As a dis boards member, a vmk player, and disney fan, it is only out of my spirit and mind that I listen to and care about fellow dis'ers/vmk'ers. Quite frankly, I could care less if he was looking for attention or if he was seriously considering leaving vmk. That is not the point here, the point is someone has said and done something to upset another member (who evidently becomes a friend before an enemy) It is in my best interest and I am sure other's as well, that I try to encourage him to stay and make sure he understands that there are so many more people who will listen to him; let him understand that not everyone is only concerned only about themselves. What I am trying to say is, there was a point when he thought about really leaving. Whether that thought lasted a minute, an hour, or has not yet left, he did in fact feel as if he had to leave what should be considered a friendly and enjoyable online game.
Besides the obvious (what was typed out) I think the op brought something to the attention of other dis boards members; that the level of rudeness in vmk has reached such a point where it brings a kid the urge to quit. Now, you can say, oh he is just trying to bring attention to himself, but looking deeper into the message I see more than him trying to direct attention his way. Of course, that is just my opinion.
I also feel as if everyone deserves the caring and understanding words of people who truly want to help. Now, there are few times where I have ever talked to the op, but he is a member of the dis, a fellow disney fan, and someone who has never said or done anything agaisnt me. I don't see why he doesn't deserve any less encouragement than those other 5 you claim to have read about. I don't want anyone to leave vmk due to players who simply must "bully" others around, even if he wasn't seriously considering leaving (of which he has stated; that only a small part of him wanted to leave) The point is and has already been mentioned here, that the increasing amount of the "annoying" things in vmk has brought some people to the point where they needed to "breathe". I think the op had the right and need to post what he did and therefore deserves some thoughts. The dis boards is a place to share ideas, opinions, thoughts and emotions with other people who more likely than not, understand.
Before saying how someone feels (stating directly that he/she is "posting for attention") I find it best to first know that person. Otherwise, it is best to accept how that person may have felt. However, that is just me.
