So I think its time for me to go from GRCade, at least for the meanwhile. I don't wanna make a big topic about it and be a drama king, but at the same time I do wanna say my piece why I wanna go.
I love GRCade, but I don't wanna come here and be called a banana split and that be okay. I don't want ANYONE to have to face that. I want to come here and share conversation, but I think its getting to point where I'm just this caricature of myself in most peoples eyes and people are allowed to just shut me down and its not fun posting on here feeling like I'm treading on eggshells. Those on here who have met me hopefully realise thats not who I am really. I am bored of being seen through that filter, and thats why for now at least I'm going to be parting ways. No real action was taken in the most recent incident even when others said it went too far so I don't really feel that comfortable on here anymore. I don't need a forum ruining my daily life because someones being a spanner again. People who love/likle me can call me a banana split all they want, people who are dicks to me often saying that are just cowering behind the internet, and I just cant be arsed with it.
GRCade has given me a lot, and I will be forever grateful for that and the great people I've met, the friendships I've formed, the events we've seen played out and everything else. I will continue to browse, but right now - I dont feel its right for me to be posting whilst GR doesn' really have standards. I don't buy into this whole GR dying crap, and I don't want me leaving to be seen as 'well I think its gooseberry fool anyway'. I love GR, find it useful in everyday life, and love a lot of people here...I just don't wanna be the punchline and a punchbag for at least a good while. I hope maybe this is a small incentive to sort some gooseberry fool here, because this is a great community.
Its not goodbye forever, but it is goodbye for now. I need a break.
I do hope the mods act so that I might come back in future.
See you all sometime soon, I'll still be about on Twitter if you wanna fire me a message @RoarJustice.
For what it's worth, besides a verbal warning clearly placed in the thread in question that is notorious for this kind of bollocks, we have had less than 32hours over a Sunday and the start of the working week to deal with the usage of the word "banana split" to DML's satisfaction.
The aforementioned action was taken in addition to a staff discussion being created exactly 3 hours and 30 minutes after DML submitted a report, after which DML was informed about, and then acknoweldged a discussion had begun some 5-7hours later on a Sunday night.
Nonetheless it is sad to see DML decide not to post because we did not act quickly or effectively to his complaint on this ocassion.
Thanks for everything you brought to the forum DML and hope to see you return at some time you feel comfortable to do so. In the meantime, we will continue to discuss this incident with a view to fully resolving the problem.

How was yesterday? Did it all go well (or as well as can be expected)?

Well I held it together and cried a little bit managed to say part of what I wanted to say without tearing up. I don't know why I can't cry properly but I think I already cried so much when I heard she wasn't going to survive that maybe I just accepted what was going to happen and knew all this was coming. I still miss her like mad and I'd do anything to go back and hug and talk to her again but I know I cant.
The service was nice and the wake was good as I saw my mums family who I haven't seen in over 17 years and it was great talking to them again. I said I'd keep in better contact with them because they're all really nice its just they live so far away. My oldest cousin made me laugh a lot and my uncle who went through cancer a few years ago (my mums oldest brother) still has the same stupid sense of humour that he's always had.
He's never flown until yesterday, so when one of my aunts from my Dad's side asked if he was scared of flying he said he wasn't but he was going to ask when he got on the plane if the pilots landings and take offs matched up number wise.

I’m glad it went as well as it could. Funerals are odd in that they can be the saddest day of your life, while also having happy/funny moments.

In my experience they usually end up with a couple of people getting too pissed and falling out.

I think that's the point of them really though, you get the family together and everyone has a chat about the person and remembers all the good times together at the wake. They're an excuse to bring people together to try and grieve together, because realistically they're not even for the dead person since it doesn't matter to them anymore. It's for the people they leave behind.

Yeah that’s true, it’s about the family/friends far more than the deceased.
One of the best nights out I ever had was after the funeral of a friend that was killed in tragic circumstances. The event/funeral was horrific, but the catching up and having drinks with people was great. I’d rather never do it again though!
