We lost another one by the name of Dash. I'll try to breakdown the instant impact of his departure..
*None
"I joined this site in October of 2002"
* I'm very old.
"and up until the last year or so it was always a great place to be."
* No one hurt my feelings
"There are scores of really awesome members"
* An attempt at winning over the audience through compliments
", and though we didn't always agree"
*With me
", we engaged in vigorous debate and walked away with mutual respect "generally" intact."
*Unless you disagreed with me
"The new leadership on the board has ostensibly pushed me away."
*A fancy word that some assistant coach/Colts fan hurt my feelings
"While my typical response to such things is to push back and fight"
*Kick, scream and throw a fit
", I find there are better options for me elsewhere."
*A safe space where no one disagrees with me
"I know several of you will respond to this with snarkey comments and good riddance and that's cool."
*A way to downplay anyone who disagrees with me
"But I know some will take it seriously and those are the posters I will miss..."
* All three of you
"so with all of that said farewell both friends and foes...."
* A desperate attempt at sounding balanced and reasonable
"and ALWAYS GO BIG BIG RED."
* Another last ditch attempt to fit in after isolating myself
