A thread Slash recently posted so completely offended me that I have decided that Hatrack is no longer the place for me.

What kind of world is this where the SON of the man who pays for this board actually encourages the whiny and self-indulgent to leave?

And so, I am going never to return.

well, except to check who comes to this thread and asks me to stay.

Please stay!

Please please please please please..... We need more portuguese speakers on the board.

I think (actually, I know) Slash was joking.

Plus, Slash isn't Geoff. Much as they would both like it to be that way.

Hatrack has a door?

I've been here nearly three years and I never knew that. No wonder I'm leaving.

We're each entitled to our opinions and positions here and that's why I respect this place. Even if I don't agree with everything I read, I agree that the people here are still worth knowing.

Sorry you're upset, but you're entitled to leave if you want and I wish you well.

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
 
I just saw the thread... Ok, now I get it.

I'm not changing my post though, because I think I've stumbled onto a fundamental truth here. Geoff is suffering from Slash-wannabeism! Or the other way around.

After seeing that you were leaving, Jacare, I have to say I've never agreed with Slash more.

Yeah, well you weren't threatening to leave, were you?

Well, I personally have always enjoyed your posts...

And I'm always always sad to see someone go...

And I didn't read that thread by Slash, I don't think, but I, for one, will miss you when and if you do leave...

However, you're free to do what you want, so if you do go, good luck wherever you end up!

1- About three years
2-Well, let's see. Olivet and Bonduca mocked me mercilessly, but I survived it. So yeah, my welcome was warm.
3- Slash didn't really start eating newbies until later. I did at one point try to associate myself with Slash as a fellow reptilian. He was pretty much indifferent. That feeling has pretty much characterized our relationship since then.
4- Do you mean other than Slash's thread? I am offended at all times by Eddie/Lalo/Whiteshoes. I was offended by Jeff Getzin a time or two back when we were nemesises (Nemesi?)
5- I met OSC once and was deeply, heartbreaking disapointed when he wasn't sure how to spell Jacaré. However, I've never met Geoff in person.
6-I get lynched in nearly EVERY mafia game, with the rare exception of the ones I am sheriff in in which case I am always forced to reveal my identity to avoid lynching. I was even lynched as moderator once. I guess I just have an aura of victim about me.
7- Sure, I guess I kinda enjoy it.
8- If Balrogs have wings they are purely vestigial since Gandalf beat one by throwing him off high places twice.
9- Why yes, yes they did.
10-Not really since my leaving thread is just an ironic joke.
11-Since I am the very smartest person at Hatrack I am intimidated by no one.
12-I'd attribute it more to hubris than inadequacy
13-To all Hatrackers who took this thread seriously and begged me to stay:
I think I will.
Now please turn up the sensitivity on your irony detectors.

Don't forget the time you could have changed your vote and been saved since the ENTIRE mafia but you voted to lynch someone else...

I'm still bitter about that one .

Since this is loosely about Mafia, too, I should point out that EVERYONE should ask Sara (CT) about her Mafia experience. It's rather hysterical.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
 
Zan, it was HYSTERICAL. She came over to our place and told us the story, and so I'm like, "So, Zan's the godfather, right, or at least one of the Mafia? Because it doesn't make any sense otherwise," and she looks all surprised and says, "But that'd mean he was LYING."

So I slapped my forehead at that point.

Thanks for the confirmation Tom. I knew that dirty Zan was some kinda bad guy, and I guessed that he was the godfather. Now I know

I said nothing. I revealed nothing. Just because Tom and Jacare are deluded, doesn't mean I should get chastised.

I'm sure there will be enough of that to around after the game is complete.

Posted by Jacare Sorridente (Member # 1906) on :
 
It was just Tom who was bad, and he isn't even playing. I merely confirmed what Tom said.
 

---

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :
 
I merely sent CT a message as a concerned townie applauding her efforts in killing those dastardly mafia and threatening her life if she didn't continue to do so. Is it my fault she turned out not to be the SK?

Posted by Olivet (Member # 1104) on :
 
Bwahahahahaahahaha-snort-hahahahahaha!

Jacare, I still have the tutu

Now I miss Bonduca all over again. Teasing you with her was one of the best online experiences of my life. *wipes tear*

Off-ing Jacare in Mafia games is practically a sport all it's own. It's not that you seem like a victim, or that you seem guilty. It's that we all hate you.

Zan was not lying. I have to edit this because I can't say anything starting with the word M without being accused of cheating by someone.

But feel free to come back any time. I don't dislike you, I just dislike the fact that your leaving just to entertain us and to make a statement about Slash, who may be cruel at times, but he is entertaining.
