I do want to stay. More than anything. I'm unsure where to go with my work though. I have a few large projects I've been picking away at.

I should probably at least try to give him something worth downvoting though? I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is in these cases.

Don't give people a sense of influence and power. Don't give them attention. That's what they want.

I know this. I was only joking. This whole situation is just the result of me not doing anything wrong. Honesty got me here. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, I've been sucked into that. Ignoring seems to be the best approach.

One must always maintain proper etiquette!!

A famous man once shouted from the top of a bare lady he was straddling standards must be maintained!!

Man. Have you been watching 70's porn again?

Is there anything other than 70's porn?

80's midget porn. Those gals got lost in their own bush.

Had kind of a same comment in mind as meesterboom's first comment above.
For me and I'm sure lots of others here, it would be a major loss if you left.
Besides the great writing, art and sense of humour I (we) very much appreciate your sincerity, outspokenness and sense of righteousness.

And also we must never forget, when you cut it off the stump may never HEAL!!!

You do realize, @smasssh, these kind words might go to my head, and then the folks who assume I'm full of myself will actually have a reason to treat me like shit.

So I'll just say, thanks. The post says I want to continue but don't want to be forced to fail. Carrying on is easy. Being pushed around doesn't sit well with me. I don't want to be pretending I'm not becoming angry and frustrated daily. Some folks who cause those feelings to occur can't see why that might be a problem, but I did point out how bullies are wired and most likely think what they're doing is fine. This fucking world...
