Well? Go ahead, get it off your chest!

bye
You didn't deserve much of the shit treatment you received, although, just as a tip, starting as a lurker rather than a drama lord is usually a smart choice.

Anyways, sorry to see an active member go. Icewedge 01:36, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * And that's coming from a fellow teenager, who has been through many stages hisself. I agree with both his points.  I tried to email you, but it ain't enabled, and I forgot  what I was gonna say anyway. Best of luck in the next few years.  ħ uman  01:49, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I know what I was going to say.  CUR - just don't take all this online shit so seriously.   It's just digits whizzing around in cyberstupidspace, and it means very, very little.   The fact is, the sun will be up tomorrow, and it'll be a good day full of possibility and fun.   Enjoy it.   And don't EVER make light, skirt by, mention in passing, or loosely threaten suicide.   It's a really, really, REALLY big deal and it's a desperately tragic issue.   So come back here and say goodbye one more time, then hit the road and have a blast.   It's a fun world out there, and a chap with your brains needs to put a hefty number of years under his belt as yet.   Best.   DogP  01:59, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, that's close enough - seconded. Especially on the "enjoy life" part.  I know, Missouri sucks, but still...  ħ uman 
 * I didn't want you to leave, but given the horrendous treatment that you got from Toast and ToP, in particular, I would have done so myself. Goodbye. 05:24, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Goodbye, CUR, and all the best. Your influence will live on in TheoryOfPractice's overdramatic contributions at aSK.-- 05:45, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I've been watching your developments from the other side of the fence, and I believe you were a bit of a whipping boy without due cause. Sure, your ways and tactics are different from the concensus views of most of the site, but that is mostly out of youth.  Us older dudes can't relate.  I never really found a niche here myself, and I'm not sure I ever will.  And as far as the therianism, it's different, I'll admit, but I'm one to never question one's beliefs (well, sometimes).  I always thought you had the coolest handle on this site; it just has a certain ring to it.  But, keep your chin up, go out and have fun, and hope to see you here again.   07:03, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Please Don't Go. I have always Considered you to be one of the most Intelligent and NOMA Friendly people on the site.  You will be a Sad loss to Rationality!--Tolerance 12:04, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Christ, if it meant somehow RW could be rid of you and your remarkably annoying arguments and prose style, I'd take CUR back in a second. TheoryOfPractice 12:16, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * And Capitalisation.  You've STILL Never explained Your Bizarre Capitalisation rules.   DogP  13:01, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Maybe he's SHE'S German? Or maybe he's like me and just capitalizes random words.... I'm horrible at that SirChuckB  14:03, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * He's also a woman. TheoryOfPractice 14:09, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I trust that was merely a correction to Chuck and not any indication of bias. ;-) 14:30, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Noted and corrected, I apologize for any gender based offense I may have caused. SirChuckB  14:37, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I have no with to remove any Interest which CUR may want to Generate with his Departure.--Tolerance 15:34, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Hey CUR, I thought your leaving was an April Fool's joke! I fully expected to see you saying "ha-ha fooled you" today - I had no idea you were serious. That's why I didn't say anything before now. But I think you should stay. Just ignore what you don't like and keep what you do - I'd miss you if you stayed away. Just do this: Leaving and never coming back. (read the page, not exactly what it sounds like) And by the way, didn't you say at [RationalWikiwiki] that you are male? Now I'm confused, clear it up please. Refugee talk page 15:17, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * It was referring to Tolerance. 15:19, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Ah, so that's it. I found this whole conversation a bit confusing. Ok CUR, here's another option: Gone but not left. Hope you stay under your own name though. Refugee talk page 15:23, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

April Fool's
You know that April Fool's ends at 12 o'clock on the first of April, rather than half nine on the second of April, right? 16:47, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Yes, but this was the first oppurtunity I had to tell you. Actually, orignally, it wasn't go to be false- but RW is part of me now, and I can't leave it, even if I wanted to. What can I say? -- 16:51, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * You could sorry for being such a girls blouse and needing a ride in the whambulance. Ace McWickedRevolt 16:55, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

Who the *%&! else was I going to raid the castle of established red-linked users with?! Bloomin' arse! 16:56, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Do you have ANY concept of how risky, dangerous, stupid and in appalling taste it was for you to do this, and mention suicide in passing?  Any?   Seriously?   Do you?   Much as we all suspected, you just flounced off in a typically childish attention seeking fashion, like Sarah Bernhadt's granny.   "Oohh, look at meeee!   I'm so upset!"    That's simply annoying.   But mentioning suicide is a DISASTROUSLY poor judgement call.   Don't expect much tolerance or sympathy from now on, and GROW THE HELL UP.   Seriously, think about this.   DogP  17:03, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

* briefly thinks about it. Then thinks about DogP and wonders if he will ever get along with him. Decides 'no, get back to life'* -- 17:05, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I have to agree with you there DogP. I suspected this was an attention seeking exercise, knowing full well CUR was watching our reactions like a hawk. Having known a couple of suicides myself I think this was in very poor taste. Ace McWickedRevolt 17:06, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I was watching your reactions just in case. . . look, I don't quite know what I was doing, or why I was doing it. All I know is that you blaming me for Trent's 'leave' drove me over the edge for a day, and now I'm back. -- 17:11, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Yes...but THAT was an April Fool's, CUR.  You hadn't spotted Trent's blindlingly obvious April Fool's (you really believed he has turned to God?!! Ha!), which started it, you got caught on the Gullibility Express, and we just ran with it.   It wasn't grossly in bad taste, unlike dropping the word 'suicide' into a joke posting.    DogP  17:58, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Why would I want attention, when it always ends in a flame match? -- 17:08, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I think you miss the point. I WANTED to leave, but couldn't. I'm stuck here, even if I want to be running in the opposite direction. And by the way, oddly, the more people annoy me, the firmer my grip here is. -- 17:08, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Ummm, what are you gripping? Nutty Roux 19:31, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Wait, we annoy you, too?  ħ uman  21:17, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

