Mountain Time afternoon thread brought to you by FCS CFBBalls

Here it is. I'll fix any typos that may be in here.

I've debated posting this as it may make people feel uncomfortable, might not put me in the best light, and cause some downvotes. But, in order to avoid future drama and to get things out in the open so they can be resolved, I think it may be good to say this.

The whole argument that happened a couple days ago on here still has me down. It isn't the argument itself because I feel like I've cleared up that confusion pretty well and have apologised for my poor wording of things and how I responded.

What concerns me is the way people reacted to it initially. Without anyone asking me to clarify what I meant, I was viciously verbally attacked. If I wanted to be verbally abused like that, I would still be with my wife.

It concerns me that people decided to say and do the nasty things they did and that they think it's an appropriate reaction. I don't think it's a good thing to refer others to what I posted on selfie and follow threads and use that against me. That even made me feel a bit unsafe. Since I freely posted those things in the appropriate threads, I'm not sure if it violates the sub rules against doxxing.

I've been uncomfortable and feel unwelcome about posting here since. I've gotten some wonderful words of support from some great people telling me to not worry about it. But, the people who said and did these things are people that post regular things and are normally very warm and lovely people.

I understand people say things in the heat of anger. It's human to do so. But, I'm concerned that that there are many out there that stayed silent, but agreed with those that were posting and hope I really do die alone and miserable. I have no doubt I will, but I'd like to spend a little bit of my life amongst a community that I like without feeling unwelcome, uncomfortable, and hated amongst the members. I already went through middle and high school, so I don't need to have those feelings again.

I haven't been a poster here for a huge amount of time, but I've always felt as if my contributions to shitposting were welcomed and appreciated. I want to feel like that again.
