Farewell

Lord Justice · 08-31-10, 07:22 PM

As my acting diffrently from your ideas or wishes, seems to have caused a stir, (unwanted attention) I feel it proper to quit my lot. My thoughts were to bring a little spice to add, to the (sometimes) bland soup.

To everyone, my fellow sub simmers, farewell, it has been a privilege.

To the subsim forum, thank you, (and look after my crew, there the best Ive ever had.) This is my last post thank you all, 4 para, steven, out.

So you're coming back as John Wayne?

CaptainMattJ. · 08-31-10, 07:40 PM

well, that sucks. ive had my bad moments, and have been forgiven (maybe?). Its no reason to quit, unless he did something jaw dropping and downright completely vicious and cruel.

ddrgn · 08-31-10, 09:18 PM

If a captain should be good for anything its rocking the boat!

See my posts, no love loss here either, but hey that's what makes the board so much fun ;]

Well that sucks - you've always brought a smile to my face when I read your posts, and although sometimes they may be a little difficult to undaerstand - there are other times when you make more sense than a few others around here

I wish you all the best and I hope that you change your mind.

Absolutley its dramatic, people who post leaving threads on internet forums are always looking for some drama.
"I am Leaving for good" (except I will be back to check the responses to my leaving thread - maybe even reply to it?)

If some one really wants to leave a forum, they just leave quietly. Why bother posting goodbye? as they wont be coming back to see the replies if they are really going.
Not only that, but when people genuinely leave its because they have lost all intreast or no longer care.
But if you post a thread - it means you still care and are interested to see the responses!

Sorry if sound like a git, but that is one of the most basic traits of human behaviour.
For this reason I struggle to take 90% of 'leaving' threads seriously.

^ First thing I thought too, followed by the sound in my head of "join us again tomorrow night for the next dramatic bowl of spicy soup".

Absolutley JS, in fact 4Para's last login was:
Last Activity: 09-01-2010 01:25 AM (the time this thread was posted)

Lets check this again in 24 hours shall we?
That will be ultimate test to see if he is for real or not.

To me, there appears to be an element of the "pack mentality" about this whole thing. 4para was different, his style of posting also quite different and to me certainly it seemed as if some members felt it ok to pick on him because of this.

Whilst I agree that normally these "goodbye threads" are usually bad news, I wonder if perhaps 4Para feels a little let down by some members of the community and I wonder if he's checking to see if there is any remorse.

Food for thought eh?

The correct term is "mentally ill" okay.

I agree. Yes, his posting was different. However, there is no rule against it. He can type his responses in Morse if he so desires. What you never saw was 4Para attacking anyone. He was never rude, condecending or any other variation of nasty. Despite all of that, nasty is precisely what he got in return, and all because people didn't approve of his syntax. If that isn't juvenile, then I do not know what juvenile is.

Normally, I lock 'farewell' threads. Nothing good comes of them. In this case, I made an exception in the hopes that the community can learn and grow from this. Shame on us, collectively.
