You all probably
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
You all probably
You all probably don't care at all that I'm leaving for awhile.
Probably all summer.
I'm just so mad at a few people. Whenever I try to talk, I get burned down. I don't know anybody on here well anymore, and the people I do know are leaving.
I don't care what you all say. The CB has changed and I think it was better then.
How can you say that they're both equal when I can't talk without people screaming at me.
I'm so sick of this.
Bye. Not that anyone cares.

I care... I mean, I know I might leave too, but I really like you, SE. A bunch of people, myself included, are being stupid right now.
(June 29, 2016 - 1:34 pm)
Oh my good mess, SE...You can't leave. I know you won't listen to me but you are part of what makes the CB interesting, lively, and not repetitive. You are one of my greatest CB friends, and it would never, ever, not for eternity be the same without you.
I care, SE. I care deeply.
Please. Don't leave.

Screamed at you? I didn't notice. But I browsed the old threads. I've seen what it used to be. I wasn't there, so I can't say if it was better or not.
But please, don't leave.
All of us, I'm sure, truly, deeply care about you.
This is just another stage. It'll be over soon.
(June 30, 2016 - 10:07 am)
We all care, S.E.! And for everyone who's ever said, "Nobody cares"...We care!
And, like Novelist said, it's a stage. People get upset, and then they resolve it. It happens. We've all just kind of got to wait it out and figure out what we want to happen and try to make it happen without hurting anyone. (But, compromise might be necessary, of course.) Everyone on the CB has bad moments/stretches/times/whatever you want to call them. We're people. And yes, we're kids. It's not a derogatory term. We don't all know the solutions. But that's okay!
So, don't leave S.E. (but I'm not forcing you or anything)! We do care about you, but we all mess up. It won't be long before we fix things.

S.E, please don't leave! I haven't known you on the CB for very long, but I have already made a connection with everyone on here. I understand wanting to take a break from all this. I nearly did, myself. But just don't leave forever. The CB cares about you. Yes, there have been some really nasty fights recently. Some really depressing farewells and sorries. But it happens. Even the old CB had times like that. Yes, I miss the old CB from time to time. But people here are amazing, and kind. Even if they lose their temper sometimes. But again, don't leave. We care, but like siblings, we all fight sometimes.

I care... I really do. I don't know if my opinion matters, but I've always loved you as a CBer. Each and every one of your comments is something necessary. I've probably been one of the people that has made you want to leave, and, if so, I am very sorry. But, if there's any way you can be swayed... Change your mind? I will miss you...
*hugs*
Please?
*through tears*
Well, goodbye, I guess...

<Bitter_mode:Activated> Everyone's leaving because the CB is turbulent right now. No one is strong enough to live through it; at the slightest sign of disagreement, they turn tail and run. It's irritating, and soon there will be no one left. I used to be considering leaving, before this all happened, but now realize I can't.
SE, why are you leaving? Are you waiting until the "war" dies down? Hmm? You said everyone you know is leaving, so you're just going to follow? Not forge your own path and stop the war?
I know you can, SE. You're a strong person and I believe you have in in you to bring the CB back together.
But to do that, you need to stay for a tiny bit longer.
Talk to whoever's bothering you. Apologize, make amends, win them over. Build bridges. Reinstate the bond that's held us all together.
Please do it.
Thanks.
But then again, if you leave, then the CB will probably just die. No biggie.
Its fate rests in your hands, SE.
<Bitter_Mode:Deactivated> Well, that got a little dramatic.

I've tried, Scylla. Every time I talk to people and try to agree, then they just make it worse.
I hate feeling like I'm running away from the CB. But it's just gotten to the point where I miss BHR and Everinne and everyone that I knew so must it gets to the point where it's just not fun.
(June 30, 2016 - 2:43 pm)
I completely understand. I can sense that you aren't a coward, for some odd reason. I understand why you're leaving and I know you're not running away.
It's a free country, SE.
Just follow your instinct.
(June 30, 2016 - 5:28 pm)
I understand what you mean, S.E I miss those people too, and so more. But the past is the past. And I understand you tried to fix things, I think we all have tried here on CB. But as of now, there isn't much hope. You aren't running away from the problem, you simply are giving it a break to keep your sanity. If you leave, we'll miss you, no doubt. I hope you will come back and join us again, but that is ultimately your choice.
Just remember, you are welcome here. Always.
(June 30, 2016 - 6:58 pm)
Who's screaming at you?
Don't leave. Please.
Even if I agree that the CB used to be better. But leaving isn't the solution.
Solving it is.
We need to figure out how to fix this. We need to slow down and take some time to care for our RPs. We need to slow down and ask how everyone is doing. Come on, people!

Certain people approach everything so agressively. They say they aren't afraid to show their flaws, but it's just bad etiquette.
(July 1, 2016 - 9:47 am)
*makes funny noise*
Yeah. I try not to get angry, but you know when you just boil over, and then you can't do anything about it ...?
(July 1, 2016 - 4:34 pm)
I care.
(June 30, 2016 - 10:38 pm)
No! You can't leave S.E.! I think of as part of the glue that holds the CB together. An older friend who offers wise advice, and is always ready to lend a hand. Even in the very short time I've been here, I have noticed all that you do for the CB, and loved reading your posts. I'm sorry if I've upset you in anyway. I know you don't know me very well, but I feel that I know you. I wish I could get to know you. Goodbye, and God bless.
