thank you.
Why The Big Announcements?
- Thread starter Mr Brown
- Start date
thank you.
PM sent Race1
race1, I would tell that someone to find someone to talk to quick...and to not use a permanent solution for temporary problems. The Christmas season sometimes gets people down due to situations, financial or otherwise.
Have that someone drop me a line if there's no one else to talk to.

That's a whole other kind of big announcement.......
But not an entirely unfamiliar feeling to several members, I'm sure. You are not alone........

I went outside and had a cigarette, and did some thinking. I suppose that my original post could be considered harsh, I guess that's one of the shortcomings of the internet. In light of some PM's, and some of the replies to the thread, I think an apology is in order. If anyone was offended by my tone, I am truly sorry. I realize that some folks put more stock in friendships formed over the net than others, there's nothing wrong with that, and to criticize that was never my intention. Ya'll take it easy....
I already had tons of respect for you Mr. Brown......Good Man! I think very highly of you for this apology and others will too.

hey bro your a good man no doubt. thanks
I wasn't, and I don't think you need to apologize either.
Some people on this board are Way Too Sensitive.
Just because someone expresses an opinion doesn't mean anyone else has to like it, subscribe to it, or feel that their -different- opinion is any less valid.
This is a message board, not a therapy service. If it's become that important to some of you, put down your keyboards, go outside, and start relating to the real world.
Personally, I arrived at this board without fanfare and that's how I'll leave.
I came here to collect and offer information about the Hayabusa, not to discover the secret to Life, the Universe and Everything (42.)
If I have a few laughs along the way that's cool, but I don't expect to be adopted, converted, saved or realigned while I'm here.
Dab then what ya doing browzing random thoughts? General Bike Related Topics are here
REV, that is not at all what he was trying to say. He did not try to tell people when or where to post. He simply asked a logical question....one I have asked myself a few times when I saw those threads. If you are leaving, why all the fan fair? The question makes a lot of sense, and yes, some of the answers also make a lot of sense, including yours. A lot of folks post up that they aren't going to be around so those of us who consider them friends do not worry when suddenly they stop posting.
So I'd say they post because they care......and are trying to avoid the endless stream of emails, and pm's wondering what happened...[/QUOTE] But some people do a lot more than give a heads up that they are leaving or taking a break. They go into all this detail about what they don't like. I think that is who Mr. Brown was referring to. But others provided a reasonable explanation....that some people may not really want to leave, and others have a hard time verbalizing that they have a problem with something. In either case, I don't really understand the hostility towards Mr. Brown. He is entitled to ask a simple question. Heck, the question was not even directed toward anyone.
I thought it was a fair question, and some fair answers were given. But there may have been just a hint of hostility in your post, but not much.
We all need ot lightren up.
