Well...

I guess I ought to say good bye to all you folks. I could do a nice long teary "and you Scarecrow, I'll miss most of all", but screw that. It's been fun, but it's a new regime and all that. I had thought I was going to use this really cool quote from Full Metal Jacket, but you know, Tosa & the moderators work really hard to make this place worthwhile. I don't want to bugger that by being a punk.

So, goodbye. Have fun discussions. Remember, if you're not sure which way you feel, lean left.... less warnings that way. ~;)

Soly, you win dude. Have fun.

Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, daughters of Spain;
For we've received orders to sail for old England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.

We'll rant and we'll roar like true English sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas;
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England:
From Ushant to Scilly be thirty-five leagues.

We hove our ships to, with the wind from southwest, boys,
We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take;
Twas fourty-five fathoms to the white sandy bottom,
So we squared our mainyard, and up Channel did make

Now let every man drink off his full bumper,
And let every man drink off his full glass;
We'll drink be jolly and drown melancholy,
And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass.

take care, don.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is Don, Is Good (not sure if you get that ad).

Have Fun and if you ever get kidnapped by a pair of guys just hope it is the lefties Idaho and Jag. The worst that could happen is a pressing against the bladder due to too much tea.

I'm a brand new rookie member of this respectworthy, top quality online community.. Take my words for serious or neglect me, but...

I'm fed up with things going on recently. Yes, everyone has the right to leave as well free are they as to join, but not everytime we have intellectual patrons here. I'm a regular one, I must repeat.

If there are really some issues being focused on one of the moderation members, I think we'd better try to solve one really "problem". This is intending to be a backroom debate, by the way. At least after my reaction...

I simply don't want Don Corleone going anywhere. That's not such an easy "cry after" or "farewell" stuff. One forum has members that give its value. Moderation without anyone (or worth) to moderate would be meaningless, you see.

Clayton was tried harder to be kept as a member. I want Don Corleone back in the forums. No one won ever anything, Don Corleone. If there is a result, it's a loss, for the whole Org.

Regards..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'll avenge you!!!(and by Avenge, i mean spam the forum until im banned, then cry about it on another board)*

Excessive drama side, good bye.~:wave: The back room is now an even more unpleasant place:cry:

*ONLY A JOKE! PLEASE DON'T BAN ME!

Farewell, Don. May we meet again in better times...

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

:bow:
Crazed Rabbit

BAH!

This is no good.

Hey, this is good! May I repost it?

Sad :embarassed:

Take care, Don and let us know when the little one arrives :bow:

Goodbye Don.Crazed Rabbit couldnt have better words to say.I hope you come back someday.:bow:

-Kagemusha

Don!

You're one of the finest gentlemen here and it will be our loss if you go.

You are, of course, always welcome in the Frontroom. :bow:

:jawdrop:

Don, (I guess that's about your short name, as all others use it)

Sadly I might not have had the chance to get to know you, but I dislike to see you go. Cmon, don't leave your friends here because of one single person. The .org has got over 10.000 members and you leave because of an argument with one of them? think of all others. They will miss you, as you see, and I'm quite sure it's also the other way around.

Anyways I heard from Shambles that a new player in S:TW MP dropped by lately, was that you? I hope we catch up for a game or two later... but I guess it's hard for us to get in touch because you're leaving here. I'll send you pm with my msn/e-mail adress. Only hope you come back once to read it.

Take care.:bow:

ps: If you want to use the verb 'winning', then let me say something. By leaving, the person you had an argument with wins. You loose, we loose and the community looses if you leave us. :bigcry:

I am sad to see you go, Don. Let's hope it's au revoir and not adieu. You are one of the most genuine and reasonable posters I've had the pleasure to know. :bow:

Sniff, there goes to one conservative I could almost always agree with. Good bye and good luck to you ! :bow:

Goodbye Don, I'll miss your rightist views ~;)

Don , just because Soly is back and is modderating the backroom doesn't mean you ''lose'' and he ''wins'. It really shouldn't be the reason why you're leaving :bow:

Well anyhow, I always liked reading your rational backroom posts, even though I didn't always agree with your statements:bow:

Hope you'll be back, and good bye and good luck !

:balloon2:

This is shame since Don was the leader of the small subset of right wing posters who actually thought about what they were posting, expressed it rationally, and even on occasion changed his mind (and, equally rarely, sometimes changed mine).

The quality of debate is definitely going to blip downwards a touch.

Come on...
Everybody's leaving.... What's going on?! ~:confused:

Have fun Don, make sure you're gonna tell us when he's coming!!!~:cheers:

And be sure to come back....We'll miss you...

This is a family, not a place to argue over!!! ~:grouphug:

yeah wts going on...you Henry...some other before you

Have a good one...

I guess you are talking out of your rear-end. We will miss you a bit, but you will miss us a hell of a lot more.

So I'll just repeat to you what I tell my 8-year-old when he gets into a fit of rage again and threatens to walk away cause he 'hates' me: 'If it makes you happy, go away. But don't hang back, make sure you stay away and never blame other people for the choices you make.'

Hey Don,

Don't let us down! I do not really know what is going on here but please don't let us down! What the hell am I supposed to do without the only conservative who has an open mind? So think about it once again! We (the small group of non idiological people ~D ) want you back! Need you back!! C'mon!:embarassed:

This one's to you:
:guitarist:
Hey Jude dont make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
and then you can start to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain hey jude refrain
dont carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
by making his world a little colder

Hey Jude dont let me down
You have found her now go and get her
Remember to let her into you heart
then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in hey Jude begin
your waiting for someone to perform with
And dont you know that its just you hey jude you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulders

Hey Jude dont make it bad
take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
and then you'll begin to make it better

And take good care of the baby!:kid:

What? Are you serious? Are you really leaving just because you had an argument with Czar Soly? That's not a very good reason to leave a place like this. There are a lot of other people who still want you around, me included- you are one of the most stable conservatives on this forum. You are also a lively, intelligent member of the forum. Every time I read your posts, I am embarrassed at my own posting activities (the image stuff, mainly.) So don't go- even if the backroom is being moderated by someone who is apparently the leftist equivalent of Gawain, the Org will be a dimmer place without you.

I was going to try something to the effect of Adrian's, but I couldn't put it eloquently, and I didn't want to give you a reason for you to show that you can be bull-headed (we all know that you can already~D).

Don't let one little skirmish keep you out of here... I need someone besides Pindar and Gawain to tell me I'm an oppressive constitutional-authoritarian:book:

Hate to see you go Don. I hope to see you again. Be sure to take care of that new baby and take care of momma. Family business always come first, Don, always... ~:)

Hate to see you go, but good luck and godspeed.

Couldn't you have waited until he actually returns, like you predict he will, before being so condescending, Adrian? Sheesh.

It is true. Don Corleone is going to miss us more than we will miss him. That is why he has been saying goodbye for ten days now. Humphrey Bogard did it in ten seconds in Casablanca. What is America coming to?
~:cool:
