As cliche as what I'm about to say is: welcome to the Internet. We talk shit, say things on here, and joke around in ways that we wouldn't normally do in real life because the Internet is a great way to let those sides of ourselves show.

Take me for example... I hardly have any social confidence around people that I don't know, and I automatically assume that people dislike me before they get to know me, among a long list of other self-defeating principles. But on here, I'm all like king shit "bam...bam... yeah you're doing this all wrong!" and shit. I would never call anyone out in real life... but I'm able to let that side of me show because I'm really not worried about the social repercussions on the Internet.

So paradoxically, we act more like our true selves (because there isn't that element of being socially awkward), and NOT like ourselves (because we might be exaggerating certain characteristics, including the playful, yet intense bullying that seemed to offend you so much). Well, sometimes people lie about their entire existent, but evidence of that on TB is beyond the scope of this text.

Anyway, my point is... is that this "talking shit" is something that comes naturally with certain Internet environments. I know it's hard to tell the tone of how our words are used. Sometimes, people genuinely dislike someone online. Sometimes they just joke around, but really like that person. The latter is true for you. Now, assuming that you don't know what that word means, I mean that we only say those things to you because you're new here and we're a tight-knit online group, so we've been "hazing" you in a way.

But obviously, once we found out that you weren't someone's alternate account, we loved you. We embraced "CHEEAAA!!!!" in a really big way. Shit, we even let you into the super secret club, for god's sake. So obviously we've just been fucking around with you, and naturally expect to be fucked around with in return. To be honest, your personality seems so naively positive, that it's hard to resist messing around with you for kicks, but at the same time... your outlook is inspiring.

If us saying "GTFO :arrow: " really upset you that much, then be thankful that you registered here instead of the 311 BB. We were only joking with you, and you should have fucked with us back by saying "NO U" or something equally as witty instead of pussing out and throwing a "I AM GOING TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT" drama queen shit that is completely played out on every single Internet community. Usually when people do that, it's some sort of pity cry for us to beg them back. When a few people here did that, well... we didn't give in because we unanimously had rather them gone to be honest. But for you... well, I'm going to have to beg for you to stay.

Hizzy... you're the best thing to happen to this place since CV left. So STFU and keep doing your thing, or else I'll start an online petition to have you back. And you know that means business. But if you aren't willing to play along here, then go ahead and go.
