Bye...
 
I posted this on PARF but I want to let others know...
Concerning my friends kid who died in a car accident a few weeks ago. I posted a thread and low and behond the trolls and idiots began to emerge...

You guys think you know the story - you do not. The fact of the matter is not just that a couple of kids died senselessly it is also interesting how some of you (who I didn't expect) actually voice an opinion and try to assemble reason or worse call BS on me for posting this story.

Who the heck do you really think you are? Do you really (albeit for a minute) think I give a crap about your 'insight"? I thought I had some friends here that I could dump some crap with and you would listen? I guess not.

What some of you have shown is a total disrespect for me and worse an arrogence that is to a point laughable.

Take a cue from the 'more enlightened' on this forum - think about your post before you type. Its one think to be perverted or try to be funny its different if your just a jerk.

If someone is sharing a painful story regardless if you think it is true or not just let it ride. What the heck difference does it make?

In the past I have asked a few of you who I respect for your opinion and I did so via PM. The rest, the heck with you. I have too much to do and farnkly...This place isn't worth the energy or frustration...

PM me if you ever want to tlk directly other wise I wish you all a safe and glorious life. So it goes...

Mike, I can appreciate your feelings after what happened in the thread. Let me be the first to say you will be missed.

I wish you well with everything in life.

Mike,

Sorry you let the @ssh0les get you down.

They are always around, even here (some would say especially here).
When we are most affected is when our emotions are deeply involved in our posts. It hurts when you realize someone doesn't give a darn about your pain.
I guess that is why I haven't posted about the deaths of two of my brothers or two others in hospital in the last couple of years. Just don't want to hang it out there.

Can't offer any real good advice, but PMs work both ways.
Best
Les

Sorry to hear that your leaving.

The trouble with the printed word is that it doesn't always display the emotion and the actual intent of the writer. While I didn't follow that thread beyond the initial posting of your friend's child passing, I have seen quite a few threads go sideways here for no apparent reason.

Good luck and come back when you think you can.

Some people are not worth the air they consume. You should not let them get under your skin Mike. I wish you luck.

Mike,
I'm very sorry for what happened, but please don't let the few idiots ruin it for the rest of us. This "virtual community" has its share of a**holes, but also some of the best people I've ever known, remember that and reconsider, please...

svandamme 03-03-2012 06:16 AM

Mike, don't be a stranger, not because of those kinds of folks..they really ain't worth it.

LWJ 03-03-2012 06:21 AM

I guess I completely missed something. Lubey, what happened to your neighbor's son was a tragedy. A big one. There is no other explanation. You will be missed.

Mike , I'm really sorry to hear this. Wish you would rethink it. Youre one of the better guys on here.
I made a vow to myself to stay away from that side of the board. Its just not worth it. It has really degraded.

Larry, the fact of the matter, is some people on here are just lowlife scum., and are not worthy of discussion.

kaisen 03-03-2012 06:41 AM

Mike-

I've felt the same way. So I understand completely. I hope we can keep in touch. You've got my email address, and feel free to add me on Facebook.

I've met many Pelicans in person. It's clear that online personas can be misleading to how they conduct themselves face to face. PARF, in particular, destroys the civility that we come to expect from community. You reached out the the community in your time of grief. Unfortunately, it was moved to PARF. Not the place for sensitivity in a time you needed it. On behalf of the fools and trolls, I'm sorry.

Best regards,

Eric

LUBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


no, don't do it! I hope to see you back!

vash 03-03-2012 06:51 AM

Mike. Please pm me contact info.

What thread?

crustychief 03-03-2012 06:51 AM

Mike, I am sorry you are considering leaving. You really do make a positive difference here.

sc_rufctr 03-03-2012 07:00 AM

take care Mike...

Targa Me 03-03-2012 07:09 AM

Don't go Mike.
Don't let the idiots get to you.

Take care.

Noah930 03-03-2012 07:14 AM

Sorry to hear you go, Mike. You will be missed. Hope you reconsider your decision.

bivenator 03-03-2012 07:17 AM

Sorry to hear it, maybe this will be just a hiatus.

gprsh924 03-03-2012 07:56 AM

You posted a version of the story that was light in facts and heavy on racism. You got the response you deserved.

Zeke 03-03-2012 08:10 AM

I've gotten my panties in a wad a couple of times and left. 6 months the last time. Mike will be back. Few do what Sniper did and go away forever and even he reappeared briefly. And forever ain't over yet.

Enjoy the break. Maybe you can pass the time getting roofing estimates.

Yes, mike... I have been here a few years... the tide of a-holes ebbs and flows... unfortunately your post coincided with a high tide of A-holes... don't let them get you down!
