   All this drama SanCon offers stirs my tl;dr spirit to dangerously hot temperatures.

   I stand among comrades for what I believe to be noble causes, and we think tank and make many valid, logical, humane, and important points. But ultimately no one benefits. There is no reasoning with pro-censorship, yes, but there is also nothing to gain from trying to reason with it.

   That's something I never truly understood before coming to SanCon.

   I do my best to keep cool-headed, but opposition is relentless, and I always end up putting my feelings on the line, even when I don't sound like I am, defending whatever niche is being misrepresented, censored, etc.

   Obviously I'm not as cool-headed and helpful as I thought I could be, and I need some time to meditate on what's really important in life.

   Thanks to everyone who ever listened/participated.

   I'm bookmarking my last tl;dr waste of time, trying to reason with a self-described moralfag on the latest Eroge ban article here.

   I'm turning off my modem, uninstalling Firefox, and am going to attempt to relearn how to enjoy what precious little freetime I have.

   If there's anyone else out there who's also spent too much time and thought and feeling on trivial drama like this, you owe it to yourself to take a step back and look at what damage you may be causing to your personal life, and health. I'm in my 20's and already my heart is skipping beats, feeling actual pain, thumping loudly in my head. It's like I'm letting the drama destroy me before I even get the chance to do the job myself with anime-overload ^_^ (which should begin in about 5 minutes, hopefully; but more like 20 minutes because I re-edit all my tl;dr's until they sound nice).

   If you're like me, use this to help improve your own life.

   Escape to your favorite hobbies, like you were vacationing on your own private tropical island. Bubble baths, anime marathons, rock concerts, road trips... do it all.

   Nearly all of you I've encountered here are beautiful, intelligent, tolerant people, and deserve nothing but the best life has to offer you.

   If I return, like an addict looking for his next troll-feeding fix, somebody please just kill me.

   Or tell me to just shut the fuck up and fap.

   Well, I believe that all this debate in these sort of issues ultimately go on a merry-go-round. If the government (of any country) are going to ban it they will. No amount of online hammering amounts to any change to what's going to happen.
   But admittedly the drama adds spice to the forums :P

   I hope to see the Waterfall Towers of SanCon in a healthy spray when I inevitably suffer withdrawal and return, envoy ;P

   Not just the Drama. Well, I don't really know. This kind of thing isn't really my way of giving attention.
   Although...

   Fuck it. Just change, okay? Good luck.

   Meanwhile, I am personally way too stubborn to ever give up the fight, as enraging or pointless as it can get. This I know; I just won't ever give up. I shall continue on where you left off and hope for the best.

   Likewise. Although I've always been rather politically motivated.

   Have you stopped to think you may be putting your feelings on this thread too? You may change your decision, given enough time (a.k.a. tomorrow).

   I'm in my 20's and already my heart is skipping beats, feeling actual pain, thumping loudly in my head.

   It's not any different in real life. It may seem trivial because you can't see the other person, but opposing ideas, which triggers anger and discussions, aren't physical too. It's just a natural reaction of the body, whether in real life or not. So, forgive me if the reason you decided to make this decision is because of the discussion itself, and not the place (internet). It's just that I see this argument often, in the internet.

   Also, Kokopure is entitled to her opinion, and it is not any less universally worth than ours.

    Overall, online discussions aren't useless. Even if it looks like you didn't convince anyone, it's quite possible that your posts/articles helped to change some lurker's view, at least a little. It could make a difference, perhaps even few years later.
    .
    But sure it's much healthier to view your contributions as charity rather than duty. Share your wealth when you feel like doing it and obviously only when it doesn't affect your health negatively. Haha, I guess I should listen to my own advice >.<
    .
    It is certainly not healthy to engage discussions as matter of honor (even though your passion might help to convince some readers). If you see it as charity / good deed / sharing your wealth with others, it should be easy to make the right decisions (at least in theory). You've a limited/reasonable amount of time/energy to spend on these discussions. Choose the ones that cost you the least amount of time, are the most satisfying (or the least depressing), yet probably would have the most impact. There's no way to win every debate. There's no way to answer to every post of certain users who just restate their original position with different words and ignore your arguments. There's no way to beat staff members who resort to insulting remarks / ad hominem to prove their point.
    On another hand, probably it isn't worth the time to try to convince a stubborn "morality" and censorship proponent when the vast majority agrees with your position already.
    .
    That said, if you've spent so much energy on this topic, indeed it's a good idea to stay away from it (or from any online discussions in general) for a while! I hope you enjoy your "vacation"! ^_^

    Kokopure is not entitled to her opinion if it is illogical.

    That's why I've used "universally". There is not an universal logic, in the same way there isn't universal truths. The universe has no attributed value, it is (de)void (of value). Although dogmatic moralistic religions think otherwise, trying to say that there are universally wrong and right things, ways to behave, to act, etc.

    There is human logic(s), though.
