Considering hanging it up.

[salsashark]

While I think there are tons of problems with this board, you are being overdramatic in this instance. However, the real test of how much this matters to you will be how long you can resist posting. If it's a while, I'll figure that the complaint is legitimate. Either way, take care.

While I could never see myself being irritated greatly by something on a message board, I realize that not everybody is the same and that I too have seen some overall non-enjoyable things occuring here as of late. But that's why I tend to stick to Off-Topic.

That said, you are one of my favorite posters on here and it'll suck seeing a fellow Watchmen geek be gone for a while. So take it easy and hopefully you'll be back quicker than you expect.

[Mattification]

I think you may be over reacting a little bit.

In your thread that got locked some guy asked you to back up your claims. This is hardly anything new or unreasonable but you accused him of trying to trap you which was a bit ott.

Same with the guy you were arguing with yesterday about women's wrestling. He never claimed men couldn`t have poor matches but you accused him of saying it several times.

A step back from the forums to see that it`s not as bad as you think it is might be a good thing.

You know...I've been here for a while now, and I have to say that this is one of the best boards that I have ever come across. It is peopled by genuine, kind, and caring individuals, many of whom have come to be my friends, and many of whom I would gladly hang out with in real life, if we were ever fortunate enough to meet.

But lately, something has been happening here, and it's not good, in any way, shape or form. There are a few folks, a small group really, who are running rampant on the WWE Current section, and who have begun to spread their poison to other parts of the board. They're ruining what was once a great place to get away from it all, like the group of boorish jerks who invade your favorite bar and ruin the atmopshere with their loud, vulgar conversations and ass backwards rhetoric. I know I'm not the only one to notice it, as there was an entire thread devoted to how people are shying away from the WWE Current section in favor of refuge in Off Topic....but I cannot stand this any longer.

I had a blowup in the Ask A Mod section that I wholly apologize for. I called for someone to be gone, and that was wrong of me. I shouldn't have said what I did, and I do regret the way I said it...but I do not regret reporting his post, which WAS a violation of the Board Rules.

That being said....I'm thinking I should leave for a while. It's just not a NICE place to post anymore.

But I don't post this for any other reason than as a heads up to the few friends and well wishers that I do have here. I don't want a pity party, I just want you all to know why I'm not around anymore, and that I'm not ignoring you or whatever.

I thank you for all the kindness and compassion you've shown over the years, and for all the good times we've had.

Goodbye, for now.

I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

Indeed, he's done it before.

Not like he doesn't have a point though, to be fair.

Yeah, this is the OT version of "I'm done with Raw/WWE".

[Tarik Dee]

We all are going to miss you, i least i will, hope see you soon and take care.

[AriadosMan]

Meh, methinks there's gonna be a big sweep of WWE Current coming soon enough that's gonna end alot of people's Wrestlecrap careers. Please consider coming back when/if that happens, as I find you quite insightful.

[Just Jay]

Damn. I can understand your sentiment. And of all posters, you were the one I looked out the most because I always respected your long, thought-out posts.

We'll being see you pal. Take care for now.

as long as you dont do "the cool thing" and make a big dramatic deal and delete your account youre cool with me. even i left for a short time after running into a few probs myself.
i encourage you to come back once you feel this place has become a tad better than when you left (heck i still trolled abit but refrained from posting)
just dont make a big boohoo scene and delete yourself.
come back soon...cuz i know everybody comes back sooner or later ;D ;D ;D

[Bo Rida]

*chants* Please don't go, please don't go.

Seriously the more people posting in a nice way the more it can influence the feel of the board, use your powers for good.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

Heh, can't say you're wrong, but these forums are still waaayyyy funnier and more civilized than the majority.

Of course, that doesn't mean we should let the douchebagness of some members unnoticed.

[AriadosMan]

Um, am I considered a troll or not? I hope I'm not responsible for this.

Let's just say the last time you two had a conversation, things didn't go very well, which led to Rorschach's decision to take a break.

Wha? I think that was stevieraymark, not me.
At least he was the one involved in the one in Off Topic.

[Kash Flagg]

I hope what I'm about to say doesn't make me come off as assholish, but it needs to be said as well.

I like you Ror, I honestly do, even after some minor flare ups, but you've caused your share of problems on this board for us mods as well. The last couple days you've been on a flaming tear and you've added to the overall negativity to the WWE boards rather than try to stop it. This is probably not your intentions, but it's true.

As funny as it sounds coming from me, you take this place waaaaay too seriously. I understand getting emotional, shit I've been a drama king more than I'd like to admit, but in the end all this place is is words on a screen. Yes you get attached to words from certain posters, but you have a luxury here you don't have in real life when someone pisses you off.

You can turn the computer off for a while...or take your frustrations out in other ways (non hurtful to yourself or others).

I'm not asking you to stay or leave or whatever, I'm just saying that maybe you need to step back and look at some of your recent posts and see how you've been coming off to people. Because if it stays on this path, you WILL be banned. That's not a threat, that's just how this place works.

[OblivionSorceress]

I know how you feel. It's heartbreaking when a good thing becomes not enjoyable anymore. I hope you find what your looking for.

P.S. I really hope I wasn't one of the people who ruined this site for you. I try to contribute in a meaningful and respectful manner.

[Bullhead]

I just made the mistake of posting in WWE Current. It really is sad in there.

Good luck, Rorschach.

[Ducky Momo]

Definitely know what it's like when that happens, even though I've never been outside of the off topic on this forum.

Haven't been here long but you seemed to be a good guy, good luck man.

Why was this necessary? Would you like any of your statements dismissed in such a smarmy and disrespectful manner? THIS is part of the problem that he was referring to, in the event that you don't know.

Edit: I guess that maybe I had been taking more time off from this site myself, because I was unaware of some of the flaming that you guys are referring to in the later posts. I just know that the disrespect that I see here puts me off. I hope that my error here did not confuse or offend, but I do stand by the remark that the smart remarks aren't needed.
