Well? Go ahead, get it off your chest!
bye[edit]
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. ħuman 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... ħuman
- 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. Word educated Phantom Hoover! 05:24, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
- Goodbye, CUR, and all the best. Your influence will live on in TheoryOfPractice's overdramatic contributions at aSK.--

- 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.

- 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.

April Fool's[edit]
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? Word educated Phantom Hoover! 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? --<choose>

- 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)

- 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. --<choose>

- 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.

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)

- 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?

- 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)

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)

- 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.
