Well, after a certain pair of most eerily polite moderators (not that I plan on mentioning any names anywhere in this post :| ) redirected me to this thread to make notice of my glorious return, I decided to take them up on their offer, or rather, conform to norm, if you will. :)

Helllooo! I'm Drethelis and I used to be a fairly large (for which read, 'I made a few posts here and some people liked me') user of this forum several months back, and now I'm here and I'd like to jump back in the community here, as I remember it being peaceful and lively. The few days I've been back so far, I've noticed this community runs very fluidly compared to what I remember, so I'm ever so glad to see that the gang here is as sociable as ever. So the message I compel to you is, I'm glad to be back and I hope the community will embrace me as much as I plan on embracing it and involving me with as many activities and discussions as my free time permits!

So for those who don't know me, which I'm more than sure is most of you, here's a few fun facts about me!
  • -I'm rather quirky, which could lead one to believe I like quirky jokes.
    -Since I'm sure your all dying to know and too lazy to Google it, my signature comes from a narrated part of German Speed/Power Metal Band "Blind Guardian"'s "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" album, which is a concept album of the Tolkien book, The Similiarion.
    -When I verbally speak, I tend to gradually accelerate my rate of speech, and since, as a writer myself, I try to emulate as much of my natural verbal speech into written language, imagine it being read as starting of at a normal rate, but slowly getting faster. :?
    -As previously stated above, I am an amateur writer, who will be attending college this fall for a major in Music Business and a minor in Professional Writing.
    -I like Oblivion Role plays, but I am for the most part indiscriminate towards role plays in general. So if you have a role play which you need an extra character, which I already haven't applied, send me a message and I will czech out your role play and happily join. :D
    -In TES IV, I prefer Wood Elves, (Bosmer, if you prefer) because of their metabolically high energy, which they can some how keep under control and channel into their cunning skills.
    -I'm a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.
    -I like socializing intelligently, and due to the fact I go to a school which is located in the middle of, ahem, 'Radneck Countrie', I am almost entirely robbed of such pleasure.
    -And I am a very musical person who loves all music in general, but has a high preference for Power Metal bands, such as Demons & Wizards, Hammerfall, and Rhapsody of Fire, to name a few. Czech em out if you've never heard of em, cause you never know; you might fall in love with them :wink:
I think that's all you need to know about me, so have a good day people and watch out for the Yao Guai! (Nerdy Fallout 3 reference is nerdy.)

Ever since I returned, I have felt distant from these forums. I have the respect of, at a guess, three people, or at least that's what it feels like. This is for real. I apparently rule with an iron fist when I'm just doing my job. I apparently over-react when I happen to merely have self-esteem issues, I am apparently both "not mature enough" and "not as qualified for the job as we thought". I am a veritable antichrist, it seems, though if Christ was the forums. I find myself thinking "I [&@%!] hate this person" when they make a spelling mistake and I don't even know who they are. Yes, with the swearing. Not even psuedo-swearing. Now to conclude, a series of meaningless quotations from songs I like that had a purpose and then turned into a random assortation of junk.

And if we mess things up, you know how we can solve them. I will take all our time and declare it non-canon. - Non-Canon, Andrea Heins

Aphrodite, was it out of spite they called you after the goddess of love? - Cleopatra and Aphrodite, Andrea Heins

I don't think I ever saw you blink, you were so controlled, I never knew, and by the time we all stopped to think, we were already too close to you. Now you keep coming by, telling me it's not what I think, but I know a murder when I see one
...
You said you're sorry, you said you'd try, but you never did, I guess we're done. And bits and pieces of me float by, and I die in front of everyone. - Octopus, Jonathan Coulton

I was fine. I pulled myself together just in time to throw myself away. Once my perfect world was gone, I knew you ruined everything, in the nicest way. You should know how great things were before you, they're better still today. I can't think of who I was before: you ruined everything, in the nicest way. - You Ruined Everything, Jonathan coulton

What if the best I can be just isn't good enough? Isn't it better not to know? - Big Bad World One, Jonathan coulton

Do I need to point, or do you see the one I mean? The one in back, the way he acts, is he reminding you of anyone we know? Isn't he so, like certain people I could name? - Certain People I Could Name - They Might Be Giants

