Hi, or rather, goodbye Smogon. I've had such a great time here but all good things come to an end right? I've decided to quit Smogon due to many reasons, one being that school is eating up my time and what not, another being that Smogon and Pokemon (mostly Pokemon, you guys are cool) is getting extremely stale and boring for me, even with the advent of the soon-to-be Gen 6. Stacked with these is the biggest reason why I'm quitting Smogon: user bullying. For a long time me and a few other people have been bullied by a certain user, but it started off very strange and weird, almost akin to a joke but I didn't know the user at all so it came off as aggressive to me and my friends. Either way, eventually the bullying got worse and worse until I just couldn't handle it. This is where I am now, but not where I will be tomorrow. Mizuhime's viscious teasing and joking has turned me away from Smogon as they do absolutely nothing about the very apparent issue of bullying. Mizuhime isn't the only bully, but rather just one leader of a gang of relentless bullies. EnerG218, ShootingStarmie, alexwolf, and the notorious tormentor jukain (who guys under other names to try to hide his identity, such as 'pokemon0078'.) All of these names sound familiar? They are bullies who torture other users maliciously just because 'Mizuhime told me to.' It's disgusting honestly, and I think some of it has to do with a certain sub-group of Smogon. If you look at the bullies I listed (the most prominent of Smogon), do you see a pattern? They have all spoken to imanalt at least once. I believe that the imanalt sub-community encourages this type of aggressive behavior in all users involved. As I take my permanent leave, I hope you all in the imanalt community (specifically the bully encouragers, such as atomicllamas, Trop, Kenny, Fusxfaranto, Passion, Lasagne, Diatom, CherubAgent, and of course the bullies themself) realize that all your actions have consequences and those consequences are reflective of your personality and affect your relationship with ones around you. Goodbye.
