Re: A sad day
Oh dear. Yesterday, Tony Dungy retired from leading my cherished Colts. And today, Kukri-Sama retires from leading the backroom. What next?
We will miss your example, Kukri. You exemplified the very meaning of your title with your service to the backroom. You were the epitome of an even-keeled, steady hand to guide this most turbulent of forums. You were the most courteous, consistent member here. May fortune guide your future endeavours.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: A sad day
I do not know what I could say that has not already been said.
Kukrikhan has always demonstrated the best qualities of an honorable man in all the time that I've known him, and his moderation has always been fair, so it is a sad day indeed to see him step down.
May God Bless you, Kukri, whatever you do, though I hope we will still have the pleasure of your company.

An ORG mentor is leaving me.
Any time I thought I had been wronged, Kurki always brought me back down to earth by reminding me 1. It's just an internet forum and 2. Everyone has a differing opinion.
Honestly, I credit everything to him. Without him chances are I would've been banned long ago. Instead I am a senior member with legions of followers. All of you and myself can thank Kurki.
We are truly less without him.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

Re: A sad day
I agree, I hope Kukri will keep posting here, always appreciated.
But I must also say that I think you are capable of walking in his footsteps Banquo. If the master is good, the apprentice will be better or how they say, so I expect excellent moderation from you, Banquo.
Not like I had any complaints until now.

Re: A sad day
I'll just say this.
What a top bloke.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
