Am I Stupid?

Hey folks how’s it going
If you have been living under a rock over the past week regarding the news thread and you might know over the past few days a few people said that my news is not news related, I might let it slide but I personally don’t find it quite that appropriate with the attack so I decided to take action to ask nicely to stop, now I do hold my hands and said that probably wasn’t the way to go I should have probably gone behind closed doors and done it but it just keeps getting worse and to be honest I think the community thing I am an idiot and I should been on the forum, but the thing is I am already stressed out from junior Cycle State Exams and the Holiday prepare only make me stressed more.
So I’m I am idiot?

Hey mate!
Firstly, I don’t like it when someone calls themselves “stupid” or an “idiot”. That just detracts from your self-worth, and I believe that it is not necessary. Secondly, as far as I’ve seen, usually your posts do in fact correlate with the News thread. The comments regarding your ‘unrelatedness’ could’ve been phrased slightly better, but I believe it was for the good of the forum in terms of keeping topics nice and tidy. I, alongside a few others, appreciates your honesty and reflection on how you handled the situation. You are one of the forum’s most active members and some members appreciates your news stories, so don’t let this discourage you. All you’ve got to think about is whether your post is relevant to the thread or not. If not, maybe find a way to make it relevant. E.g. The poll; writing some news in relation to the poll, then asking on behalf of the ‘airline’. (IMO, it seems alright since it technically carries the story of your airline).

Again, you are a valued member of the community and a very enthusiastic contributor, so just because you have had a few mistakes, that doesn’t make you any lesser of a decent human being. You can always learn from it. Even I make mistakes every once in a while, too; we all do.

All the best in your exams, and Happy Flying! :smiley:

P.s As a student who is currently undergoing my final year of high school, I truly understand your stress during the exam period. For the future, try not to be too overly stressed about external factors (including school assessments) because in the end, you will feel less stress in the lead up to them, and you can give it your all!

Due to what’s going on right now, I’m making the decision to quit the forum indefinitely. I will still be looking at the forum but I don’t think the forum is for me so this is the reason I’m quitting, just over a year on the forum its now at an end.
Goodbye…

I don’t get why your doing this. Yes there has been arguments and such but. Your a big part In the forum.
Don’t quit unless your really really sure

I’m going to give my honest opinion

I am very very stupid on the forum hence why quitting the forum is my only option, I feel like everyone is starting to hate me after sharing my opinion, I think I should get punished and I think quitting the forum is my only option. I really don’t want to be here anymore because of all the crap I have done over the past year.
I’m going to leave now and I am never ever coming back ever again.

Goodbye.

I’m putting my moderator cap on here and I’m going to be blunt, as the amount of issues I’ve seen crop up which include yourself is quite the list.

  1. The biggest issue with a lot of your posts seems to boil down to 1 of 2 things. Either that your opinion is the only way to go, and everyone should follow that (Let’s take the Israir A320 as an example) and you getting argumentative over people not liking your opinion, which they are entitled to. The second one I see a lot with yourself is overlooking pretty obvious jokes and causing a massive deal from nothing. Here we can refer to the absolute train wreck that was the Let-410 thread and the how dare you joke earlier this week.
  2. When something doesn’t go your way, even if it doesn’t go against the rules you flag a post. On a lot of occasions they have been meaningful flags, but I don’t know what you expect us moderators to do about someone not agreeing with you.
  3. This is an obvious one on the forum which has evidently been getting on people’s nerves, and that’s the I’m quitting tantrum which comes out whenever someone confronts you or you’re told to stop doing something. People aren’t telling you to get on at you, they are telling you to keep things peaceful and make you consider what you’ve done so you can move forward.

I’m going to leave it there, but having the same issues crop up despite your numerous time outs for them in the past for these very reasons doesn’t seem to have sunk in to you. I don’t dish out time outs for fun, but to make people reconsider the way they’ve acted and make them see the wrong in their ways so they can take the feedback onboard and return refreshed.

I feel like @ukplanespotter757 sums it up perfectly. No one hates you for giving your options, people just don’t like it when you start attacking others who disagree with you. I doesn’t help when after people call you out for this you make a quitting post, (before I say this I am not saying you should actually quit, i don’t mean that and hope you will please stay) when you make a quitting post only to then come back it comes off less as a sorry but more as a way to create sympathy for yourself

Kindest regards, happy flying

I remember feeling the same way once when i also lost my mind over my news mess and thinking i went too far ever since a couple of weeks after i joined the forum.I too felt like leaving the forum,even forever.By that point i thought everyone turned on me too.

But then,people like you came to support me on my matter,so i’m gonna do the same.If there’s anything you want to apologize for,i forgive you.

Just like you said,please don’t leave,we will all miss you.

Yes,yes,i know,i know,it’s deep and the drama is over,but i brought it up just in this case.And also i know what has been happening outside of this news mess,it’s just that i am not drama hungry.

I’m sorry (Please Read)

I don’t know where to start but I’m sorry to everyone where I was acting like an Idiot and being aggressive to everyone, I should have also told of the benefits instead of negatives of joining an alliance and starting a meltdown about it.
Would also like to apologise to @OrangeAir for being aggressive to him about the alliance and anger I used and @ukplanespotter757 for burning disproportionate amounts of his time, maybe I shouldn’t had made a threat to quit the forum and all the other drama I did on the forum and move on. I should just be there looking and not start any backlash from this point on. I am probably the worst member on this forum and probably shouldn’t joining the forum in the first place.

Such an embarrassing post I have to put but I hope you can understand my side of the story.
