Rumours of my departure weren’t wrong, but it turns out they were also premature. I’ll spare the details, but the kind notes from many people here, plus advice from others has persuaded me that my instinct or habit of walking away (well, fleeing) from problems rather than facing up to them just exacerbates my own issues. And it’s foolish to leave a community and a lot of really good people I care about, and from whom I derive a great deal of pleasure and insight thru our interactions, due to some isolated negativity.

So, going forward, I’m seeking to be more positive and constructive, emphasizing the good while pushing aside the bad. Further to that, I want people to know that if I ever say anything in the course of a discussion that is hurtful or disregarding to anyone here in any way, please call me on it, publicly or privately. If I'm being a shit to someone, I should be humbled for it. I'm very serious about that. Life’s too short and this community’s too fine to let people feel diminished.
I was just coming here to say I missed you, you big lug.

Super glad you decided you could stick with this madhouse in a positive way. It would have been a major loss without you.

:cool:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I drank that bottle of bubbly for nothing. I feel like that poor horse from the Kentucky Derby whose celebration was nullified.

Jokes aside, you're not even a top five problem on here. You're not even a robot.

True, Flex accounts for at least 3 of our top 5 problems.

:shifty: is the greatest emote to ever exist. I can't count the number of times I've wanted to use it on other platforms.
I'm so punk, I don't even take my leather jacket off when it catches fire. Which it does frequently, because of how fucking punk I am.
