Your well-being should be the priority. If it makes you feel better to take a break, then by all means, take a break. We'll welcome you back with open arms. Good luck, and happy new year!

I hope you feel better soon, man. I'm sorry to hear you're going through these difficulties. 

I'm sorry people don't understand how fabulous Rarity is. (Pinkie will always be my favorite though.)

A well-deserved break would come in handy, so just try to relax and enjoy yourself. Feel better soon, Ghost. 

You will be sorely missed, even if it is only for a week or so.. But I agree, your health and well being is more important, so take as long as you need.

and on a side note, whilst Rarity isn't one of my favorites, I don't hate her, I just don't like her behavior sometimes..

Do whatever it is you need to do, we will be here waiting for you when you get back. The recent Applejack hate topics have certainly given me a taste of what it feels like to be a Rarity fan and while I can understand why someone might prefer Cherilee but it just seems incredibly unnecessary to focus so overwhelmingly on another ponies perceived negatives.

Basically what everyone else here said. Take care of yourself, Ghost. Take as much time as you need.

I'm gonna miss you dude, hope to see you soon

Feel better soon. We need our resident Rarity bodyguard back!

Those posts in the World Cup thread weren't hating Rarity. They were critical. They were criticisms of Rarity. One of the posts was very sharp criticism of Rarity, but criticism, nonetheless. Some of it was justified, some not.

And honestly, this is one of your biggest problems. You have a very hard time actually determining what's criticizing Rarity and what's hating Rarity. I've seen it in the "World Cup" thread as well as the one where people asked why some bronies like Dash and not Rarity. You spamming the "defense" of Rarity's element isn't helpful. In fact, as a Rarity fan myself, it's hurting your opinion and making you look ill-informed.

Now, I've followed your news about your heart problem, and I'm sorry to see you in physical pain.

However, seeing as you're back, you do need to think about a few things:

1. Make sure your heart is well enough before you sign in. If you feel too stressed, leave the topic, sign out, and close the tabs related to the forums until you feel better.

2. Learn the difference between people criticizing Rarity and people hating Rarity. Just because they're critical of Rarity doesn't mean they hate her. You've blindly put the two together, and that won't help you.

3. Quit spamming your "defense" list of Rarity and her element. They clog up the threads and make your opinion look very weak. Instead of solving the problem, you're becoming part of the problem.

4. You're at the point where you feel like you have to defend her all the time and equating criticism of Rarity to hatred of Rarity. By doing so, you don't show that you like Rarity anymore. Instead, you glorify Rarity, and that's just as bad as rabidly hating one. Learn that the characters, including Rarity, are sometimes not written that well all the time, sometimes to the point of being irritable and unlikeable. Your character isn't absolved from criticisms of any kind, including from your fellow pro-Rarity bronies.
