Just got back from my home state of NJ and saw i had some conversations i didn't know i had , only one out of four came through and holy Christ i can't even count the alerts i got and didn't know about .
Why logging in for the first time in about a week , Rogers post caught my eye because i know Roger and he's a good man , so i checked it out and it was locked thus my post here.
Let me say i am quite taken aback by many of the responses , especially from some mods , members not so much as they are quite predictable , so when i saw a lot of Roger bashing i just had to shake my head and laugh.
Roger was a very nice guy , always talked highly of VU when i have seen him elsewhere and while i thought leaving over a single post that wasn't even generated from VU didn't make much sense, apparently it did to him and so it should be respected .
Why anyone would mention he being a coward and the other negatives is beyond clueless and i refuse to believe anybody is not bright enough to already know this and refrain from posting such garbage .
I have found that posting the reasons why someone is leaving is very much appreciated actually , i used to hate when i saw somebody who i enjoyed corresponding with and then they just disappear .
I would usually wonder what the hell happened , while it's true many don't care and forums always go through this and will always continue to go through it , i am glad i know why he left but thats just me.
Why anyone thinks he is looking for sympathy is another baffling question , didn't appear that way to me , stated his reasoning and that was it .
I will say that the no belittling rule mentioned so many times in his thread should be abolished because there is NO question that the rule is never followed by anybody .
Belittling is not right but it happens quite often actually . If someone belittles you then find out where the fucker lives and take his entire family out (preferably while he watches) or hit him back twice as hard. This is standard protocol going way back to the nursery school days and should be utilized by everybody imo .
There's always a simple and reasonable solution , just got to look for it. Now when a Mod contacts you and says you can't fight back then we got a problem.
These days i much prefer to just send out two separate F.U 's in the aggressors direction , one for their flapping trap and one to shove as far up their ass as their arm length will allow and be done with it.
Sometimes people who leave are just trying to be friendly and feel they owe the members they have had good relationships with an explanation, others think you should just leave and nothing wrong with that either .
Some are so clueless and have everything so mixed up that it's a good idea to tell the entire story for those that actually do give a damn and their are always some of those .
Not the bits and pieces of bullshit that others who are in their "cool clic" who also happen to have the IQ equivalent of a "turnip" tell everybody.
The whole Roger leaving story has turned into a monumental mess where nobody seems to get it .In my instance i stated that forums start to bore me after awhile (which is 100% true) and i usually post less and less.
The biggest reason, and i have to be honest here, is that over time i started to see the true colors of some people who i used to like and it really turned me off and i really started to lose interest with the forum . Of course it wasn't one person or a single post , i'm sure Roger had his reasons as well .
If it is really one post so be it but i doubt it , he has not posted much either as time went on and maybe it was time for him to check out who knows , fact is nobody knows for sure .
Not everyone has class though , give Roger a break folks , he really is a good guy and has been through a lot of very serious issues, mental health issues , general health issues etc...
Yes, there is a bunch who don't care , thats a given (especially with the younger generation) but there is also a ton who do so this is for them.
He is an older gentlemen and not some wise ass punk , being overly cruel just reveals so much about who the person posting the comments is really about and a lot of it's nonsense , inaccurate and classless.
I am just shocked by who is actually posting a lot of it . Damn shame,
Just my opinion and i am glad i told it , none of the above is meant as a joke , i hope some people find it enlightening but i feel i had to because Roger is a class guy.
