So maybe you'll not like routemasters in the future?

But... but who'll accept the Routie picture I've nearly finished?!

[quote="diseased"]However, it's also helped me make up my mind as to whether or not I should take a break as well. At first, WP impressed me... the majority of posts were fairly well thought out, grammar wasn't an issue for most of them nor was verbosity. A lot of the posts I see lately are, to put it bluntly, drivel and filled with txt-speak, and those few posts that aren't usually devolve into a flame war within a page or two anyhow. I don't feel that the site is making a difference in my life, sadly. I'm tired of the overgeneralised "All NT's do x" or "All women are x" or "All men are x" posts that not only resolve nothing, they divide us.
Like Cockney, I'm not leaving for good... I just see no point in posting when so many of the threads are inane babble.quote]

You know, I've been feeling the same way lately. I haven't been here as long as you and CR but it seems like here lately there's been a shift in the subject matter of the posts. I hope I worded that right. Things are being shoved out of the main page so fast and, like you said, a lot of it is just inane babble.

I have something there now and I hope it's not considered that. When I posted, I thought it might be to some but I really don't know what to do about the situation and have no where to turn but here.

Cockney, I saw on your other post you decided to stay. I'm really glad you are because you are someone who's been here a long time. Long time posters are like the core of a forum. You're the real thread that holds it together. I didn't reply very much to you in the past because quite honestly, I thought you were a young guy for some reason. You didn't scare me, but I am intimidated by young men. I just thought you wouldn't really care that much for me. I blame my odd thinking on AS.

I just read your post about going to the doctor tonight and only then did I realize you're a woman and close to my age. Then I read you were leaving and quite honestly, it made me a little sad. So I'm glad you've decided to stay. I too however am going to back off from visiting WP but not entirely. Mostly for the reasons mentioned above but sometimes I even feel like I don't fit in here or I post something and then don't feel right about it. I'm sure that's my AS but that's something I have to deal with. So anyway, glad you're staying. Take care.
