Why?? I will miss her.

An accumulation of things. Who knows, it may just turn into a break. You can chat with her on Facebook. Lots of old folks there now, not just for kids anymore ...

I can understand. I wasn't planning on coming back either.

To each there own, but I never quite understand why people leave message boards 'forever'

other than severe harassment, I don't get it and in the case of harassment a moderator should intervene and prevent that from happening.

I liked mrgisevil's sense of humor, to be bad she made that choice

AZ and people leaving is kind of like a herpes lesion. It (you) may go away for a while, but eventually it(you) comes back ;)

Gee, thanks for the flattering comparison. :p

It comes to a point when you wonder how much drama you're willing to put up with. I don't have to come here. Nobody does. I have other forums and people IRL. When it gets to a point where a forum is affecting you IRL, you start to wonder why you bother. (I don't think this is off topic either). I certainly don't frequent here as much as I did before...

Oddly, aside from a few arguments here and there; well a lot of arguments with snowman way back when; I've pretty much always been able to avoid drama here and the other message board that I frequent.

maybe I'm just boring :lol:

It's always a matter of degrees of tolerance...some folks have a higher acceptance level for whatever.

No matter what you post publicly you can bet someone will take offense.

Honestly, the moderator is best off staying in the background. But if something bothers me I post about it because it probably bothers a few others too. Just by showing we pay attention most folks keep it in check.

People play nice here...no need to be overbearing.

That is what's cool about it---I really can't think of anyone here I wouldn't like to meet in person.

I have trouble imagining allowing anything from a message board to actually affect my life. Of course, I'm a cynical cold hearted bastard who just doesn't pay that much attention to those around him.

Maybe I've just got Aspergers.
Or I'm just an assburger (whatever that is)

It looks like I wasn't alone .. a few others had a lot of bottled up emotion too for different reasons than what I had I guess.

I've noticed that nothing stays bottled up around here for long.

It's all really just your standard mid-summer lunacy symptomatic of a lack of gravity assisted turning.

I really need to take up kayaking in the summer...maybe next year.

Sadly, as you know, I just don't have that kind of time anymore. Things are easing up a bit now.

Work and family take the lion's share.

What we should do this winter is ski together.
