Poser of the Year -- History

Re: Poser of the Year -- History

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what's going on?

I mean, even more than usual?

Priceless quit USCHO. He was thinking about it, then read Uncle Ray's little bit of vitriol/snark/whatever, and decided that it was a sign from God or something that he should act upon the impulse.

When somebody posts something like this:

To clear the air:
I said during the whole Ferguson debate that there were times I get so riled up by discussions that I don't like what I'm saying anymore and will take time off. I have done that a few times. I do not "Take my ball and go home."
One poster suggested I kill myself. He wasn't kidding. He wasn't joking around. He was serious. It just so happens that at the time he said that I was having a nasty reaction to some new medication for headaches. The last thing I needed was some ******* telling me I should kill myself. That's when I deleted a bunch of threads, left a farewell message in the Extras thread and a note on the printer for my mom. Fortunately the pills I took were not lethal and Parkview Hospital brought me back. As I said many time to many therapists over the next year, it doesn't make sense that I would try that when I had worked so hard to recover from this dammed tumor.

It was the following year that I did in fact get a job online - moderating this forum. I am not sure how much longer I'll be doing that. I am seeing the doctor later today because I still am suffering from these headaches and what only a few people know is that I have now developed a precursor to cancer. The odds that I actually get cancer are slim, but they exist. And I still have this tumor.

Didn't mean to rant, but I figure if people are going to speculate about it, I may as well come out with the truth. I also hope my story serves as a reminder that there are real people out here who suffer from depression, even if we joke around a lot. Guys, make sure you get all those "-oscopies" your doctor advises because you never know when they'l find something.

It is.
 
Re: Poser of the Year -- History

Not related to PoTY, but this happened quite a few years back, and a VERY respected poster, who knew more about hockey (and had soooooo many stories) than any of us, quit. Someone started harassing him via email and on the board, and he quit. I had the honor (yes, it was an honor, he was rather selective of who he met from the board before any of the harassment happened) of meeting him. Still wish he would come back.

RIP the posting career of Puck Swami.
 
Re: Poser of the Year -- History

What Priceless is going through with his health is truly horrifying and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. Making jest of it is lower than low. And is completely unacceptable. But his medical condition is completely irrelevant to his general demeanor, which I find to be condescending, demeaning, and with a know-it-all attitude. I understand that some people like that. Personally, I don't. His intolerant views (from the supposedly tolerant side of politics) of religion and of people who have beliefs other than his own I really dislike. Of course, that makes him like many others here. And if they, too, disappeared from USCHO i wouldn't lose any sleep either. I wish him no ill will, I just detest the holier-than-thou, I'm-right-and-you're-stupid attitude that is so pervasive from ALL SIDES these days. Hear this, too: I don't miss Old Pio one little bit. Same coin, different side.
