Lol, this is getting really stupid. Let me attempt to get this over in one post.
Cole : I am not "stirring up drama", I'm making a point. I've long been EXTREMELY critical of people who go all "Mourn, fellow site-members, for you are losing the esteem of my company. I leave tomorrow morn for yonder waters". I've always been "Oh, get a life you silly twat. You're leaving? 'Kay, bye." I wanna quickly note that I realise how important CFs is to many of us, and therefore leaving the site can be VERY hard and emotional. I just think it's shockingly immature for people to hand in their papers when things get mildly icky. It's desperately attention-seeking and frankly, rather pathetic.
That said, I did re-read Jason's post, and to be fair to him, he didn't really go all "Farewell and adieu to you fair Carrie fans", it was more of an "Okay, I give up with you guys. I'm out". For that, I want to apologise to Jason. I didn't at all mean to question your commitment and love for this website, Carrie herself and the rest of us here. I do hope you accept my apology.
Also, I will thank you not to tell me where I can and cannot stick my head. And, to be frank, there really is very little drama. Jason posted something about himself, a bunch of people replied, Antony said what was on his mind, and I said what was on mine. I can say with a positive degree of certainty that Antony really DGAF who follows him on Twitter. Jason doesn't seem distraught that Antony is being chilly. And I'm just casually speaking my mind. Honestly, you're the only one singing of broken hearts, shattered dreams and empty promises. I blame the Adele music
I have a lot that I want to say to you, Cole, but for once, ONCE, I'm stuck for words. You're the first person on CFs that I ever developed an even moderately 'personal' relationship with. I do value our friendship. That said, I really want to caution you against opening your heart so easily. I'm pretty sure I'm closer to Antony than you are, and I definitely do care for him and would certainly be upset if our friendship ended. That said, "I loved you Anthony. I thought the world of you. And it is so disappointing to see my role model talk about one of his 'friends' like this." Really? The fact remains that Antony and I are people on the Internet who you have never met, and likely never will. The only things you know about us are what we choose to show you. You simply cannot get that attached to someone online. I don't mean to sound insensitive to your problems. Trust me, I can relate. I've got a wonderful Dad, but there have been a couple of days in the past year when I have been horribly, HORRIBLY alone. At the risk of getting too personal, I recently spent 3 hours on a recent weekend crying. I frankly don't know why. I was alone. I was sad. I had nothing to do. It was dreadful. I can fully understand why you cherish the people on CFs as much as you do, but please realise that they are still just usernames and profile pictures. Hard fact.
Also, and this is MUCH less important, you do seem a little mood-swingy. I don't know anything about that, so all I can say is think about it!
Becca : I'm just bemused.
Jason : I already apologised to you earlier in this post. Re-reading my post, it does seem rather rude. Like I said, I just lose all respect when people throw those sissy fits and quit over a heated argument. Seeing you post something personal just heightened my distaste. It does, however, appear that you really didn't mean to quit forever and ever amen, and that makes me look at this post very differently. I do hope you get the position, and I will share the post as much as I can. Know too that I have no issue with you. We're hardly close, but you have been perfectly nice to me, and have never once made me mad/sad/upset.
Antony : You're a prick. I adore you.
And, NOW, can I just say that this entire thread, and almost everyone who's posted in it (and I fully include myself in that) looks really, REALLY stupid. Let's all please move on
