Is it me - an update
I wrote this a while ago but it seems to be a good time to make it public.
Wow where do I start….. I have been a member of a very sucessful dive forum for nearly 4 years and over that time I have met a number of wonderful people and some I wouldn’t want to meet again, but they are the few. I have no idea if it is me who is getting bored with the whole forum thing or is it the people who now seem to frequent them, I really hope it isn’t me.
I recently had to log off and only log back in when I needed to, which wasn’t often, the first day without it was like suffering a bereavement and I struggled not to lurk but if I was logged in all the time, by now my blood pressure would be through the roof and I would have more red blobs than everyone else in history, rather ironic as things have turned out.
Why is it people feel the need to tell the world their drama’s, do they think the rest of the readership wants to know - I have news for them nobody cares, just like no one cares what I write although I am too cowardly to make this public, so it is just for my own amusment.
At the end of last year I suffered what I would probably call an emotional breakdown, I suppose old age kicked in, I am probably just at the time of life when things get you down and you have to take time out and reassess your life, lucklily I had a few friends around to make sure I was OK.
I hope it is a “winter thing” and people aren’t diving but everyone seems to be ranting about absolutely nothing and it’s the same old crap which is being trawled up. I never thought I would feel like this about a place I call my club, if it was an actual club I would have walked out by now, but its only the internet and I can always turn off.
What has happened to YD by some so called members can only be described as shameful and very sad. There are a couple of members who have declared themselves but some obviously haven’t - those are the cowards in my book. If it was my site I would ban them but I suspect that isn’t going to happen - pity they spoilt it for the rest of use though.
