Well, I'm not leaving unless I lose my posting rights. I love it here. In fact you'll all note I haven't said a word about Pompano in months, I'm even
warming to the Kapt. and Lil' Tasha. The goat and I don't see eye to eye but we can co-exist. I'll even miss skeet's bombast and perhaps, just maybe
if the little professor were to leave who would we trust for true leadership. I could get through a half a year of down Dennis with my attitude right
now.
Maybe it's because things are going just swell for me right now. Two days ago I caught a 242 pound amberjack. What a tussle. Whew!

As someone who's been around on online communities since the newsgroups of the late 90s, my experience has been that when someone feels the need to
go out with a bang and say their peace, invariably it's to play victim and express how they've been mistreated and to garner one last bit of perceived
sympathy before either returning immediately or soon thereafter when they realize that the real world doesn't afford them the attention they crave.
It's really quite pathetic.

You dropped out of the Baja Nomads? Who'd miss you? That highway goes on for ever and the party never ends.

Because the board has been important to them, and they feel compelled to say they're disatisfied with the changes. They still feel attached to the
friends here that they had at one time, but many of those friends leave the board, one by one, and soon no one familiar is left to talk with.
Everything morphs.....as does the board. Leaders take over and followers leave.
I, for one, miss many of the posters who tolerated me when I first arrived and grew to be my friends here. The list is long.
I see this place as a neighborhood bar. The clientele is solid and they have their own seats, but they come and go. Sometimes they die.....and that
happens here. We honor in death those Nomads who have passed in our midst as well as those we hear about from times past.
What I'm trying to say is.....posters who announce their departure just want to be recognized as worthy of someone saying, "Please don't leave."
And.....they usually hear that. |
Thanks Norm.

Awwww Jorge........what a nice thing to say, although I'm gonna do my best to not test your resolve and stamina.
May fishing be bountiful and the wind be always at your tail.

Runner, we need people like you to stay and play, to always show us your good, human side -- sort of a model newcomers could emulate.

Careful Paula, I posted something about Mr. Bill's attitude, and the post is missing from this thread today!
Maybe he's lurking and sending in reports.

Thanks Osprey
Now you can remove tongue from cheek and tell me what you really think....
Actually I am a really good guy,
just hate to sit through these emotional goodbyes.
As I said, when I get ticked, I leave,
when I get over it (or get another fresh dose of Baja dust on my shoes) then I return
No teary farewells,
No gushy reunions.....
No drama
Just Do It!!!

Why Do People Announce They Are Leaving The Board?
Methinks that for many, it is merely just lonely folks needing attention.

I would like to take this opportunity to say I'm leaving this board. I feel the need to announce this for my own self important reasons.
Just kidding.

That was a right-on, well written post also.
Scary that it can just go away, I wondered about it also.