If you need me, I'll be downstairs, with the Shop Vac, you can cry but I probably won't hear you because it's loud with the shop vac on. - Shop Vac, Jonathan Coulton

This life isn't measured by the breaths you take, but by the breaths you don't waste on clichés - Raising Cain, Rock Paper Cynic

I wanted to write
I haiku song for you but
It was really hard - Haiku Song, Rock Paper Cynic

And he buggered off, so they put their swords down into time shares and Kalashnikovs - Death of the King, Rock Paper Cynic

[&@%!] 's so thick you could stir it with a stick - Bad Day, REM

Your eyes are burning holes through me, I'm not scared, I'm outta here - Electrolite, REM

Here comes the dirt bike, beware of the dirt bike, 'cause I hear they're coming to our town, they got plans for everyone. And now I hear they're over their sophomore jinx, so you had better check it out
...
Soul-crushing dirt bike, mind-bending dirt bike. I thought I'd never understand 'til that bike took my by the hand, now I ride. - Dirt Bike, They Might Be Giants

Do you think there's somebody out there? Someone else, who's better than the one you've got? Well there's not. There's not.
...
You say it's such a joke, but I don't see you laughing. - The Cap'm, They Might Be Giants

And what they found was just a statue, standing where the statue got me high. - Statue Got Me High, They Might Be Giants

You're all alone, well maybe that's because you're so unpleasant. - Someone is Crazy, Jonathan Coulton

The world's about to be destroyed, there's no point getting all annoyed. - So long and thanks for all the fish, H2G2

Before there ever was a you and me
The endless void of a dark, black sea
And a giant oyster, the mother of all things
And the oyster made a pearl
And the pearl became the world
And the world began to turn
And the sun began to burn
And then one day I met you and then fell in love
And you broke my tender heart
And so here we are

But there was always the moon
There was always the moon
There was always the moon
There was always the moon

Before there ever was a you and me
The slender branch of a gentle tree
And a big red fruit that hung low to the ground
And you picked it out of spite
And you took a careless bite
And the world was not the same
And we all know who to blame
So now when you think of me
Do think of when there was still a chance but it's over,
So here we are

But there was always the moon
There was always the moon
There was always the moon
There was always the moon

Remember when there was a you and me
When there was such a thing as gravity
And the tides came in and the tides went out again
But the water got too high
And the sun began to die
And I tried to make you stay
But the world pulled you away
And now there are darker longer colder nights
And the sun has gone for good
And so here we are

But there is always the moon
There is always the moon
There is always the moon
There is always the moon
- Always the Moon, Jonathan coulton

Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't
Hear the doorbell
When I get into it I can't tell if you are
Watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi Vole will pay the solo
Some day somebody else besides me will
Call me by my stage name, they will
Call me Dr Worm.
Good Morning how are you, I'm Dr Worm
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but I know I will. I've always thought of you as someone who had the respect of a lot of people. They may not say it, and I think you're over-reacting to some jokes people may or may not say. Maybe I don't know all the details. However, leaving the forum won't change a damn thing. I seriously plead to you to rethink what you've posted.

I didn't think I did. However, once again, leaving the forums in some long, dramatic post isn't going to get you the respect you want from those people. Maybe they just don't like you. I know I'm not someone who's been here for long, and I'm not normally one to raise my voice about things, but I honestly think this could be solved in a much more productive way, which includes neither you nor anyone else leaving.

I have a sinking pit of guilt in my stomach. I know that you called me out in your post, and I feel partially responsible for the feeling you have of a general lack of respect from us. I guess I went a bit to far, and assumed that you were a bit more thick skinned than you are. I, for one, would like to apologize. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we really value your prescence here. I can say that I personally will make an effort to show it. You really are a bright spot in these forums, and, frankly, oftentimes my day.
I would, once again, like to apologize for having offended you. I was out of line making public comments in that fashion, I should have PMd you, and I now regret my personal disrespect. I would really like for you to reconsider your decision to leave.

EDIT: I honestly meant for this to be a PM, but hit the wrong button. I guess it's out there now, isn't it?
And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

This has almost nothing to do with you guys. Dogmantra has his reasons for this, please respect that.

It is unlikely you are one of the people contributing to his feelings of unwelcomeness. I know that all the above posters have nothing to do with it, so don't worry.
