The saddest bit is I have seen this before

BULLSHIT. You know this is far from the truth. When the above "I'M LEAVING FOREVER" Appears, you know you just have to wait 45* seconds before they come back.


*Time is exaggerated for comedy's sake. ;)

Dude, total exaggeration. It's never THAT long before they return.

i see what you did there

Awww, it's like when a teenager says they're gonna run away or kill themselves because their parents won't let them out past 11pm.

Best analogy I've heard for a long time!

I hate people saying "welp".

xD People are generally stupid like that.

Youse British... me too xD And I agree with you. America's way worse though.

in America unfortunately its the opposite wear that can get you bulletproof tires and spinning golden rims. i am lucky to live in Canada, a country that is quickly surpassing America in like ability and just general equality and freedom.

But we still use 'welp' a lot.

But never "youse". Unless we're incredibly drunk and trying to say "You lose."

I use that too! But only ironically. Of course. Yeah.

hates the word "welp"

uses the word "youse"

Youse mugs got a problem wi' that? :fedora: :zootsuit:

Wow, 'welp' must be a trigger word for you or something, you're being quite dramatic about it.

then stay out of the south, its part of the dialect, if anything how they say well

I'm from the Caribbean, the south have nothing on us, but we can easily understand southerners

maybe it cause too many folks follow the north's way of thinking of: "Dialect sounds weird, they must be idiots"

no that is a problem.

I'm from the north and even I say "welp."

I think that having a dialect,use of slang, and accent helps differentiate people from one another more easily. Forcing our selves to speak "properly" hides who we are or where we lived from each other.

Yup, I agree.

Huh. Thank God you don't live in MD, the way we pronounce our O's would drive you insane, hon. They sound like "EHhhhhhhhhō".

If you judge a person's intelligence by their manner of speaking, then you're going to have quite the wrong impression of people.

And yet- it's still based on something entirely unfounded and kind of dumb in and of itself..

it is. almost everyone in my area uses Welp, wut, and a slew of other slang, and almost none of them are stupid. stupidity has to do with opening your mouth and spewing generalized unfounded beliefs. you're like my grandmother 'all african americans are gang bangers, druggies, and robbers' no. just. no. simple use of slang is not considered stupidity, and i really hope you change your way of thinking. I doubt you personally know EVERYONE where and around where you live, so y es, it's unfairly generalized.

WELP.

People like you actually piss me off royally..

Assuming they are smart, cultured, educated people with this essence of grandeur over other plebeians that just litter their path.

I'm scouse, I don't have the stereotypical strong accent but I am well spoken; I use plenty of slang, colloquialisms (the correct term) and irish slang.. it's called culture or personality and normally socially viable and intersecting people use it to be normal.

It grinds my tits when other Englishmen and women assume they are smarter than others just based on appearance, taste, tone, dialect or area whereas they are 26 and live with their parents in a semi detached in Dorset. I'm 21 have a law degree, went to the top college in my area and guess what.. I speak like a common as muck peasant!

I can tell full well you're one of those "I'm too smart to fail an exam types" and perpetually underachieved and failed in their education; assuming they were above the medial and pedantic tests created by "idiot" gouvernment bodies..

Fuck that, I made an account solely to point out the idiotic quegg here that his assumptions and delusions of grandeur are the reason he's a lonely lonely human being with a social life that only exists online.

so you hate the south, specially since its just "well" in creole/broken english

I can't see why it should replace "well" when people speak perfectly coherent english.

Well, it is a colloquialism. It's not formal language. We all use 'em.

Thank you for knowing the difference between that and a "buzz word."

It doesnt replace "well" it is "well" for broken english and Creole

go ask a person from the Caribbean islands to say three, 90% of the time it sounds like Tchree or tree, its how they say three, just like how in the south they tend to say well like welp. Its not a buzzword, its how its enunciated, its the dialect. Thats why I said "you must hate the south" its the same reason the same word can sound differently in different areas.

Oh my gosh THANK YOU for typing that.

I wonder if "idear" is sort of like those words too. I know quite a few people who said it as "idea" but I've always heard it as "i-deer" and so do a lot of people in my area. Everyone usually points it out and it's supposedly funny to say idear.

