Paradigm Shift Ambassadors : Forum : Goodbye


Goodbye

11 Years Ago


I'm writing this thread to explain why I'm leaving this group.

For the last couple of weeks I was dragged into all kinds of flame wars for defending what I believe. But I refuse to be dragged into another for something I do not.

I took part in the first flashmob round. My review was appreciated. I did  not take part in the second one, because I considered quite inglorious.

And then our well-known antagonist struck a common chord, and again I was dragged into defending the "cause".

When I think of it, I have lost too much time of my own on this matters, time I sorely need.

I'm not a writing machine, and I'm certainly not under-reviewed proportionally to most here. Therefore, this actions simply wouldn't affect me in a overall manner.

I've ceased to care about faux honours such as "Top Writer" or "Top Reviewer". I come here to post my work and share with people who have earned my admiration. This list, however, is getting shorter by the second.

I will not be dragged into another conflict by defending the very same hypocrisy I condemn in others.

And so, I bid you adieu.

Princeps, you are awesome, and you will never be anything other than your own person. You are not a follower, and I just wanted to let you know I have a lot of respect for you, your writing, and your honor code.
