Enough is enough. I quit.

I am sick and tired of playing this internet persona. I came here to play Diablo II, but just to keep up with the evolution and maturation of this forum I've had to adopt a pseudo-intellectual demeanor. I've had to learn about science, I've had to curtail my grammatical mistakes, I've had to argue against people I don't necessarily disagree with in the first place just to maintain my persona. Due to the pseudo-intellectual persona I undertook, I've had to espouse atheistic beliefs which I don't adhere to. Playing this persona has caused many ethical dilemmas for me. I am sick of this stress. The only way I can think of to get rid of that stress is to get away from this place.

That said, I quit. Good riddance.

That's unfortunate; I enjoy reading your threads. What is it about socities and communities that prevents us from suddenly taking a change on stances? Trepidation from variability?

If you change your mind, we'll still be around.

“What people call insincerity is simply a method by which we can multiply our personalities.”

That's a damn shame. Undoubtedly one of my favorite posters here.

I'm hoping you just adopt a more genuine stance reflecting your true feelings and stick around.

I can't imagine he's serious? I mean, who tries to conform to an internet community, then has this drastic of an effect in real life? There are definitely deeper seeded problems if you posting here over the years has caused you stress...

Hopefully it's just a joke, because MJ was a good, long-term poster here at Teh Zeloran.

This really hit home for me. Undoubtedly, you're right. The internet facade is certainly tiring, and I don't even have the time to spend on it anymore. Playing a "character" was fun when I was 15, but now it seems trite... I'm out.

lolwut

Heh, that's why I gave it up after about a year.
Unless you're really D3V behind that mask, I doubt anyone cares; there's no reason to leave over it.

Hmmm...

Yay for my post getting deleted!

-Sigh-

I guess the jig is up, isn't it? I too am tired of pretending. It's time you all knew the truth...the real truth. I too have been playing a character. I have been feigning this gay furry bit in hopes of entertaining people I don't even know, just to boost my confidence. In reality I am thirty-three years of age and I have been happily married to my wife, Stacy, for seven years. I now must make my leave.

By the way, MJ, your April Fool's is better 'n any I could do.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I'll pray that nothing happens to you in light of these recent events.

Don't worry, we'll just clone them and insert the appropriate mental information with MemLink. Mjordan2nd posted the solution last year.

you're leaving? well, i can't say goodridance in any case, regardless how bad you bashed me, i still find it sad you're leaving :P

Well, for those that haven't got it yet, April Fools!

Yeah, that was a pretty entertaining April Fool's circle-jerk you guys had going there.

You mean you lied about leaving?

I must admit, it was really funny to read all the things about how you guys were so sad. It was just way out there. April 1. Someone who loves it here says they are going to leave. I can't believe you guys fell for that!

You racist bastard.