... welp.

whelk

You are my hero.

Welp,sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Oh you. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20487813/om.....ssoawesome.PNG

(bows)

you traitor.

Inorite? 'Scuse me, I must go blow up the nation nao. LOOSE THE GIANT BATS!

Hah hah, remember when I was a 'traitor' too? woo, good times. :)

Did he get on you too?

heh, sort of, it was a silly thing going on in one of your yahoo groups I think. People were asking a hypothetical question of :"Who would you leave behind on an exploding spaceship." I was chosen to be left behind. So I was jokingly call folks 'traitorous bastards'. Steve (I believe it was steve) took it quite seriously and was telling me why he was not and so on. you even came in and told him it was a joke and that I had even put 'smiley faces' at the end of my 'rage posts'.

Dude needs some kind of help.

OMG of all the things I'm pissed about losing those Yahoo groups that section of posts I miss the most. I remember that. That was officially the first time I literally be it on the internet or in real life, cursed somebody out.

I regret missing THAT, man.

Welp that must suck

Silence, whelp!

welp

Welp, I hate people who hate on other people's speech patterns. <:3c

Good lord - the rampant immaturity boggles the mind.

...and now I'm up to speed. Having read screencaps of this fellows journal responses.


I can only repeat: "Good lord - the rampant immaturity boggles the mind."

It really does.

The Handy Pocket Furry-English Phrasebook:

Furry says, "I'm leaving FA forever!"

They really mean, "See you next week!"

Amazing. In the sense that I am amazed that this actually happens.

Actually a true friend would respect the other friend's decision to leave and not try and keep them in an environment that would make them uncomfortable or unwelcome. I see your point here and I agree with it entirely... I've had 4 people do this is the last 3 years and 3 out of 4 of them were actually quite mature about it, only had one of them ream me for not trying to keep them around.

I couldn't laugh because this happens so often that the comedy has turned into pity and, well, growing intent to want to kill someone or something.

A grown ass-man

Be glad we're only seeing them from the shoulders-up.

We should all probibly just butt out of the issue

That's probably the best choice in the end.

You bums should really just end this early, before you become the butt of the joke

Now that's just assinine

sounds like your still rearing to go

Oh, poop. I can't think of any butt puns.

You mean we rectum all already?

i sphincter done

Sorry, im a little behind on the replying. I think I can squeeze one more out however.

I also read XKCD.

You can't harvest them until they're ripe, you know.

"I'm leaving forever!" "Hi I'm back!"

Its the furry version of eternal recurrence. It has happened before and will continue to happen again. :)

is that why I always think to myself, "sweet fucking jesus, not again" whenever I read a "goodbye FA" post?

hahahaah I think I know who this is based on XD

You'd BETTER.

I know who this is.

The sad thing is, you're right. He will be back.

This is like the tenth time he's done this.

I'm actually beginning to think that he actually gets off on whining about himself.

It's called "attention whore"

And basically, yes, he gets off by pretending to leave and reading all the "don't go!" posts from his "supposed" friends.

Sad part is, he's a durned good inker with a top-notch work ethic, from all accounts. But the attention whore part of his personality (coupled with a highly inflated self image, an ego the size of Atlanta and near nil sense of humor) is SO SCREAMING LOUD that it drowns out everything else.

Ah, well.

It's like a fly landing in an otherwise delicious bowl of soup.

Ruins all the good there.

Yus.

Did he block you on his way out? He blocked me just as he LEFT FOREVER. XD

Dunno. Haven't been interested enough to try. He did delete my reply to his farewell post.

Don't worry; they have screencaps!

Good, good.

He's a decent inker with horrible professionalism.

I sit corrected.

"This is like the tenth time he's done this."

Which is why FA should have a rule that pulling the "leaving Internet brb" over and over is a bannable offense.

A three strikes system would work for that. Third time you're leaving FA forever, we ensure that you are, in fact, never coming back to that account. :D

Yabbut in his case, he'd consider that a 'victory'. Face it, the guy needs help.

He can consider it a "victory" all he wants. He's in his own little fantasy world where he's the one who's always right, macho, manly tough guy and artist with talents that make gods envy him. He needs a good wake-up slap.

