User blog:Fritzmet/Leaving Chat

Today I make my first blog post, but unfortunately it is for a dumb reason. As many of you know, many users are now taking voluntary leaves from the wiki chat. It has gotten out of hand with arguments, or "shitstorms" as they are called, and the matter only seems to be getting worse.

I am personally leaving because today a certain user (who isn't even TSPTF but somehow had chat mod rights) has proceeded to kick, ban, harass, and call me names for weeks now. Every time I come on chat he calls me names, and has been trying to press his personal opinions on me for some time. He advocates for the return to slavery, the end of women's suffrage, and many racist or offensive opinions. In culmination this has created a very hostile environment that I'd rather seek to leave than risk getting banned from the wiki, now that he (somehow) has become an admin.

I hope that this issue is resolved at some point. Until then I will be voluntarily leaving chat like many others. Thanks, Fritzmet (talk) 21:17, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
