No, it does not exist. The roses are in bloom.
That is why we were cleaning until 3 or 4 in the morning. Every single day. For months. Starting from scratch every day.
Because the roses were blooming, and well, just for the fun of it. So we could look at the flowers. 👍
In exchange, what did we receive:
lies, disparagement, spitting, accusations.
People told me I was some male American politician they were going to publicly expose.
They even said they needed to kill me, take me down... and I can't even remember the lesser insults.
I don't know if anyone ever actually said thank you to me.
I think maybe just a few people.
But instead, when things aren't cleaned up or there is a mess, people fall from Mars: asking how on earth it hasn't been cleaned yet.
As if a PDF cleans itself, rather than someone actually doing the work.
Topics are not respected.
Interlocutors are not respected.
Many people don't come here for a civil conversation; they come to proselytize and spread nonsense, intolerance, and insults.
And the worst are the whining "believers."
First of all, the internet can handle anything.
How am I supposed to believe whether someone is a believer or not? Or something else entirely?
How is that even verified?
Then you have this "devout" person writing that Jehovah's Witness are satanic scum.
Yet they constantly complain about how believers are being persecuted.
But the fact that he, this great believer, persecutes others and insults them... that doesn't count???
Apparently not.
Then you have the "great believers" writing that homosexuals are sick, zoophiles, or pedophiles...
Or the "great believers" who hate other great believers and insult each other.
I could write until tomorrow about everything I have witnessed and heard... but it would all be in vain. Because I know that changes didn't happen because people realized how they should behave, but because I handed out so many warnings and bans that they know they will be punished if they post whatever they want.
That is what hurts most... and most of them are older, more mature people.
The average age is around 40.
It makes me wonder, is this a cross-section of the American public, or is it truly this bad.
Is it normal for the average person to mock, insult, and humiliate others?
Apparently, it is.
Ego told me a long time ago not to think that I could make them self-aware or re-educate them.
I somehow thought that if I showed them the right way, they would understand...
I also see that the forum users are either unwilling or unable to cooperate.
Including you.
I told you a long time ago regarding your topic to write a nice introduction and send it to me.
You still haven't.
So what am I supposed to think?
It means it is easy to complain about this or that, but hard to write an introduction for your own thread.
And I won't write it for you out of principle. Because I cannot do everything.
You have to learn what to do and how to do it yourselves. Without me.
So that when I am gone, you can survive on your own and keep the PDF clean.
I could keep writing until tomorrow, you worriers, and I wouldn't finish.
But I think in the end, it doesn't even matter.
Because generally, I feel you don't appreciate what someone does for you.
And you act as if you are doing things for us, rather than us for you.
Because realistically, I don't have to clean.
I don't have to move things to the off-topic section.
Do you understand?
It is my goodwill.
If I wanted to, I could just let it all go... and cause a little chaos every 5 or 10 days.
Do you think anyone would say anything to me?
They wouldn't.
If you don't believe me, we can always test it.
All of this is my goodwill.
And that isn't appreciated.
And that is the worst part of all.
Very few people have ever apologized for the insults and humiliations they directed at others.
Two of them, as far as I recall.
One was a Muslim and one was... I don't know, let's say an unaffiliated believer.
And how much fighting I've endured with rude atheists... for days, for months. If I hadn't been here, they would still be running around disparaging and insulting everyone with rhetoric like "backwater sheep-shaggers, religious zealots, fanatics." Sometimes I think you might have actually deserved it. Because then you would at least have material for complaints. But again, the problem is that I personally cannot live in mess, chaos, disorder, or stupidity... it bothers me. I believe we must always strive for something better.
And after all that effort, not a single soul bothers to say thank you.
Do you honestly think I wouldn't file a complaint?
I suppose we'd just end up in a situation where I'm forced to lodge a formal grievance.
