Too bad, sir. Good luck with whatever you want to do.

I'll be sad to see you go Constitutional_Patriot, as I truly get something from your posts and comments.

If it were up to me, I'd prefer you to stay and continue contributing.

If you decide to go, thank you for your commentary and submissions, you have absolutely been an inspiring mark in the VS community.

This fucking sucks. I don't think I've ever ridiculed you and I really think you're an important presence here. I don't always get to see everyone's vids as I get about 45 mins during my lunch break for ALL of my time on videosift but I always look forward to seeing what you have.

I really respect what you've given us and I'm upset to see you go.

Good luck

DON'T LEAVE ME!!!

Hey CP
Look, just wanted to let you know always enjoyed your videos, whether I have agreed with them or not, I have always found the stories you managed to find interesting, and I am glad so many sifted...

I hope you take a break, and maybe we will see you again, but if not, just wanted to let you know, I always enjoyed your posts. Please take care, and hope 2009 gets better for you

Hi,

I don't know you. You seem like a decent guy who has used the sift, to a certain extent, as a means of promoting awareness of politics, justices and other issues that have been important to you. A difficult task, but in the time that you have invested into this site, you have clearly had some success.

Now, I don't know your situation. Or anything that has contributed to you needing to take a break from here for that matter. You know better then anyone what you gotta do to take care of yourself. But if you decide to take a vacation from this place, even a permanent one, I would ask you to leave your legacy intact. If you discard your videos, I don't know who would track them down to repost them. Being linked here will get some attention for some of the issues you thought were important even after your attention has turned to more important things. It's better for the sift in my opinion.

Sorry to hear times have gotten tight for you.
I wish you the best, and hope you land back on your feet soon.

In reply to this comment by Constitutional_Patriot:
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.

Hey man, I see that you have been discarding your Sifts. Why, what's wrong with them? Is there drama?
