Who is 'you'? Is 'you' me?
What are you going to do if I don't leave? Delete my posts?
I don't understand why you're so mad at me. You're really beating your keyboard? What did I do to incite this? I really would like this explained, as I've always attempted to avoid behavior that I thought would create such a reaction in anyone.
I guess to avoid redundancy, I'll attempt to guess your answers.
"You tried to figure me out!"
Oh, horror of horrors. So what? I can't be wrong? What's so bad about telling me I'm wrong, I accept it, and we both move on? It could have been that simple. It's not as if I'm holding the torch for some ill-concieved idea. I simply asked if it was true, and you got all offended. It wasn't a claim, it was a question.
Furthermore, I see nothing wrong with trying to understand people's motivations. At least I was man enough to ask you if I was right, instead of assuming so and not telling you. I knew that doing so would be a sure way to become a fool, so that's why I brought it up.
If you plan on deleting any thread that goes in a "negative direction", then the Cellar is destroyed in my mind. You might as well change the name and add avatars -- it wouldn't be the same. I don't want to leave, but if that is your plan, then I must, because it's no longer the Cellar.
I've thought about it a lot, though, and I could forsee a situation where I might react the same way if there was a discussion about my personal life. I still think that a better solution would have been to selectively delete posts and lock the thread. If it's only your plan to delete threads of a <i>highly</i> personal nature, then I suppose that I might be able to live with that. Not that you care, because you hate me, for some unknown reason..?
Anyway, sorry to post after I said I wouldn't. Don't worry.. until I'm sure that my posts won't be deleted at UT's whim, I won't post outside this thread. I sometimes spend hours composing posts. It simple isn't possible for me to invest that amount of time knowing they might be deleted. And I wouldn't invest less, because shitty posts just wouldn't be Juju.