Hmm. I could be wrong (and missing the history of edits), but it seems to me that everyone is very hard on CUR. At the least, he's an ill informed teen and at worst ...errr.. the same. Is there not a better target than a kid who thinks he's a cat? Targeting someone who is socially maladjusted alternative seems like bullying... Taytopacket 20:28, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I've been accussed of trolling and manipulation. If I do indeed do those things, it is accidental. What I want to do with my life is generally contribute to the world without anyone noticing, travel the world, and pet cats. -- 21:05, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * As I've said, waving the suicide card in everyone's face is just about the lowest you can go.  Not even TK would pull that shit.  After that, there's nowhere to go but the exit.    DogP  02:50, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Have you noticed that CUR can never be wrong; if he is trolling it is an accident, if he is edit warring it is because people are provoking him, if he unwelcomes someone it is because he got caught up in everyone else's intolerance? CUR grow up and take responsibility for yourself. - User   03:00, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Actually, it seems like I am always wrong, just not to myself. If I was 'never wrong' you wouldn't be bothering me. -- 16:01, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Trouble is he put up the target. It's not a big deal, but you haven't learned how "not to be seen" yet.  Try hiding in a filing cabinet.  Oh wait, they'll still be able to hear you...  ħ uman  21:17, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I just got back from a week long break, more than half of the message on the intercom were from you CUR. Using something that was purposely created for gaining the whole site attention is hardly the way go about not to be seen. Can we recreate the town criers group and get it working this time? - User   03:00, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

Edit
Thanks for not plunging us into a pointless edit war. Oh yeah, that pic does look better on the left. Ace McWickedRevolt 21:36, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Ace, I will always associate you with certain disturbing images on this wiki.  ħ uman  00:23, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I consider myself lucky then. Ace McWickedRevolt 01:13, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I don't know what luck has to do with it, and thank you for the, um, "present". <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms"> ħ uman  02:12, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

Crap
I really hoped you had left. Since the poor taste suicide jab I've decided that your not just a boring spotty internet teen, but an insensitive cunt as well. Adios. MarcusCicero 09:05, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * You know, normally I don't like to disappoint people, but I'm making an exception in your case. -- 16:02, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I should like to say that the initial comment in this thread is the most Insulting that I have seen on this wiki. Although CUR may irritate many people on the wiki he Hardly deserves such vitriolic personal abuse.--Tolerance 16:06, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Then you haven't been here long. . . seriously, can you just leave my talk page alone? I'll just make a subpage called 'Shoot me' and I will be able to go about being a WikiOgre without anyone noticing, just like I wanted. -- 16:11, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * EC) Again! Tolerance, stop being reasonable, please. 16:13, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Sorry Toast. I'll say Something Religious tomorrow just for you.  :-) --Tolerance 17:25, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * There you are with the suicide crap again. This may only be the internet but a lot of people know people who killed themselves. Its an ugly and terrible thing to happen and it destroys families. It also has a domino effect throughout society. But again, I'll stress, your an annoying little spotty teenager who takes the internet too seriously and doesn't troll, like any respectable internet user should. MarcusCicero 16:42, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Actually, this is a spin-off of Javascap's 'slap me with a trout' but I thought the title was more appropriate here. If you have a better title, tell me. -- 16:45, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I knew someone who shot himself. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms"> ħ uman  16:47, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Did you read the title? It is about an action being done to me by somebody else- in other words, you are shooting insults at me. Maybe I shout add spaces. -- 16:48, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

Why are you doing this CUR? What are you hoping to get out of it? 18:52, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Actually, I hope to get rid of something- large orange banners. -- 19:00, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * What, you mean this?

<font color="black" face="Monotype Corsiva" size = "3"> This is not a place to call me an idiot. Legit criticism and discussion is fine. If you want to insult me <font color=002BB8>please go here <font color=002BB8> .
 * It's still there. You just need to edit the top of your user talk page.   19:05, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * No, the 'You have new messages' banner. It gets sort of annoying to go there, only to find out that it was merely someone bitching at me and not giving me advice, on say, the star article. My talk page is for business, not for bitching. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how its supposed to work. -- 19:09, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Talk page is for anything that anybody has to say to you. If they're bitching, don't just push it to one side: consider whether the criticisms are valid.  Nobody is perfect, but if we're hearing the same criticisms or advice from different voices, it's better to act on it than to ignore it.  Speaking from experience here, not just mouthing off.   19:20, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
 * I'm talking about whether Mei has a desire to say 'you're no fun'- she puts it here. If Toast wants to call me an idiot for no reason, she puts it here. If anyone has a valid complaint, they put it on my talk page. if it is just someone with a chip on their shoulder calling me an idiot. . . I'll add a big header to her warning of that when I am done making the star article. -- 19:33, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
