    Course Correction

    Regardless of the understandable disbelief of the those reading the following: earlier today I had a dramatic epiphany about what I was doing on this site and in the world around me. I took a good, long look inside and came to the realization that this doesn't do any good for myself or anyone else. What I have done here since the beginning, is to contribute to the sickness and violence in a world approaching extinction of its human inhabitants. I was trying to exorcise my personal demons; to harden myself against all the ugliness in this world; and to sharpen my tools of verbal violence in order to protect my petty little ego. All those things I was feeding myself contributed to actually avoiding the things I was originally running from. All of which ultimately lead to a cycle of self destruction: like all addictions. A wise man once said, "The ego is a closed loop".

    The obvious purpose of this thread, originally, was revenge; revenge from a wounded individual who has felt disenfranchised his entire life. Admittedly, revenge *does* feel good--for a time. But, like all highs it does not last, and the aftermath varies in its severity. But make no mistake, there is ALWAYS aftermath. I need to make amends for this.

    So:

    1, I am extending an apology to everyone on this thread and the entire WF community. Whether one believes the sincerity of this apology is left to every individual here.

    2. I am forgoing any attempts through *any* channel in the pursuit of retribution for what transpired last Monday. Any threats I've made to "Tamar Garish" and "skinofevil" are hereby nullified and void in their substance. In short, I'm letting this go. However, in dropping this matter, I expect all parties involved to drop it as well. I still intend to protect myself and my interests regarding this incident; because forgiving and moving on, is *not* a sign of weakness as long as you can defend yourself from future offenses.

    3. I wish to have this thread taken down by at least 8 am this morning. This allows time for anyone reading to see this final statement. After which, I want this all gone or at least, locked. It contributes absolutely NOTHING good in this world, and only hurts people in the process.

    4. And finally: please close my account here. I no longer wish to take part in any activities in this community.

    I wish you *all* peace, joy, and connection with all that is good and divine in this Universe. Take care.

    "I will fight no more forever"

    Like they weren't all along? :rolleyes:

    Not locking it, not deleting it, not anything-ing it. I'm not locking your account either, just so you can come make unamusing dual #3 when you get a hair across your ass.

    Of course, Lanzman may decide to grant your requests, that's up to him....we all bow to his tyrannical wishes. :hail:

    So, does this mean The Oracle isn't leaving? Because I think follow-through is very important...

    Hey HB, this is a pretty creepifying drawing found somewhere. Would you happen to know anything about it? :lol:

    Ain't that the weirdest damn thing? :innocent: He even put contempt on that notorious Texan's face. Now we surely don't know any contemptuous Texans, do we?

    Oh, and why was Tamar trying to hunt him down in real life? That's kind of uncool.

    I wasn't...I only said I knew who he was to troll him.

    My reputation is such now that no actual work is required to freak out the feeble-minded. :shrug:

    This thread begs so many questions, if only I could type better.

    Who was this person?
    where did these conversations take place?
    why is the skinofevil dual acting as a wf staff member?
    what's up with that picture?
    why are tamar and NOTskinofevil stalking this guy?
    did this guy's insurance cover his hospital stay?

    If you believe he was in the hospital, you are far stupider than I gave you credit for. :lol:

    You assume he's not in a hospital?

    There's only one kind of follow-through that comes to mind when reading this thread.

    Disagreed with his crap, traded barbs for awhile and claimed to know who he was.

    That was it.

    He was just a sensitive flower who loves to shovel shit but can't handle even a spoonful in return. :shrug:

    Bipolar Banana asked for his dual to be KO'd. His main name is still there and waiting to be unlocked if he ever wants to come back.
