I have requested of the webmaster that every post I have ever made on ESMB be deleted. Looks like I am preparing to depart ESMB and n'er return.

This does not effect my love for you in any way.

If you're still lurking, I just want to say I'll miss you too. It was nice to reconnect with you after all the time that has passed.

A truly great guy just walked out that ESMB door. Those of you who know him know what I mean.

If I'm ever out your way I'll look you up.

I ask myself that question all the time. All those decades.... The people around me were mostly good, so it blinded me to the fact that the system was created evil. With that education under my belt, I can now see things more clearly.

This is what lrh counted on -- the fact that people are basically good. So he got a bunch of good people together and they all looked around at each other and saw other good people and concluded this must be a good thing, when in fact it was rotten to the core.

Sorry it turned out that way. And I know people will look at this and say, "but the tech...," "but the wins...," "but the people I helped," etc. Yeah. That was me, for more decades than I care to admit. But it's just another booby-trapped dead end. And I don't think it was designed to be anything else.

But you can't really tell anybody that. It's something they really have to find out for themselves, as much as I'd like to try to save them the time and trouble of going through it. It just took me a very long time, because I didn't want to leave any stone unturned before I came to a conclusion about it.

Yes, evil exists in this world. And it's especially insidious when it has a pretty face.

Thank you, Lynn.

Your statement is right to the point.

I wouldn't add or delete anything in an attempt to improve on it.

We'll miss you. If you don't stay in contact, I have a tiny droody voodoo doll I intend to stick catheters up until he squawks.

I'm not as 'easy going' as some of you folk. I've just seen this post of Mystic's. I don't like the message, nor do I understand it, nor can I just 'accept' it.

Be it the remaining 'clam' in me or not, or just be it me - I don't get nor accept that people we have grown to love so much, can just say they are going to 'split', and that then we can be so calm, cool and collected about letting them do so. This is just weird to me, 'cause I find the prospect of their departure upsetting to the nth degree!

I for one, can't take the prospect of a heartbreak so easy, and I wanna say that I object. I'm not saying I'm right, but fuck me dead, jesus priest, what's the bloody scoop here? It doesn't make sense to me, and I don't have a big enough heart to say "OK Mystic, hope life goes well for ya Mate, cya later" - I'm more selfish than that.

To me, this is just a bugger of a thing, and I don't accept it - be that right or wrong.

Hey Mystic- I -too-like Nozeno will miss your posting---if in the future you post again-we will be very happy!!!!!

If you are going

So am I. Mystic, you made it fun around here. I valued your input here so methinks there is nothing else for me here without it.

Carmel,
I understand your shock, but those of us that know and will greatly miss Mystic are well aware that this is part of the Fabian nature of Mystic. It is too bad you don't know him like we know him. He was one of the most uplifting people I have ever known. He connected back up with us and reassured us that he is still Mystic. I'll miss him, but at the same time I know he isn't really gone. He will always be lurking in our memories.

Carmel:

If you ever need to talk to him, PM me and I will contact him and relay the message.

Although TAJ said it better, it's like one of those schmaltzy lines from the movies, or whatever you call them downunder.... "he'll always be in our hearts."

Sincerely

Well

Well, looks like I'm not going anywhere. Lady Angel Emma got me into a ROFL about it all. I don't think that was her intention but that was my response.

God I love you people.

Hey Carmel:

I guess we can disregard the PM exchange.

Thanks to Emma we can't seem to get rid of him.

Yes we can disregard the pm exchange.

No, we don't want to get rid of him yet. First he needs to better bloody well put his climbing boots on, an' then come rescue me from the hole he pushed me into (nothing to do with me of course ), and then I'm gonna kill the bastard.

 

[Zinjifar]

Run him over with a gokart. It seems fitting.

[Good twin]

Thank God. I thought he went back on staff...

What's funnier though, was the bloody 'bug' back on my screen (although only briefly) - thanks to "The Bugger Nozeno".

(I'll make no comment on the current avatar! )

Bugger was a placeholder.

Current avatar is not what you think.

Oh, it's not? What do I think it is, do ya reckon? And, if it's not, then what is it?

I think it's a belly button.
