I was actually getting pretty close to changing my orientation, but if you guys are giving up....

I accept full responsability for my actions ... I too am tired of the gay discussions.

Wow. In my entire life I've never been called stupid in such a polite manner! Thanks outlier. :roll:

I will miss o. He was an excellent contributor.

Please explain what just happened.

Did we lose outlier because we were impolite? Hmmm.

A Utahn in New York who didn't like the cuisine there.

I gathered it was because he had grown tired of the increasingly pedestrian content of the board. IOW, not because we are rude, but becaseu we are stupid.

I hope this is incorrect, but that's how I read his rather cryptic message. I too would prefer he stay but maybe its good to know at least some people can crack the addiciton.

this feels like a bunch of women sitting around with a big carton of ice cream, sobbing, saying "I thought we were getting along so well!!!"

Man, outlier sure knows how to love them and leave them.

Allow me to clarify. I hope I misinterpreted his message not becasue he apparently thinks we are collectively too far to the middle of the bell curve (as opposed to the sparsley populated end where he presumably dwells) but becasue I think he makes interesting contributions.

That he thinks I am stupid is not unique. Indeed, he would be the last in a long line of people, some of whom are certianly smarter than him (although HE may find that hard to believe). What annoys me is the rather pretentious way he chooses to call us stupid (again assuming I am interpreting this correctly).

It's sort of like he thinks we're too stupid to know he is calling us stupid as long as he calls us stupid in a stupid pseudo-intellectual way. To me, that's just stupid.

Now, quit being so critical and pass the ice cream scooper.

He was interesting, and potentially intelligent, somewhat amusing.
If one wanted to avoid unintelligent beings, one probably would avoid all lawyers, and sportsboards.

This begs the next question: what prompts somebody to participate actively in any board, then for some reason become unemamoured with the participants, and then declare "Bye, you SOBs, I shall not return!"

It is so middle of the bell curve, it's not even amusing.

I'm still not getting that he called us stupid. Maybe I am too stupid to get it.

I like clarity of expression. Without another post on his part, I'm going to assume he pretty much thinks we rock.

Like I said, I don't care if he calls us stupid, as long as it isn't pretentious and silly. If wrong and he hasn't intended to call us stupid, then maybe I AM stupid and I iwll say, in my best Roseanne Roseannadanna vocie, "Nevermind."
