    Default 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.

    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.

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

    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.

    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 ) want you back! Need you back!! C'mon!

    This one's to you:

    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!

    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).

    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

    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?
