BRONZE x FBG's blog: "Juss Venting"

This is a new addition to the last one I posted. Ranking on this site is a serious business (which might be why I don't take it as serious as others). Although I will have to admit that if I add someone for the purposes of running famps, I will remove them if they stop running. Here is where the funny part comes in, you can swap with someone, you know its for running purposes, they know it's for running purposes, and yet when you remove them because they stop, they will actually get pisssed lol. Twice in the last month I have has this happen. The first was someone who sometimes ran, but wasnt really a full time runner, still she ran and got good rates so we kept our arraingment going. Then she took a fu-cation. was gone for over a month, I eventually removed her. As always happens, when you eventually remove them, they come back the next day(always happens). She wanted to know why I removed her (hello you were gone, you weren't helping my rates, why would I help yours?). i added her back, she ran two more times, and then promptly left again, so guess who was removed again? You guessed it. The second was yesterday. Someone who only ever swapped on a run by run basis asked me for a swap. Ok I said. Then as soon as they made lifetime goal, left for real life stuff. OK I get that rl is more important. They were gone for a couple months, came back once when there was a big bonus ran a few famps, then promptly left again. I rmoved them 2 days ago, they came back yesterday, was curious why I removed them... really? You have built your whole fu career on running and swapping, you know how it goes. Why do people think that them getting your rates is more important than you getting theirs? Now I realise I was only red for a couple weeks more from residual rates than anything I do, I wanted the ach, and I got it but I have no interest in staying top red, or even red for that matter. I do however like to maintain a decent rank. It seems that people think its ok to collect my rates and not give in return. Well sorry, but thats not going to happen, if you don't like it, don't swap with me. I spent most of my fu years in obscurity I have no problem going back to it. Having a red name isnt my entire reason to exist as it is some peoples. I just want people to know I'm not going to keep giving all my rates away if they arent going to send some back my way. I don't expect to keep my rank by doing nothing like certain people with 3 letters in their name (does anyone actually ever see him run) but im not going to work twice as hard for someone elses rates either. OK done!