I dunno. He may be beyond that stage. (sigh) Pity, too.

You just described a good number of artists on FA, it's uncanny.

A lot of people don't realize that art, is a life long quest to forever improve, no matter how good you get, someone is always better, and there's always something you need to improve.

Also alot of people don't realize that art isn't a dick comparing contest of photoshop layers,moneyshots,and empty platitudes between you and some veteran wares merchant, so no matter how much you struggle with 'drawing on par with the pros' to get attention, someone will put a little more life, a little more heart,and a little more love into their work and not get noticed at all. Cheers.

That is true ^^ I hadn't really heard it put that way before. i just want to create the way something looks in real life. I've managed to do so at times, but recently my abilities have died out a little, i need to get back into practicing daily.

Perhaps a friendly suggestion, but instead of trying to replicate reality as it is detail by detail..use the foundations of visual art principles to build on your own style so you can capture or express the essence of 'feel' of something realistic as opposed to being a human camera or copying machine. The demand I see often for art nowadays to be 'realistic' shows me a good number of people..be it the artist themselves or even appreciators/consumers of said art have little 'imagination', and by needing it to be plausible or grounded in a sense of realism because they don't really have the cognitive resources to explore or expand upon new ideas IE: artists nowadays are too self conscious about being 'artists'.

Oh no, i didn't mean it to be EXACTLY like real life, just to fool the human mind into percieving it as real. you only need about forty percent of overall detail in a painting to make it realistic. what i need to work on, is anatomy and perspective. I took fifteen years of tutoring from a painter in my home town, and two years of college painting classes. I developed my own style by using layers and picking out what i perceived as the needed details. My autism makes it hard for me to really be able to copy anyone, I don't see or think things the same way others do. I'm only well spoken because i have a high-functioning mind despite the autism.

I actually made a "leaving" post for FA once but a year later I came back. My initial leave was because of all the notes that were leaked and I was sort of worried about the privacy, and the wonderful things dragoneer said in notes.

I realized if I cared about the administration I probably wouldn't be on deviantart either :s

I don't. Because I know too many names that'd fit it!

Now I want to watch Hook again.
SMEE IM ABOUT TO COMMIT SUICIDE

A+

I think of that scene so many times when people post stuff like this on the internet.

"Smee, you better get up off your arse..."

This guy is always amazing

I know who this is, and just wish he really really would just go go go forever. He is mostly hated, and mostly ignored. He is a goddamned cartoon. I wish deleting your FA was possible.

Whiny journals, gotta love 'em. I get those all the time, they annoy they heck out of me. x.x

I know there was an incident long ago on here, when this girl posted a journal saying she was gonna commit suicide because no one on here liked her or her stuff.

about 30 comments later in that journal she posts another journal saying she is now not commiting suicide now because people she's never met before suprisingly were against her ending her life over something so stupid. I sometimes wonder if she'd have actually done it if no one commented.

We can only hope.

Maybe she really just needed to feel like people cared, and some faceless internet strangers did that for her?

I've seen this a ton of times, even from grown women, and worse, from people who aren't drama whores.

One artist I really liked and talked to often did something like this. She didn't have an ounce of drama in her and was always a really cool person. Then she posted a journal about swallowing a ton of pills and by the time people read her journal, she'd be dead. For over a year, there was no activity on her account at all. Then... one day she showed up again. Embarrassed over the whole incident, but alive and well.

From what I've been told, truly suicidal people never tell anyone they will actually go through with it. It's always a surprise. So, when people actually say they will kill themselves, I don't worry. It's the people who post really depressing and apathetic journals that need help.

That's horrible! If I was one of her friends I would have been genuinely worried, it's purely a publicity stunt, a cry for attention without considering just how serious something like that can be taken. I agree that I never pay attention to them when people say it anymore, but damn, people need to realise there are other ways of making friends than saying "love me or I will die"

Well, she did have some horrible family problems and her boyfriend just "disappeared", so it wasn't just to get attention. It did piss me off, though. You don't play games with people like that.

But still... I've never heard of a person openly announce that they will kill themselves and then actually do it.

I love this guy's art, it's like he's got trapped in the mid 80s.

