My Last Post. #1754

[papapi]

I've only been coming here for a couple of months. I won't be posting anything else. The novelty has worn off and my humor is too eclectic for the majority of posters here. I am a gay man. I have always felt marginalized and I have often had that same feeling here, even in the GLBTQ forum. Very few people have been welcoming to me. I commend those who have and wish them well.

I will continue to support Barack Obama because I have always known he is the best candidate for the presidency. I don't really feel a need anymore to discuss my feelings on this stance so I have been ignoring most of the bru-ha-ha posted in the GD-P. I hope he chooses Wesley Clark as his running mate but if he doesn't, I'll support the person he chooses. I'm despise Hillary Clinton but if it's her, so be it.

I think everyone is way off track with the marriage equality (legal union) issue and there is a better way, which may be what Obama proposes when he becomes President. My opinion can be found in the recent poll on the subject "gay marriage - for it or against it" where I spent too many hours responding to people who chose to stake me in the heart because of my position. Maybe I convinced a few to reconsider their stance. I guess it was worth it, I'm not sure. I no longer give a damn.

I may continue to visit the front page occasionally and catch up on sensible topics of discussion but I'm weary of snarly people and juvenile posts in the forums that are meant to be serious. This does not include the lounge. I was dissappointed to read yesterday that there is a place here called 'the dungeon' which seems very un-democratic to me. There should be a comedic forum where people can let off steam. The lounge has proven it is not such a place. Lord knows in the current political climate this is sorely needed.

Bye bye-uh.

1. I'll look for you in the Lounge, papapi.

Take a break from the other forums if that's what works for you, but don't leave the community entirely. I was just gettin' to know you. :hug:

2. I always thought the Lounge was the letting of steam place

:shrug: Have I been acting like a dork in the wrong place?

3. You've been here two months...

...and already have 1700+ posts and you don't understand why you're burned out???? :crazy:

It took five YEARS of reading DU every day before I created an account. I've had it for 4 months now and barely have 350 posts. And even then, this place wears me out and makes my teeth itch sometimes.

Why don't you sit out a few days and then think about coming back? And take a page from some other DU'ers. I met a lovely woman a few weeks ago. Been here since 2006 and had 37 posts under her belt. Now that's MY kind of poster! :)

Sigh..getting tired of all these goodbyes.....:-( x(

10. you know its really crass to call people out as you are leaving.

if you want to leave, and want to say bye to your friends, thats one thing

you call a bunch of people out when leaving : crass.

11. You were VILE during the primaries - good riddance - can you

take some of your friends?

[Lex]

12. Now that theprimary is over, a lot of people will leave

because the "novelty" has worn off, no doubt.
