Goodbye

[gitreel]

It is with much remorse that I have decided to leave this upstanding forum. I never really felt like I belonged or fit in.

Because of my ADD, it has never been easy for me to make friends, but the friends I did make were promoted and are moving on to greener pastures.

My friend indo is talking about leaving as well, so in a recently honored tradition, I bid my short time here farewell with the hope that I was able to help at least somebody.

I thought you fitted in well an I for one will miss your news post.

All the best mate.

No shit Gitreel, I thought you fit in just fine with all the other bloody wankers.

[Ripper2860]

OK, now. This is getting ridiculous!!

Gitreel -- you will be missed. I never caught you on a bad day, like some, so you was OK by me !!

Hello,

Gitreel - good luck wherever you go! Thanks for the Star Wars chats!

Gitreel,
We have had our rocky moments here ...hopefully mostly water under the bridge by now. But since those, we have become fast friends. I always enjoyed your upbeat posts and your nose for the stories that need airing out here. You are a valued member of this forum, and a promising PW.

If you are indeed leaving, let me just say:

It's been fun, buddy! The best of everything to you and yours

Is this a yearly thing that happens?

Gitreel, I will miss your humor and well thought out replies.

Cya Gitreel,

you were a class act. Drop by when you have
graduated and I'll shout you a virtual refreshment

[Devanshu]

What's up with everyone leaving? See baldrick, this is what happens when you appoint capmaster as a mod.

Anyway...you'll be missed man. Thanks for all the help and good luck in whatever you do.

What's up with everyone leaving?

Yeah, WTF?

[gitreel]

If everyone didn't know by now, I am back.

I took a couple of days to reflect upon things and returned with a new sense of purpose. Thank you everyone for your kind words.

[northcat_8]

That's it...**** it....I'm out of here too.

[northcat_8]

Alright, I'm back...you fuckers aren't getting rid of me that easily

[gitreel]

That was quick.

[Supreme2k]

OH YEAH???!!!

@Gitreel:
What led to your exile in the first place ?

[gitreel]

Cap and I had got into another tizzy. And evn though he apologized and I accepted. I got the feeling that everything I say would get me flamed from someone.

I had thought about leaving as soon as I first started posting and got flamed and called a newbie when I had experience in converting video.

That flaming has always had me thinking I did not belong.

It is not caps fault. He was not the only one I clashed with.

After reading all the kind words, I decided to come back. I know I am being silly for wearing my feelings on my shoulder, but that is the way I am.

[jimmalenko]

If I remember rightly (and if I were to be critical) you were probably a bit brash and upfront when you first came here. A few members (even me ) gave you a bit of stick at times and you misinterpreted a few things I think.

I'm glad the time off put a few things in perspective for you (I know my time off did for me). I am now trying a different tact - where I would normally get into a slanging match, just laugh at whoever has flamed you - show that you are mature enough to take it on the chin. One person's opinion that you don't agree with shouldn't bother you.

[gitreel]

When I first started posting, I kept to the front page topics and got out of my knowledge and comfort zone on quite a few threads.

Looking back now, I wish I had just started in the Off-topic forum.