I'm really glad i don't know any ass men.

From the point of view of a remotely interested third-party pretty much the worst part of this sort of crap is trying to figure out who exactly is dramaleaving.

>_> _right_

Makes me wish there was a "furry drama wiki"

Keep track of everything

https://www.encyclopediadramatica.se

Heyooooo

=u= It's not as invasive as I'd like

heheheheheh

This is a joke right

=u= nope

I wanna get all up in EVERYONE'S business

well at least if something funny is happening

wa ha ha ha ha

Uh have at it then I guess, ED was a collection of pretty much the least funny people the internet had to offer at the time

Godspeed you wild child

Would http://tgfb.net/drama/ work for you? :3

@u@ Until something better comes along, I'll _take it!_

You mean he was a fully sized ass-man? Sounds legit.

So round. So firm. So fully-packed. So easy on the draw.

...I need to watch Hook again 8D

Hook, or the old animated Peter Pan? The title made me think of Disney's old Peter Pan production moreso than Hook. Which is that line actually from, though?

It's from the Robin Williams movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUx8NEbsIa8

So good X3

Feeling the need to announce a departure betrays a lack of seriousness. When people truly want to leave, they just leave.

Pure freaking win. I wuvs you, Pie.

You are a cool bro.

Aw, shucky-darn.

The part that makes me laugh is I have I have friend who say they're "not like other furries"

=u= and then they pull this shit

I am amazed at how much more mature 14 year olds on this site can be in comparison to a good portion of the adult users.

10 mins huh.... Well 10 mins or not I feel like really captured a moment here LAWL

So very true... Also, love the Hook quote for the title.

This happens so often that

Oh cool there's a left-hand drive Mini Cooper outside, looks to be late 70s, early 80s model. I wonder who owns it?

I've seen this happen before, and I love you for making fun of it.

I just love it when someone thinks that their departure from FA or the fandom is something that should be met with chaos and people crying and trying to encourage them to stay. XD People like this seem to think that their presence is the only reason their friends even stay on FA.

Reminds me of that 80s song 'Someone is Always Watching Me..'

Hook is one of my favorite movies. I have the tape, DVD, and Bluray. The Bluray is glorious.

I kind of like to be ridiculous in real life

only because I find real life to be ridiculous.
So fuck the world. I can be anything I want to be
So I choose to be a giant robot samurai luchador.

This man has obviously chosen a less noble form of exaggeration.

You said fuck the world.

I thought of this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZjXXcsLl1A

>true friends trying to keep you around.
Two problems. A.) someone like that doesn't have friends, I can almost guarantee it. B.) if they were true friends, they'd be happy if you were happy, i.e. leaving.

I don't have enough duct tape to reattach my ass after having laughed it off so many times.

I still remember the journal this one was referring to.

If they were true friends, they probably have you on an instant messenger, or are going with you to the other place you're going.

Furries are stupid.

In other unrelated news, Planters Wicked hot chipotle peanuts mysteriously vanish from local walmart.

Local area walmart manager had this to say:
"I can't see you over this giant pile of angry letters from one patron who is unusually pissed off."

True friends will try and stop you from leaving FA.

True adversaries will leave benign messages to send you off.

Oh man, this guy....what makes me feel uneasy is that he's as old as my dad yet acts like a manchild.

To add on this: I've been following this guy's shenanigans for a while, and quite honestly I grew curious. When he made his first "leaving FA journal" I went to honestly ask him why. I was like "I'm rather curious.....why would you think the entire fandom is a group ran by some shady Illuminati wannabes who want to get rid of you?" His reply? "Narrr, you're not curious, you're just revelling in the fact I am leaving."

What.
The.
FUCK.
?

I talk to you for the first time, you talk to me for the first time, and you act like I'm one of "those enemies out to get you"? Man's ego and paranoia levels are off the charts. He also has this need to call everyone who talks back at him as "darn youngsters", like just because he's "the member of Olde Furry Front" he's always right.

So... what you're saying is... he either needs to get on some meds, or up them, because he's delusional, paranoid, and combative.

Maybe some sedatives will work.

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/7gng/

He's EXTREMELY delusional and egoistic.

