Post I just self banned myself from EVERY yo-yo forum...
Besides this one, of course.

Changed the e-mail addresses on every account, then changed the passwords to a random series of characters that I could never memorize, and then changed the password on the new e-mail addy to random letters and numbers as well. So now there is absolutely no way for me to be able to access those boards again, unless I create a new screen name. That's not gonna happen though. I'm seriously burnt out on the yo-yo forums at this point.

After everything that has happened on the boards as of late, I've come to the realization that I don't really like most of the people on the internet. I'm sure that the feelings towards me are mutual for a lot of yo-yo players as well. It's cool. I can dig it. But in person, at a contest, these differences will most likely be forgotten. Still, there is just something about the internet that brings about passive-aggressive behavior in people that I just can't stand. So I'm done.

A wise man once said "practice more, post less". Well, now it's time to live by that rule. 8-)

Smaller forums are definitely the way to go.

And regardless of all the problems I've had with people on the other forums, I know that it will all be forgotten when we get to hang out in person. I'm just not going to play along with the childish internet games that people like to play. It isn't worth my time.

LOL, I was wondering why you hadn't created any new threads at the other forum lately. I rather enjoyed the debates, I know we didn't see eye to eye a lot but I got respect for you since your not afraid to voice your opinion.

The feeling is definitely mutual. Differing opinions on subjects like religion and politics are a petty reason to dislike someone.

But still, I was wasting my time by creating and participating in those threads. There are much more productive things that I could be doing with my time instead, like Final Cut and Photoshop. Also, once I get my hands on Adobe CS4(which should be fairly soon), I am going to have a bunch of new programs to learn. Figuring out vector art in Illustrator is going to be soooooo much fun.

Speaking of computer programs, I have some chopping to do...
