This isn't some kind of suicide note, so don't go thinking that. (decided to add that after proofreading, lol)
For a number of years now I have been dealing with depression and PTSD, and more recently, things that border on schizophrenia. With that being said, I hope and trust that you (the reader) would understand if I described myself, at least in part, as being "Very emotional at times".
I have to say, you are a GREAT group of people, and I owe so many of you so much for the things you've done/given/said....anything you've had part in that played a role in bettering the care I gave to my gliders. I don't plan on spending the rest of my days without have some gliders in my life, and I'll always do my best to remember the things I'm taking away from this site.
I'm not going to mention names because, quite frankly, none come to mind.
What does come to mind though is the number of times I've come across the "behavior" or "issue" I take issue with. Even though I can't quantify the occurrences with a plain old set of digits, I can say without fear or hesitation...it feels like "Every time I turn around".
Glider owners are no doubt a passionate breed, but we are not without our faults, myself most Deeeeefinatly included. There really is no "one" to blame...but there seems (to me anyhow) to be this "wolfpack" mentality a lot of times. Someone who just got a glider or who has had numerous gliders for a measurable amount of time says ONE THING out of tune, or when the moment comes along that two and two just don't add up for someone, then the given thread takes on an ugly little life of it's own and snowballs into something that I usually don't even finish reading. One of the perils of the internet I suppose...but one I think that I would be better of without, at least for the time being.
I myself made some mistakes, posted them unknowingly and wound up feeling attacked in following comments...but then again, I'm nuts, right? Lol. I want to stress, I'm NOT placing blame, I know it's surely no different on any other forum anywhere else on the planet where people who are passionate about something get together and "talk". I just don't want to keep subjecting myself to it is all, not now anyhow. Until I'm somehow banned, I'll still be a lurker, but will most likely be simply limiting myself to photo threads and not bothering to read any comments. When that happy day comes that I bring Lilly and Kota back home, this'll be the first place I come to if I find myself concerned, needing advice, or simply needing to satisfy some urge to share a photo or story about how wonderful they are. (No updates on them from me lately, but they are doing great btw! I'm so proud of how loving they are to their new slave!)
Keep fighting the good fight guys/gals!
Peace...I'm out. |

Not to get too off-topic, but THAT is hilarious!
Meg is just ... a real piece of work. She's seriously mentally ill. I could tell you stories that would make your hair curl. She is currently breeding her rescues - which came to her in a seriously debilitated way. She "reinvents" herself every now and then and comes back on here. She's a young High schooler one day. Then a man. Then ... god knows! She's not well.
This is a message I received a while back that makes me think Sloane is Meg.

I just want to know how does anyone know this person breeds rescues? Because she said so? That may have been for shock value. I heard that there are a few people that can get on the lineage database and much up lineage and put their glider with who ever they want. It's a big mess from what I've been told. I feel the way this Sloane person feels as well because Amber is a know it all that looks down on every one. No one really wants to take part in any thread she is part of. |

How sad you talk about Amber not having a life when you are the one who came on FB with a phony name just to mess with her......who's pathetic now? You breed rescue gliders with no lineage and that is not OK! Not one person on any forum will say it is so get down from your high horse & accept the fact. Another persons finances are none of your business either! You got nasty when we didn't agree with you. We were all giving you good advice.

Autotech, this is disappointing for me to see both that your deciding not to post any longer and that our behavior on this forum is volatile enough to push people away but I won't lie I feel it all the time.
The eagerness to disprove others when their is nothing to prove, the personal attacks, the unwillingness to allow owners to have some freedom, my own inability to read over them and not put to much thought into those such comments and my own flaws at contributing too those things myself.
I appreciate and welcome being reminded that our actions over the virtual world can be just as loud and hurtful as they would be in the physical realm. Thank you, stay lurking my friend. |

