Probably yet another senior who doesn't feel senior (most of the time)

[dobielvr]

Oh no, sorry to see you go
Take care.

There must have been friction that I was unaware of it. So sorry to learn you’re leaving. You’re comments have always been so insightful.

 

[Lewkat]

Take care asp and good luck to you. We'll miss you.

Goodbye all, its generally been fun until it wasn't.

That's unfortunate. You started and contributed to some really great threads and the forum could use more of that..

I would have been gone a long time ago if it wasn't for the ignore feature. There's no reason to put up with a-holes online. In person, sometimes it's not so easy to avoid them, but in these forums, you can just ignore them.

 

[Jules]

these forums, you can just ignore them.

It’s an excellent feature.

@asp3 ......Sorry to hear of your departure.
Good luck in your future ventures, and in finding what you're looking for.

yet another senior who doesn't feel senior (most of the time)​

You know I don't "feel" senior most of the time, but when I compare what I can do vs what I used to do I can see it sneaking up on me...

What happened?

Internet forums can be a rough and tumble place where it's sometimes best to step away if the posts are getting to you and that's what asp3 seems to have done. Having stated it's no longer fun, I suspect his leaving is the result of some "bite and get bitten in return" scenarios that can evolve out of impassioned posts or responses. One way to avoid that is to never post or reply in the heat of the moment without thinking things thru carefully and then only after you've cooled down. We certainly hope asp3 comes back.

I'm sad to see you're leaving, but wish you all the best in life. The forum has seemed to be a bit more negative lately.

Goodbye all, its generally been fun until it wasn't.

Please consider this a temporary break.

The contributors and topics change quickly on internet forums like SF.

Good luck!

 

[AnnieA]

Hoping this is temporary! We don't always agree but I love your thoughtful, well-constructed posts.

 

[Murrmurr]

Echoing the positive comments.
Hope to see you later, asp.

 

[StarSong]

Hope you return, @asp3. I always enjoyed your contributions.

So long Asp...sorry you're leaving but when it's time to go it's time to go... we've all done it at some time some place..hopefully we'll see you again one day.. take care!!

 

[Aunt Marg]

Goodbye all, its generally been fun until it wasn't.

Have always enjoyed your company on the forum, Asp, so am very disappointed in your departure.

You always brought great conversation with you.

Safe travels.

 

[Keesha]

Sorry to see you go asp3.
Hopefully you’ll miss us enough to return and if not I sincerely wish you the best.
Safe travels.

 

[katlupe]

I am sorry to see you go too. Please take a break and then come back.

asp3, I recently considered leaving because I was pretty sure I'd get responses to a post of about an issue I'd said that they would challenge. The responses were carefully worded, which I appreciated, but evidently were actually subtle challenges to prove my view. zzzzz
