@Gatorade
Thanks for the medal. I've quit 'debating formally' for now and will maximum do one at a time. I realise that I have to understand voters a lot more, as well as putting in a lot more time and effort, If I ever want to ever master that.

As for the forums, I'll be using them on and off. I'm tired of the 'fighting' I am here to spread truth, have some fun and that's all. I hope to help this website and its community by altering my modus operandi to focus on helping the targeted, not fighting the ones who do the targeting as much. This tweaking of my MO, will almost definitely be what was always optimal and what I was wrong to avoid in the past.

The fear that I am not 'fighting hard enough' leads me to be toxic to the people I am trying to defend. I will change that.

@Alec

I never expected anyone to accept the apology, I apologise anyway because I know I was an ass, in my tone of conversing at the very least.

You're all paying the winner $50 each or you're all paying because I'm here and I should feel shit for coming back to a site where no one wants me?

Both are objectively bullshit and you made it up to make me feel anger or sadness much like most of what you post but that is because you are pained deeply by a life few would want to live through and that is why you are powerful.

It’s more pointing out that I have milk in my fridge that has lasted longer than your departure.

You spend all day sitting on the website, counting up average rate of forum posts and probably every single detail of every single user. You probably have more information on the website's userbase than the Yandex.Ru tracking cookie that Mike has put in place.

So, when you tell me my departure was barely long enough to impress you, maybe look in the mirror and realise your departure never existed at all to be proud of.

I am not sure what's so funny but I am happy that happiness was brought by my departure and return, even at the sake of how you and Ramshutu perceive me.

I have gained a lot from this departure and honestly I feel more chill now than I ever have in my entire life. I regret nothing about this break and will keep the break from intensively-paced formal debating probably permanently for the remainder of my stay on the site. 1-2 at a time maximum will do me just fine from now on, no matter how easy they appear. It's about the timesink and what it does to me outside of debating. The stress and all that, it's like a constant lingering thought 'that debate is due but you have shit to do' (I know that rhymes).

I fixed the OP for you.

To those who wronged me, I forgive you. To those I wronged, I wish you well and understand your dislike for me.

For those I didn't wrong but you still detest me, I couldn't care less. For those who do not detest me, want you to understand that my [LEAVING FOR TEN DAYS] is to do with seeking a more private life. One where I don't need to worry about bullies, authorities or any of that [for 1.5 weeks]. I am becoming a more cowardly person at a first glance but a happier, stronger one in the long run who actually will do things with my life.

I decided to not do the moon landing debate [even though I am now back before the first round expired], it may be so good or so bad and controversial, regardless, that I end up famous for it and that's not the kind of heat I want. Believe the Earth is round, that we landed on the moon, that everything is fine or that everything is not. Make your own mind up, I'm not your guardian or guide in this life.

I wish you all the best [from now until labour day], seriously, but I will never ever be returning to this website [this month]. This time it's real, this time I have truly and utterly decided to do it and not felt pressured into it by anyone other than myself [the rest of August can suck it]. I love the time I spent debating, I love that I'm quitting it now [for 240 whole hours], the two are not mutually exclusive.

If you feel like I trolled by accepting debates just to quit [and then come back with only forfeiting one single round], that's fine. I am whatever you say I am, to you as an individual at the very least.

I had an addiction to online debating, a real genuine addiction. It made me toxic, adversarial and a real cunt even to the admin and if I am to change into a person who cares for others and doesn't just 'fight against them to prove them wrong' I needed the losses, I needed the Ramshutus [who is smarter, more handsome and just plain all-round better than me], the bsh1's and everyone involved from the Castins to the bench's to show me along the way just how wrong it all was.

I was completely incorrect about my role in the world and in life and I have finally understood it all. I have issues, I am angry, unhappy and never really got over a depression that I thought I'd gotten over years ago. I need to finally seek a different path in life and this is the time to fully pursue it, no more 'on and off' I know for a fact what my life was and was not meant to be now. I really wish you all the best and hope this becomes one of the best online debating sites [in the 1/3rd of a month I will be gone]

I genuinely am sorry for what a cunt I've been even just yesterday on the website, I keep being passive-aggressive, aggressive and the cycle continues and it makes everything a lose-lose situations for me and the people I interact with over time as even those I grow close to want to distance themselves from me. I may end up seeking professional help but I doubt it, I think that finally fully dedicating myself to going on a path of agreement and healing will help me. This is not me denouncing debating itself as a bad thing but I do think once you get too into it, it can begin to alter you as a person and make you fight against everyone around you when all they wanted to do was help you.

I am not saying that I regret all my rivalries to be clear, I'm saying I should have been empathetic to my enemies and their victims instead of deciding my role was the one to 'prove them wrong' and 'bring them down'. I am a healer and lover, that was my role all along but what I've been doing in life so far is anything but that. I don't think I will ever fully change now, I've finished developing my personality pretty much and my core being antagonistic and avoidant will never truly change into being passive and agreeable but I do think I can channel it far, far better and become the best at whatever it is I do without needing to fight everyone while doing it.