Hey -
Another thing to (possibly?) keep in mind ... emotions are often fleeting. Just because someone might post something that comes off as rude does not mean that's how they feel about you as a person.
I, for one, have a notoriously crappy memory. You (not you, but the "Royal You") might think I hate you because of something I said. Months from now, we'll chat and you'll say "I thought you hated me! Because of that one post about hoof and mouth disease!" and I'd say "What are you talking about?"
So - if I've ever been an idiot to you - rest assured, I carry no grudges, because I can't remember! Best to you!
As far as mental illness ... It is a Chemical Imbalance. People LOVE to discriminate against 'crazy people' on the forums - but it is the exact same thing as hating someone because they have diabetes! Both are chemical imbalances within the body that can be well-controlled with correct medication. Best to you! |
autotech1011 Posted - Feb 17 2012 : 01:45:43 AM
Sorry folks, hitting "Post Reply" wasn't what I meant to do just yet. :P
Now, in an effort to disregard the negative posts...
I agree with most everything I just read though. I may be mistaken, but I believe there have been a few times when I gave in to temptation and just HAD to add my two cents on the whole issue of the internet and its inherit inability to always convey peoples emotions, important ones like sarcasm, as well as subtle things like tone of voice.
A different day brings with it different emotions, as do different moments themselves. In reading through this, I felt a few different things. I was disappointed to see the very thing I chose to avoid, I felt proud to see that efforts were made to "take it in the other room", love for the kind words and well wishes, empathy and sympathy for those feeling the need to defend themselves (or for whatever they felt)...the list goes on and on. I really do appreciate it all, taking the bad with the good. I (myself) believe that my God has a plan for me, and somehow, someway, it ALL serves a purpose. I in no way mean to offend the group or any one person, Trust me, I have more than just a vague understanding of what it feels like to jump into a heard argument or even worse, in fact, it's proven to be an express lane to trouble most times. I've lost jobs, relationships, even a tooth over my inability to simply bite my tounge.
Anyhow, I'm getting off track it seems. I have so much to thank you all for; info and help, laughs, and smiles that made my face hurt. I appreciate the understanding and acceptance more than you could possibly imagine. It's nobody's fault that currently I'm dealing with such mood swings, but here lately I've come to realize that my "condition" allowed me to develop some real "fellow man" issues as I try to better myself, or just make myself "better" or more "well". It's not that I'm a fragile person, but my mood or state of mind isn't just easily influenced, it often falls like a house of cards at the sight of something unpleasant...like on of those ASPCA commercials playing "Arms of the Angel". I just can't watch 'em. It doesn't just put a big raincloud over my head, it makes sure to keep it there for the rest of the day...all in less time than it takes to fart in church and turn red.
If nothing else, I'm a "Lurker for Life". At least that much is certain. |

There's a difference between responsible breeding and breeding RESCUES which is something you didn't mention about yourself in you post. |

Yes, you'd be the one breeding your gliders with no lineage.. Because driving across the border is enough cause to believe they could never possibly be related.
The owner asked me to remove you because regardless of ALL our efforts to explain what should be common sense to you you kept ignoring our posts and living in your own little fantasy world.. And of course, once I notified you.. oh well, then you got REALLY nasty.
I'm here too sweetie, don't you worry. :D -- Oh, I'm also applying for a USDA license in the next couple month, so yes, everything is recorded, reported and kept track of.. Sorry to burst your bubble though, I'm no mill. I don't even have any joeys available right now, I seldom do, I am a VERY small breeder. -- I also don't breed rescues, like some people. |

I respect your choice in this and I think your brave for sharing your illness. I can see how online boards could complicate things more. Your right, so many here has passion and it comes out in different ways and the colony mentality is something I have seen as well. I know it must be meant in the best ways though.
The internet is just a hard way to communicate. Ironic considering so many with depressive conditions turn to it for support. There was a study done showing happy photos from people on Facebook lead views to value their lives less. Meaning it adds to depression. I have not found this to be true personally though. Like you, the photos really add joy to my days!
Anyway, wishing you wellness!
All the best,

I'm sorry you're leaving over nasty comments! Shorty is right though, some people come off as mean a lot and they're not, a lot of people get really worked up and even though they've never seen, held, or even know the names of your gliders, they want to protect these amazing little animals, this can somtimes come off as a rude comment.
But yes, keep lurking and learning, and come back when you feel ready! |
Shorty_n_ClarasMama Posted - Feb 16 2012 : 04:47:15 PM
I'm sorry you will be leaving. One thing to keep in mind is that you can't "read" a person's true tone through a type written response. Sometimes what someone may feel is meant to be hurtful or nasty was not intended that way at all. And, sometimes it is.
I hope you do not leave completely. Lurk if you need to for a while. However, if you have those underlying issues that make it hard on you to be here, I understand that as well.
Hugs! |

I soooo feel you, even though I don't know you. I have been a member on this forum several times before, over the course of many years, signing up to post a question on the forum or to go in to the chat room and ask my question. I always felt like the responses I got were equivalent to, "What kind of an idiot are you, anyway?" Although I have had my current 'nom de plume' for a year, I just started posting here a week or so ago because I had another burning question. My skin is a little bit thicker this time around and I just shake my head in dismay when I read the "What kind of an idiot are you, anyway?" posts.
I totally understand where you are coming from though. Many years ago I stepped away from internet forums all together, just needing a bit of a respite from it all. |
