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. [Smile]

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.

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.

You're just bitter because I was going to get you killed off in mafia. You know very well that if I left you would soon die from grief.

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! [Group Hug]

In the interests of making this a better forum, please fill out this exit survey:

  1. How long have you been a member of Hatrack?
  2. Were you welcomed warmly when you joined Hatrack?
  3. Were you eaten by Slash when you arrived?
  4. Have you ever been offended by a thread on Hatrack? Please list thread topics below. You may use additional posts if necessary.
  5. Have you met Orson Scott Card in person? If yes, do you think he looks like Geoff?
  6. Have you ever been lynched in a mafia game?
  7. Would you like to be?
  8. Do Balrogs have wings?
  9. Did anyone post on your goodbye thread begging you to stay?
  10. If no, did that have a bearing in your decision to leave?
  11. Honestly, are you intimidated by the level of intelligence at hatrack? Are your feelings of inadequacy the real reason you are leaving?
  12. Are there any messages you would like to leave behind for particular jatraqueros?
Thank you for completing this exit survey. Your responses will help us make Hatrack a better forum experience for all.

Good luck, and please remember that should you decide to return to hatrack, you will need to pass through newbie initiation again. Please wear your fire retardant clothing and come prepared to recite the lineages of Elrond, Lord of Rivendell, and use the six degrees of separation to connect Frodo Bagins with Saddam Hussein.

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 [Wink] .

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

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. [Smile]

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.

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

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.

Aha! At least now we have it pinned down. Well, someone has to be lynched in mafia. It is good to know that I am a necessary and contributing part of society.

Oh yeah, and burn the tutu.

Or better yet, use it on Stryker.
