Woops. A w k w a r d.

Hey, I still lurk. Have been since Survivor started not long ago. Believe it or not, I value the dissenting opinions too. Even though I dont always agree with Inviso, Ive always appreciated his ability to thoroughly explain himself. Its been 10 years of reading his thoughts, I would be lying if I said I didnt take into account his disdain for seasons like BB20 (and other popular seasons most fans love). Many times Ive been convinced (without expressing it) to change my opinion, or even my line of thinking, because others disagree and can explain themselves.

I wasnt mad then or now, darkx.

I mean really, Im not sure I wouldve made making Survivor/BB YouTube videos my #1 hobby for the past year if I couldnt stomach others opinions. Believe me, I get a lot of undue vitriol for the stupidest shit thanks to YouTube.

I said I would stop posting because all I was doing was feeling combative whenever I came here. I dont like to feel combative over something I try to have fun with. Especially with a group of people Ive been relatively close to for nearly a decade. And I was feeling combative because there was an immense (to me) amount of bashing. The conversation was only negative and lead to arguments between the, I dont know, 4 active regulars here for BB20?

Not that I inherently dislike conflict, I just need a balance. I said the same thing back then before I stopped posting: I wasnt enjoying myself. So instead of engaging with something that was draining me, or demanding others to change to my liking, I said I would remove myself to avoid the conflict and focus my energy elsewhere.

That was it!

Im still here. Im very much enjoying DvG. Im more just in a lurking state.
