I only guess what happens when people stop posting, whether it be SJws(!) or right-wing trolls(!). But yeah, so little people around and I remember enough posters that I can't really start to have any idea why they left lol.

Could somebody please translate this post into English?

"I am upset that people aren't posting enough, even if it means political radicals of either stripe are quiet."

That was quite beautiful.

See, that's part of why I take time away. Not because YOU must please me. Disagreements are inevitable. I don't expect blind worship. But that I genuinely worry that I've driven those others away. And with sincerity. It's not narcissism - or at least not the way you guys think of it. Am I stubborn, overbearing, and hostile on many occasions? Yes. And I feel bad for that. I have deep insecurities, and once I am on a subject, as you've seen, I beat it to death. Turning it over from every new angle. So I do likewise look at the state of the forums, with very few posting, and worry that people have fled because they are turned off, by my own admission, by my arrogance, and so on. It's why sometimes I wonder if I have a place here, and I had wanted to take a much longer break last month. If I am helping to kill the forums, even if I'm not directly to blame, but just one of many factors contributing to it, I have to stop it.

I tried. Lord knows I had tried. I do feel bad about hostile I have gotten in some cases. And that's no lie or a joke.

You just posted a post in which you point out that you worry that your self-centered behaviour is driving people away, by means of posting a self-centered post. Again: You are not the center of the world. It turns with or without you. And the world at large, doesn't give a rat's arse about you. The sun will rise tomorrow, regardless on if you complained about the same issue you complained about yesterday already or not.

Tomorrow, I will get up out of my bed, see if my maybe-maybenot-girlfriend does the morning ritual with which she tells me that she likes me a lot, just to rebuff me asking for a date five minutes later when we text or phone like every morning since 7 months now, only to call me back later and reassure me, that she still wants me to visit her at work this evening, because she is missing me. You know how much this will change depending on whether you posted something that I may or may not agree to? Nada. Zilch. Fuck all.
I do not care about you enough, to change this daily routine of complete and utter madness that drains my energy just as much as it gives me energy just because she did indeed write "Good Morning", simply because I mentioned once, that her doing that, means a lot to me. She won't change, based on what you do or don't either and it just does not fucking matter what you do or don't do, to any of us anywhere, anywhen. So stop being such a self-absorbed wanker and stop smearing it in our faces every other day and just do and write what you think is right or needs to be said. If you think you have everything said or have nothing to say, then just shut the fuck up. And if I do not like what you write, I either ignore you or post a post. It really isn't rocket science and the only person standing in your way, is your own ego.

I'm fine with blaming everything on Yuka.

As far as leaving the forum because you think you made it smaller, that's some pretty counterintuitive thinking if I do say so my self.

[Yukaphile]

Is it any coincidence when I post less, others post more? I don't wanna hurt people, as contradictory as that might sound.

We all know I have a fragile ego.

I didn't know that.
