I have better things to do with my life
Some of you have become dear and much loved friends. I shall miss you very much.

Others are ratfuck bastards I don't want to waste my time on. Not many, just a few people. But right now, those few have made me want to leave. Permanently.



So goodbye, at least for a while. (I want to go away forever, but I can't bear leaving my friends - so just for a while)

Khash.

6. Thank you, khashka, for not telling them
that your time away is a discreet way of saying, "I'm running off with Heidi, and Call Me Wesley is welcome to join us." :*

:loveya:

8. In a way I know what you mean
I don't know if I would go as far as to call anyone "ratfuck bastards", but I am finding myself thinking more and more like this is not really a place to find positive vibes.

I like to surround myself with positive energy and I feel drained after spending time reading a lot of threads around here.

If you leave, take care Khash, if you are taking a break then we'll see ya when you get back.

40. I am personally adopting
"ratfuck bastards" for my own.

From henceforth, that is my curse of choice.

thank you

46. I've had a few second thoughts about my time here
after some recent posts by established members.

I'm not leaving. I have too many friends here now.

Stick around w/ me-I can accept almost anyone.

11. I hope you're back soon. Sometimes it is good to take a break.
Especially when you find yourself less than happy at the thought of DU. I just went through a time like this myself. Where everything I posted had a double meaning (unknown to me) for those who would have liked to pick a fight with me. It passed, as I am hoping that whatever it is that is bothering you shall pass as well.

12. I changed my mind...
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 01:13 PM by khashka
I ain't gonna cut and run. I'll stand and fight.

Might be a coward but I won't take the coward's way out.

I've tried (with many many others) to make this a good place. I'm not gonna give up so fucking easily. Just was feeling really hurt, but I won't let a few bad people drive me away from all the good people.

I was thinking about Ruth and merh and Joani and Heidi and Wesley and Peggy and TJ and elshiva and Wetzelbill and RetroLounge and Bertha and Dave and progmom and swimboy and Mr. Bear..... And like fuck will I let anyone make me lose them.


Khash.

After all... I've stuck it out... you can too. :) :hug: Don't let the bastards get you down. It's hard as hell, and very distressing, but the good ones are worth it... like you.

I don't talk to you much, but I always enjoy reading what you have to say, and your experiences consistently make me think about my view of the world. For that, a big thank you :hug:

Don't let the bastards get you down, right? :)

44. Take a break and take care of yourself, if you need.
I'm glad you aren't leaving and honored to be on your list. :hug:

This place can be draining, so much emotion, sometimes so intense you wonder how reading words can make you feel so deeply.

Just take care of yourself and recharge, I know I need you here and there are so many others on the list of those that need you.

:loveya: :loveya:

You haven't even gotten to know me. I consider myself a nice person and could surely make up for one rotten person that treated you badly.

Forgive me for being so bold, but I do like to read your posts and would miss them.

I read your original post and got no further, had to post w/o reading any of the subsequent posts. Sometimes I'm like Cheney out quail hunting. :blush:

But anyway: hooray, you're staying! :bounce:


Hey, wait a minute, I'm mad at you :mad: You made me :cry:

30. Don't even go there, you ratfuck bastard!
You know I have a very special place in my heart for you!

Sheesh, don't mention the decrepit old man and he thinks you hate him! My fingers got tired, OK? I couldn't type to save my live!

Come on, dude, some things don't need to be said. So, just wondering idly, when are you gonna go gay? Not that I think you will, but a boy has to keep his hopes up :)

19. No wonder we're cranky.
We keep taking political hits, and we have no power to do anything about it. It's Republicans we hate, really, not one another.
