Oh please..don't be a drama queen. the flames started a long time ago, and I don't need to ask for anyone to leave considering grand, self-centered exits (and probably lurkers everyday anyway) seem to be the on the menu these days. Isn't FR great? You can bitch about it to all your friends on one post and continue to use it for free everyday. Longcut, Poohbah and others have grew close with freepers and wanted to say goodbye? Have they heard of freepmail? It can also be used to communicate to many freepers you've grown cuddily with that you plan to leave FR forever. If one makes such self-aggrandizing independent posts on the forum, it should not be so incredibly shocking that there will be critics.
And talking about a "drama Queen", dear, I wouldn't be so quick to throw that epitaph at me, when it it you who are being one. ;^)
You also have something to razz them with when they come back ;-)
