Giving up on GAFF

[matrixrefugee]

It seems like every time I open my mouth on there, I end up inserting my foot, or I get completely ignored, or the only response to my posts comes from Tilly, the jerk from the bottom-most pit of Sheol, who decides to reply to me with pot-shots (has any one ever told that -- and I don't use this word lightly -- bitch that a better name for her is Bully, because maybe that's what she is?!), so I'm doing the right thing:

I'm pulling the plug on GAFF, and I'm of a mind to ask the Site Guru to delete my membership on there. I've had it up to here with the conservative-bashing and Christian-bashing and slamming of otherwise good Christian websites on there (Jack Chick doesn't count, but when you see a Christian psychologist whose writings you respect get hauled through the mud, and you're not very good at defending yourself, let alone someone you respect, it kinda makes you feel helpless). And I know there's some people on here who don't think much of George W. Bush, but I still respect the guy, even though I don't agree with him on a few things; note to certain GAFFers: stop treating the people who do respect him as if they were all illiterate rednecks from the deep south.

One good thing about unplugging from GAFF: It frees up time for me to write my own fanfics.

It's okay, baby. Just let go of GAFF so you can come back there if you should ever decide you want to. Otherwise, do other things that you enjoy.

GAFF, like most games, is supposed to be fun. If it's not fun, then you are perfectly justified in putting it down and leaving it.

Hey MR,

Sorry to hear that something you once enjoyed has been ruined for you. I know how that can be. If GAFF has turned into such a slam-fest against Christians and Bush supporters like yourself, then the best thing is probably for you to get the Hell out of Dodge.

And as for Tilly... We've heard about her. Sounds like a real winner alright. And I DO use the B-word lightly, but seeing as it's your journal, I'll mind my mouth.

Anyway, you can always come talk to Neo or me if you need somebody. We're always here. Despite political and religious differences.

You know that we are your friends always.

SG won't delete accounts any more, or I'd have asked him to delete mine.

As opposite as I am from you religiously and politically in many respects, I agree that there is sometimes such a thing as being too liberal or whatever you want to call it. It gets as tiresome as listening to a room full of blow-haired churchgoers yammer on and on against woever they don't like that week. People who claim to be liberal-minded but who don't accept different points of view are no better than the ones they're complaining about.
I stopped going ages ago (mainly because most of the fics on there are from anime, which isn't even close to my fandom), but almost stopped much earlier when someone told me that I had to listen to a poster call me stupid because the poster was an established member and I wasn't. People that petty and with that kind of group mentality aren't worth dealing with. It's a site to let out some steam and have a laugh, not to form a teenage clique.

The established member wouldn't happen to have been Heywood, would it? I can't stand that pretentious, biased cretin, and I can't stand the way so many people on there bow and scrape to him, like he was the site maintainer or something, just because he's been on the board since forever. Seniority doesn't make you omnipotent.

Chainsaw Midget, actually, but who it was isn't the point. The fact that a bunch of people would even act like that when they''re supposed to be reasonable adults is insane. IMO, having more post counts only means that you have more time on your hands to kill, aka you have no life...
