I know I’m gonna get flamed like hell, and I don’t blame you if you do, but please read the topic before flaming.

I did say I was going to be gone until after my 2 year anniversary but I would rather be at RV at this period of time than be at somewhere like Tip.It or RHQ… You see, I’ve not got someone in my life any more (ever since my (now ex) girlfriend’s mum tried to get me nicked) so I would rather be around RV than dwell on the fact she dumped me in the most spectacular style possible. Not that I’m not relieved, because she was getting on my nerves actually…

But anyway… The whole Tip.It community doesn’t have that “family” feel of RV and has a much more (im)mature feel to it… not the sort of place I’m used to or even want to be in quite frankly… So I’ve decided I didn’t particularly feel comfortable there…

So anyway, I’m coming back gradually and this post is really merely to test the water. And as I said in the Staff Lounge post, if the water is boiling I’m not jumping in the bathtub. I spent most of yesterday trolling lurking forums seeing what I had missed and seeing what’s changed. Boy, what has changed! Agent Soul? Stale Orange? Shando as Admin?!? I told you to keep me informed on these things! I go for 3 weeks and RV disintegrates into a pile of name-swapping people ruled by a guy with a strange avatar… Joke, you probably deserve it Shando

Anyway, I’m bucking my ideas up and trying to sort my life out. Control my temper etc etc etc… but I want to do that in a familiar environment in which I know the people I’m surrounded by. And above all, RV was, and always will be, my home, and home is the place to sort out your troubles.

It feels good to be coming back.

Now you just fought one hell of a fight and I know you hate me and you’ve got the right to kill me now and I wouldn’t blame you if you do, but you ought’a thank me before I die for the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eye, ‘cause I’m the @!^£%^$ that named you Sue….

EDIT:


I never forgot about that post, it made me realise how low i had got... thought i would share the PM that i sent to Sarah herself with the village, just so you know i havn't forgoten that i screwed up...

Runevillage the forum is pretty well much done. Runevillage the group will eventually die, but as long as we're still friends with each other in the end, it's still a pretty big thought in our heads. Runevillage the family is forever, no matter where we settle down. If absolutely nothing else ever comes of Runevillage in the future, that alone is a pretty damn awesome thought.

Welcome Back.

Nothing more to say to you.

Family don't walk out on each other.

You have come back and you're already making excuses, saying that you left because you are having life problems and needed us. I actually kept an eye on you over at tip.it as I have an account there to keep in touch with old friends, you walked in there with the same superior attitude that you have used here and they weren't as forgiving to it as we are. You have got to seriously change your attitude or you might find the door locked when you return after walking out on us again. As much as people would like it to be, forgiveness isnt an infinite resource, only so much can be used on one person before you start questioning whether they should be recieving it or not.

I feel you have a long way to go before you are accepted properly here once again, if it even happens at all, only you can make the changes that need to happen. If you need help with your issues pm me, but you need to learn to control them so you don't hurt your friends and "family"more than you already have.

I think Sarah is completely right on this,
You walked out on us, You haven't changed one bit at all. Unfortunately I won't be so forgiving because it's wrong. You walk out on the people who cared about you...Saying you'd go to another competitor's website. That's not ok in my book.

But we'll see in due time whether I'll forgive you or not.

Welcome back. It's always nice to see an RVer return, and hopefully you don't go leaving us again. ^_^

And Sarah, plenty of kids walk out on their parents.

STOP THE PRESSES, KING CAME BACK!!!!!!!

Oh, wait, nevermind. I'm surprised you lasted this long without coming back.

Whatever. You better stay true to that whole boiling bathtub thing, because life won't be easy for ya for a little while.
(Who the hell boils bath-water?)

King, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. In case you didn't already know, forgiveness takes a long time. Even if you've done nothing wrong in the past, that doesn't mean that you'll necessarily be let off the hook for a first offense. When I was banned from chat, I was like you -- I wanted to pretend that what happened wasn't that big of a deal and that everyone would be forgiving. I soon found out that this was not the case.

I had been a member at Runevillage for two and a half years when the incident happened. I had never gotten into trouble before (I had never even had a warning), and yet I learned that no matter who you are, you have to take responsibility for your actions. I still have no idea why I did what I did, but I do know that being banned from chat for over a year and a half was not fun. A lot of things in life aren't fun, but in the end you have to deal with them. I eventually learned to accept what had happened, and moved on. If you can do the same, then in time others will forgive you.

What the hell is all that commotion about? I feel left out

Anyways, as far as I'm concerned you were always friendly when I talked to you, so I'll be glad you're back.

I'd say they were about on a level par.

Welcome back Josh

Far be it from me to backup Sarah...but her post was actually quite true.
Forgiveness isn't an easy thing to attain, I'd know , and she was letting King know that so he doesn't get any false hopes of getting an immediate sense of family again. She even offered to help him. I'd say that's fairly helpful as well.

Hmmm, I was joking. Hence the wink.

But if I wasn't joking. That would be a good reply.

I'm really not pleased with the recent stunt. I understand you have issues, as everyone does, but you shouldn't take that out on the people around you. We're here to help if you need it but if you keep pushing people away and making a fool of yourself you'll end up losing everyone close to you and then no-one'll be able to help.

In future if you want to take a break, just do it, you can tell your closer friends on MSN that you'll be taking a break, and tell staff, then just take it instead of making a big deal out of it. If you have real life issues, sort them out first, that way you won't have to take it out on other people.

If you want to talk, hit me up via PM or MSN. Just don't go doing this again.

-Matt

Whether or not that's your wish, the posts still violate the Forum Rules. No matter what you did, two wrongs don't make a right. ~Donut
