If he had disappeared quietly, somebody might have said later on: "Hey, where's IAintMoving. Anybody know what happened?"
So he gives us all a polite farewell and a God-bless-you, and people still find fault.
Amazing.
Ok, here's what I think we should do...........
If someone is going to leave, they can contact an owner or admin by PM and let them know they'll be going and even tell them why if they care to do that.
Then later, even months down the road, if someone starts a post and says, "Hey, has anybody seen _________ laterly?", the owner or admin can come back and give whatever explanation they deem necessary at that time.
End of story. No long, drawn out begging for you not to leave. No dramatic farewell. Nothing like that.
Now if you are leaving for a health reason or if you consider all of us friends and want to share that info yourself, that's fine. But it doesn't make sense to say, "ok, I'm outa here and I'm not going to read even one more post so don't bother asking me to stay."

That's JMHO
I agree 100%.

I read the original post as a statement against the direction the board has taken.
That's all.
And once again St. Mark's question persists why has the direction been what it is under pre-dominantly conservative leadership ... if indeed it has ever really shifted.
Seems to me it is a product of what was tolerated ... albeit kicking and screaming.

I agree. I, for one, would have wondered where he had gone. I hope someone would miss me too... I've been thinking of pulling the plug for a while now but just can't seem to do it

I have to ask, if one of your friends were leaving would you say the same thing?
