Goodbye, Cruel Cellar

Flint · 08-03-2006, 08:53 AM

I'm afraid I don't have the constitution to stomach this site anymore. Which is sad, really, considering some of the great people here. Maggie, with her pleasant, light-hearted banter. lumberjim, with his gentle, grandfatherly advice. Even capnhowdy, with his warm, welcoming spirit. These are the kind of people I will truly miss.

Unfortunately, there always seems to be one "bad apple" that spoils the barrel. I have learned this lesson the hard way, upon encountering the grade-A slimebag known as _______. Let me tell you, folks, this one is a real sicko. If he hasn't given you ths shaft, yet, let me just warn you: watch your back. I wish I could stick around, but this town truly isn't big enough for the two of us.

So, in the words of the great 20th century poet Steve Perry, "I didn't wanna say goodbye." Farewell, dear friends, and to the ones for which I hold a special place in my heart, rest easy, and always remember: you're one of the good ones.

Bye, Flint.

I just met you but I don't want you to leave. I am naive to most of the inner goings-on here, so I am unaware of who is making you want to leave (hope it's not me) but I think you should stay.

He doesn't mean anyone in particular; like most of his posts, it's a game. To call shenanigans on one unnamed person causes all readers to be suspicious of all other readers.

In your departing sorrow, you accidentally reversed these.

I for one will miss Flint, regardless of any tensions between him and others here. As a materialist and an atheist, I found myself agreeing with most of his arguments. There actually are atheists in fox holes, and they can be a lonely place. Oh well. Que sera, sera.

Oh com'on Flint. Name names! This thread would have had potential if you'd done so...:p

Anyway, so long, and thanks for all the fish!

Sorry to see you go, Flint. I thought you were one of the more interesting AG'ers, for what it's worth.

If I was Flint, I might feel compelled to start a clone thread, called "Goodbye, Gruel Seller" and tell that old Gruel Seller that we don't want no more stinkin' gruel. It'll just be oatmeal from now on, thank you very mush.

I was.

I can't put words in your mouth while quoting you.

Maggie,
was that you I saw protesting against the NRA?
