Going away? Post so here! — Page 25

I guess then that I will stick around, at least for now.

Off Topic has been pretty dead lately. We need some more conflict to liven things up around here…

Shut up.

Why you slimy piece of worm-ridden filth.

*slaps Frink*

EDIT: WRong thread

edit: wrong thread.

Even worse: It causes me to post things in the wrong thread!!

What’s wrong is right and what’s right is wrong.

Now let’s argue about the pros and cons of moral relativism.

At least do it in the right thread? What, are we now stooping to the level of the Off Topic posters?

I’ll notice more than you guys (cause I’m always reading but not always posting), but I’ll be off this site and the rest of the inter webs starting tomorrow. Back on Thursday.

Hope you have an enjoyable week, even if it is without us.

A couple weeks ago, I made an announcement that I was going to quit OT.com for awhile. You guys managed to talk me out of it, and so I continued visiting and posting here. Well here I am again, making another announcement of my departure.

Suffice it to say, I’m dead-tired of everything pertaining to TFA, the ST, and the elevated fanboy Jar Jar Abrams, whose face I am oh so desperate to punch in. I’m sick of hearing about it all, reading about it all, and talking about it all. I want to forget about TFA – pretend that it doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, it does exist; it’s here, and that’s all everyone wants to discuss.

One of the reasons I visit OT.com is to get away from the various causes of stress in my life. But coming here now, at this time, is causing me nothing but stress. Therefore, I’m going to be taking a break from the forum for a couple months, enough time – hopefully – for all talk surrounding this fucking movie to die down.

I’ll continue to visit the re-write subforum from time-to-time to update my screenplays, and I’ll pay a visit on New Year’s Eve/Day, but otherwise, you won’t be seeing or hearing from me before March at the earliest.

'Til then, goodbye.

So wait… you’re leaving a star wars forum because they are discussing the new star wars movie alot? And have you even seen the movie? Because it’s pretty great. And so what if we’re talking about it? It’s a star wars forum of course we’re going to talk about it. Why does us talking about a star wars movie on a star wars forum stress you out? Don’t take this the wrong way, because I hope that you stay, but you’re reasoning here is absurd.

You do realize, you can avoid most of the TFA talk by remaining in the off topic section, right? (and yes, I know there a thread about TFA that someone stupidly put in the off topic section. But you can still avoid most of the talk of the new film by sticking to the off topic section)

Yeah, I’m pretty sure he hasn’t seen it…and he will insist on hating it even if he actually would have liked it.

Well, someone’s quick to judge. I reserve judgement on the movie until I see it, and I’m expecting it to be far better than the prequels.

No, I haven’t seen it, and there’s nothing – absolutely nothing – about the movie that compells me to see it.

And so what if we’re talking about it? It’s a star wars forum of course we’re going to talk about it.

Which is why I’m going to take a break from the forum instead of insisting everyone stop talking about it.

Why does us talking about a star wars movie on a star wars forum stress you out?

Everything I read or hear about this movie just annoys me. The more I read and the more I hear, the more annoyed I become and the higher the blood pressure rises. Even I can see how unhealthy that is.

Don’t take this the wrong way, because I hope that you stay, but you’re reasoning here is absurd.

Yes, it most definitely is absurd. There’s little I can to to remedy it but to remove myself from at least one of the absurdity’s causes.

Right now, my activity in off topic’s* starting to serve as a mirror, and I don’t like what I see when I look into it. My posts in the “Hot Women Who Just Don’t Do It For You” thread have brought that home for me.

I think it’s best that I just leave for a while and come back when I can stand to be around myself a little more.

*Hell, my activity throughout OT.com.

I’m tired of investing time and interest in a franchise that, for years now, has produced nothing but disappointment for me. Nothing I’ve seen or read about this movie convinces me that it deserves the benefit of the doubt, so it’s not going to get that from me.

More power to you, but “better than the prequels” isn’t enough to cut the mustard for me anymore.

Better than return of the Jedi. But frinks right, you’d hate it regardless of what it was because you are so convinced everything that happened after the 90’s is Shit. What exactly have you heard that makes you think it sucks? Must be the almost unanimously positive reviews I imagine.

I agree it does seem a little silly DE but if that is how you honestly feel, I think you’re probably making the right choice. If sticking around is only going to further your irrationality, best to take a break.

I don’t understand psychology much so I can’t give you great advice, so I’ll just say try your hardest to find someone to talk to. It can really help.

YIYF!!! How are ya? Welcome Back!
