Hello. CJCRANE Nov 2015 #1

Nicely done! HuckleB Nov 2015 #10

How else would you express self pity and self justification? (nt) question everything Nov 2015 #2

Good point. HuckleB Nov 2015 #11

Or maybe just to let your friends know that you are not sick. That they don't have to worry as sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #14

Thank you nt LiberalElite Nov 2015 #53

If you're "friends" you should be in KatyMan Nov 2015 #55

When you are as popolar and well respected a poster as the DUer who has decided to move on sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #68

Now I feel silly. HuckleB Nov 2015 #73

Did you see those tweets on a thread honoring her? Sheepshank Nov 2015 #103

Then say that you are taking a break for a while question everything Nov 2015 #110

Indeed. -eom- HuckleB Nov 2015 #111

I understand saying goodbye. redwitch Nov 2015 #3

Some well thought out goodbyes, have been worthy, indeed. HuckleB Nov 2015 #12

Personally, who cares. They may have a good reason for doing it of which they have a right or as I EV_Ares Nov 2015 #101

Why not. Get in some last insults.... randys1 Nov 2015 #4

Well, you know. I'm trying to avoid insults in my sober old age. HuckleB Nov 2015 #15

Ha! cwydro Nov 2015 #46

That's exaxtly rjsquirrel Nov 2015 #72

And FUCK YOU to the xy who did yz to me!!1 I'm LEAVING!!!!11oneone11 Number23 Nov 2015 #86

Probably just to let people know how they feel. I took a vacation from DU for 7 months. BlueJazz Nov 2015 #5

I've taken many vacations, some involuntary. HuckleB Nov 2015 #16

To get people to beg you to stay. kwassa Nov 2015 #6

Or maybe to simply let people know you are okay, not to worry. How cynical to assume sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #17

I prefer to assume the best of people whenever possible. sheshe2 Nov 2015 #56

I leave all the time and nobody notices Baclava Nov 2015 #7

Oh, I think they do. HuckleB Nov 2015 #18

Some people like to feel important OKNancy Nov 2015 #8

How sad, to always assume the worst of people. I take it they don't want people to worry so sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #19

Hmm. I don't know how one would explain a middle ground between these two posts. HuckleB Nov 2015 #22

It's not hard to think poorly of some fwcr posters Sheepshank Nov 2015 #105

I don't think we get to reach into the minds and thoughts of others and state why they do ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #42

The truth is no one would notice unless you said so GusBob Nov 2015 #9

Attention Renew Deal Nov 2015 #13

Or drunk. HuckleB Nov 2015 #20

Drama. linuxman Nov 2015 #21

Shh!!! Iggo Nov 2015 #24

You do speak truth. HuckleB Nov 2015 #29

Humans are emotional Trajan Nov 2015 #26

Emotions suck! HuckleB Nov 2015 #28

I think all of UglyGreed Nov 2015 #27

Hmm. How about some bourbon with those thoughts? HuckleB Nov 2015 #34

Thanks but I never tried bourbon UglyGreed Nov 2015 #38

Got it. HuckleB Nov 2015 #43

LOL UglyGreed Nov 2015 #51

Makers Mark? n/t GP6971 Nov 2015 #61

Sounds good to me! HuckleB Nov 2015 #62

Why suicide notes? jberryhill Nov 2015 #30

Uh, uh. HuckleB Nov 2015 #32

"Goodbye, cruel world" jberryhill Nov 2015 #47

I would have given anything for a note from my husband. ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #48

I am sorry for your grief. HuckleB Nov 2015 #59

I am so sorry Evergreen Emerald Nov 2015 #106

I suspect some of them are trying to convince themselves to the act, or from the act. HuckleB Nov 2015 #58

Sometimes when people frogmarch Nov 2015 #31

No doubt about it. HuckleB Nov 2015 #33

Because they want to. ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #35

You're post makes much sense. Still, this song also hit my head when I read your tag line. HuckleB Nov 2015 #69

Ha! I haven't heard that song in forever. ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #93

I wouldn't do that if I left, because the thread would set a new record Nye Bevan Nov 2015 #36

Lol! cwydro Nov 2015 #50

If you live in a very red community you may have no other political contact that's not hostile Fumesucker Nov 2015 #37

Good observation, as usual. Thanks Fumesucker. haikugal Nov 2015 #60

I don't see that. HuckleB Nov 2015 #83

Eh, I've never knowingly met another atheist either Fumesucker Nov 2015 #97

YAGE SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2015 #39

same with ignore - why do people feel it neccessary to tell you theyre putting you on ignore saturnsring Nov 2015 #40

That is weird, indeed. HuckleB Nov 2015 #63

The best is 'welcome to my ignore list' Action_Patrol Nov 2015 #74

Welcome to MY ignore list. kwassa Nov 2015 #78

WhooHoo! Thank you. Action_Patrol Nov 2015 #95

The best part is when they tell you they are ignoring you, but then occasionally come off ignore... npk Nov 2015 #90

So that they're saved the effort of posting to me without hope of response. sibelian Nov 2015 #99

They're free to do so. End of story. bigwillq Nov 2015 #41

When a favorite poster is leaving - I want to know. 840high Nov 2015 #45

The ones who do it almost once a month are the ones that I find tiresome. cwydro Nov 2015 #49

That is really the only time it grinds on me too. ScreamingMeemie Nov 2015 #52

Yes, I have to admit sometimes I do remark on the GBCW post, cwydro Nov 2015 #65

They lose their cool Rose Siding Nov 2015 #54

Sometimes it's not an intended permanent departure DFW Nov 2015 #57

Ouch, and good luck! HuckleB Nov 2015 #66

It won't be pretty, but I knew it was coming some day DFW Nov 2015 #108

So they can get hilariously get locked out of their own GBCW pity thread, of course. nt Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2015 #67

This must be a grand thread. Alas, I missed it. HuckleB Nov 2015 #75

Why do so many make such an issue of this. People are entitled to take leave however they wish, or merrily Nov 2015 #70

Do you like pineapple on pizza? HuckleB Nov 2015 #71

My point is, why do care if I have pineapples on my pizza or not? merrily Nov 2015 #85

Personally I wouldn't say goodbye. geomon666 Nov 2015 #76

Hi. bigwillq Nov 2015 #77

Hello geomon666 Nov 2015 #79

I've only met 1 person IRL bigwillq Nov 2015 #80

The first couple of years, it might have been different, indeed. HuckleB Nov 2015 #84

I still enjoy DU for information and reading articles bigwillq Nov 2015 #87

True enough. Still, it used to be more of a community, and that's not bad. HuckleB Nov 2015 #89

No, that's not a bad thing. bigwillq Nov 2015 #91

Good point. HuckleB Nov 2015 #92

Comic relief? JustAnotherGen Nov 2015 #81

Far too true, much of the time. HuckleB Nov 2015 #82

Sid and a few others (Creekdog maybe??) are great at keeping track of the GBCW posts Number23 Nov 2015 #88

Why not post a "goodbye" letter? nt ladjf Nov 2015 #94

It must be this thing called positive meta I just heard about, discovered in a DU lab. Rex Nov 2015 #96

Nice. Great term. HuckleB Nov 2015 #100

Thank you sir! Rex Nov 2015 #109

MY leaving thread was LOVELY. Everybody was so nice to me! sibelian Nov 2015 #98

people even do the goodbye posts on game messageboards. It's because they have a sense of community Sunlei Nov 2015 #102

I left a message board I was very entrenched in without posting a word. Butterbean Nov 2015 #112
