I'm done

[Babs]

Well, I've been away from this for a few days. I've lurked a bit and read most of the responses to my original post. Anyway, perhaps I over-reacted a bit. However, nothing excuses the shit cougjunkie said. At the base of it all, I got this place all wrong. From the short time I lurked prior to posting I was under the impression this place was far less mormon than it is. Some of you pretend to be more open about it, yet your reactions, for the most part, say otherwise. This place has reminded me what it is I hate so much about that farce of a religion. Nothing I do or say will change that some of you believe you have me pegged as an angry exmo, and you happily dismiss everything I say on those grounds. It was suggested I go to exmormon.org or other places, but the truth of it is that places such as that do not interest me any longer precisely because I am past that anger phase in the exit process. Others have suggested that I do not understand why you don't like me, or that I play the victim card, or that I blame the church for what has happened in my life. I do understand why you do not like me, though we will disagree on whether it is because you are too defensive of your religion or I'm too confrontational. I am a victim of my ex and the abuse that stemmed from her mental disorder. I understand if some of you cannot fathom that one might be affected severely by that, or that some of you may believe it is my fault based on a few months of interaction here. You will be wrong. As for blaming the church, the church is not without blame for many things, but it is not the primary cause of bad shit in my life, that would be my ex. Of course, some of you will believe I make the church a focal point of my rage and anger, but it only appears so. In truth, I rarely think about the church, except in relation to my family. When interacting with mormons, of course it will appear it is all I can think of, not because it is all I think of, but because from the perspective of that interaction it was a key point. The truth of the matter is that for the typical cougar fan, religion is inseperable from football or life. It's sad.

So, I will not be hanging around here. I do not need to be reminded what I have left behind. The prospect of not being around this place has been nice and that is all the reason I need to stop hanging around.

Don't worry, I won't let the door hit me on the way out.

Alright, who had three days? Damnitalltohell I should have taken the over.

I think you've got this place all wrong. If you were able to adopt a bit more of a live-and-let-live attitude, you would find a lot of people interested in you and your story.

I'm not really interested in your religious views, but I don't subject you to mine either. You do like CoD, so we have some common ground there. But you play on PS3 (strike one), come off as a know-it-all in a community full of really good players (strike two), and you apparently camp in corners boosting your K/D in Domination (strike 3). So I guess we'll never be friends.

But I wish you well, and if time takes some of your edges off, I'm very confident that you'll be welcomed back here. People like redemption stories.

I also wonder how many BMs you are getting asking you to stick around. My guess is they are coming and I bet I could nail who is sending them.

And you wonder why you create conflict and people interpret you as anti-Mormon .

Hmm, I can't imagine why

Nothing I do or say will change that some of you believe you have me pegged as an angry exmo, and you happily dismiss everything I say on those grounds.

It really is a big leap you seem to think we are making.

You know what sounds good for dinner? enchiladas. I've been craving enchiladas.

Better make sure you have some cream of chicken soup at home, don't want to build up a craving only to not have all the ingredients.

Que sabrosa!

WTF? Don't ever say another word about my Fritos again, mister.

LOL. "Traditional" enchiladas. They're grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

[TripletDaddy]

What do you guys put on your enchiladas? You don't top with corn flakes?

I follow the directions on the Old El Paso box.

I thought Old El Paso was tacos? I also enjoy hard shell tacos but only if they are done the right way.

Did you ever got to Diego's over by Macey's in Provo? They hard-fried their shells around a form so that they came out sort of "hard shelled." The stuff inside wasn't amazing, but they had the shells down pat.
