I don't blame you, Bunyip. I thought Zen' reaction was over the top and uncharacteristic. He's a really good guy, and honestly I find it refreshing that he is not perfect. However, I respect my parents and would not publicly humiliate them.

alsoI said that there is relatively little we know about Zen, personal-wise, so i didn't see what sorts of things he would find he had to censor. What's the difference of you reading his posts w/o joining or joining and reading his posts?

obviously every family dynamic is different, I do hope you two work yours out. i

Parents make you emotional. They just do.

Also, it's probably not about killing the hobos, it's probably about fucking 'em. That's a lot more embarassing in a parent/child relationship.

I have different eyes than the rest of you do.
But they're mine.

Which is why I cringe at the idea that I might want to look at something with different eyes.
Noes!!! These eyes are mine and I don't want to have to go through surgery just to try out someone else's, when the colour might not even suit me.

Same as keeping my eyes on someone; no thanks.
What if they don't wash their hands after going to the toilet?
And then they accidentally touch my eyes?

Far more hygienic to keep them where they are.

Sundae, you should always look through as many eyes as you can.

You'll see more.

Bunyip, I hope you don't feel badly about this place. Sometimes the peeps here give me the shits too. some of them are arseholes imo. Most are pretty alright though.

I think most were just a bit shocked that Zen would just leave. Don't remember if I mentioned it, but my 16 yr old son is a member here (not that I think he ever visits these days) but personally I don't care if he does or not. I don't have secrets from the kids that I share with the rest of the world. I'm pretty sure he thinks he has secrets that he's keeping from me though. lol More fool him really, but that's kids for you.

Thanks, Ali.You are beautiful. Zen does keep his cards close and I respect that.
It was a shock to me, too. I just hope he is OK, he probably would not appreciate me getting in touch ATM. I hope he keeps in contact with some of you by PM.

Ex-squeeze me? How do you think dead eyes will help my smiley-customer-facing-retail-position? Also I must needs draw your attention to my previous comment about surgery. You think I'll just pop mine out with a rusty spoon and sever the optic nerve?

Think again sistah.

Tried that once, after I spent the night with Mick Hucknell... Very painful. I still have ginger flashbacks.

You're right on that Bunyip.

But as Ali said, your circumstances are pretty uncommon. Usually we judge newbies purely on merit. Anything which appeared personal after Zen posted was based on the fact that we were losing him. He's one of the stalwarts here now.

I just realized the plot twist: Old Bunyip IS Zen.

Well, there was one confusing post where it sounded like he was talking to himself, or about himself in the third person. But I assumed I was just reading it wrong.

Bunyip was quoting Zen's original post.
