Erased, over, out...Amen

[Reznorite420]

Before anyone says anything, know this: I am not saying all of this only because I've gotten my warning, although it did act as a catalyst; what I'm about to say reflects how I've felt for a while and has been a moderately ongoing thing. Now, with that aside, here goes the rest of my (not so) little message.

I joined these forums in the hope that I could find a more stable forum environment than the ones I had been a member of before joining here (Doomworld and Doomcenter, the latter of which thankfully doesn't exist anymore). Basically I was looking for a forum that didn't consist mainly of bigoted, elitist, holier-than-thou gaming geeks that slap you with a "moron" label just because you don't have programming experience or haven't made a major contribution to the community (apparently over at Doomworld and Doomcenter you were a nobody if you didn't make an uber-special-detailed mega modification of levels and such to release for download). Not to offend anyone personally on here, but you all know the story of how I discovered this site and its forums quite by accident. Nevertheless, I joined thinking that since it was a haven of TMNT fans and not all-out computer geeks, I figured I'd be safe and sound when and if I did post.

For a short time, I had a bit of rantings and ravings about my troubles connecting with IRC, but they thankfully didn't get too out of control. My first real bit of trouble with the mods, however, came with my very first anti-TMHT rant here (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=50846&highlight=#50846). That post was edited by Azure in time to avoid anyone being offended by my comments about the "fruity, p***y" Brits and how it made no sense to dub someone a bad boy for saying "Ninja". While did state a few posts later that it was the first forum I've ever been to where insults weren't allowed, I nonetheless complied, or at least tried to, and promised never to make such a rant about that again. Case closed? Not quite...since that was over a year ago, and many newer members on here know of some other little mishaps involving me.

Shortly after, LanaGirl made a thread about the rumored John Woo CGI movie and pointed to the clips of the pilot available on the official site. I made a rather brief attack (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=50916&highlight=#50916) on Lana, whilst trying to be as logical as possible. I even admitted to my own ignorance, but unlike the previous time, I actually held a grudge a bit longer. Still, I put logic aside for the time and decided once again to make nothing of it and get on with life.

Then came the the arrival of beaker. For those who remember, beaker, GK, and Leo656 all joined around the same time if I'm not mistaken. beaker brought with him his plethora of enyclopedic knowledge about everything anime. Don't forget the arguments that ensued afterwards that ended with beaker saying something like this: "Dude, quit thinking about that goofy excuse for anime and watch some REAL anime, I'll bet you then you won't think anime sucks!" He and everybody else on his side at the time apparently didn't want to listen to me when I said I HAVE seen "real" anime such as Akira, and I still think it sucks beyond belief. The point here, however, isn't about liking anime, it's about how irritated I get when people get on my case when I say something sucks and they tell me that I haven't seen enough and act as if it's some sort of law to have to like the "real" thing, otherwise you're a dumbass. Wow, wonderful (lack of) logic there, buddy.

Don't forget my little spiffs with Leo about Mick Foley and NTN about my extreme dislike of rap. Since I have limited time, I won't get into the deatails about that.

All I'm saying is that all of this asinine behavior, flaming, and bickering over one little sentence I say, no matter how innocent and objective, is just too unbearable for me, and now I get a warning, of all things, one of the last things in the world that I thought would happen to me on here...

Here's a brief list of all things on here that I have some real problems with that have happened to me more than once on here:

- Making short, trivial posts that hardly keep the topic going, getting told off or insulted by some members, and then having those same members turn around and do the exact same thing I did

- Commenting on someone's writing skills (albeit a bit maliciously sometimes, I'll admit) and then being dubbed a "grammar Nazi" or something; look, people, if you can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're" by the time you hit 7th grade, you have problems. Don't come crying to me when you try to apply for college and then not be accepted due to your poor writing skills. I wasn't in advanced English (not AP, though) for nothing!

- Commenting about the certain "spam" threads that pop up every 5 minutes and then being told to f**k off.

I could go on, but I'd rather not since I can't even think of a whole list myself.

We also must look at the facts of the situation:

- I'm a college freshman who needs more time to study than I did in high school

- I hardly find a vast majority of the topics interesting anymore

- I've said quite a few things on here that haven't exactly been cause enough to make celebration, so why should I bother to say anything more?

