Is it acceptable to Opus within what I will call the "final straw thread" (that being the thread that finally sets you off and runs you from FR), or does proper Opus etiquette require a vanity?

Proper Opus Etiquette requires a vanity. You should include the following things, if possible:

1. Mood music.
2. A description of what you used to like about the forum.
3. A description of what you now hate about the forum.
4. A list of accomplishments you have performed for the forum, if any.
5. A poignant, tearful goodbye to your friends.
6. A blistering, hatefilled goodbye to your enemies.
7. A promise never to return.

For a reasonably good example, try this one. MAKE SURE to start the music. It is an integral part of my Opus.

I don't know, freemyland may have a point with his "final straw thread" leave-taking. It would require, however, thoroughly excoriating the offending party on that thread, revealing in detail the depths of his/her depravity, criminal mind-set, perverted sex life, and other relevant facts, followed up with "Liar, liar, liar!" It'll get the thread pulled, but a least a dozen people will have saved it for future reference.

What the heck is going on around here??? LOL, can't a guy or a dog take a few hours break from this place without coming back to see his own funeral service???

The reports of my death are highly exaggerated!

Dagnabit, when I do my Opus, I want music! I want dancing girls! I want alcohol!
