I guess I have to go. And I am kind of ashamed that I didn't leave when Wraithsword did, because... he's my brother! (...)

Whither are you going? And for what length of time?

Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :

::double take:: Wha? What's with the sudden exoduous?

[Wave]

Come back soon!

If it makes you feel better, pooka, I only manage to not be disrespectful to sports fans by not talking about sports.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Hey, pooka, take care of yourself. I have no idea what's precipitating this (sent you an email message, by the way), and I'm only dimly aware of who wraithsword is/was here (was there some controversy with his leaving or something? I take it from you post that there must have been, but I'm afraid that I completely missed it if there was), but I hope to see you again here.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Is this about that Red Socks thing? Huh.

Yeah, sports have never really resonated with me at all either. I know that they do with some people, and that's fine, but when sports come up I generally just go and do something else. I don't have any problem not being insulting to sports fans, but their fandom definitely isn't anything that I share.

I get the feeling that it's not so much about sports.....I'm sorry if you've been hurt or offended enough to feel like you need to leave. I wish you would stay.

We'll miss you. [Frown]

I view sports about the same way I view comic books. They can be fun and enjoyable, but it seems a silly thing to devote your life to.

I don't normally weigh in on goodbye threads, but sometimes it's necessary to let someone else know they're still wanted around here.

You're still wanted around here, pooka.

Ya know, I'd rather someone obsess over sports and not their family.

Obsessions are rarely good things.

Pooka, I also get the idea that there is more than this going on, so take care, and I hope you will be back soon.

I didn't think it was cool, what was said in the baseball thread, but it seemed like a weak joke to me, and not something particularily mean spirited. I think Paul overreacted, but that happens....I've done it a few times myself... [Blushing]

So I hope you are OK, and Wraithsword too (although I didn't really care for him, I never wished him ill).

See you....whenever...

I'll miss you, Pooka. Please come back eventually.

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

Pooka, you will still be in our NaNoWriMo group won't you? I hope, I hope!

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

I hold out for your eventual return. I totally understand if you need to be away for awhile. [Smile]

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

*nods* Oh yeah, taking a break is totally the right thing to do at times. I may take the entire month of November away to concentrate on writing myself.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

pooka, I hope you'll come back someday. Take care of yourself. [Frown]

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Eep! Pooka! Come back!

Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :

I hope you take some time off if that's what you need, Pook, but I also hope you eventually come back. [Frown]

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Good luck pooka, and hurry back... Hatrack definitely won't be the same without you. [Frown]
