Well, Just my opinion, I have never seen you act poorly towards someone. can't seem to recall a Mod or Admin having to correct you for not following Forum rules, etc.

As for your posts, they are a joy to read, And if nothing else, they sure get the community talking, whether they agree with you or not.

As for your really high goals, Even if you don't meet the end result of what you wanted, Look at what you did accomplish.

All in All, and I know people hate to hear this, But you already start with a modicum of respect when you join here, just for doing what we do. Add in posts that genuinly try to help people, that respect thing just goes up. Now here is the part that people hate.

You might have had a bad day, You might be needing that extra kick in the pants, or needing Internet hugs.

All the things you see are toys; at the end of the day, when you're alone in the dark, the only thing that matters is this...

[holds up the Book of the Law]
You WILL be alone. Upon retirement, you will take the Long Walk... which every Judge takes, outside these city walls, into the Cursed Earth. There you will remain for the last of your days, alone and carrying the Law. Class dismissed.

Wait, got distracted by showtime.

At the end of the day, It is you who either has self respect and esteem, or not. Maybe it's the old Marine in me, but I always hate to see interesting and honest people leave. And it is with that that I offer in all humility, F9thRet brand Epsom salts. Use this liberally and before long your skin will grow leathery and thicker, allowing you to continue to post threads which I find Relevant, Funny, and informative.

Seriously man, everyone here could post something nice about your posts, And many do. But it's up to you if you want to continue or not.

Anyways, my 2 cents, Digest and throw it out if ya want, Or try and take something from it, and keep going like the hero in the book Armor. Either way, I wish ya the best in whatever you decide to do.
