I'm Signing Off For Good

batguano · 07-03-2008, 01:49 PM

I have met some really great people on this site. We have exchanged ideas and information and I have enjoyed the interaction.

I am finding however there are some people here who demonstrate a lack of class and seem determined to stir things up.
To those friends I have met here, thanks for the great times.

Enjoy each other and keep it civil.

Farewell.

SXY_S2K · 07-03-2008, 02:30 PM

This makes me sad. I am so sick of stupid people. Sorry Bat, it was nice to 'know' ya...

phins2rt · 07-03-2008, 02:33 PM

Take care.

aladdin20110 · 07-03-2008, 02:40 PM

No matter where you go in life you will always have to face people like that.. but that shouldn't stop you or get in your way.

either way, take care

Pablo · 07-03-2008, 03:02 PM

We're gonna' miss ya! Hope to see ya at a Dragon event in the future.

dezignpro04 · 07-03-2008, 03:29 PM

Later Gramps!

lonestarbuzz · 07-03-2008, 04:46 PM

it's tough to see you go BG. you've had some very nice insights in the past and i wish you would continue.

Vezna31 · 07-03-2008, 05:18 PM

I guess he feels it will be any better over at S2Ki or S2KCA??

NOT!!

Joyce · 07-03-2008, 05:29 PM

Bat--------you must do what you think is best or what will make you happy, but I wish that you would reconsider. You can't let the stupid people push off the forum, you are a valuable member, your opinion is respected, and your posts are honest and insightful. You give good advice unfortunately some folks are just not grown up enough to accept it with grace.

Stay well and be happy----------Joyce

gomarlins3 · 07-03-2008, 06:10 PM

Wow, this comes as a surprise. I find this site very friendly and much more easy going than S2Ki. Sorry to see you go.

kgf3076 · 07-03-2008, 06:42 PM

Lee..where are you going?

chazdawg35 · 07-03-2008, 06:42 PM

Hey Dude hope your not trading the S2000 for an EVO! Why else would you leave, this site is DA BOMB!

bbcricketta · 07-03-2008, 07:07 PM

Scooter · 07-03-2008, 08:27 PM

Agreed, very eloquent Joyce, thanks.

I have to admit that I almost did the same thing a while back but opted to stay around a little longer. Nowhere else to go, though, so I wish you'd stay, Bat! The site will evolve as new people come and go, but there's an awfully good core of people with friendly insight and invaluable knowledge - including you!

s2kx2 · 07-03-2008, 09:06 PM

I understand Bat. There are many at every site you may venture too, to whom class is something that only bored them in school... buena fortuna & chao s2kx2

This means the inmates are taking over the asylum. I'll miss having another old guy here. Best of luck wherever.

Phil

Don't worry Phil I'm still here. Older than many, younger than some! But alas I'm not here often enough I guess. What the heck happened?

Bat, we'll sorely miss you. I'm kinda new here and don't get by often enough but I have read some of your posts, the fun you had with Pablo at the dragon, and many other such "droppings" you've left for us, sorry, but you picked Batguano and I had to play... Anyway, I don't know what could have been so heavy but it sucks to see you go. But, if you must you must. Do some sandbaggin, maybe you'll feel the urge to pop back in when the waters suit you. Thanks for your participation! Keep the shiney side up! Peace

H20 · 07-04-2008, 05:47 AM

Why the drama? What did I miss?? What the hell is going on around here?
Guys if you get mad just stay away for a week. No need to finalize anything. Geez.

Obviously the final choice is yours bat, but I for one will miss your thread replies. I beleive that this is a good all round forum, and if certain people rub you and others up the "wrong way" they usually don't stick around for long anyway. Maybe time for a vacation from this forum............
Good luck anyway...........Neil

Daddy Zach · 07-04-2008, 07:13 AM

Bat,
All the best, I have the feeling that you may wind up missing the site.
Another thought is your obligation to help us youngsters (49.. lol) in line

Cheers mate

batguano · 07-04-2008, 07:19 AM

I sneaked over here to answer a few notes.

It is possible that my fuse got much shorter than it would have been otherwise.
I have been nursing some pain over the past few days. Yesterday it got so bad, I went to the ER.What I have surmised turned out to be accurate. I have a kidney stone. If you have ever had one you know the definition of pain.
Hopefully, this too shall pass and maybe I will be in a much improved state of mind.
Many of you have sent me PMs expressing you wishes that I stay. That gives me something positive to help me decide to hang around. I am very grateful for your comments and friendships.

Thanks again.....Lee

jagg · 07-04-2008, 07:24 AM

Yeah BG,

Us youngsters, (21...LOL) need your guidance.

jagg

4406pack · 07-04-2008, 07:33 AM

even us youngsters (36) still need a little guidance now and then...

and i have had kidney stones before, so i Now your pain, hang in there little camper, hospitals have good pain killers...

Neil · 07-04-2008, 07:45 AM

Don't be adding functional to a disfunctional group there bat, your one of the lads.
Hope you get better soon..............
