I hope that you're all happy now

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 12:00 am

I'll explain my reasons for leaving before any of you start thinking things that aren't real.I admit that I have been depressing for the most part of my stay here.Heck, I even lashed out at the board a while back (leading to Weasel getting pissed at me ).I have tried to apologise for it, but it seems that some members wouldn't accept it.I have even tried keeping my depression away from the board, or at least appearing to be a much happier person; but it isn't easy when you know that you're not forgiven for your own stupid actions.I must say, being ignored by certain members doesn't really help lift my spirits either(yeah, I've heard that 'busy' explanation countless times; you don't have give me that excuse anymore, neither do you need to tell me anymore lies)

I'm sorry that I'm not good at words; I believe that most of my posts have been misunderstood by others, leading to me being hated by them.Posting here used to be fun when Flagg, Drakron and Chrissy were around(don't get me wrong; I still enjoy the company of many others like T'lainya,Waverly, Ubik, Gruntboy, Xandax, C Elegans,Vehemence,vixen; the list goes on ), but I feel guilty everytime I log on because I know that the people whom I have offended in the past, would not even accept my apology.

As some of you may know, I'm sitting for the biggest examination of my life at the end of this year, and being depressed is distracting me from my studies.So, to prevent myself from getting even more depressed, and to prevent everyone else from getting depressed because of me, I bid you all farewell.I no longer care wether you wish to side with Weasel or me, since IMHO, I was never at war with him.If any of you wish to misinterpret my reasons for leaving the board, fine, go ahead, live in your little fantasy world.As far as I'm concern, I'm doing this for the best interest of everybody.I have tried my best at being accepted by everyone, but,it seems that my best isn't enough.

To Mr. Weasel, I have sent you both a public and a personal apology, as well as publicly stating that I've made the biggest mistake of my life by making that statement a few weeks ago.You could have replied to my PM with whatever you wanted to say, but no, you had to go and involve everyone else with your comment in the other thread.I hope that you're finally laughing, dear sir, because I am; not at you, but at my own stupidity for thinking that you are an understanding person.I care not if you and your supporters make me look as bad as baaasie to all the new posters here.I hope that you'll have fun at being childish.I have said all that I have wanted to say; I will still respect you even if you did so.

Lastly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has treated me like a friend and made my stay enjoyable here.I feel sad to have to leave you all, but this is for the best (hopefully

).I am sorry for all the mistakes that I've ever done to you, and I wish you all the best in life.If you ever need anything from me, I'll still be checking my PM once in awhile.

I bid you all farewell

*OMG* - What the heck has been going on here???

Oh well - I must say that I'll miss you Brink. You were the only one that I often had to spam...eeh..chat to in here many a day.

Hope you sometime will come back to us when you get you depression in line (I know it is hard) and get a energy-surplus to be around us again

and get strait whatever dissagrement you and others have.
I'll still be here

Finally I wish you all the best in your future, and a massive good luck with you examinations.
Just remember - there is so much more to life than only studying.
Have fun

Sadly
Xandax

Your right that when Flagg was around things were cool (I have been around since Christmas but I never bothered to register).

So in the words of that first fool you meet in Baldur's Gate:

Fare thee Well, as they say.

well, to bad Brink's gone now so he can't heed that advice.(Or are you still there? Right? Musing over the results of your post

? )

(I still think he'll return to see what an uproar he has caused

)

You are going nowhere mister!

If you go you will become a legend, if weasel does he will too (damn you have 13900 posts together)
Not to sound like a smart old geezer but if you are depressed it will only do you worse if you just quit and run away. If you are a little depressed you might think that all the world has turned against you even though it is not so. You are not hated here (not by me anyway) you are a friend on the net like most others here in the Banshee family. No family without a little house domestic right? It will be better and you will regret it so much if you leave, trust me!
And I don't agree with you that weasel is a non-forgiver I am sure he can. I haven't posted here much but I have read a lot since 2000 and if there is one thing weasel is not it is a bad person. I am sure that he can find forgiveness in his big Spam heart somewhere.

So please drop all this before it turns into BansheeHills 90210.

Just MHO

Your friend
Garcia

I asked no one...NO ONE to take sides.

I started my topic to help people. People who are tired of having their e-mails and PM's spammed.I explained to them that they could block their e-mails and PM's and wouldn't be bothered then.

You then come in to the thread and posted another message to me...knowing I have not answered your PM and will not answer it.You brought this on your own self.

statement a few weeks ago.You could have replied to my PM with whatever you wanted to say, but no, you had to go and involve everyone else with your comment in the other thread. by Brink

I have ignored you...this time it didn't work. When someone doesn't answer a PM within this time period I know not to talk, post, or send anything to this person. Did you think I would answer next year? As I said YOU brought this on your self.

I don't know where in your paranoid mind you think someone is laughing at you, but IMHO get help before it's too late for you.

I hope that you'll have fun at being childish. Posted by Brink

Your one statement here tells it all.

Does a grown up chase people from forum to forum?

Does a grown up spam up womens PM's?

Grow up Brink. You are 16 but act like a 2 year old.

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 2:59 am

I know that you have not answered my PM;I guessed that you were probably ignoring me, but I do not know the reason why.If it's because of you being sick of seeing me depressed all the time, then I'm sorry, ignoring me will only make things worse for me.I suppose I will never be able convince you to look at things from my point of view

I do not recall chasing people from forum to forum.As for spamming up a woman's PM, have you ever asked her what my last 3 PMs to her were?If she considers that as spam, then, I am sorry that I've ever started PMing her, and I will never bug her again.

