Sticks and stones
Can break my bones
But words...
You have to learn to let it go. Flare up, but don't flame out.

This is your first post in four months who has been flaming you on the art forums ?
If this is about what I think it is, life is too short for this kind of vitriol over forum stuff.

Slag Heap: Why you hurt Guardian!? Guardian no hurt you!
Yeah, this post is nothing more than me putting into words what I have already done which is left the forum. Many reasons have gone into why and not all of them have been good. I have checked in and to be totally honest, this forum hasn't been completely positive experience for some.
Yes my new career has taken off and I'm grateful for that. I just wish there were more reasons to keep me here than there are to push me away.
I don't brown-nose those with Mad-Skills, I can't afford to spend $1000s to make artists like me and my skills aren't at the level that art-whores are beating down my door but that is the feeling of what I had to be when I spent time here.
From my perspective it was all about spending my CoH time here and burning my money when I could be IN the game having fun. Because of some individuals, I have felt the sting of their knives in my back, I have felt the burn from their flamings and I have seen others get burn just as badly if not worse.
Now it was not all bad because I did meet a few good people. I appreciate those few good people because they never asked for anything and they had the patience to put up with the fact that I'm not of the 20 something crowd.
So for those who hated me, they can toss back a few in celebration. Personally I don't celebrate in losing someone. I think it is a bad thing to do so. In true style that is all my own, I go out not like a silent lamb, but as a fighter taking one last swing before going down for the count.
I have a feeling that this post will get flamed, but I won't be here to read them. Those who read this and don't flame it, be wary of those who do flame this because those people are not thinking about how their attacks affect others.