I hope you all genuinely forget about me over [the 10 days I will be gone]  but given my place on the forum leaderboards and how much people talk about me, I'm sure it will take a few [days] to fully eradicate my relevance to the site as the rap battling 'raaaaaah I'm the best' guy who really clearly wasn't actually meant to be that great of a debater but I hope eventually you all fully forgive, forget and move on with your lives here and IRL never thinking twice about me [until I come back in less than two weeks{

Does it feel good inside to mock me like that? Do you think you proved a point?

I can highlight what you're missing;

The stated reason I left is indeed achieved in the time frame I quit. So, I don't understand what you're trying to prove here other than that you're a bully, which I think we already knew, especially based on what I know of you from a website we don't want to talk about.

You are out to hurt, offend, ridicule and somehow you think you paint me as the idiot or loser? Well, maybe you do in some people's eyes. I hope they enjoy the show.

Anyway if it wasn't you, it was Freud, which means he simply meant he enjoys me being bullied as he never liked my posts. Frankly, I do not understand the joy as I am not built like that but go ahead berate one another and me, I want no part of this nonsense anymore, I am not playing 'throw shit harder back at you' I am playing 'thanks for the shit you threw at me, how can I help you with your issues?' and I am happy to play that anti-flaming game for the remainder of my time on this website and even in life really.

I’m not mocking you, I’m mocking your behaviour.


If you expect not to be gently mocked for making a grandiose, over the time “quitting for ever” thread, only to return 10 days later (after already having “quit” at least 3 previous times), then I don’t think you understand how the internet works.


Its like if you posted “STOP” in the forum, and acted surprised if someone replied “Hammer time”.

It's not gentle, never is. The only reason you think this is gentle is because your baseline from other places I've seen you post than DART, is so severely horrific and deeply cutting to the ego that you think this is gentle.

This isn't gentle, it's more polite and veiled. You are consistently, with every single interaction you have with and around me fake, out to tear me to pieces, make me feel like a pathetic waste of space who is a piece of shit loser whether I stay on the site or not as either I'm a failure who can't quit or a coward who can't remain. It doesn't matter what I do, what image I choose, what way I talk, what way I walk. You can and will tear at it and get others to pile on me too.

The problem that I had in the past was that I feared that. I feared you, I hated you and I couldn't get over the fact that you were allowed to do this to me and that others joined in. It wasn't until I quit that I not only saw (based on others' reactions) but also gained perspective by truly not participating in the website even mentally, an outlook that enabled me to realise that the very reason you 'win' against me is that I focus on the painful intent, instead of the cause of the intent itself.

You hurt me because you envy me. You loathe the fact that someone should ever feel so proud and good about themselves that they dare make an attention-grabbing post like this. In your ideal world, I presume everyone shuts the fuck up unless the sadistic bullies decide it's normal and bland enough to be said without any angle to mock it into silence.

The difference between the old me and the new me is I don't care anymore about what you're saying, I care why you're saying it and will use that against you instead of the 'what'. You arbitrarily decide what you can and can't mock, what is gentle ribbing vs sadistic triggering and gang-up-on-him-inciting taunting. You make up whatever you like as you go along with what's a good argument in debates to what's a fair and just reason to be brutal to someone verbally or probably even physically for all I know. Then, when it suits your agenda, you arbitrarily decide what's bad, evil, unjust, stupid etc. All the while, your justification for what you do involves consistent patterns of arbitrary lines:

I’m not mocking you, I’m mocking your behaviour.
Interesting. What is 'me' then? Your behaviour since my return (actually during my leave and throughout my stay on this website) has been to make me feel shit. I do not see a single post angled in any shape or form to not make me feel laughed at, looked down upon, retarded, weak, pathetic etc. I don't see any other motive for how and why you are saying what you say, consistently. You lace it at times with a 'but' or 'on the other hand' and give an extremely shallow deflection which again is like Leafy (so I don't know why I'm called the leafy) and then you think that makes the other stuff you said and did just fine.

Then if I defend it, it's my ego talking, oh god the delusional fucktard RM is at it again right? Defending himself, 'bullying anyone who treads on his ego' oh lord... No, honey, that's you.
If you expect not to be gently mocked for making a grandiose, over the top (erroneouslytyped as 'time') “quitting for ever” thread, only to quit 10 days later (after already having “quit” at least 3 previous times), then I don’t think you understand how the internet works.
I understand how the Internet works, that's why I recognise strategised cyberbullying when I see it.
Its like if you posted “STOP” in the forum, and acted surprised if someone replied “Hammer time”.
No, it's not. You made a ridiculous analogy. If you harass someone who begs you to stop, you are the bad guy whether it's the Internet or not.

I will like to let you know that your comments, forum posts and debate votes are all visible for others to review the history of and determine it for themselves, no imaginary friends needed.

The only thing they can't notice in retrospect is the image changing or context of some of what you said/did, which is barely relevant as a lot of it is standalone abuse. The difference between us is I am on the side of truth and you're only proving me more and more correct with every post you're making, you're desperate to mock me into silence but the beauty if it is I can stay silent after this post, I just told people to look for themselves and described in depth the pattern to look for, which you thankfully quoted and proved correct there and then.

You now can type whatever you want, this thread is won by me because all anyone has to do is research this thread, other threads and you in general and they will see the truth.
