Looks like this is Goodbye.

Well, kids, it's been fun -- mostly -- but I think I've put up with about as much abuse as anyone has a right to expect me to. So I'll put it to a vote: if, by the end of the day, the "Yes"s outweigh the "No"s, I'll say goodbye. If the vote is no, I'll stay.

It's your call.

Can I get you to jump flaming from a high building while singing the South African National Athaum and waving the national bird of Vermount? Oh and flim the entire thing in IMAX ready flim?

If not then I don't care if you leave or stay :P

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I voted yes even though I don't know why you got branded as village idiot. :P

I don't care either way. Unlike Azeron and Arminius you at least appear to be capable of rational debate.

Except in VERY unusual cases (ie. DarkStar) I usually don't care who is left here, secure in the knowledge that SOMEONE will be here.

If you grow a brain, we'll stop the flames. Deal?

I voted No. I'm not sure why you got the VI title, but then again, I don't care. If you make posts that are dumb, I'll flame ya. If you make posts that are intelligent and correct, I'll support/defend you. So, just how it is.

Going to eat him as well if he leaves? Just like the puppies?

Skimmer; the puppies started it. Not me. I'm merely retaliating in kind.

Oh big deal, you start a ludicrous debate, get mocked a bit and now you get huffy and want to leave.
I didn't see anybody throw any abuse at you when you were talking rationally.

You should stay, if you start debating rationally, if at all. I believe you are capable of some logic, and able to concede points, unlike Azeron or DarkStar.

Thanks, Iggy. I knew you'd come through. (By the way, I promised myself I wouldn't get involved in this thread after I started it. But at this point it looks like I'm giong to lose, so what difference does it make now?)

Sorry. I'm not as one-sided as my post appears to be. There were some threads where I actually did enjoy having you there, but on the flip side of the coin, I also found you to be incredibly irritating in several posts, especially "Panic..." and the VI newsgroup thread.

Overall, I'd say I'm one-third for you and two-thirds against you.

You know, to be honest, I don't want to go. I like you guys, despite all the abuse -- it's educational. But I will abide by your decision.

EDIT: As I read the poll now, at 2045 hours, it's a tie. I'll come back and see what it reads in the morning.

Good night, all.

You don't have to go, just shape up and make an effort to be a be more reasonable.

yeah, stay!

Reading the poll results as of 1405, it's 57% for me staying, 43% for me leaving. That qualifies as a decision according to the terms I laid out, so I'll stay.

If you're willing to debate rationally, stay. If not...

I change my mind, stay. It' s good to haave some opposing views or else we will turn out to be like the debate section of WCOTC. To bad I can't change my vote :|

I say stay. If people hate Azeron and Shep more than you, and they are still here, why shouldn't you still be here? :P
