NoSince a lot of you can't stand me here, vote me off and I'll stop logging in! The poll is anonymous, and I'm not going to reply to anything in this thread. I don't care anymore.

Should I leave this forum?
- Thread starter Saint Frankenstein
- Start date
You and I have very different POVs, but my estimation of your character, or visa versa**, is irrelevant to whether you're still getting something out of the forum. So I think you should consider deciding based on that.
**I actually think we'd probably get along just fine outside a constant debate framework. Just enjoying X beverage and talking about animals or something.

If everyone that I disagreeed with left this forum it would just be an echo chamber.
I will probably disagree with you over 90% of the time. That does not mean that I do not like you. So please do not leave. There are only a very very few that I feel should leave the forum. You are definitely not in that group.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm pleasantly surprised that only one person voted yes, to be honest. I thought I had more haters than that. Lol.
I'm glad you're staying, and I'm glad all but one can see that you're valuable to this place.
In a way, I feel RF is like a family. Some members are closer, some bicker but still care anyways. Occasionally, a few will never be able to settle their differences, but overall, we're a decent group, at least 6 days out of the week.
I hope one take-away from this thread is that someone disliking what you may have to say at one time or another does not equate to that someone disliking you as a person.
These days, there isn't any person on RF whom I could even remotely think of as someone I hate. Getting to know people more here puts into further perspective and emphasizes that we're all much more than words on a screen and actually share a lot of common everyday challenges.

I voted no. I don't post much these days, but do read and always enjoy you.
I remember when I first came onto RF having a conversation with you about Joan of Arc(I may have had a different name then ).

Just cuz we hate you doesn't mean we want you to leave.
Criminy, I'd never dare create such a poll for myself.
I'd vote no on that as well, on both counts (hating you and wanting you to leave).
Opinions would vary.
I am not here to please all.

I find these threads complicated and have some reservations about them. Which could be one of the reasons I didn't respond to this thread when it was "newer". For example, I have noticed that some people seem to have a bone to pick with @Saint Frankenstein in some threads, but when they seem to try to confront the forum about these issues, no one really wants to address them. They just seem to want to talk about the person in an overwhelmingly positive way, in which it may be nice to receive praise, but it may also be confusing. I hope these things confuse Saint Frankenstein less than they would confuse me if I were in the same position.
Given the time that has gone on since this thread, I may be missing some form of context, though.
If I am wrong here, or if it just looks like I'm stirring the pot, I apologize. I had kind of a rough day, so I may have a different perspective than usual. Tomorrow, I will likely be a bit more pleasant, and less judgemental, and back to my "pie-in-the-sky" thoughts and philosophical thinking. But there comes a point where, sometimes, you just have to point out your thoughts, it makes a good part of reflection, and it gives people a chance to respond whether they think you are correct or incorrect, rational or irrational.

I kind of agree with you on this. I don't see much point in responding to a request as to whether or not someone should leave a forum site. Probably because I've always felt that, when some place is no longer enjoyable for me, then it's probably time to leave.
I mean, I see it like...
Bye bye mein lieber Herr, farewell mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care, I need the open air
You're better off without me mein Herr
Fortunately, I freakin' love this site and I'm still having fun here.
btw, sorry about your rough day, Snow White. May things be brighter for you tomorrow.

It's complicated. I myself totally disagree with his politics, but I still said that he should not leave. Now that he seems to have put me on ignore I could call him a "rat *******" and only have to worry about others reporting me. But I still do not think that he should leave. The only people that I have a problem with are those that only preach and run, and they are usually gone before I can urge a ban on them.
And I sincerely hope that you day gets better. Eat a nice healthy dinner. Maybe with a glass of wine. But do not over do it. Tomorrow will hopefully be a better day,.

Thanks. I'm having a grilled cheese on fancy bread.
A cup of tea with a shot of Southern Comfort in it does it for me.
