You sound as though yer steamed. Maybe you need to cool off a bit because we've all been fools at times and I'm sorry if I was one of the ones who irritated you. I can be a right nuicanse at times. We all make fools of ourselves and have had lousy days been in bad moods. Yet we're all learning to deal with this baffling condition and are trying to cope with it the best way we know how.
It's a given like any family we'll get on each other's nerves not that you don't have the right to be mad but think on this life sometimes throws you someone you find really annoying but sometimes it is that person you need to get you through the tough stuff like say you like this guy and you are trying to get him to notice you and he doesn't. Or maybe you are going through a rough bit in your life like I am.
The surest way to make a right fool of yourself is to be judgemental and be unforgiving of the mistakes of others. Yet I'm one to talk about forgiveness because I'm not very good at it either. Just give yourself the time you need to calm down a bit and try again when you are ready.
Well maybe some of the folks you had a problem with have decided to go jump off the bridge, have been hit by a bus, a beer truck or decided not to bother with it either. If you do decide to chat and one of them annoys you just tell them to go play in the freeway. It's all like a tree some of the fruit tastes good some of it doesn't. If you run into problems then talk to the channel admin and maybe they can give you some advice or tell you what commands you can enter to avoid that person you do not find helpful if need be.
It's your life and your decision but real time chat is a useful tool that can help you if you know how to use it right and are patient enough to learn about it and give it another chance. You may be able to use a command /ignore bothersome_person's_nick or maybe they don't have that here. At any rate I wouldn't let a few annoying people drive you out of a place you have a right to be if you are actually getting some help from being there.
If you wanna use it then use it if you don't then don't. Yet don't let a few idiots drive you out if that is where you want to be then be there and take everything anyone says with a huge bag of salt. Do you want those idiots running your life or chasing you out of where you want to be or do you want to make your own decisions about what you will do or where you will go?
Some folks are switching meds, some folks are annoyed, some folks aren't very nice to begin with or their mate just had a big one, bad day at work or class. These folks are not at their best so it's natural they would be cranky. It's not worth getting yourself bent out of shape over. None of us wanted to have seizures, none of us wished it would happen to our loved ones either.
We all come here to get help and understand it some and I think if you are big enough to put aside some of the anger and resentment then you might be able to help some kid who is scared to death, who doesn't understand what is happening to him and be a friend to see him through. I see in you a great vulnerability yet also a tenderness too. If you can find your strength to take whatever gets tossed at you then you'd be amazing.
Sometimes when people are in horrible pain they inflict it on others in an attempt to feel better it doesn't make it right yet it is a sign of weakness in them not in you. Try reading Kipling's If I think that dude can say what I'm trying to tell you much better than I can ever express.
I'd say you need a break. Just go for walks, read some books, watch movies, hang with your friends and forget the whole thing once you are ready for it you'll know and will be able to deal with it alot better.
