Break free while you still can!

[Richard III]

CFC OT IS an addiction. It's a waste of life. It used to be an entertaining waste of life, but after a couple of years of it, now it's made much more wasteful because of :

(a) dogmatism - not that there's more of it, but fewer strains of it
(b) close-mindedness
(c) the impact the close-mindedness is having on my once characteristic open-mindedness (e.g. rage, and close mindedness of my own)
(d) the fact that I barely touch Civ anymore
(e) ...and the fact that this forum, like the world, seems younger and younger

Now, despite the fact that there are about seven or eight of you who I hope to someday run into at an event and hear you say, "hey, I'm --------, but you might know me as ----------," it's time to break free from this ****. And, knowing that the thing that allowed me to break free from ANOTHER forum addiction was that I said something outrageous, in print, that made it impossible to come back, here I am saying it...

And before you know it, "poof" - he's gone.

Anyone with last cheap shots can feel free to e-mail me via the forum.

Goodbye! Remember: counseling is available!

R.III .... (still wishing there was a "salute" smiley)

I don't think it has. Anyway, what IceBlaZe said.

 

[Hitro]

What the two said.

 

[Enemy Ace]

Good luck to you, Sir. May your life be fruitful.

 

[Yoda Power]

Bye bye Richie

 

[Bozo Erectus]

So long RIII. Too bad, I thought you were one of the more intelligent posters.

 

[cgannon64]

Agreed, dumb pothead. I'm still entertained by this forum, so I am still here.

EDIT: I use this forum as something to do when I am home alone and bored. However, I have been wondering lately if this forum is a factor in the amount of time I am home alone and bored, wondering whether it actually does have some kind of subliminal impact on my social/personal life.

EDIT 2: This thread seems like a nice place to post what will be my "leaving" avatar.



Bye RIII.

 

[sysyphus]

Bye RIII... you'll be back

 

[Aphex_Twin]

The ME threads are more dangerous than I thought

 

[Skullbones]

Goodbye, Mr. III.

 

[joespaniel]

Thank god. I thought he would never leave.

 

[cgannon64]

Joespaniel posting, Switch 625 in the forum?

Its like by leaving, RIII brought back posters from the dead.

 

[Kinniken]

I hope you realise that by leaving, you are merely diminishing CFC's supply of intelligent posters with thoughtful opinions on many subjects!

Quitter!

Well, see you some other place...

 

[Cilpot]

Yeah, see you "elsewhere"

 

[ozscott75]

Jesus. What a drama queen.

 

[newfangle]

You'll be back.

[Archer 007]

Where is this new land of milk and honey Cilpot and Kinniken are talking about?

Really gonna miss all that intellegent posting though. You really helped change my mind about file-sharing
