All his discards are listed here:

*edit
This is the last post before he starts discarding everything. Don't know if this was the reason.

If you read through all his discards he seems angry.

Would be sad to see him go. He provided a lot of unique and interesting articles, especially on government and conspiracy. We all like a good conspiracy now and then, and I'm sure there will be some that might be true.

Some of those are fully legitimate, that have been removed from youtube and thus it is understandable. I don't get why many of the videos have been discarded, though, they were perfectly fine.

I do hope you're not pulling a karaidl and discarding the entire library, because then I think we better begin talking "no more discards" like no comment edits.

Constitutional_Patriot,

If you're in the beginning phase of a karaidl-esque discard spree, please stop. I'm not denying your right to do it, but just don't, please. I value your presence here, even if I disagree with you sometimes. Stick around, and continue to contribute.

And if you're not going on a discard spree, then stop making me worry. I ain't getting any younger.

I didn't think anything was wrong with what netrunner said. C'est la vie. Everyone can be a douche every now and then...

More often for Kronos and DFT... those guys need some anger management classes or something.

...yea, those dirty lynchers—oops.

Look.. the basic fact is that I'm leaving the sift.. I didn't want to make this a public exibition. I was hoping there wouldn't be a sift talk about this. I've deleted all my playlists, comments and started pulling my vids.

The problem is convoluted and difficult to explain but basically I see this site as a place to find funny and cute vids with the occasional nice music vid. When I post videos on some extremely important issues that contain investigations by credible news organizations into henous acts by the govt./military complex and it gets one vote, while at the same time I'm ridiculed and taunted, it makes me think: "Why the fuck do I even bother with these assholes?"

I am removing myself from this frustrating and silly envoronment. If you like any posts I have then feel free to repost them yourself. I don't have time for this anymore. 2009 and forward are going to be some extremely difficult times for me and the rest of the world and I am on the verge of being homeless because I'm unemployed and broke. I haven't felt very welcome here and I'm sick of the stereotypes and bullshit.

I would have just deleted the account but that's apparently not an option. Look... I'm not getting paid for this. I have a difficult time dealing with some of the issues that I've brung forth to you all. The straw that broke the camel's back here has nothing to do with Netrunner. He's a good guy but I think he's politically misaligned. I don't blame him though.. I've been a Dem, a Republican, a Green party, Constitutional party, and a Libertarian. Why have I jumped all over the spectrum? Because you can't get a full perspective unless you've experienced them all. I suppose that this is why I consider myself a Centrist now. There's lots of good and bad from all parties. Also I've noticed there is corruption in all of them as well. Most notably in the Dems and Repub sides. Corruption, Infiltration, Greed, Hypocrisy, Deception.. the list goes on. I'm pretty fed up with all of it really.

If you all really want me to not delete my current vids then fine, I'll leave them be but I won't be posting anymore vids, I won't be maintaining any playlists anymore and I won't be writing anymore blogs. This isn't about who wins or who loses. This isn't about who did what or anything like that. I'm just some average guy that can't afford to do this anymore - physically and mentally.

Good luck to you all.

I feel sad to see you go. But please let the sifted videos stay, I see no good reason to remove them other than spite.
Even though some of your videos that you feel strongly about have only had a vote or two, a lot of them have come through. So they get attention and discussion and of course not everyone is going to agree with them, and some might have strong view opposed to them, but that's what the discussion is for. I think you shouldn't take the comments of people too seriously, if you believe in conspiracy theories you better have a though skin.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It's OK to leave - but when you discard your posts - you discard lots of others' contributions through comments and playlists that may have included your posts.

People who act this way, show me that they don't a have basic grasp of what a community is. It's not all about you.

The bits of yourself that you give are swirled around in the pot and irretrievably mixed with the thoughts of others in the community. To rip your contributions out from spite hurts the community and hurts us all a little.

So long and thanks for not breaking any more chairs and ripping down the drapes on your way out by discarding more posts.

C_Patriot - It will be really really sad to see you go, you are one of the reasons I joined, I know there are some who get stupid when they see a conspiracy or a gov. related or any political video - But I love all the strange and obscure videos that videosift gets here - if you go, then damn, it'll be a big loss. Do me a favour, take a break And come back!'

And ok to remove comments, but dont please remove the videos...I know you posted them, but I and many many others still enjoy them

Good luck and have fun.

I can't help but feel that if you can't handle this environment, you're not going to like the real Internet. So when you've dipped your toes in the bubbling muck around us, you're welcome to come back.

good luck man! (try to stay if you can)

and always remember that the internet is shit!

Constitutional_Patriot, you are one of the people who truly drew me in to this place, and I'm sad to see you go.

I dare say you and I have similar motivations behind sifting. For me, the joy of this place is being able to show people things they may not have otherwise been aware of, and in particular, hoping to illuminate a truth for others that they may have not otherwise seen.

Even better are the people who can return the favor, such as yourself.

I don't have any trouble imagining someone becoming familiar with the views and platforms of all of the American political parties -- I've done so myself -- but it's another thing entirely to say you've been able to truly identify with all of them at one time or another during your life, and that does seem to provide a unique perspective.

Don't sweat the assholes (like me), just keep bringing the asses to water, and hope eventually they decide to drink.

Give it a few months C_P, I just think people are burnt out from an unusually long and intense election. Ron Paul, Obama and Palin must have accounted for 50% of the videos in the months preceding the election, so it's only natural for people to need a break. NetRunner's political videos aren't getting much love either, so it isn't just you.

Anyway, you've gotta do what you've gotta do. I enjoyed reading your stuff, and you've helped me to better understand what libertarianism is.

Thanks and take care. I have a funny feeling you might be back.

Wow, way to make someone feel welcomed here.

CP was being very sincere in his post, and is obviously having a very hard time with many things in his life right now, so to pile onto the hurt seems pretty mean spirited.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

^Sorry, but I was being sincere as well - I wish nothing but good things for CP - I appreciated his contributions here too.

But doing mass discards because you've had a bad day or someone pissed you off or you are parting with the community is inconsiderate to the rest of the people here it effects.

Fare thee well CP - and come back soon.

Hope ya come back buddy. You also inspired me to become a member of the site due to the fact that you and I see things mostly in the same light. I always looked forward to seeing what you would be posting for the day. It really sucks to see you go.

Come back, brother! If you ever do wander back to see what was said here, see this, and understand that I need your help. It is a crucial time, the turning-point is near... the word must be spread.
