This is a rant about dramatic Goodbyes.
Don't tell me you hate all the drama here but you turn around and create more! If you don't like the forum and want to leave then Leave! Don't post a three paragraph long "Good bye" letter.
If you don't like how one person treat's you then don't post on there threads. If you don't like the drama then don't create more. If you don't like rudeness then ignore them. Don't go on to say you were here to learn and teach if you make posts like "Good bye" or "it was good but"
You know what I do? I rant like I am right now. If you want to leave then leave. Don't go and make a post about it to get people worked up. If you just stop posting no one will notice. If you were really popular here then after a few weeks some one might ask the question but for the most part no one will care.
Listen. I am not trying to be mean here. I am not putting blame on any particular person. But I feel this needs to be said. If you made an account on ANY forum expect to be criticized a little. Its a forum it means we can speak our opinions.

Agreed.
Sadly, it worked, though. She did get a few people to beg her to stay.

We are not talking about any particular person. Just every one who makes posts or plans on making posts like that.

Ya know, it doesn't make them feel wanted if you go and say "I hate dramatic goodbyes". It's like saying I don't give a crap how you feel. Sadly too many people say the wrong things in these cases. I tried contacting her but her account has apparently been deleted or something. There is no info anymore.

Lol - this place has a revolving door. So many come and go - it's hard to keep track. Some people just take things way to personally -

You don't have to make them feel wanted but you certainly don't have to make them feel worse. Perhaps some day you'll feel the same way and wish someone would ask you to stay? Or would you rather everyone have a great time basically making fun of you? And Alden. Too funny. Is that a promise or a threat?quote:

I'm glad someone is standing up for her. This place is just like high school, if you're different in any way you're absolutely nothing. Thank you omis n kais gma, stuff like this gives me hope in humanity.

"I'm glad someone is standing up for her. This place is just like high school, if you're different in any way you're absolutely nothing. Thank you omis n kais gma, stuff like this gives me hope in humanity."
If your hopes for humanity are based off the way strangers behave on a forum, then you need to get out more. I have a sneaky suspicion that this may hit close to home for you since not too long ago, you were guilty of a dramatic exit also. You say people on this forum behave like high schoolers, then what does it say about people who throw temper tantrums and threaten to leave the forum every time something doesn’t go their way.
I’ve had my share of issues on this forum with certain people, but this is a forum. I am allowed to speak my opinion just like them. If I don’t like what they say or how they say it, I have the right to tell them. And guess what, they have the right to disagree with me and tell me about it. I’ve had several people say some nasty things to me, but I don’t threaten to leave because of it. The reality is, if you leave this site, no one would care. Being on this site doesn’t benefit anyone but you. YOU’RE the one that needs help with your gliders, not them. If you leave because you’re throwing a tantrum, it only hurts you and your gliders.

Actually its based off of people ACTUALLY doing the right thing and not following everyone else. Where I come from, its not every day people are nice. So yeah, I am happy to see someone standing up for her. Did this hit home? No because I'm still never on here. Maybe once in a blue moon. Do I care to come on here? Nope ill gladly leave again and again.

I think if everyone treated others the way they would want to be treated, there would be a lot less drama.
It's important to keep in mind that not everyone is the same. Some people like to be babied, others have more of a "tell it like it is" approach. Just because someone is different from you doesn't mean they need your judgement imposed on them.
Yes, you should be able to speak your mind, but perhaps with a little more tact and in a less hurtful manner.

When someone puts a post like this out there, it is going to be judged...and they put it up just for that purpose. I'm sure Baby.girl knew what she was getting into after posting this thread....She could have just stopped posting and the drama would have ceased to exist!

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I do not think people post "Goodbye" posts because they are looking for judgement. If anything, judgement passed on them is the reason they are leaving.
I think people post "Goodbye" posts to let the forum members know that they've been hurt by things other people have said to them or the general feedback they are getting. It is their final plea for acceptance from a community that they feel has rejected them.
I'm not condoning this behavior, I'm just trying to walk a mile in their shoes.