One example: http://tgfb.net/drama/res/2840.html#3217

Man, he must have NO LIFE whatsoever... =\

And he's and OLDER man, he should KNOW better. Sigh.

He's married if I remember correctly, that's what also baffles me =I How can a man like that still function socially--?

Good fuckin' question

apparently his ethics (is that the right word) do not apply to the internet.

That thread made my day. Thanks

Try working with him on a project...

Yeah, I read your little story on Freehaven's board, couldn't help but laugh (not at you, but at him). Dude's got some serious issues.

It's hard feeling any sympathy for a homophobic dramaqueen looking for nothing but sycophants. Good riddance, I say.

shmee what are you doing shmee get off your ass and stop me

I'm guessing Addlesee had another round of boistrous self-wankery?

DING DING DING!

I was wondering how far down the page I could go before someone called the lunatic out by name.

Surprisingly far, really.

haha XD when I saw strange-fox's comment about the perpetrator "seeking sycophants" I knew it could only the ol' addle.

That's because we're all sweet, honest, good folk here, DAMMIT.

<Boris Badenov> YOU SAID IT!!! </Boris Badenov>

Lol, that's all huh? I was wondering if there was some good drama going around but it's just same ol' Addlesee.

jokes on them! They have to reupload their stuff!

I know who you're talking about, I know what situation you're talking about, AND I LOVE YOU FOR THIS, PIE! 83

You make the best furry caricatures.

And welp-guy was one of the few people that could actually stand the guy. Does he try to burn EVERY bridge or just the ones in reach? 9_6

All of them, and then turns around and says it was those people that betrayed HIM. He has such burning need to have someone to fight against, he'll turn his own friends into enemies for himself.

This sounds like a potentially fun movie. We can call it the 53-Year Old Tween.

That's an insult to tweens. :|

So it would seem. Oh, well. I bear him no ill will, just some confusion.

I think you mean "Oh, welp." :}

Heh. :D

You're a far nicer guy than I would be. (Er, but I would be a girl. You get it.)

Aw, gawrsh. I tend to make allowances for artistic temperament, you see, particularly if the artist has done stuff I like.

'Welp guy' is one of the most chill, friendly people on the site. The idea of ANYONE blowing up at him, especially after a message like that, is ridiculous.

He has to be super chill, with maximum ranks in patience. :C

Hehe, you said "grown-ass-man".
"assman"
teehee

Let me get my stoopid monkey paddle

why does it feel like I've seen a picture like this before? LOL

These people never cease to amuse me.

Obviously, you are just an adversary. :B

Too bad you can't sell the movie rights, cos Pixar could really make a good cartoon outta this toony situation X3

Plea for attention from Bender:

[X]I'm running away

[X}And this time I mean it!

You'd think that couldn't be understood as anything but a respectful and polite reply.

I guess I've just been watching people that aren't complete narcissists.

Some people don't want to work to get social skills; they want undying support for nothing and friendship for free.

I've seen too many people seriously believe that just by drawing a few pictures, everybody should be figuratively kissing their asses.

Whoa, what'd I miss? I've been steering clear of drama for a while, but now I must admit that I'm morbidly curious.

lol funny, did he leave yet?

The self-absorbed cockjuggler's gallery has been wiped clean of all his bored, contrite and tired art so I can only hope so.

Addlesee is astonishing. I have never seen that level of self-aggrandizing bullshit paired with an overinflated sense of self worth before.

I wonder where he took all his art. I wonder what it looked like. I wonder why he was so self-centered.

Don't know, nor do I care to find out.

It is like a mystery now!

Eee! I love the MASH reference.

What else do you expect from a grown ass-man?

I'm kinda having trouble processing just what the fuck he's saying.

Join the club.

He's too lazy to kick the ass of his enemies, so he wants you to do it for him. Don't want to do it? Guess you'll just have to kick your own ass, heathen! Get to it!

And another thing... this guy's art is so stiff and old-fashioned, you could iron Don Draper's shirts on it.

Oooooooh! BURN!

"BURN!"?

By amusing coincidence, the lyrics to the Nine Inch Nails song 'Burn' are oddly appropriate to addlepated Addlesee...