You're right; I should just go 'grow up' somewhere far away.I'm sorry to have brought my misery to the boards.

Listen here. I didn't NOT join this forum to babysit you or anybody else. PERIOD

A long time ago I offered to help you in a e-mail...since then you have decided to ignore this and post your problems on the boards.

That's the whole problem Brink...your point of view is all you see.

It's all about you Brink..all about you..show me attention or I will get depressed. Answer my question or I will get depressed...ect ect ect......

Shall I show links to prove my point??

As for what you send people in PM's I don't care, it's not my business to know. But when someone asks me what to do about someone bothering them I tell them what to do.

And please save your "I'm Sorry ****" this has gotten beyond old.

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 3:50 am

I admit, no one pays attention to what I have to say or what I do in real life, which is why I act like I do in the forums.I now know that that is because I don't have anything useful to say to others.I concede your points.I no longer wish to argue over this.I will leave the forums and return when I'm older (and hopefully, wiser)

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 5:11 am

My few comments (as i always comment on everything

) and then i am leaving this alone.....

No one can post 7105 comments and not post a certain percentage of substance.

As Fable once said, we (Gamebanshee) can not be Brinks support structure, it is up to friends and family. I post here along with others for enjoyment, but i know where to draw the line.

Look at Waverly, Gruntboy and Vehemence, they mess around posting jokes and flaming, but the impression you get of these three is that they are level headed and act like this merely for enjoyment.

I knew something like this was going to happen. We spend a great proportion of our lives on Gamebanshee and spending so much time with one group of individuals can cause rifts. I remember many occasions when i have had arguments with friends, i would spend a few days not talking to them and then would return to find it didn't matter what i had said before, we were still friends. But the point was that i had other friends to go and talk to or mum/dad, or even my brother. I didn't spend all my time with one person trying to reason with them. I leave them to calm down and then we reaffirm our relationship together.

If i look at this situation from what i have seen and heard, i have made certain decisions regarding peoples conduct and for some reason no matter what happens those feelings will probably remain.

It is my hope that this situation does not create a rift between members. I hope that everyone (still around) can sort out whatever differences they might perceive they have.

Sorry for the length of this rant.

Waverly · Post by **Waverly** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 5:34 am

“I hope that you're all happy now”

What an unfair and manipulative way to post a goodbye, Brink. The people here at GB are not responsible for your happiness and well being, nor are they capable of taking it away. Bear responsibility for your own self-concept and actions. Leave the rest of us out of it. I’m tired to death of statements that are designed to make others feel guilt and maneuver them into supplying you with the praise and attention you crave.

You are going to encounter challenges far in excess of these exams in your life. I suggest you spend some time studying and develop the coping skills you will need later in life. I really do wish you well, and encourage you to seek help (not just attention) IRL. Please don’t come back to me with any explanations or apologies, I’ve already said more than I intended to.

\^/

Mr Sleep · Post by **Mr Sleep** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 6:01 am

Waverly summed things up well and if Brink is still around, he should appreciate Waverly's advice.

From personal experience i have lived only 19 years of life and exams are probably the least stressful thing that have ever happened to me. To claim them as an example for certain conduct is not really adequate.

I am sorry for posting more it is just that Waverly brought up a good point and i felt it necessary to support him on it.

T'lainya · Post by **T'lainya** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 7:48 am

Brink, please read what Waverly and Sleep said and think about it. Posting an angry topic like this is immature and disruptive.

"So please drop all this before it turns into BansheeHills 90210."

My sentiments exactly, no matter how light-hearted it may be. Of course it's prolly not my place to say....look at the posts #! I'm a new guy. But i'm good at stickin my nose where it doesn't belong

But still, this whole situation doesn't seem natural. They sure were right when they told me there was a lot goin on at this board.

Hope all involved come out of this for the better.

Darkpoet · Post by **Darkpoet** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 9:26 am

Hmmmm, this content, has been edited, as not to offend others. As for everything else, grow up, Brink. So, as you can take responsablity of yourself.

Aegis · Post by **Aegis** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 9:44 am

Brink, I am deeply sorry that you feel you must go. I, personnally do not know what was said or done, but I doubt is was that bad. Hell, if you rememeber my earlier days on this board, I was getting flamed left right and centre, and I was posting a lot of really stupid stuff. (Does anyone remember "Counting With Aegis"?

) and I've pissed a lot of people off. I didn't leave though. I stuck it out, and I'm sure you can as well.

I'm not going to go into the whole guilt trip, or accusing thing. I'm just going to say a few words. If you leave this board, and turn your back to us here, you better be prepared to not come back. By giving up, your letting everyone but yourself win. If you leave, very few people will accept you back here, and those that would, will probbly be flamed to death. Personally, I don't want to be flamed to death.

So, here's your choice. Leave, and watch from a far. Or stick it out, and become stronger for it. My e-mail address is open if you want to talk further, as is my PM box.

Denethorn · Post by **Denethorn** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 10:05 am

I see this stuff on loads of other boards... they say they go but they are back in a few days... but Brink - wow! very same day

.

This will all pass over so grow up, stop acting so immature and get backl to having some fun... and if you can't have any stop trying to bring down other peoples enjoyment while your at it.

I'm on Weasels side because he hasn't complained - he just dismissed you and got on.
