Subject: BS: I'm not here any more. From: GUEST,The guy who used to be here on a daily basis Date: 28 Sep 06 - 10:07 AM I have left. I have walked out. I'm not visiting this forum any longer. I'm finished with it. Through. Done. I have left the building. I'm gone. You won't see me here again. Never. I'm outta here. Matter of fact, you didn't even see this post, that's how gone I am. Live with it, you creeps. You're going to have to do without me in future. I can certainly do without you. I don't even remember being here, that's how gone I am. I'm not here any more. |

Mick ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: RE: A warm goodbye, from The Shambles. From: Big Mick - PM Date: 22 Jul 99 - 09:58 AM >Snip< There is a distinction that I would make. This is different from the fella (you all know who I mean, won't say the name) that insists on taking his nastiness to the personal level and inflicts it in all threads. His attacks are personal and he makes it impossible to avoid him. If that is what was happening then I would leave. But instead of making it a show, I would just send personal letters to those that I were close to, explaining my decision instead of making a public display. I would probably do an email to Dick, Susan and Max, as well. Hate to see you leave, Sham. I would have expected you to stay and promote and defend your views. Mick No comment required. |

Subject: RE: BS: I'm not here any more. From: gnu Date: 28 Sep 06 - 02:08 PM Seems like you can't have a party without party poopers. I'm with Wesley S. Let's get this party started anyway. Ignore the party poopers and they will not go away, it'll just be more fun. So, as far as GUEST leaving before I had a chance to say goodbye, I think it's really neither here nor there. Kinda like trying to put Descartes before des whores. |
Subject: RE: BS: I'm not here any more. From: Jeri Date: 28 Sep 06 - 02:21 PM Monty Python Galaxy Song Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown And things seem hard or tough And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft And you feel that you've had quite enough Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour That's orbiting at 90 miles a second, so it's reckoned, the sun that is the source of all our power The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, of a galaxy we call the Milky Way So the planet revolves at 900 miles per hour. the earth orbits the sun at 90 miles per second (5400 MPH), the galaxy is expanding its way through the universe at a million miles a day (694.444 MPH), and rotating at the same time, at 400,000 MPH. I figure we're moving at about 1,100,744 MPH while we're sitting still, and we aren't travelling in a circle, so I figure we're never going to be where we are now...or were now...or then. One wonders how far we really go when we walk to the store, or how far that poor little bug has to travel when he crawls up...(No, Jeri, just let it go...) But...

Subject: RE: BS: I'm not here any more. From: Big Mick Date: 28 Sep 06 - 03:42 PM Sure there is a comment required, Shambles. You have just demonstrated again why I believe you should be banned. You take one comment, made 7 years ago, quote it in a vacuum, as if nothing had happened in the intervening time. You completely ignore the incessant rambling and attention getting ignorant drivel that you have put out since that has caused most people to come to the conclusion that your posts have no redeeming value. If you want to hold me to my words, fair enough. But use them in context, and post all relevant observations made by me. And you left out the most important one. You have been asked to leave by the owner. Please comply. HG, it should have been obvious by now that your comments are not taken seriously by anyone. You blew whatever credibility you had years ago. Everything was good until I had the nerve to disagree with you on an issue. You went so far off the deep end, that all could see what you were about. Now you post anon, but your posts are so easy to spot as to be ridiculous. You are one of about 3 (including himself) that defend Shambles inane ramblings. Your comments about me have no effect, but to show you for the bitter person you are. Physician heal thyself is good sauce here. Damn, it felt good to get that off my chest. Sometimes you just get tired of taking shots from people that offer nothing to the mix. Back to the mists, Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: I'm not here any more. From: GUEST,The guy who used to be here on a daily basis Date: 28 Sep 06 - 04:33 PM Oh, for Christ's sake, NO!!!!! No, no, a thousand times NO!!! I thought I had left this accursed forum for good, but I had to stop in one last time and see how certain people responded to my farewell thread. (They say curiosity killed the cat...don't they?) And what do I see? My thread has morphed into another stupid wrangle between Shambles and Big Mick, etc...the usual, in other words. The horror. The horror. Look, I did not mean for that to happen. Never in my wildest dreams. It was the last thing I wanted to see happen. Trust me on this! My farewell thread has been ruined and utterly compromised by getting drawn into Shamblegate. My dramatic au revoirs, my final exit, my homeric taking of leave...has been turned to shit before my very eyes! This is tough for me to say, but...(choke)(groan)(gritting of teeth)... I am willing to come back immediately if you just all stop the Shambles-related wrangles on this thread right now! It's a hell of a blow to my dignity, but I will, okay? I'll return. I'll darken your door again, even though I swore I never would. I'll kibitz here with the rest of you on a daily basis, even though I'll hate myself for doing it. Just STOP with the Shambles vs whoever stuff, please! I can't take anymore of that!!! I hope you all appreciate what this offer to return has cost me in destroyed peace of mind and loss of dignity, I really do. |
Subject: RE: BS: I'm not here any more. From: IvanB Date: 28 Sep 06 - 04:37 PM Frankly, I think we're missing the point here. I see the initial post on this thread as a parody of all the various "I'm going, won't you be sorry" messages we've seen over the years. |
