Hi, everyone. It's me, Thuryl. Don't know me? Don't care that I'm leaving? Sorry to have wasted ten seconds of your life, then. To everyone who actually bothers to read this topic, apologies in advance for wasting two minutes of your life. I left for a few days, and now I come back to see half a dozen topics locked and the rest degenerating into petty bickering. Nobody seems to be able to muster the energy to make thoughtful, interesting posts any more. Furthermore, personal issues right now mean that I'm rethinking my priorities in life. Overall, these boards are taking up too much of my time for too little gain. Obligatory Personal Goodbyes: Djur: Looking back on all that's happened, I'm amazed you've stayed this long. Alec: You're really not such a bad person, once people get to know you. It's a pity you don't seem to want that to happen. TM: Ditto. tGM: You've got potential. Please, don't let the idiots drag you down to their level. Certain people (you know who you are): My departure isn't entirely your fault. On the other hand, you have bigger things to be ashamed of than the loss of one moderately active member. RB, Nye, and other intelligent newbies: We need more people like you. Good on you for tolerating the state of the boards right now. Things aren't always this bad. Anyone else: Most of you are good, productive members. It's just a pity that a few people have ruined the boards lately. Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Maybe I'll be back in a month or two, once things are a little different. We'll see. Regards, Thuryl -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Goodbye. You seem to be right about the sudden degeneration of these boards - over the past week they appear to have just become rubbish. Maybe it is only a coincidence that it coincides with SM coming back. -------------------- Riot Shields Voodoo Economics It's just business Cattle prods And the IMF I trust I can rely on your vote Posts: 530 | Registered: Sunday, September 1 2002 07:00 |

Goodbye, Thuryl and BtI. I can see why you're leaving, but this just leaves us with two fewer rational and intelligent people to combat the onslaught of stupidity. Good luck with whatever you choose to do with your newly prioritized time! —Alorael, who would also like to express his hopes that one day Thuryl will manage to pass the Turing test. Good luck with that too! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Meaning you're a hypocrite, or meaning you're leaving, Alec? Oh yeah, and bye, Thuryl. I don't know you enough to really say anything, but hey, that's much more than I can say for a lot of people here... -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

I am torn between tsking at Thuryl for a goodbye topic or thanking him for allowing it to be a generic "everyone at desp except Imby and maybe someone else" leaves topic. I've always lurked loyally on these boards, but lately I've not even read more than one or two topics a day. I don't feel like jumping on a bandwagon just yet, though. See all of you despers around. -------------------- desperance.net -- Come on in, we don't bite. Well, I don't. Posts: 218 | Registered: Saturday, July 13 2002 07:00 |

Wow... Looks like Jonestown Part 2 happened over the weekend here . I may not be the most enlightened being walking the face of this planet, but the level of discourse around here has dramatically fallen over the course of the last two weeks. I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to stick around and see where it's headed. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

My guess is it's leading to a nice peaceful time until people start coming back. Seriously. Look at the list of people leaving. I mean, if I joined them, it would be total peace on Spiderweb. But I'm not going to, so you'll have to be content with virtual serenity. Sounds good to me, anyway. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.
