Gotta Say Goodbye FReepers

5/10/05 | the usual suspect

[Diogenesis]

First vanity post:

The Administrator of FR has made it clear that my posts are no
longer wanted here. They have been erased for reasons unclear
with the Administrator being incredibly disingenuous about "spamming".
I posted a picture twice and IMHO that is not spamming.
It is not worth wasting further effort here, in that light.

In any case, I wish the best to FReepers and want to thank you all
for teaching us so much. I am especially grateful to Jim Robinson
for the wonderful opportunity to have posted so many hundreds of pictures
glorifying the good deeds of America and its generous, brave, just and caring people;
pictures that would have otherwise been ignored by the MSM.

Take care, FReepers, and stay safe.

Time to 'roll' on.

First time I've ever responded to an Opus with a plea to stay.

I really like your pics.

Nuthin' wrong with 'em that a broadband connection won't fix.

[hummingbird]

Give it a second thought, please, Dio? I appreciate the effort that goes into the Gotta See This threads and I know I'm not alone in missing them. Settle this one back-channel if you can.

I concur. "Gotta See This" threads were/are priceless and you won't see them in MSM. Maybe take a step back, then work it out with MOD; there should be a good resolution, yes?

[expatguy]

I hear you Rider

[jwalsh07]

Bummer, you're pictorial essays during the heated fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan were first rate.

Sorry the admin folks have such short memories.

[PilloryHillary]

Bummer! Some of your pics during the Shaivo tragedy were a bit over the top, but nobody's perfect. Sorry to see you go. Good luck to you.

[deadhead]

"I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I’m gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when I’m gone"

Don't go, Diogenesis

[Iscool]

You will be missed...

[Orange1998]

Thanks for the heads up. :)

There's also a little thing called browser preference settings that can be situated in such a way as to not have graphics appear at all while one is suffering with a slow speed 'net connection.

Why do the moderators what him gone?

[Twinkie]

Take a few days off, suck it up and come back. Take it from a Twinkie. I have been discontinued, made fun of for some of my comments "Oh, that's just what I would have expected from a Twinkie!" or "Oh, I understand the comment coming from a Twinkie!" and generally ignored.

I get little respect, but I keep on coming back. Rest a while. Eat a good meal. - Twinkie

Here's a resized version (no need for Photoshop, just use the ubiquiteous Calculator).

NRT, what is the "ubiquiteous Calculator..." I'm still struggling with Photoshop.

And, oh yeah...DIOGENESIS....DON'T GO! GO TO A DAY SPA, PAMPER YOURSELF. TAKE TIME TO DO YOUR FAVORITE THINGS AND RESUME YOUR POSTS ASAP!

Thank you.

[expatguy]

A "day spa" is for metrosexuals.

[Eaker]

Good job RB.

Thanks for the ping.

Dio, don't be a RINO bro!

Stay.

"Bummer, you're pictorial essays during the heated fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan were first rate. Sorry the admin folks have such short memories."

I am sorry they have short memories too. Diogenesis's pictorial essays were greatly appreciated.

[hosepipe]

LoL...

[ Sorry to see you go, Diogenesis. It's usually dangerous around here to tell the truth, especially about Bush administration policy. ]

Bull... I've been trashing him from the git go..
I didn't like him from the primarys.. still don't..
And missed few opportunities to say so..

Course I am cute.. d;-)~

First time I've ever responded to an Opus with a plea to stay

I did one, when MadIvan went off a few days back. But, I am coming to the opinion that these temper tantrums need to be handled like we did with our kids. Ignore.

Now that would take an act of the boss to zot the opi; the fact that he allows the cyber-masturbarion to go forward speaks volumes to his heart.

In case some need some education - Jim made the decision to moderate the board when it grew large and the static was a threat. I am not an insider, but, I believe that the mods are volunteers who are trying to help Jim. (He has to sleep sometimes.)

I get pretty torqued off at people who get their knickers in a knot over admin policy here. At some point, if you are admonished, step away from the site for a week. Reflect. Miss it. Then come back.

ping the boss in case he has something to say.
