Not really a single thread responsible for this. I think people are just trying to unplug from the internet for a bit, since it's getting hard to find any good news out there.Quote:

^Pretty sure it's in the Rat Flu thread but some goof got on her case about being worried about her animals.
Rat Flu thread is more toxic than the actual Rat Flu.
Timberridge, who has also dropped back.Quote:

I’m a bit pissed about that.
It was prolly only a matter of time. Too bad for sure, but to hang here, you really have to have the ability to say fuck off to people and move on.
Slow your roll super chief. TRG thread has differing outcomes depending on underlying condition.Quote:

Not fretting about your absence. In fact, I think you’ve earned a hiatus, at least ‘til KQ returns. So, gfys.Quote:

I apologized, so if you also want to quote the apology feel free.Quote:

If it's a ban-able offense, I invoke the spirit of Hugh Conway and ask the mods to ban me.

This is a little different than the standard “just put me on ignore” situation. Look at it this way: TGR forums are/will be much worse off without KQ’s contributions. I don’t believe you can say the same thing about timberridge, at all. And fwiw, your ‘apology’ came off as snarky. You’re really just a snark-source here IME.Quote:

For your own good, you may need to put me on ignore.
Why don't you pm KQ and find out how she's doing? Maybe she's busy with other stuff?
For the collective’s good, you may need to split.Quote:

On the other hand I don't see the Rat Flu thread as being particularly toxic either, so... I dunno.
Ffs get over it.Quote:

I’ll get over it when KQ’s back. Heh, you can always “put me on ignore.”
Neither do I, but use use the low-tech ignore function of just scroll past.Quote:

Just a little stressed out along with a few hundred other millions of us, so she took a break. She can take care of herself.Quote:

I dont think timberridge meant anything by making the joke. He just took the low hanging fruit and made a joke of it. I think kq was already upset by the peevious posters dig that somehow it was her responsibility yo look after the old guy that called out of the blue looking for a place to crash. I cant remember who that judgemental fuckwit was but it was totally uncalled for. KQ is being the responsible one looking after her mom and animals. If the old guy looking to crash was responsible he'd of had a plan.
Ps: safe to say we all miss that good natured posting of KQ. Hope shes doing ok

Stares Motherfuckerly. I like that.
I'm not sure whether to take a word which doesn't exist as an insult or a compliment. This place confuses me sometimes.Quote:

Hey there - I'm fine, sort of....
For the record while I did quote TR it was cumulative, that is to say not just that one post from just him. I apologize for making it seem as if he was the sole culprit. I do appreciate your apology TR. Perhaps we all need to stop and think that what we see expressed in a post is but a glimpse of the entire picture and that different people have different realities that are just as valid as yours.
I was reacting to not just the posts but to the pressure of trying to figure out how those people and animals for which I am responsible would be cared for were I not able. Add to that news from friends who were testing positive, others who had lost or where losing parents & loved ones and you bake up a big batch of anxiety.