- I honestly have better things to do with my time than to browse an online forum now that I AM an adult and living more or less on my own

- I don't really care for TMNT as much I used to a year ago (it was just a spontaneous memory resurfacing)

Long story short, I think it's actually time for me to grow up once again, something I can safely say many key members on here haven't even BEGUN to do yet.

So this is it...the end...epilogue...finale...departure...hasta la bye-bye. It's been an interesting year and 3 months to say the least. Can't say it's been a treat, but it's been real.

Maybe those of you who have me on your AIM buddy list or something but haven't seen me on in forever will catch me from time to time.

Adios and farewell.

[That Matt Guy]

I really don't know what to say. I perosnally have enjoyed the comments you have made (especially those old threads you mentioned about anime and Beaker) and I don't want to see you vanish forever from this forum. Without you, this forum's intelligence goes down about 30%. Maybe I'll see you around on AIM, except I don't think I have your name.

[Stone Ill]

Then came the the arrival of beaker. For those who remember, beaker, GK, and Leo656 all joined around the same time if I'm not mistaken. beaker brought with him his plethora of enyclopedic knowledge about everything anime. Don't forget the arguments that ensued afterwards that ended with beaker saying something like this: "Dude, quit thinking about that goofy excuse for anime and watch some REAL anime, I'll bet you then you won't think anime sucks!"

Don't forget my little spiffs with Leo about Mick Foley and NTN about my extreme dislike of rap. Since I have limited time, I won't get into the deatails about that.

I can relate to this whole section right here. I hate anime too, and I think it sucks. Although time and time again I get the response 'you have to see the real thing and then you'll like it!'. I can respect people liking anime, but why can't they respect me loathing it? Ah.. I don't know.

The same thing with rap. I despise it. As you said, I won't get into details about that either. Since I'll be attacked by all of the homies here.

[jeff the cheff]

You have good reasons not to post at this forum anymore, so I guess it's good your leaving. (woops i meant you're! :lol: )

You will be missed!

[The Defibrillator]

Rez.......


I think I'm on your hit list, but honestly, 90% of the time, your posts are entertaining, and sometimes even insightful..... Yeah, there are those times where we disagree, but if you do really leave, you will be missed. I hope you reconsider.......

[impetus]

Come on and stay man! I was just starting to like ya! :) Well, feel free to IM me anytime.

[DarthRaphael]

Just so nobody is wondering, Rez got a warning for posts like this:
Wow, wasn't that f**king enlightening?
Using this thread as an example: http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7140&postdays=0&postorder=asc&star t=20

Which is clearly against forum rules :
Attacking other members on the forums is not allowed.
http://thetechnodrome.com/frules.shtml


Rez, if want to leave that is up to you, but if you thought at anytime you were treated unfairly, why didn't you bring it up to a mod or Krang?? If you are going head-to-head with a particular mod, PM a different one to step in to help out. Contrary to what most people may think, we are not out to get anybody, we don't have a "watch list", and we don't plot against anyone. We take action when we think the rules have been broken.

[Voltron]

I don't know what to say...

[Kid Icarus]

Your choice if you wanna leave Rez, I just don't see why you're making such a big deal about it.

And about the anime thing... its like the movie industry or music industry here. There's a type of anime for anything you could think of (and yes, there are even some that don't look 'anime'). I respect your decision to not like it, but I don't think you're watching ones that would appeal to you.

[ThirdMarioBro]

The fact that this message board dosen't allow insults is the main reason I like it. If you want to scream

n00b!!!!!

at someone, then go to SCARZ, Doomworld, or just about anywhere else because almost all message boards are filled with 3 year olds who want to get away with spewing 4 letter words without they're parents finding out. This message board is filled with intelligent members who actually have something to say. You used to be one of those intelligent members. I've said my peace.

[Meira-Bates]

I don't really know what to say since I've never really met Rez, but I have to say some of his posts were quite enjoyable...I see why he's been warned as well, however.

