Jabberwocky isn't a person? I'm confused...Jabberwocky
Maybe just simply, in natural course, time for a little reinvention my friend?I cause too many problems when I drink and honestly, in my gut, it just feels like the right thing to do right now.
My situation has not improved at all, it's getting worse. BL might have something to do with that. Not BL itself, but how I use it.

That's quite correct. Think of it as a sort of temporary "catch all" account. almost like a "Recycle Bin". Posts are "moved" to that account (not deleted). Probably a bad analogy i.e. once moved to the account they cannot be unmoved It's really only necessary because there is no way to delete your own account nor any way to bulk delete all of you own posts (threads started by you are not an issue as you can delete your own threads easily and all of you own posts in said threads are also deleted).Jabberwocky isn't a person? I'm confused...
That's easier said than implemented. I suppose there's an alternative; just make sure to "unwatch" threads that you've been active on do you don't receive notifications (or simply turn off the automatic watching of threads that you've been active on).If this is all because of the utter stupidity in some of the more politicized threads, remember one thing… Just ignore them! I drop in occasionally to say my word but never go back to look at the responses that would obviously only serve to rile me up and take what would be a good day and turn it into a bad one.

Much too early for these questionsThat's quite correct. Think of it as a sort of temporary "catch all" account. almost like a "Recycle Bin". Posts are "moved" to that account (not deleted). Probably a bad analogy i.e. once moved to the account they cannot be unmoved It's really only necessary because there is no way to delete your own account nor any way to bulk delete all of you own posts (threads started by you are not an issue as you can delete your own threads easily and all of you own posts in said threads are also deleted).
In just thinking about this while typing the above: what would happen if an account was simply deleted (same way as the spammer accounts are deleted). It that were an option then surely there's be no need for the Jabberwocky account no?
That's easier said than implemented. I suppose there's an alternative; just make sure to "unwatch" threads that you've been active on do you don't receive notifications (or simply turn off the automatic watching of threads that you've been active on).
But then I have to ask myself: if somebody isn't interested in reading responses then what's the point of posting really?
Depending on which discussions or arguments or debates you get into: a platform such as this can be every bit as toxic as any other social media (only difference is that you're not receiving "push notifications in real time' such as the likes of FB and Twitter (albet that notifications for either can be disabled) which is pretty much the same thing as ensuring that you're not watching any threads I guess).
Anyways. If the OP has deemed it necessary to put some distance between himself and the goings on here then why not i.e after over 12 000 posts and membership since early 2020 I can only assume that mentally there's a good reason. He'll not be the first and certainly not the last i.e. I know of more than a few who have dissappeared on the quiet and for good and valid reasons only to come back fighting.
The voice of reason as usual!It’s true it’s not easy but nothing worth doing is usually very easy. The alternative to me seems much worse, I’m a pretty happy dude and I’d like to keep it that way
I see zero issue with posting and not going back to look. It allows for alternative viewpoints when lately there seems to be a dominating narrative and I already know the responses to be said because they’re the same tired fearful words I’ve read time and again.
Your right a place like this can get every bit as toxic, hence why I do my best to not engage in it. I’m not perfect either and get frustrated now and then with what I see but then I remind myself I’m in control of my emotions and flip to something actually drug related to take up my time. I see a lot of folks making these topics to be the molehill they die on. Pick your battles people it’ll save a lot of energy and heart ache.
I agree though in the end you know you best @Negentropic whatever you gotta do man I’ll understand.

What kind of a voice are you mr. dalpat?The voice of reason as usual!![]()
I had to think about that one so figured I’d just use the first words hat came to mind. Probably an “angry” and “frustrated” voice. And which I’m guessing comes through in my posts clearly but not on purpose and not as a direct result of my participation here either. Thanks to this pandemic and all the time I’ve had on my hands to take an interest in things I may not have bothered with before I do honestly believe I’ve become sort of enlightened and knowledgable about things outside of my comfort zone and previously cocooned existence. AndBL has been instrumental in that. Just feels like a waste right now should anything untoward happen.What kind of a voice are you mr. dalpat?
Maybe... But you do balance it all out by dishing out (laughing) likes and posting laughing smileys, it's a quality strategy.I had to think about that one so figured I’d just use the first word that came to mind. Probably the “angry” and “frustrated” voice.
Good points too. I remember getting way too emotionally invested in my first few HR posts but there were not that many and those posts and interactions are now gone long time ago as deleted by me. Found myself worrying nights about individuals that I didn’t know from a bar of soap and would never meet and that I’m all probability lived half way across the globe anyway and then concerned about input that I’d given having been new at this HR thing at the time.The thing with posting regularly on BL is that you need to have just the right amount of not-caring
