Hey guys.

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Aug 15 '14, 15:46

Just a little drive-by posting. I hear those of you who miss me and wish I'd come back. It truly is heart-wrenching to see that and I'm sorry. I don't think I'll be coming back. Not for a while, anyway. I see plenty of folks - old and new - on FB all the time, including some ex-STers, and I miss those of you that aren't on FB. But I get why they don't come back here.

I think it was con_carne who said that one can only take so much abuse until he finally snaps. And those of you who think I somehow liked it are plainly delusional. If I did it on purpose - as I did at times - it was as a coping mechanism. I was your clown, but having you laugh at me isn't the same as having you laugh with me.

If your excuse was "Hey, we abuse groiny the same way and he's cool with it," I don't buy it. Surely he's stronger than I, but I don't think he likes any of it, and he can stand up for himself.

Frankly, I think that poking him for his hardships in life would is cruel. As cruel as chiding another certain STer for running over his son's foot, something I would never do, and I feel that STer would think to be off limits.

In short, I had enough of the abuse. I'm sure many of you don't much like the abuse you're receiving here either. There's other places you can go where you don't have to put up with it. You know where to find me. I can be the butt of your jokes if you like. But I don't have to read them any more.

P.S. Also, the fantasy sports talk. Come on guys. That was just too much.
