If they did ask that, it wasn't straightforward enough that I caught that.

To be fair, there were a lot bloated posts that were just generally disgruntled but didn't make any specific demands.

Is that why Lanny was being so brutal in this thread? Well if it makes him feel better, if I ever do it again he won't be included then.
And no one asked to be on it either. If taking a person's comments made in the heat and emotion of a hockey game, and twisting them into a moment of shame, gets you off in some way, that's on you. It's a dick move and will prevent some people from participating in the game threads and being themselves. What is really obnoxious and annoying is that YOU deem yourself to be judge, jury, and executioner of this broad public shaming. You're a "mean girl" and don't understand that not all people are going to see this as "fun", just like you fail to see the objectification of women in zamler's schtick. The fact this doesn't resonate with you is where I have a problem. I really don't give a #### about what you do with my posts so long as they are represented accurately, fairly, and maintain context, because context matters. Your WOS garbage eliminates context and is just an opportunity for YOU to proclaim that YOU are a better fan than the people YOU pick for public derision. No debate, no explanation, just a public execution.

Often times, taking a break from the internet and social media is a much needed action and can be good for the mind - especially if the discussions and opinions can become too consuming, and this board is no exception.

Return to nature for a while, you won’t regret it!
This is how you do it. Just walk away and take a breather. No need to make public pronouncements. Just take your break and let the community go on. I've seen some of the great posters of this forum just disappear and the community has gone on without them. No need for proclamations or going out with a bang, just moving on, because they knew they were not bigger than the community and they respected that.