On the whole anime thing, I fully agree with you guys. Though I like anime, I'm far on the other side of the fence of most anime fans. I like anime because I grew up with it when I lived in Japan. If other people don't like it, big deal as long as they don't bash me for liking it. A majority of other anime fans really manage to piss me off. I mean, hell, some of them think that just because they have some ungodly knowledge of anime that it makes them unfoulable on knowledge of Japan. You've got no idea how many times I've ended up in stupid arguments cause some anime fan tried to say I was wrong about some random fact dealing with Japan. This is when I was THERE to witness it and be a part of it and they're off reading some freakin' manga and basing thier knowledge of that. I'm sorry but I think it's NO question who's got the upper hand in that catagorey....

[Raven]

look, people, if you can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're" by the time you hit 7th grade, you have problems.



oh man im srewed!

any way bye, for some weird reason I actulley had respect for rez....? and still kinda do.

Bye. (Never talked to you much anyways. :lol: )

[Eye of Sarnath]

Without you, this forum's intelligence goes down about 30%.There isn't much more to say.

Have fun wherever you go. And yes you go on about stuff that people say that sucks like the star trek stuff so you have no room to talk. BUH BYE

Finally! I've been waiting for the day youleave since I first signed up here. No offense, but you're probably the most annoying member I've seen on any message board. You were always so ****ing critical, you always acted like you were right no matter what. Thank god you *think* you're an adult. If you were really an adult you wouldn't care about some people on a message board. Grow up.

[Dinny]

Well Im not really sad to see you go as I lost all respect I may have had for you when you made those comments about the Brits. But still, good luck with whatever you do.

[Barkworm]

Although I agreed with you in some stuff I always hated your way of telling your opinion by making everyone else look like a fool. When you grow up you might realize that you're definitely not always right and that "grown ups" don't give a damn about stuff that happens in the internet... :roll:

But at least they would be here the next day.

[MTN889]

Well actually i do sort of resent him for his hate of christians, i am catholic.

[One Radical Dude]

Well actually i do sort of resent him for his hate of christians, i am catholic.

My opinion of him has changed.

[Bowser_Koopa]

Well actually i do sort of resent him for his hate of christians, i am catholic.

My opinion of him has changed.

just when i started to just dislike him, i start to hate him -_-

[One Radical Dude]

Yeah, no doubt.

[The Defibrillator]

I used to like him, until he made some GHEIGH post bashing something totally stupid. Then he was fine for a while......and I liked him again....until he did it again.....After the "I don't answer PMs" thread I felt sorry for him, but now I dislike him quite majorly. I don't recall a time where he said he hated christians though. If I saw a post like that, then, I would, fo' sho' lose all respect I ever had for the dude. I'm not even sure I ever had any. I think I was far too nice to the fellow.

[Voltron]

Wow, you guys go straight for the throat...

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Not attacking Christians might have been the only thing Reznorite never jumped on.

Good thing, too, since I'm a Christian and would have been offended.

[The Defibrillator]

Wow, you guys go straight for the throat...

Ehh, well, now that he's gone we're having a mature intellectual discussion about him. I would've been afraid he'd hunt me down, and kill me, if he were still here.

[Bowser_Koopa]

and the i feel childish topic would have been possible with him :lol:

[Meira-Bates]

I don't hate Christians...I hate what they do...now a TRUE christian, I've got no problem with. I know it's being judgemental...but I'm not a christian anymore either...X.x Mostly cause I was tired of being tossed between denominations and hearing them dis away at thier own fellow christians. I was raised baptist and had to go to church of god...it was so freakin' misserable there because it seemed like every time I turned around someone was talking bad about the baptists. -.- And I was a christian up till around 2 or 3 years ago, so I know my stuff...I just got fed up with it, cause there are so few christians that seem to practice what they preach, but I'm VERY sure that that goes for all religions, which is why I'm avoiding being in a religion all I can lately...now no more talk of religion for me because religion usualy =s FLAMING.

[Voltron]

Wow, you guys go straight for the throat...

Ehh, well, now that he's gone we're having a mature intellectual discussion about him. I would've been afraid he'd hunt me down, and kill me, if he were still here.

Its amazing how many of you feel this way but would never stand up to him. HAHAHAHA

[The Defibrillator]

...it was so freakin' misserable there because it seemed like every time I turned around someone was talking bad about the baptists.

HAHA! Try being mormon. Every time i turn around somebody's like "how many wives do you have?" or "Where are your horns?"

I have a baptist friend and he said that at church, his minister/priest/whatever told them to stay away from mormons, because we will "devour their souls" or something stupid like that. Yeah, rumors suck.

