For those I have interacted with on here it has been swell. Wish ya'll the best. I have come to the realization that having an opinion that doesn't tote the party line is frowned upon; I've never claimed to be an anarchist and only joined the forum primarily for the freight hopping aspects. I have grown weary of seeing what was a year ago a GREAT travelling forum, deteriorate into threads praising walmart thefts, pornography and bullshit.
There comes a time when a person has to do what is right for themselves. Accordingly, I have requested my account be deleted. Here is an interesting anomoly. For a site dedicated to such supposed anti-authoritarianism I find it odd that a person must petition for such a thing. It would strike me that, in essence, those in power feel they own the persona one creates here. This decision is not based upon a manic episode. Simply a final proverbial straw. Folks like myself, Shoestring and several others are simply riders and are not accustomed to being told how they must think and to whom they must accord privileges. That, my friends, is what is TRUELY wrong with the rails today. Everyone feels that they are owed something. Whether it be info, special treatment, etc. I mean what the fuck happened to riding on one's own merits?
This, coupled with the fact that being right winged; albeit never attempting to prosylatize others, is considered wrong has brought me to make this decision. So, I wish the founders of the site the best in their film career; the overseers I issue my sincere hope that they don't have to deal w/someone like me in the future and those whom I have had the privilige and honor of helping out on their journies I hope to help again in the future.
For those whom need to reach me and didn't take the time to save my contact info, contact Rise or Wizehop.
