Then don't quit on yourself and everyone else. Simply dismiss the posts you don't want to read and drive on. Your renewed interest was refreshing and exciting. Don't give up because of a perceived stumbling block. Just jump over the block and drive on. Please. > It is unclear to me which character you are referring to. But it doesn't > really matter. To me it was quite obvious who Richard was referring to. And I don't think it was you. > In my years of involvement with LFS, I have been a core part of too many > of the arguments and social issues. So what. You've been a core part of the really good stuff too. You've got take take any bad (perceived or actual) with a grain of salt, let it go and drive on to do what is best for the community. And leaving is not what's best. You should reconsider. Please. > I have always believed my motives > and intentions to be good, but that makes little difference if they are > not perceived that way by others, and if the end result is bad. Not true. I don't believe anyone thinks the end results have been bad. > I re-evaluated my involvement here and attempted to objectively consider > my position and actions. I believe that my presence is hurting LFS and > no longer helpful. You really should let the community *help* you come to that conclusion, or dismiss the notion (my vote). Your presence is definitely not hurting the project. Quite the opposite, I think. > And the stress isn't doing anything good for me either. That's something you'll need to work out on your own. However, you shouldn't be stressed. Look Jeremy, I've been as much or probably way more a controversial person in the community than you. But that doesn't stress me. If LFS isn't fun, then yes, do what you have to do. But don't do it because you *think* that *maybe* you're not helping the project. > I have left before. But then I return and, after some time, leave again > and then return again. That inconsistency is not helpful to LFS either. Not true again. What one does is his business. If staying away for a bit works for you than it's okay. > So, this time it is for good. I know now that if I were to come back, it > would not be in the project's best interests, or in mine. Don't speak about the project, because you're not correct in that assumption. What is best for you, well, only you can determine that. But think about what I (and others) have said. You're presence is good for the community. > I wish you all the best, and I trust that you all will pull together and > make something great happen. If you mean that, then you won't go.
