People come and go all the time.No big deal.
I have noticed too many personal judgmental comments,
unasked for unsolicited advice
and far too many threads off on a tangent that has
little or nothing to do with the original post. Just like in real life.

Also some of you question the motives of the poster! Seems annoying.
I still enjoyed my time spent on the forum.
I am not referring to my own posts BTW

You may disagree, okay. I will not be reading responses.
 

If someone responds, then obviously, they seek to know others' responses. How do we know Op is NOT reading responses? im p
 
Well... It's a free country... I for one have no idea who the OP is.... I guess his/her choice should be respected...
 

I only recall Athos posting once or twice. One post he asked us for a personal definition of an Arab saying I believe. In another, the subject of which I have forgotten, he seemed upset when some posters disagreed with him. Sigh. Perhaps sf was not a good fit.

Click to expand...

He had 68 posts..Click on his name and you can read them..Nothing unusual or earth shattering..
 
Why do people leaving a forum find it necessary to make an announcement along with a laundry list of everything that they perceive to be *wrong* with it? If they feel compelled to make the announcement that they're leaving, why not just say they're leaving because it's not a good fit...or simply delete their account?

A list of stuff that a member takes issue with? In other words, all the rest of us are fools to *put up with* that member's assessment of our *failings*. And don't bother to reply because he's not going to read replies? I'll bet money that he has read them and will continue to read them.

Every forum isn't right for every person. I looked for a long time before finding this one where I feel comfortable and welcome. And yanno what? It's insulting for Athos or anybody else to question our good taste.

Here's your hat, Athos; there's the door. So there.
 
It's called a "Hair Flip"

hairflip
When a member of an online community leaves a group or forum because they just can't take the heat - can be performed with or without a lame exit speech.
 
Hollydolly, I know, I know. I should really just come right out and say what I mean. Being perfectly candid has always been a problem for me. LOL

QS, I had no idea there was a term for it. Hair flipping. Okay. Sort of like thumbing his nose at us. He is a he, right?
 
Also called a "flounce" ("Well, I hope you people enjoy your little discussion" <slam dood>)

or a Richard Nixon "You people won't have ME to kick around anymore"

and a "GCF" (goodbye cruel forum)
