| Altruism Assassin  Location: Massachusetts Posts: 5,357 | Wasn't loved as a child? Deep seated need for attention, mother issues, how should I know what makes people feel the need to ridicule things they don't like rather than just feel free to leave. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

Why can't people act like adults and simply quit logging in if the forum isn't meeting their needs?

 Throbbing Member  Location: Old Europe Posts: 7,439 | I take a more nuanced view.  If -- unlike Para -- you've invested time on a forum but been repeatedly frustrated by the numbskulls you end up debating with, I can see making a statement before you leave. I can also understand logging on to see whether your exit has made any waves. "I wish I was as cocksure of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything." -- Viscount Melbourne |

We will just have to find the strength within ourselves to continue on without you. Believe it or not, these are fun to read. It gives me a good laugh before reading something more serious. Don't forget this is all in good fun! "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." Albert Einstein "The devil is in the details" -? | |