[Eye of Sarnath]

I think religion is a bad idea.

[Dinny]

The Greek Orthodox church rocks, you dont go every week, you can leave 1/2 way through the service and theres no laws saying that the priest cant get married or anything.

Its so relaxed, I remember once, when the priest and choir were singing, the cleaner came in and started hoovering :lol:

[Reznorite420]

Wow, you guys go straight for the throat...

Ehh, well, now that he's gone we're having a mature intellectual discussion about him. I would've been afraid he'd hunt me down, and kill me, if he were still here.You...ALL...fail...it...

Man, this isn't at all what I hoped for. Instead of the desired, "Holy crap, I didn't know he was THAT serious", I get crapped on, metaphorically.

Well, since I haven't been banned yet, here goes: [to be edited later once I get around to it]

[Mars-Chan]

*shakes her head* Rez....Rez...Rez....
What ARE we going to do with you?

Look you guys....apparently you are forgetting the golden rule:
"DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU"!!!

I am a Christan and sometimes you get mad about stuff like that. But, come on, can't you at least cut the guy a LITTLE slack?!
Sheesh.....*shakes head again*

[Reznorite420]

EDIT: Well, since I can't delete posts more than a few minutes old...

[Mars-Chan]

Well, if you ever want to mail me, check my YAHOO messanger....I *THINK* you can send me messages.

And now to send you off with a 21 crow salute!
*twenty-one crows fly in the air, one landing on Mars' shoulder, and caw at the same time*
:lol:

[Storm Wolf]

Hey I was just here for the beer! :lol: :lol:

No but seriously…Rez is really an intelligent guy! We all have are flaws….no one here is perfect. I have no problems with Rez, he has never offended me in any way…that’s probably because I take anything he says that’s potentially offending and take it as a joke….not to be callous but some of you guys lighten up…take things easy….

[Mars-Chan]

:nod: See? Me and TP agree. :D

[Reznorite420]

No offense, but you're probably the most annoying member I've seen on any message board."No offense", ey? That sounds like a really dumb thing to say before you bash someone. "Oh, no offense, but I hate you!" Like I said, people have no logic today...You were always so f*** critical, you always acted like you were right no matter what.Critical? If that's what you want to call someone like me, fine. God forbid that I should:

- Feel compelled to speak what I think while trying to obey the rules (my attack on Relay was a mistake, and I admit that)

- Give a damn not only about how my own posts are understandable on here but also for others. I wasn't trying to be an ass during my brief "using proper English" rant, I was saying that for everyone's own good. Like I said, you won't make it in life if you can't even master simple scholastic skills. There's a 13 year education requirement for all natural-born citizens for a reason, you know.Thank god you *think* you're an adult. If you were really an adult you wouldn't care about some people on a message board. Grow up.Look who's talking, buster! If I had a dollar for every, "We'll miss you!" or "Come back soon!" or "Have a safe trip!" post that you've made in response to another member of this forum leaving or taking a vaction etc, I might have enough to pay off my cell phone debt.

BTW, I don't recall implying that I "thought I was an adult". I don't "think" I'm an adult...legally, I am one. Mentally...many people I've known would say I've mentally been an adult since I was about 14.

Oh, and one last thing...could it be that the reason I think I'm right most of the time is because I AM???? That's not being self-centered, that's stating the facts! If you can quote evidence against me otherwise, I'd love to see it. Otherwise, don't open your mouth if you have no idea what you're talking about.

3 last things:

DarthRaph: I don't see why you think this was directed at one specific mod or admin, I was just venting my frustration publically for all to hear.

Krang: If I got a warning for openly insulting Realy ("Welcome to the 21st century!"), then it should be fair to give cqb a warning for attacking me as well ("Thank God you're leaving! I didn't like you, blah blah blah...").

Everyone else: Waiting until I leave and make a thread like this to show your "hatred" for me openly as you did only shows how much of a coward you are. As some of you oh-so-eloquently put it, it's just a forum; it's not as if I'm going to stalk you or bother you on an AIM session just because you don't like me. I sure as hell have a lot more maturity than that, despite what you may think.

Now please, someone lock this thread so no one else can reply to it so I don't have to come back and keep posting. I'm trying to keep my word, damn it!
