I'm not going to say that I knew the truth straight away (or didn't I... it isn't like I can trust any of you anymore) and I'm not going to tell you how angry I am that you would treat I, and many others this way, but I will ask why?
Why did you all have to treat the Escapist community, people who would call you friend, so that you could get your shits and giggles? Distancing yourself from those that would stick by you so you could watch them squirm under the microscope. Why the hell would you do that?
I'll admit that I've never really gotten to know anyone here that well. The most I ever see of someone is the posts they make public, so because of that I don't think I can really call anyone here a friend. I couldn't really care when it boils down to it, I have problems opening up to strangers so even if someone did try to befriend me over this place I'd only push them away, but I still have some respect, a lot of respect, for some of the people on this forum. A lot of those, incidentally, being those that went to 'Escapism' in April.
Now, I'm not so sure. I can't respect those that would lie to me, to the entire Escapist community, like this. I can't see what I used to respect in you people, I can't see anything that makes me think 'that person is great'. Now when I see your avatars I see liars that fill me with disgust, tricksters that only want to entertain themselves... people that would stop me from joining this forum.
Yeah, I know I'm looking into this too deeply. It is only the Internet, and I'm only Fire Daemon... hardly a key player in anything going on here, but still... well this whole 'Escapism/Ultrajoe' ordeal sure has done a great job at ruining my stay here and I really feel the need to vent at least a part of my emotions.
Anyway, maybe I'll move on now. I've found another forum that seems rather inviting, I just haven't made the full move yet. Maybe I wont, try and find some nice people to pay attention too. Who knows? Well, at least I know not to go to another 'Escapism' (I'm really glad I missed out on the one in April), I don't want to get caught up in something like this.
