    Default Goodbye to the backroom

    I just wanted to say goodbye to the Orgahs of the backroom, as I won't be no longer a poster in this part of the Guild, bare a respones or two in this thread. Perhaps I still write something in the ETW sector. It was nice as long it lasted

    OK. Why?

    Rory summed up my thoughts nicely...

    most members like to leave all dramatically with a big announcement, a series of accusations and alot of criticism... kadagar style...

    but this is a bit empty, wheres the emotion.. the recriminations..

    Another honest backroomer lost to the tyrannical mods.

    I demand that we draw up a constitution!

    Finally, the third estate will rise to prominance, no longer will the ordinary Orgah be subdued. The tyrannical mods, representing the first estate, will be removed from power - Tosa's henchmen will oppress us no longer, for there is no King without the Bishops Administrator without the Mods. The landed interests of the Senior members will be eliminated, destroying the second estate. The greatest power will no go to the greatest number, isn't Bentham happy!

    Meanwhile, from now on, all those registered in the eyes of the site shall be called 'Gentlemen', after the manner of the citizens of the Venetian Republic; while all will have the powers traditionally held by Assistant Moderators, the wicked priests to the episcopalian Moderators.

    With all members able to 'correct' each others posts, the collective will of the Backroomers will leave no text protected from our righteous crusade, and all posts will reflect the revolutionary sentiments of the average Orgah!

    Uhm, so we're going to write up a constitution first and then devolve into an anarchist society?

    I hate it when the Third Estate gets uppity and seeks to make revolution against the order ordained by divinity.

    I suggest you state your grievances through the proper channnels. Then we'll look into them. Until then, I'm afraid I must assume you are, frankly, simply envious of the title and priveidges of us Senior Members.

    How about you devote your energy on trying to raise your pityful self to our level instead of trying to bring us down?

    I hope to see you pop around some time. I enjoyed some of your posts about economics and stuff, though I usually don't post in such threads to hide my ignorance.

    Goodbye Oleander! Take care.


    I do second the motion for more drama and slamming doors! I demand you return to each and every single post you've ever made here and edit them to all to, say:
    'Not enough censorship around here!!1!' , or
    'I hate you all! I HATE YOU ALL!', or
    'The evil bats that are hovering around my head made me do this!'

    Sorry to hear you go. I won't ask for the reason because if you felt it was necessary you would have shared, but I do hope it's not because anyone in particular. Thick skin is a must on this forum as I've learned.

    Well... bye, and all the best. I hope your reasons for leaving are not of the negative kind; things tend to get heated in the Backroom but it is almost never personal. I hope to see you in the more relaxed and non-confrontational atmosphere of the ETW forum soon.

    The others forums aren't controversial enough for me anymore... I tend to spend increasingly more time here, much to everyone's delight.

    Many enter the Backroom, but few ever leave.
