I am out of here

Been wasting too much time here in general lately. I always enjoy talking about hobbies and banging bars with some of you over politics and other aspects of society, but wasting time just to argue with a douch bag troll is pretty sad. I consider many of you as friends but this ***** is just getting old.

I might be back someday, but for now, I am gone.

Hate to see you take a break Tim, butI can understand it. I don't read the writings of the latest troll except when someone has to quote him. The ignore button can be your friend.

I hope you change your mind, you're one of the guys I look forward to talking to. I understand though, you can't post an opinion on anything without the troll bombarding you with bs. It just kills the conversational tone of the board.

Give me a ring, maybe we can meet up with the wives over the next month or so.

Aw heck Tim, no need to bail out. You're probably just having something similar to what they call buyer's remorse. Remember when you got all flustered by the logic and said that you hoped my "...headstuds break, your timing chain tensioners fail and maybe throw in an electrical fire..." earlier today?

Damn but if it didn't happen when I tried to fire up my old '86 Euro Carrera Cab wide body!!

But not to fret, I forgive you!

So the guy chased you off Pelican? That's sad. I'd never let anyone run me out of town, but I can definitely understand taking a break from this place because of the time-wasting aspect. I'm sure you'll be back.

Hey RC,

There is something called Karma, and you will be aquainted with it, sooner rather than later considering the way you treat people here.

spots on.

witty jabs, here and there, are fine but the barrage of far from witty insults has gotten really old.

I have never seen such a troll last so long.

Speeder has a point; why let a troll like that sway you. But; really, I think that any place that becomes more work than fun is likely going to have people re-think why they take the time to be here. The analogy: you meet friends regularly at a bar...until the same loud-mouth drunk shows up day after day. ...occasionally stepping outside to puke on your Porsche.

Good thinking. A week or do ago, I swore to myself I'd never return... (edit) Speeder? Sorry 'bout that...

Too bad Tim... we may not agree 100% on everything (who does?) but I do enjoy reading your posts.

You also seem like one of the many PPOTers that would be fun to kick back with in real life.
