In all fairness Icarys only stated what CrappyDom himself admitted to. Since then it has been pretty one sided mob rule kind of situation, where you expect a single person to argue against a dozen at the same time. As often happens when god forbid someone says something not contrite.

Some people are liked some people are hated and some people neither. All required for people to feel good about themselves in comparison to others they know nothing about I suspect.

My whole problem with the initial posting was simply that he didn't have to go on about his personal life.He could have just said he was leaving for personal reasons.If you post anything on a forum, your inviting people to comment on it.The fact that he did said to me he was looking for attention.You don't like my posts..so be it..you don't like how i stated things.so be it..such is life.as for threadjacking..wasn't my intention..just commenting on what was said to me.It's a bullshit thread anyway.


Yes, well, there are lots of us who call bullshit when we see it and the post above fits nicely into the bullshit slot. Your initial post consisted of "blah, blah, blah" then a sign off. You didn't call him an attention whore or tell him to grow balls until later .. and only after someone else wrote along a similar line which certainly appears to be validation posting. And to set facts straight here .. when you called Michael an attention whore and told him to grow some balls and when you wrote that the thread was full of ass kissers .. you weren't replying to a post directed at you .. you replied to a post someone else wrote in regard to the OP that mirrored thoughts you hadn't bothered to post (for whatever reason) .. then the shit rolled down hill from there. As I recall, your 'blah, blah, blah' post didn't generate a single response.

As for not intending a threadjacking .. such is certainly belied by the "7000" posts crack.

Prevarication rarely looks good on an adult much less one who "personally prefer Gor, what i believe to be, a stricter protocol driven no nonsense way of life."

Nonsense has infiltrated many of your posts in this thread so you might want to rethink that philosophy. You've written well in the past and with thoughtful consideration so in addition, you might want to give some thought to doing what worked and leaving off the bullshit. Unless you have some form of MPD, it's quite a contradiction of styles.

FC, I'll have to disagree with your assessment as well. I read through Michael's post again and no where did he say he was an attention whore nor that he was leaving to go grow a set of balls. A man who has determined he needs to reflect internally and seeks a different path to find himself and who further is open and honest enough to admit it ... already has balls. It's Michael's honesty and openess that have driven many of us to wish him well and I think he's also open and honest enough to be aware of the fact that his presence will be missed and wondered about given that he has posted often of his life in ways which have helped some people at least reflect on certain subjects and aspects of their own lives. Obviously, MMV on that subject and you're entitled to your interpretation.

I've stepped away from the boards before, and I am sure I will again.  Real life really is real.  I don't consider Michael's decision a negative one in any way.  Hell, domiguy told me that getting banned was a favor to him, because then he had to focus on real life.  If nothing else, it gets you away from threadjackers who are so disconnected from positive human interaction in real life, they generate "conversation" with themselves by constructing an online insultfest.

I'm not usually this repetitive when I post, but I'm trying to make a point here.  If you're not able to ignore trolls and people whose idea of a good time is to vomit their psychodrama, then it's better to LEAVE, and find people with a connection to reality.



I miss domiguy too.....
   they banned him?  damn...I didn't know..
hey!  no one asked for my vote!!

I don't miss Domi here on the boards, though I would be happy to meet him IRL.  Michael is far from a favorite of mine, but he has touched many lives here, shared many excellent ideas, and been an open and helpful disher of the clue-by-four.  I wish him well, and hope that he returns when he feels he's able.

BSB, I wish YOU all the best as well!  You could have been riding the drama llama big time, and you never have---you are a very classy lady, and I wish I shared your shoe size!

nah, chances are  one of the mods will smack ya an put you on moderation, then all your posts will have to be personally approved of by the mods before you even get to post, and they won't approve of anything they think is pot stirring bullshit.

i think i've read all of Michaels posts.  when i was a nooby he struck me as impressive to say the least.  i didnt' agree with him all the time, but he had my respect. 

i find it a little sad that some need to come in and make a whorific sideshow of this post.  live and let live and all that good stuff.

Actually I was on my way back to the forum to post and found that person saying something along the lines of what i was thinking.So yes, i decided to post what i was thinking anyway.

As for the 7000 point comment.I posted that with a little sarcasm much like the Gorean comment.Of which nobody seem to have gotten..only used it for a way to attack lol.It's okay with me everyone, jump on that bandwagon.:>

I've not seen a post like his that wasn't crying out for attention.His is no exception.I don't buy it for a second and if he's so honest/open he'll reflect on what was said and speak on it..

He's been around on the forums for awhile i'm sure.Makes no difference in this post to me.Doesn't mean he gets a day off when it comes to me.(Now i'm sure someone will have a new thing to say or yet another problem with what i've said)this is my last post on the subject.

Well Wishes.

Iron Bear for showing me that some Goreans deserve respect.



Totally off topic and hey Im a bit ditzy and admit it, What does IronBear have to do with this thread at all.  Im in contact with him all the time and I dont see the corilation putting him in the mix of this roar of words unless it is just a off hand remark that IronBear in all his knowledge in many fields is due respect, IB dropped his gorean robes a couple of years ago and felt the Victorian lifestle seemed to fit better.  But even that doesnt take his vast knowledge of it away. I have leaned alot from this friend and oddly he has learned from me. Give and take baby.

If you saying he is one you respect, then I truly cant understand you slamming Crappy and those that  respect him 

Im confused but often thats a given.

*deleted personal comments and staying out of the fire hopefully.*  OY Veh except  familiar posters that disppears who might not be on your fav to email list out of the blue always make me wonder if something horrible (as death, illness another such critical thing happened) I rather see it was by choice or the reason. I have an unusual morbid way of thinking about disappearees. I might not love and lick em goodbye to death, or have a yay this person is gone happy dance, I just curious by nature.

Just really wanted clarification on the quoted part for curosity sake since I do talk to IB frequently he is on my family online list.

I took an absence from a rather large group that I was heavily involved with, we had a message board on Yahoo Groups. It was the right thing for me and I said goodbye publicly too. I did this for two reasons. One, there were far too many people that I had positive contact with  and two, it was easier to say it all at once and not listen to those that would try to talk me out of what I knew was the right thing. I am sure it is what Michael needs. Although I don't always agree with him, he seems to think before he says something, which I hope and believe is likely true of his actions also.

That is exactly what I was trying to say earlier. As SimplyMichael or even CrappyDom, He has had postive contact with far too many people for it to make sense to say goodbye individually to each person. 
It's been less than a week and I miss His presence here terribly.  I find myself coming to the boards less and less every day. Knowing that I am not going to see His posts pop up lessens the allure considerably.
