For the Road

[ER]

Hey, just wanted to say goodbye and good luck to anyone I didn't get to say that to individually last week. You're all, every last one of you, unique and interesting people and I hope all your lives are happy and all your movies are delightfully bad.

I'd like to tell you that despite how it looks, I'm not leaving because of things that happened here lately, a lot of things happened here lately because I had to leave. One last paradox for the road?

Take care of each other. I'll remember this place fondly and maybe stop back in and say hi someday. Thanks for an interesting ten years!

Pace.

Fair winds and following seas, lass!

It's always sad to see a member of the community go. There may have been some head-butting and controversy along the way, but we are all stuck on this silly planet so we should try to make the best of it.

Don't leave on my account. I don't run this board. What I say is my opinion only. Others on this board like what you say. Believe it or not-I like much of what you say too.

Hugs and may your feet find a welcoming path.

And one that brings you back here one day.

  Are you going to jail?

I think "ER" was actually "Eleanor Roosevelt," visiting us via time travel, and now having visited the future and seen how it turned out, she is going to return to her own time and poison her husband.

Goodbye ER, see you in an alternate historical timeline.

Good luck on your travels.

Wtf? Im at a loss for words. It truly makes me sad that you are leaving. ER, you have always been very nice and considerate to me. I have always enjoyed the things that you have written, and i appreciate the effort that you put into writing. You have inspired me and others to write more.

I hope you come back someday, you will be missed. I wish you the best of luck, happiness and life. Good bye.

Good. It was meant to be noticed. Someone hits me, I hit back harder. That's all I've ever done. Who is to blame, the instigator or the one who responds? Don't throw the first punch if you can't take the second.

I live in Ohio in the 12th wealthiest community in the US. Just true. I've also lived in Maine, Texas, Ireland. I've been a lot of places. I have little drama in my life except every time I come in here anymore. I don't want drama. And you said you wanted peace with me, RC.  Shame you didn't mean it. I always tried to have your back over the years. Think back, you know that's true. More than you were aware of.

A few of you, you know who you are, owe the fact that your rent got paid to me. One of you was homeless and I contacted you privately and put a roof over your head. You know who you are. Not one of you publicly stood up for me in here against petty attacks recently. Privately but not out on the forum. Ok. Your choice. I never asked for anything back, including the money.

This place...no longer serves its purpose. It did, though. God, if you guys knew.

Anyway,....enjoy each other.

Mixed messages.  It is dizzying.  Again, ER, I don't believe you, but I am concerned.
