				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

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

				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?

				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.

				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.

				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?
