I, for one, will miss all of these dramaqueen martyrs.* Archived Message
Posted by Lexillini on January 23, 2017, 9:29:36, in reply to "Adios and thank you, -ish."
 Previous Message After some -ish drama over the weekend, I've decided to leave this board until the looniness that the re-borners have brought back with them subsides. I apologize that this may come off as dramaqueenery, but after several posters asserted that people are not leaving the board because of the re-borners, I thought it important to explicitly state I am leaving because of them. But the real reason I'm making this post is to thank the -ishers on this board that have shown me so much kindness over the years. I've attempted to give back as much as you've offered, but I've surely not come close to matching your generosity in advice, recommendations and, at times, help that had very real monetary value. While I am leaving due to posters that I feel are ruining this board, I've stayed to this point because of the kindness of so many people here. I believe my New Orleans recommendations are floating around, so should you need them, someone should have them. Otherwise, I'll keep my user name active and check in on my PMs every month or so should anyone need to contact me. I'll hang around for the rest of the day in case anyone wanted to touch base prior to my departure. Lastly, I'd like to apologize to one poster. I've tried to treat most of the posters here with respect throughout the years, but there has been 1 poster I've continuously failed to do that with. Ace, as much as we may disagree on... pretty much everything, I often let my emotions get the best of me and said things I shouldn't have. I apologize for that behavior. Take care, -ish, and someone drop me a line should things change around these parts. -Carl Spackler
