    Despite what soly claims, this is his first post in days.

    *shrug*

    Just seemed a bit discourteous, but I guess it's water under the bridge. I really doubt he's coming back.

    Don Corleone is not just saying goodbye, he is asking that we pity him because 'Soly won'. I can not respect that, sorry. This thread doesn't belong here anyway, I hope mods will move or lock it.

    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.'

    Regards, Don Corleone. I have enjoyed your participation here. I also understand your decision.

    My first post at the Wolves forum way back when was an indignant one, defending a close friend and group leader who had been baselessly insulted (I wasn't asked to; it's just in my nature to do such things). After speaking my mind, I declared that I'd never post there again, and I haven't. I have friends among them, and just communicated with them in other ways. Indeed, may your resolve be firm; there are many other cool "places" to hang. Respect--whether your style is like mine or not ... .

    It was a mod who moved it here.

    What really bothers me is that we, Backroomers, are beginning to overstay our welcome at the .org if we pursue each other all across the .org and continue filling forum after forum with our personal attacks and ugly recriminations. The self-importance of some Backroom visitors never ceases to amaze me.

    Wah, wah, wah...

    What a bunch of whining.

    You guys are all acting like the Don has died or something.

    He will be back, I guarantee it.

    Know how I know that?

    Let me tell you:

    Signor Corleone made the fatal mistake of giving me his personal email address in a PM. If he has not returned within thirty days I will engage in such a campaign of annoying spam email against him that he will come back just to have a moment's peace. If any of you were also given the address, I suggest you do the same.

    Where did this happen other than in the Watchtower and Backroom- which are the approved places for such?

    Don, was a good contributor to the backroom- it'll be a little more dull without him.

    Zorba,

    Gawain is one of the finest debaters and most iron willed members of these forums. Goodness knows he and I disagree on a great many issues, but to dismiss him as a nutcase is to fatally underestimate your "enemy".

    Besides that, your comment is rude, insulting, and not allowed in the Frontroom and you will remove it. Thank you.

    Gawain,

    Sorry. Never noticed his comments until your post. Then I found it.

    Gawain, I apologise for that particular comment. I did not realise how insulting it would sound; it is just one of those problems with communication. If someone called me a nutcase, for example, I would not be offended; however, not wanting to antagonize anybody, I have removed it.

    Oh well, Don was probably the nicest and the most objective right winger here. I'll sure miss reading his posts.

    On the other hand, I'm fairly sure he'll come back sooner or later. At least that's what I hope.

    Don, sorry to see you leave, my friend. Don't feel too proud to return if you ever feel the urge.
