I am sick of folks posting goodbyes.

I read most of the posts regarding threads where people say "I just can't stand it any more" and "I can't take this abuse any more". I have never replied to those posts, as most of it seemed to be either ego stroking or bend-over-backwards niceness.

Quite frankly, if your leaving, leave. Don't be "poor pity me" and don't be "try and convince me to stay". Just get the hell out. Everyone, LE and non-LE, has something to offer, some gift or knowledge to impart. Just because you want to take the football and go home doesn't give you the license, in my opinion, to whine and complain all over the place. SHUT UP and GO HOME. We will get on fine without you. Every member of TFL is invaluable. I appreciate EVERY ONE OF YOU. But the graveyards are filled with irreplaceable men. Life goes on, and those that choose to bail will no longer be heard. Done and done.

Take 2 Shiner Bock's and a Midol, and call me in the morning. ;)

That's it Ozzie! That was the last staw, I'm out of here and I'm never coming back.

Okay after receiving hundreds of e-mails from my friends here on TFL pleeding for my return I'm back and promise never to leave again.
Anyone miss me? :D

Well said Ozzie! I was thinking that myself but didn't want to be ripped for being "cold hearted". Hell, if the LEO's think they are being abused online, umm, I would hate to imagine how they handle their daily stress.

If their skin (LEO's and Non-LEO's alike) isn't thick enough to handle the jokes and sometimes-rude comments online, how can they possibly handle criticism in real life? If you must leave, LEAVE. I for one am sick and tired of all the whining. Ahhh now I feel better too :)
 
Gunslinger:

Bad, bad, no ice cream & cake for you!
Now go to your room. :D

You know, DorGunR, lots of times...I don't get your posts. What the heck are the two you've posted this thread supposed to mean? Really. For the most part they sound sarcastic and demeaning. I'm hoping there is a deeper meaning I am missing. Or is English not your native language? What am I not understanding?

Jeez, lighten up a little Ozzie, DorGunR was just adding some levity. The second reply was to Gunslinger whose presence we were missing, very much, for all of 2 minutes.

As for your original post - I somewhat agree. Have you ever noticed that those who say, "It goes without saying ..." never actually go without saying it?
 
I fully plan to lighten up. Right now. As of now, I am lighter. Whew. Was that easy, and I DO feel better. Great suggestion, thanks. Anyone have Covert Bailey's phone number? It's good to feel lighter when it's that easy. Whoo Hoo.

Don't let the ugly messenger (me) cause you to misunderstand my DoRGunr question. I meant the question about how I fail to understand his posts/humor/constant sarcasm. Perhaps timing is important. Perhaps you know the individual and that creates a reference. From my perspective, it seems to me as the first paragraph seemed to you.
 
Ah....revealed as the humorless computer potato I am. Struggle as I do to understand young folks' thoughts and others, I continually fail to "get it". As plain as I state my misunderstanding, it still comes off as "bunghole". <SIGH>

Sometimes when a weirdo asks for a definition of "IRON" he really wants to know what iron is. :-)

Oz
 
Oz, I'm generally in accord with your original post.

That said, I strongly urge you--Strongly, I say!--to double up on that Shiner Bock order...

Hey DoorGunner let me know when I may come out of my room. :)

Mal thank you for your warm sentiment. I knew I was missed but your post really moved me. :D

On a more serious note. Perhaps the reason that the LEO's (and others) are "wounded" from commments made by fellow TFL'ers is they expect those type of comments from others, but not from their friends and RKBA allies.
I'll now slip quietly back in my room before DoorGunner discovers I'm out. ;)

OK OK OK
!!!!!!!

I remove the fact I have no sense of humor to email. To you folks who wish to discuss it that have email, email me.

Otherwise, I stand by my "Get the hell out" premise.

Ozzie
 
Gunslinger:
Thank you sir. I'm glad you understood my attempt at humor. :)
All the best to you, also, I just looked at your profile....Retired LEO....I'll bet you could tell us some hair raising stories.
:D

Yah! And ya know what bothers me even more than someone who says they're leaving?
That's someone who asks the "What if" questions. Like what if we could have only one something or other. Man that's senseless, needless self-torture and I refuse to play. :rolleyes:
Welcome back Gunslinger! :D
Where are the Shiners? :)

I agree. If someone wants to leave, just leave. (mcshot - what if... No, no, just kidding - couldn't resist, though ;) )
