I will be leaving the Shrine as of tomorrow.
I felt really icky after Sine posted my real name online. It's not only vicious and mean-spirited of him, it's also illegal - you do know you can be tried for that, Sine? And more to the point, it's dangerous.
Before I go, I would like to try to clear my name as much as possible, however...
The way I remember events is as thus:
-I flamed Don. (I apologize for this now - Kupek, to his massive and awesome credit, sent me an e-mail that instantly managed to make me see how unwarranted my attacks were. So, Don, I apologize. At this point, I'd take anything just to have your original post back without my flames on it. Sorry for all the flames I've ever sent you.)
-kali stepped in and flamed me, and we exchanged a few responses.
-I then posted some sort of response I don't really remember, but it ended with the reverse castle line from Symphony of the Night.
-I reloaded the page some time later to find my post missing, and two posts from Kali: the current one with the SOTN line that I had typed in for my response (minus the edit I put in asking where he got the crack for phpBB), as well as the post wherein he claimed I had deleted one of his posts - which I do not remember doing in the slightest.
-I deleted one of his in response, and more flames ensued.
I posted that theory about some sort of thread-colliding-deadlock more as a means to try to defuse the situation than anything else. That kind of bug is so improbable as to be almost zero in this case, AFAIK. Which means one of two things: either someone broke in, deleted my thread, and copied my line and reposted it under kali's name, or I am quite literally going crazy.
I've just had a rather lengthy PM exchange with him, in which I revealed that I had bipolar disorder, and practically begging him to tell me what the fuck was really going on. kali didn't give a flying fuck, and proceeded to again call me "crazy" and "delusional". If you guys saw the letters...man. I'm tempted to post them just so you can see how he opened up on me, trying to make me feel bad about being legally bipolar - which sucks like a bitchfucker already, let me tell you - *after* I literally begged him to stop harassing me in a PM.
At one point, I begged him to tell me what's going on, informing him that I've actually doubted myself enough over the whole thing to actually debate checking myself into a mental hospital. He again claimed that he didn't do it...but I would have thought that that, at least, would have gotten him to provide details, as opposed to a vague denial that I can't really believe.
I think kali is dispassionate and cruel, but I won't wish anymore hate on him - that's how this all got started. So I wish him the best. But to be honest, I'd probably stay if it were just his shit...he's not really worth leaving for.
The real reason I'm leaving is Sine's posting my name and supposed address online. I'm not really tripping on it, because 1. the address is wrong and 2. I just don't have any enemies...but what if I had, Sine? What if I'd been in a gang back when and had people looking for me? And to those who'd laugh at the concept, while I've never been in one, I've had several friends who have.
I really don't know what got into your head, but that's dangerous, borderline illegal, and just plain shows me that you're not going at looking after our welfare here.
Sine, I thought you had done a good job keeping this place up after I gave it to you, but this is really low, man. Really, really low.
Anyway, I'll be PMing those of you who I'll be PM'ing, and probably checking my PMs for the next few days if anyone wants to contact me.
To everyone else...keep it real, guys...
