Final Words

[LibertyCzar]

Attention All:

If you’ve noticed, I’ve not been around much lately, nor have I posted much. Well, I’ve thought about it, and I made the decision this evening, on Wednesday, July 11, 2007. I have put on an optimistic front, but the thing is, I know the truth, and I can no longer pretend that everything is just peachy.

I looked at what has occurred, and what will probably happen in the future on this forum. The fact of the matter is, I did not join this forum, nor will I continue to post, only to experience what can only be described as the feeling that I am talking to a wall. No matter what thread I start in the future, no matter how much time I devote to any subject, I will receive no response, no one will help when I ask for it, and my thread will just get shoved down in a very rapid hurry so that it vanishes from the front page as soon as possible.

Currently, the threads I start get practically no response, and sink away. I do notice these things. I started a couple of polls, and all that was posted in response was variations of indicating out what I did wrong, much to the point of open hostility. I had a reason for asking about students, but no one was interested in helping to keep the poll toward the top, even after I asked for help more than once. There are more than a thousand active members, and I would think I could get at least a couple hundred to respond to a poll. But perhaps I am poison on this forum. I’m a little old fashioned, I guess. See, I think that if I go to the trouble of starting a discussion, someone will actually respond. But that has not proven to be the case. In a couple short weeks, I’ve become something of an outcast.

So the hint has been taken. I have a lot of ideas that I like to share, but I am not welcome here, and my ideas are not wanted. I don't know what I did, except change my avatar and signature a couple times. So this is goodbye. I am not going to waste my time posting, knowing that my posts are not welcome. I’ve wasted enough time on this forum, only to experience a collective rejection. If this forum was a woman, and I continued to stick around after receiving the cold shoulder that I have received from this forum, I could be accused of stalking. Well, as with a woman, I will acknowledge this rejection and respond appropriately.

I'm done. This “LibertyCzar” account can be deleted immediately. I'll still vote for Ron Paul. It’s not his fault how some supporters treat other supporters. But since Ron Paul supporters, in general, have chosen to shun me, I won't bother interacting with them. I can see my participation is not welcome.

Once I log off in a moment, you won’t hear from me again. That is all. Goodbye.

Uhm that's how forums usually go. Your polls do receive attention. These boards move fast and some threads may get lost. Not everyone will look at all the threads either.

 

[Kuldebar]

So we all get collectively assigned blame for this?

Well, I for one never rejected you and have no idea what you are going on about.

Hey, are we here for attention or to discuss ideas? I put alot of threads up that get shot down too. It's not so much an issue of people ignoring you or anything like that, it is mostly due to what time you post your thread, what the title, etc. Think white space, all those formal design elements... consider how it will look on the page with all the others....

oh yea, and another hint for you:

 

[constituent]

bump.

Stick with it, some things grow and some things don't... The one good conversation in a blue moon is worth it to me...

I hope I've helped.

I've also started many threads which get "no love". People talk about what interest them, I guess our threads aren't very interesting

 

[jondisx]

dude, emo

 

[JoshLowry]

No one has chosen to shun you, some threads just don't get love and this place can move pretty fast.

I hope you will reconsider but if you decide to move on then I wish you the best of luck. Keep spreading the good word!

dude, emo

Seconded. Drama llama followed us home again.

 

[drinkbleach]

The "Are you a student" thread got 80 votes.

Seriously. I hate when people pull this crap on internet forums. I'm don't mean to sound harsh (actually, I guess I do), but dude... stop being a pussy. Either slug it out like the rest of us or just stop posting. No "goodbye cruel forum" suicide note.

Listen up bub, I just checked every topic you started and many of them have 2 to 3 pages of responses (and not all of them are you bumping them either) and the ones that don't are polls for which you give no explanation as to why you want to know. "I've got an idea, but I wanna take a poll first" doesn't cut it. Tell us your idea or why you want to know then maybe people will be more inclined to answer. And what's this "private poll" business? Does that mean you are a private individual who just wants to know or that only select people can participate.

And if you think you got no love, take a look at the virtual lambasting I got on my very first post just for asking what I thought was a perfectly reasonable question.

Not everyone is on here all day at the same time. Stuff gets missed when topics are started as fast as they are here. I'll be gone for a couple of hours and a topic that was once at the top of the first page will be on the 3rd page.

Christ, I need a drink now and it's only noon. Thanks a whole hell of a lot!

 

[DjLoTi]

I started a thread about a really hot Russian DJ maybe doing a show in a 'Ron Paul meetup' party-like thing. No one really was feeling it.. but *I* thought it was *REALLY* cool. man... you can't win'em all... I come here just to chill.. if you come here to be/feel important or something.. idk man... I'm sorry. lol. Ron Paul is the only important person on these forums.. lol

 

[torchbearer]

a drink sounds good. 35 minutes and its vodka time for me.

 

[Tsoman]

Forums are like the free market.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Geez, LibertyCzar, I didn't see your request to keep bumping up the Student poll, or I would have done so. I didn't visit it, because I'm way past being a student. The only poll of yours I didn't vote in was the latest one on ethnicity, because I couldn't understand where I fit.

Personally, I thought the vast majority of people gave you a lot of deference. I liked your posts. Sorry you couldn't sit around long enough to tell people how you felt, before you decided to just give up and shut it all down.

 

[pcosmar]

Maybe I am missing something, It is possible, as I am new to the internet.
I thought forums were a place to share ideas, gather information,and debate views.
I did not realize that Ego Stroking was required. Have I missed something?
I don't say a lot here, but if I have missed a opportunity to stroke anyones Ego, I am sorry.
Please consider this a Forum wide apology. I don' want to add it to every thread.

 

[LibertyBelle]

removed by moi. Hope all things are well.

I think that we should probably be a little more compassionate here. We shouldn't insult people when they are obviously struggling with depression and self-esteem problems. LibertyCzar was a very active participant on this forum, and he was not shunned. So I think that there is probably something else going on, and we should try to be as kind and understanding as possible.
My little sister has bipolar disorder, so I get concerned when people do things like this. I hope he is going to be all right.

Hey LC - I think this forum has been growing as fast as the campaign. Threads go down quickly now. And posts get buried. So I wouldn't take it personally, and you don't have to make any final decision on anything anyway. I hope you stick around, or come back after a break. RP2008! We need your help too!
