      Steve .... don't really know you, but from what I have read on this thread, you are well liked by many .... Here is my advise, and please don't be offended

      so, let me speak honestly, and from the heart .... I have been frequenting several forums for several years (some very large 'fast moving' forums' where personalities 'clash' daily)

      when posting on a forum, you are merely a 'voice' with a name .... have a few drinks, type a stupid reply and you will get make nob of yourself (only for a day or two, then people forget, and most people who post on forums don't hold grudges)

      so not sure why you threaten to leave for good, then come back and post again .... but on a forum, you need to grow some balls and say what you feel and say what cheeses you off

      don't hide away in a corner, then sneak back in for a peep and throw the occasional 'comment' ....

      get over it dude, be a man and say what's on your mind

      I've seen them come ... I've seen them go .... but the really good ones always grow up and come back to stay ...

      so hoping you are a 'good one'

      :dunno:

      Dim,

      Steve hasn't given a reason for leaving so why do you assume he has been upset by something someone's said. Also, he is not sneaking around, just explaining when his present 'situation' eases he will probably be back!

      It doesn't matter how many forums you belong to, the people on GC expect to be treated with a little respect, especially where there privacy is concerned.

      If I was Steve I'd be totally offended by what you have said here and it's about time you found some manners and respect for other people!

        I always say it as I see it ....

        and that is the way I see it ...

        if someone is offended by my comments and thoughts, then so be it

        flippin heck! ... if someone posts a thread saying bye, at least have the balls to say why you are leaving instead of seeking attention and peeping at the responses and reading threads where people beg you to come back??

        so, I don't apologise, and am merely speaking my mind

        It is none of yours or anybody elses business why he has left. What if somebody has left because of illness, do you expect that person to plaster it all over the forum. I wouldn't.

        Personally, I think it's you that needs to do some growing up and have some respect for the people around you, whether on a forum or not.
        I think your attitude is despicable!

        I am now withdrawing from this thread and any future responses to your postings on any thread on this forum.

                    Folks, I think this thread has run it's course.. The only thing that is happening here is that members who normally get on well & peacefully are now offending each other over a personal decision another member has made...

                    This thread is now closed for the Peace & Harmony of the board..!!

                    Thanks

                    Marley..
