Sad.

[Reality4711]

Been hanging around MR for a long time now so I am sad to write that along with five (5) other sites this will be my last contribution.
As individuals the MR members have given me help, the occasional laugh and a connection with the outside world that I physically lack. For those reasons I have kept returning to annoy you all despite health issues often getting in the way.
Latterly changes around the world have made it increasingly difficult for me to interact on the web positively and I need positivity to keep my head above water; so being no longer able to dodge the blackness inexorably engulfing the light in the world endnote the strength (mentally) to fight it I am going to leave the web entirely (except banking - no other way).
The walls round my house are low but they will suffice until no longer needed.
Thank you friends.
Goodbye.

Sorry to hear about your health problems and that you won't be returning, but I must say that I don't see the connection between what you're talking about and MacRumors. But to each their own. Good luck.

Politics/Humanity - just overwhelming. Thank you.

Really sorry to see you go. However our own health and that of our loved ones is and should be everyones paramount concern.

I can certainly see deep-sixing the boobtube, Facebook and the Twitter bunch, but for the most part I have found those here at Macrumors quite welcoming and non judgmental. I have always appreciated your contributions.

I'm very sorry and fully understand you, but you know, you still have friends here when you need us!
It's a very difficult moment in the world, never in our lives it has been so dark
Wish you all the best for your health first of all
and for the rest to all of us!

You can avoid the political forms and also there’s lots of the Internet that is very positive. Often people will go towards negative because of human nature so you have to avoid that temptation. Sometimes you can look at something and see it as negative when it really isn’t. Different viewpoints of the same thing. A rainy day you’re stuck inside and can’t have a picnic or a rainy day you can enjoy the sounds of rain and look out the window. Both are the same rainy day.

I don’t see how blocking yourself off from the world is going to keep you very positive unless you have a very close group of friends and family living with you. Isolating yourself could cause major problems.

Good luck and I hope you figure things out!

Appreciated = just my wife but tried the other way.
