I'm not leaving; yet.
But several people I've really grown to like in the last few days have.
Elliot has said that he sees no reason to ban anyone, and is genuinely shocked to see people leaving.

But there is one thing more than any other that can undercut the atmosphere here, hurt the boardies and damage Chaos as a whole: that thing is genuine malice.
Yes, that is clearly not genuine malice. This is just criticism. This is going to help them write better, and not hurt feelings at all.
Again, this is not spiteful at all.
Yes, none of those are looking down at people, or being mean-spirited at all. I can see why you are confused that people dislike you.
But maybe this is all a new thing, that you're in a bad mood right now, and like to take it out on people. Let's go back to 3 years ago, Larian Forums. Why look, here you are, posting helpful things!
Feel like a bigger boy now, dearie? *pinches your cheek* There, there, run along now. I'll resist the temptation to use an anime-style emotion.
Dearie, dearie me. I'm so chastised, I'd like to hang my head and kneel in repentance in the face of your... what, ancient wisdom? Or something. Hur hur.
My favorite That's weird! I thought that you had said in the Harry Potter thread that Amazon meant nothing =/ Weird!
I think Kiya herself, one of the best people to ever go to the Divine Divinity forums, said it best.
That's very odd. It seems in 3 years you haven't changed a bit. The fact that you have already made 2 members who have been here for years leave, is bad. But when I look back at your past, I see you've never changed. You're still the loud mouthed [Censored] with an attitude you've always been. You argue that you have gone through your 'lolz im unique111' phase, but I doubt that. You think you are so smart, but does that make it okay that you have no friends? ( And no, I have no proof you have no friends)
LaFille asked me to remove a post of mine directed at you once, and I did because she's a very good friend, and very nice. I hope that I won't be asked to remove this one, though, since I don't see it happening.
I don't know why you are the way you are, but I do know that you are a hateful, angry little [Censored].
Elliot, grow some balls please. You banned Misty for the reasons you are not banning winterfox. Instead of even chastising her at all, you tell me and Peter to leave her alone. I am quite shocked. I know you were one of the only people to like her on Larian, even though I don't know why.
I don't want to leave these forums, and I know SPS and Terror didn't either. You've let them leave, when all you need to do is to ban winterfox. Normally I'd say warn her, but I know that won't change anything. She's already been warned, and it didn't do any good.
And yes, this is a message to winterfox: thank you for your opinion, but kindly shut the [Censored] up. Thanks.
Sorry for the long read, I really don't want to leave here. I don't post much, but I've been going here alot more often. God knows I've got nothing better to do at my dads house then go on forums. I really like you guys and would hate to leave. But I'm already missing SPS and Terror. Do the right thing.

Verse
Why do you
call this poetry?
Poetry isn't just prose
spaced weirdly, indented--
at random. Chopped into
uneven pointless lines.
Free verse
is a shoddy excuse
for people to
churn out
what they claim
to be poetry--
a lazy way out
because you have no clue
about rhyme or rhythm
or form. Unable
to string real stanzas
together to form
patterns.
Keep your hands off
free verse until
you know how
to make language flow
into lyrics and paint
with words. In other
word, learn the rules
before trying to
break them.
This is not poetry.
Go back and read
some Milton, or
Swinburne;
retake English 101.

Shut the hell up and go do something interesting. And grow up, you little brats.
Again, this is not spiteful at all.
both cute and sad at the same time. And amusing.
Yes, dear, whatever you say. *pats*
You're a bad debater! Your online words are no longer to be taken seriously by anyone! Hah! Feel ashamed. Feel debased. Cry into your pillow at night.
It's just that tragic, I tell you.

You have all the persuasive power of a very moldy, very stale bread. I’ll try you again when I’m starving and there’s really no food within reasonable proximity.
My favorite
What, you haven't seen the reviews at Amazon.com? Tsk.
I think Kiya herself, one of the best people to ever go to the Divine Divinity forums, said it best.
I [Censored] at you, because you pick on people, who can't defend themselves, regardless of topic. And in this thread, you used your usual predictable way again to use language and critic as a tool to cut down creativity and imagination. Letting aside the way that you prefer to attack instead of using constructive language, you dumb down literature to cold mathematics: formalism, style rules, grammar, spelling are the axioms for good writing.
I disagree here strongly. I doubt you have ANY idea how to write or even determine what writing is about. So far, so good - you're free to have your opinion. What I promised you, is a promise I intend to keep: to speak up - regardless of you liking it or not.
You can't follow this way, because you don't want to. You choose to remain on your standpoint - ok for me, no loss. Stay on your formalism side, keep this illusion - but I will continue to speak up. For you?
Nope, closed ears are a waste of time and energy (a Carebear has to care for, in order to care about and bother - you don't fit in either category in my case) - I speak up for those, who might be discouraged - who see formalism as a gag, a tyrant and secretly try to throw away their work. Or those, who sit in front of their work and can't carry on. Creativity, imagination comes first - this is training. Developing a cliche char as a start is no crime and simply a basis to start from (maybe with aid from others). This is the way to write - using the cliche char as a frame to step out and develop own individualistic approaches - and then, afterwards, prune the story into a formalistic manner (not as a rule, simply as a gentle way of forming). Like or or not, has no impact on me.