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay

I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
I'm like the cancer in the system
I've got a little surprise for you

Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn
Burn!

Oh wow...

gimme 5

I read the initial postvthis came from as i was like, "Is this guy fucking serious?" No man could or should be that big of a poobabby. He needs to get his life together.

"YOU HAVE BEEN SAT TO LONG HERE FOR ANY GOOD YOU HAVE BEEN DOING. DEPART, I SAY, AND LET US HAVE DONE WITH YOU. IN THE NAME OF GOD, GO!"
-- Oliver Cromwell

If your self-esteem depends so much on affirmation from the public that that you feel you need to play these little games, perhaps you should not be on FA in the first place. And maybe on a therapist's couch.

I've also seen the reverse happen; someone said they were gonna leave DA and a commenter tore a strip off of them for abandoning THEIR FANS and working on self-interest. It's not like Shakespeare abandoned HIS FANS right?

Naturally, I quoted Hamlet.

They didn't get it.

...I want to hug you for the quote this title is based on.

HOW DO I GET ADVERSARIES???????????????
i want some how do i get furry adversaries i need to know please

1) Go back in time to the early 90s.
2) Copy Wolverine.
3) Decide you are A LEGEND. Even start your own fanclub called 'FANS OF A LEGEND'.
4) Cry on the Internet 20+ years later when not enough people love you.

5) Repeatedly scream at anyone who has inexplicably remained a fan.

Ok i am in the early 90's now oh my god what is with all the baseball caps fuck no thisadvice was awful NO EAST 17 NO STAY BACK NO SEND HELP SEND HEL

OH, someone linked somewhere else in the comments here. I get it now. Lulz, they were had.

i had no idea what this was about until now and I gotta say, once again, you reinforce why I like Pie. :D This, is brilliant.

I do try.

You know, he's the first person I ever went nuclear online on before, and the first true, bad furry experience, I had back in the day. Man I was young and naive.

You know that Kavi returned after that whole "my sister died in the Japanese tsunami" scam thing blew over. She's still denying she did anything wrong last I heard. I think she's on SoFurry now.

lol oh man I was there when that drama blew up. Didn't she also claim she was working on live-action Transformers and that she knew Michael Bay? XD

I love all the people completely missing the point of how absurd this is. It's not about his inevitable return, that's nothing new--it's about him antagonizing someone innocent for not kissing his feet and begging for him to stay. And that is just ludicrous. I don't know whom this is about, but holy crap is this bad. You're right about the caricature thing.

*moseys on by*

*spies a boyfriend*

*wraps up in rope and takes over* |:3

There are attention whores and then these people, never have I met anyone who is like this...But I'd probably have the intention of kicking them in the bladder.

D8 *flails and squirms* You betch!

Wow, I hate people who feel the need to "test" others with scenarios like that. It's like one of those bland lovers you see from a bad sitcom.

wooooah, a lot of drama in this one. *adds to drama pile*

or maybe I'm just tired.

They are the very definition of attention whores; it's disgusting to see people acting like 11 year old children who have just thrown a temper tantrum.

He was only grown on the outside.

somebody call a wah-mbulance

Unless someone invites him back, he won't be coming back.

No biggie though, he's doing alright and working on other projects now anyway.

I still think he should write a book about his experiences. Oh the words he'd have to say.

A. Not a "grown man"
B. Lot of drama queens out there.
Nice comic, TCP

I thought cartoons were real.
Ohh, that's the point, sorry.

Heh, I rarely pay attention to what's happening. So the first time I saw this, I just didn't get it.....other than, "yeah, I can see that happening." But now I finally caught up with this nonsense, it makes a lot of sense. I mean, seriously? Wow this guy got an ego larger than Mars. And I am dead sure Mitch meant well when he said that. BUT ah well, what ever. Sad part is, out of all of this, his name is starting to be remembered as an asshole to avoid than to be respected.

It joys me to see this is relevant again

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmyJ1RVfnPE

=^.,.^=

The guy in question has been 'leaving' since 2004... just can't seem to make it out the door it seems.

=^.,.^=

Fukken saved and faved.

And now we really have heard the last of him...

I heard about that. Well, hopefully he's more satisfied if there is an afterlife.
