"Do you like me: check [_]Yes or [_]No."
What? No "maybe?"
Well, I'm proud to be the third person to vote "No." Want to know why? Because this is manipulative, grade-school foolishness; if you want to leave, then leave. I'm all too happy to give you the kick in the seat of the pants to get you going.
On the other hand, if you grow up and decide you want to continue to read and post on these Boards, I welcome you.
Honestly, what brings a thing like this on? If I'm reading you correcty, you're leaving because someone criticized your posts. Well, waaaaahh.
You know, I was often critcized on the old Dojo boards. I recall that I often vehemently disagreed with several of those members, frequently taking them to task for what I perceived as errors in judgment. In turn, I was often put on the stocks by those same people. Occasionally, some of us were brutally flamed; some of us posted statements far more unkind than anything that has been posted here (Battle Arena attacks notwithstanding). Know what? At least two of those Dojo posters went on to found this very organization (such as it is) and despite our differences of opinion, I was invited to join and welcomed here.
See, the problem is not that you get criticized, but that you don't take criticism well. You take it personally.
Guess what, kid -- you're going to face a whole lot worse from real people that you actually know during your lifetime, and if your reaction is to run away crying, "I don't know if you guys love me," then you are going to be one lonely person. Worse yet, if you leave yourself for a vote, you may be surprised at how many sentimental types are going to vote in your "favor." I'll be you'll be even more surprised, though, to find out how many people will be eager to see you out the door. The world doesn't revolve around you, Jeff...get used to that idea right now and save yourself some heartache in the future.
The people who jump to your aid, bless them, are good people -- you may count among your friends. They're not doing you any favors, however, by supporting your childish, ultimatum-issuing behavior.
Whatever your silly poll turns up, you are old enough to make these decision on your own, without resorting to guilt-trip tactics to play for everyone's sympathy. You won't get mine, but know that whichever you choose, you're always welcome here...as a fellow Magic player and as a potential friend.
Peace, Love, and .\\agic.
