The Dink Network

The attitude people at this site have taken towards me has been, on the whole, very hurtful. Some of you guys are really cool people, and I wish I could continue to communicate with you, but the actions of certain individuals have made it highly likely that I will have to leave. I remember when this site used to be cool... well, it still is cool, I guess, but the actions of certain individuals have made it not be cool. In the old days, I could post without having an argument start over my every word, but that's not true anymore. I wish I could stay here, but I probably can't. So, good-bye (maybe).

BTW, Tal, I'm wondering how you could betray me like this. In the old days, we were tight, but then these new people come along and you take their side against me? I'm really hurt by what's happened between us, but until you promise not to talk to redink anymore and apologize for those photoshops you posted with my head on a donkey, I won't post here.

Hm.

1) I don't know what happened, but goodbye.
2) Might you want to tell what happened?
3) Tal's cool and doesn't seem the betraying type?
3) I don't know how to play drama queen.

This is exactly the kind of post I'm talking about. My every move is questioned on this forum; I live under constant surveillance. I think I'm going to call up the ISPs of certain people and report the constant abuse they have subjected me to... Carrie...

well i'm a bit confused of what's goin on too. But from what little information that was provided, it seems you are taking things a little too personal.

I don't know what sides were taken and when by your old buddy Tal, but i would be led to believe that he was simply taking the correct 'side' in his opinion. Sometimes that means not being on the same 'side' of a friend. Sure it feels like betrayal, i've been in that boat before, but that's life for ya people dont always agree on everything.

As far as the pictures go, i never saw them, but i think the only thing you should really be asking for is an apology from both tal and redink... and not to ask tal to promise not to speak to redink again. Because if that is your demand, i'm sure it will probably never happen.

But anywho, goodbye and goodluck in your future adventures

P.S. This post is not indicative of harassment or surveilance, simply my opinion on the matter of which i know very little about

You're blackmailing us! You're hardly back from your last leave...

Well if people can't ask what happened without being accused of 'questioning [your] every word'... bugger off! (Although going from the subject of this thread... are we perhaps being a little melodramatic just for kicks?)

Everyone, please read this before replying to this post.

That's right, dragon. After all, I'd rather have a friend take the side that they think is right than my side simply because they are a friend. Nor would I take a friend's side simply because they are a friend.

Again you have it right. After all we all have the right to talk to whoever we want to and no one has the right to us who to talk to. Besides, Tal and redink are both staff here. They have to talk in order to get that done properly. Also, redink is supposed to be handing the site over to Tal after doing G9. How is he supposed to do that if Tal won't talk to him?\

Um... I'd wager that MiloBones is not being serious in this thread.

I had rather hoped more people would play along . Maybe if I had invented a better story...

Pretty good joke... I especially liked the part about Carrie... Almost ironic.

Well, from what I think I recall, it wouldn't be the first time a little prank like this has been ended by a certain Dinker before.

MiloBones, you are just being overly sensitive now. And people have thought that of me! Even I would not of got that offended by DaVince's comment. It wasn't abuse. And unless people were flaming you in PMs (and thus breaking the rules of this site) no one has been abusing you, which means you have no grounds to call their ISPs about them abusing you.

Please, MiloBones, I implore you for your sake, think about your behavior and it's effect of you. People don't like it when others are so overly sensitive about their actions and comments. They sometimes even take it in a similar way to an insult. I've learnt this the hard way. It makes people less willing to deal with you. And that's the last thing anyone wants. Humans are social creatures. We like dealing with others of our kind more so than most other creatures. That's why I ask you to think about your behaviour and it's effect on you. Because it makes people less willing to deal with you. And I'm sure that's not what you want. I say this not to criticise you, but in an attempt to help you. You see, I feel obliged to pass on any wisdom I learn to others. And so I'm trying to do that now.

MiloBones, I don't think it was funny. Besides you sounded so serious. You also spoke of a very serious issue. Issues that serious should not be part of a joke in my opinion. Nor are they funny on my opinion.

At least he didn't die in a car accident.

//Now I've done it, just watch.

Um, what? I'm confused. Why would you say that? Is it some sort of attempt at humour?

Oh, and sorry people that I've been a little bad at spotting jokes lately. I've got the stress of having my exams I just a week and a half, so I'm a bit distracted.

Ya know...I really thought he was serious. Not only, because I figured MiloBones wouldnt lie about something like this, but also that many people here lately have been very uptight though not necessarily in much of a bad way.

I did find his comment on Tal suspicous though.

Nice try it worked on me.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

Inside joke. He's referring to the ol'JVeenhof incident of aught'zero, I think.

Oh. I wouldn't understand it then since I first joined up in 2004. Oh, and thanks, Striker, for clearing that up.

So it was just for kicks after all... That was interesting though Phoenix.

wow i think i almost laughed good try tho.. had me goin

His poor, poor girlfriend. She was so distraught!

What is love? Baby don't hurt me

I could have told ya all that he was joking! It was so obvious!

But, getting back to me. Everyone is SO mean to me, especially
Striker and Tal.Like, they gang up on me and use computer slang
so that I have no idea what's going on! Ohhh, but the meanest one
of all is redink1! Sometimes he doesn't email me for DAYS AND DAYS
and then when he does he never says 'bloop'.A blarg once or twice
but never a bloop.

In my good-bye thread, I wasn't more that 60% serious about it. Besides, all of you know that I was Megaman in the time I was "gone." However, unless someone or something gets me incredibly frustrated, I plan not to leave until I die. So I'm gonna be here for a lonnnnnng time.

Dink...KILLER!

Yeah - I remember checkin the thread when it first appeared, but I couldn't think of anything to be dramatic about sorry, though *heh*

It's actually nice to see a "serious" good-bye.
