hahaha, it's like crack you see, you'll never leaveyou think you will, but you never will, you'll end up mugging old ladies for their broadband connection and using the 2 hours free computer access at the local library.

Flouncing is the ancient art of leaving a board, community, blog or Internet forum in the most dramatic way possible.
Whereas normal people who are fed up with a discussion or debate simply leave, flouncers need eternal validation. Instead of simply logging off, they must announce that they are leaving. Flouncing usually occurs when a wanker realizes that other people on the planet hold differing views.
History
In childhood, flouncing is called "tantrums."
Types
* A Convoluted Flounce is a wordy diatribe in which the wanker must make it clear how everyone else is forcing them to leave, and that the wanker simply has no other choice.
* The Double Flounce is when a flouncer vows never to post again and never to return. They then return to announce again that they will never again return.
* The Triple (or more) Flounce is exceedingly rare, but definitely the most amusing.
Effects
The goal of a flounce is always to elicit an outpouring of handwringing and sympathy from other fans ("Please don't go, we love you, you're brilliant!") If there's a corresponding threat of deletion, they will expect an added outcry for the sake of their fic ("It would be like Michelangelo erasing the Sistine Chapel if we live without chapter 217 of your Harmonian opus!"). The wanker must know that they are so vitally important mass suicide will result if they leave the fandom. If there is an insufficient outcry the first time, the wanker will institute the double flounce.
98.7% of flouncers return within a week, usually in the form of a sockpuppet. A percentage of these flouncers will actually return as themselves or not leave at all, most with the explantion that the sympathy garnered has changed their minds.

the post up there was genuine, the fallout and abuse I knew would come from posting it is part of the course, it was aimed at the posters I came here for and enjoyed seeing their stuff
we're all probably grown ups in real life , we sit here probably in an office or working from home and typing about this stuff on a comedy forum we logged onto, probably in between doing a design for a client or making some toast
I think that's probably the size of things and the reality of it, to be honest
EDIT: sorry if I didn't address any points you may have made, I admit I never read your reply past the first 2 lines (I 'm guessing the gist) but I'm not being obtuse when I say that, but I did reply given you spent the time to type out that huge chunk of text
