Figured I'd just keep it short and straightforward because I doubt anyone really cares too much

Why I quit:

I requested my acc get banned a few months ago for many reasons however the main one was that the website kinda changed me.

Long story short in a weird way I became obsessed with this website and became very paranoid about losing a debate.

Not only this but this website kinda made me become very cynical of the world and very detached from it.

However, I recognize that this isn't anyone's fault except my own for allowing DART to consume and transform me.

Why I return

I'm primarily returning because in the last few months I really missed this community deeply in the past few months.

And logging back in being met with some messages of people saying their goodbyes really reminded me of that.

However I'd like to make one thing clear, I have zero interest in online debating.

In a lot of ways, I've kinda become bored and disinterested in online debating. Add on to that school, scouts, and my social life, I really don't have a lot fo time to be debating anymore even if I had an interest.

I'll primarily be using this website as a means of having discussions and voting on debates.

Life Update:

For anyone interested in how my life's been going, it's been going perfectly as of now.

After I broke up with my abusive ex in august my life has just been amazing in a lot of ways. I've found that ever since then I've been a lot less depressed and frustrated. Rather lately I've been very happy and content with my current situation. In fact, I've actually struck up a new romantic relationship recently and I'm going on a date with him today!

I even made a lot of new friends and overall have had a lot more time to actually have meaningful relationships and do the things I want to do.

In the end, I'm just happy I made it out of that debacle alive and well.

Anyways I'm just really happy to be back in this community and I guess I'll see you all around!

Why do you have to be engaged/married to be in an abusive relationship?

Sarcastic jokes about teenage immaturity in response to a conversation about abusive relationships. Classy.

It's true though.

1. No, it really isn't necessarily true. Unless you wanna make the claim that we should default to disbelieving, rather than believing, the stories of abuse survivors. And I really cant recommend you do that.

2. Even if you are right, you're still an asshole for saying it here.

LOL.

25 and still a teenager.

When you get to my age you'll look back and laugh and be somewhat embarrassed at the way you sometimes behaved when you were a teenager.

Back in my day, we didn't pay heed to logical arguments if they came from some young whipper snapper. We just dismissed everything they said because they are just too young to understand. #Boomerlogic

An ex can be a boyfriend. It doesn't necessarily mean husband.

I don't know why people are flaming you instead of simply answering the question. I think they must've forgot you were autistic or something. I guess it had a part to play when you didn't understand how to communicate that properly. If it is an iffy topic say something nice before you ask questions. I think it is a good rule.

Welcome back. For better or for worse I hope next time you know when to leave if it does make you unhappy. Forums can make people unhappy as well.

However, I recognize that this isn't anyone's fault except my own for allowing DART to consume and transform me.

You shouldn't really accept all the blame. DebateArt does play a role in the cynicism because without it you wouldn't be cynical unless you were trying to be cynical but you weren't.

Basically we don't blame the heroin addict for continual usage of the substance if we care about fairly placing blame not on some free will trash. A lot of questions can arise from this but I think this is okay.
