Sorry for the interruption

Post by Kelly Antilles »

Since I am threatening prescious positions on the top 10, I will cease and desist. In other words, I will not post again. I apologize for being so inconsiderate.

So long.

This is why we need a chat room! Then we can do small talk without polluting the boards.

Gee, no reason to freak out. But we usually do shut down threads once they become chatrooms; Verilon's thread got deleted.

That's not a bad idea. I looked into that a while ago, but I got sidetracked.

Theirs nothing wrong with posted huge amounts and working your way up to Beans level, as long as there's an actual point to them all. This is not a chat room. When you use it like one, your threads get locked. This board softwhere already offers private posting, so theres even less reason to use the main boards as chat rooms.

If your leaving over this, we'll then you really need to chill out.

Come on, Mike wasn't being serious. You shouldn't leave just because of that. A lot of people here cherish your presence.

Don't leave over this...heck, I've been a member just over 24 hours and I'm already in the top 250! :D

Seriously, you're actually one of the people I won't just skim through when I spot the 'tar. Losing you would diminish this board's spirit.

The last time I checked, you posted in lots of threads besides the one that got locked.

Kelly, you're acting slightly childish. The thread was locked because no one was contributing anything useful in it. You contribute to plenty of other places on the board. No reason to leave.

Which in turn was triggered by something I said in jest in a post that was about a serious as a Space Balls parody.

First RayCav now Kelly??? WTF?! Is there something in the air on this board? Next thing you know I'm going to want to stop writing.

Kelly, serioulsy, the thread was locked that is NOT any kind of slight against you. Nor is it some conspiracy to keep you out of the top ten. People on this board love you - OBVIOUSLY. Stop acting like this. If you're upset take the night off the relax but don't make these statements because they reflect poorly on someone that everyone hear likes and respects.

Try to keep this in mind, don't you see everyone's rapid attempts to talk you out of this course of action? Anyway, I hope to see you posting again.

Every one gets pissed sometimes, hopefully she will change her mind later.

As a protest I am holding a hunger strike until Kelly returns to the board. Or until lunchtime. Whichever comes first. Who's with me?

Now Kelly, you wouldn't want me to miss breakfast would you? It's the most important meal of the day.

Apologize for what? Closing a thread that was going nowhere and eating up bandwidth? The thread ran its course; we had our fun. Sure, it would have been nice if Mike let it go to 1000 posts (it was at 993), but it's a post-count. Who gives a shit?

Kelly, for God's sake, if people are upset over your departure, then you probably are contributing something useful to the board. Just come back and enjoy yourself. That's what these boards are for.

More bad news:
The reserve female has declined the invitation. If a replacement is not found soon we will have an all-male forum.
