I realize I've started a lot of stuff recently and not finished it, and I've added a lot to threads which has been poorly-timed or generally unhelpful. I'm tired, and I'm busy, and unfortunately I don't have time to participate in the discussions on here I want to in the way that I want to. I'm getting worn down by the internet and I need my energy elsewhere. I'll be back probably in a few weeks when shit cools down in real life. Having recharged my batteries, it seems likely I'll be more real in my interactions on the board and that will make things better all around.

Yeah, I'll miss you id. You always give me a wealth of stuff to think about and learn from. Thanks, comrade. Take care of you, enjoy your break, and...and come back soon... please? I'll be looking forward to your re-energised return.

Triplets, or id? Because Triplets seemed pretty mad there.

No?

OK, well, I guess I'll be going again.

I'll keep in touch, id. I'm thinking of locking myself out of my suit for a while myself, but I'll probably feel better after a rest.
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
22:42 / 24.08.06
Don't go, Haus. Or at least not for too long. I know I butt heads with you sometimes, but it does help jig my brain, even if you think I'm being a numbskull. (sincerely)

Don't leave, Haus. Who will stop me when I get over the line? Flyboy is not strong enough.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
22:52 / 24.08.06
Oh Megatron, we're all strong enough to stop you. It's just that most of us are a lot lazier than Haus and prefer to spend our time, you know, skipping through open fields, sniffing flowers and singing songs from the musical Hair. And indeed washing our hair.

Although long hair does tend to keep you out of the fights more often than not. You see, it takes longer to properly wash. Particularly if you're partial to a spot of conditioner and a blow dry.

I've added a lot to threads which has been poorly-timed or generally unhelpful.

These things are all relative, id - and in the context of this board, relatively speaking, this statement is simply not true.

It's not even true in the context of this thread.
 
 
paranoidwriter waves hello
23:04 / 24.08.06
Yeah, sorry Haus. I'm gonna go watch, I mean wash my hair.

Peace and love, man.

(Only kidding)

Take care, id. Seeya soon.

Although if there's much more talk of hair-washing, I may bugger off myself. It's madness, I tell you.
 
 
Dead Megatron
23:44 / 24.08.06
Oh Megatron, we're all strong enough to stop you

Oooooh, is that a challenge?

Anyway, Entity, I hope all goes well IRL for you and that you promptly returns to our community

Sometimes a break is a very good thing around here. Rest well, id, and come back soon. But don't let feelings of responsibility to be a 'good poster' stop you from using Barbelith to have some fun and be silly. You don't have to keep track of everything you finish, be helpful or time things well. We all love you anyhow.

A WARRIOR MUST SOMETIMES TAKE REST FROM BATTLE TO REFRESH THEMESELVES, FOR WE ARE MORTALS NOT GODS! BUT A WARRIOR SHOULD REMEMBER THAT ONLY THOSE WHO DIE IN BATTLE SHALL GO TO BARB-HALLA WHERE THEIR SWORDARM SHALL NEVER TIRE, NOR SHALL THEIR BLOODLUST WANE.

HEAR MY TRUTH!

Oh bah. Have a good break, Id, and hurry back.

Ditto.

I tend to count Id's posts amongst those that lend to barbelith as a place to learn something from (as well as it being a classy, upstanding establishment). Thanks, id. Come back to us soon, please!

Haus - if you go, please return soon. You know you belong here. One of us. ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

etc.

I dunno what I'd do on Barbelith if there were no Haus. Though he takes the piss out of me upon occasion, I'd miss him. All things aside, I am fond of Haus. To me, he sort of represents Barbelith.

Along with Flyboy and Stoatie.

Id, enjoy your break and see you soon.

I second the idea that you're someone to learn from on here.

OK. I was supposed to be in da pub by now, but things have been delayed, and in this delay I've been thinking about my relationship with Barbelith. And so, Similar to id, I don't like leaving some of threads hanging *, but I feel I'm getting too emotionally involved (and sometimes drained) in this place, so I'm going to take a break from posting; although I may pop back to read stuff, and I"ll probably have a question or two for the Questions & Answer threads at some point (e.g. I have one about 'They Live' which I'm trying to answer myself at the mo').

Also, I'm aware of the ambiguity of some of my posts, which is (I admit) deliberate at times; and which is why I often litter my posts with parenthesis, caveats, and footnotes when I'm talking about more serious stuff. But then I guess we all do this in some way or another, non?

Whatever, I'm having a "no-posting" break for as long as I think is necessary; but I'll check my PM's every so often, and at times I'll be lurking and (no doubt) laughing.

Love to you all, and I'll read ya real soon.

*I hope, for example, that Tag TV and the Barbelith Universal Declaration of Member Rights turn out positive in some way, and I'm genuinely sorry for passing the buck on these.

I am sorry that all three of you have either gone or feel you might need a break. The board will not be the same without you.

Id, I was going to say that for me your posts make huge amounts of sense out of crazy things a lot of the time and I'm glad when you are posting in threads I am reading, but then I thought about the title of this thread here and I decided not to. That's because you appear to be feeling a large responsibility to the board (and therefore to the people who read it)and I suppose if you are feeling like that then posting is not fun for you. This actually applies to Haus and PW too.

I would imagine that posting on Barbelith as part of 'things one must do' type chores is a hard place to be. It doesn't happen to me because I am not the sort of person capable of educating anyone, but I can see how it would happen to you three. I feel sad that you should end up feeling that and that the board loses people of a lot of value because, in some ways, of the pressure of the board itself.

But anyway.

Please come back soon and send me a postcard letting me know how you're doing.

I'm back!!

I haven't decided yet when to leave but thought I'd get this part of the process out of the way now.
