> [@](#): > > Do I look like i’'m kidding? I won’t be here in the mornning. Are you threatening suicide? Or are you reaching out for help? Seems to me, knowing people who have killed themselves, that if you really want to go you don’t announce your intentions. So what is the problem? Subconsiously you want to talk about it (although the Pit may not be the best place), so out with it. ---

Actually, I don’t know if you look like you’re kidding or not because **I can’t see you**. :rolleyes: Anyway, care to share with the rest of the group _why_ you won’t be here in the morning? Or is this a pity thread, hinting towards your impending, self inflicted death? Oh wait. I’m being mean. Sorry. No, really, I am. ---

I’ll still be here in the metaphorical sense. I’ll just have big ass **banned** slapped beside my name. The net has given me infinite lives. So long people. Thanks for the concerns though, gives me faith in people in general. ---

This would have been more fun if you had posted something more outrageous than “I will be banned”. Sort of anti-climactic. ---

If you’re the copper and chrome guy, you had a phony email address last time. It came back None such on a probe test. ---

You guys don’t know shit about computers or the net. I still like this place though, I am not the copper or chrome guy, but we are interchangeable. ---

I won’t leave till my name is reinstated…could take years or till this place goes out of business. I am here till I get my apology. ---

_Blabbering by Linux_ > [@](#): > > I won’t leave till my name is reinstated…could take years or till this place goes out of business. I am here till I get my apology. Oh, so you are a little shit who pissed off someone in another forum and are now trying pass yourself off as a hero of the internet. Well, fuck off! Forgive my previous attempt to be of assistance. And don’t come back under any name. Dipshit. ---

Praise _Jebus_! It seems that the prodigal son has returned, although some more _concrete_ evidence wouldn’t hurt. Linux, dear, you are too sexy for your computer. ---

I am here till I get my apology. \*\* And that’s the whole point of this thread? To get an apology of some kind? Wow. Try harder next time because it won’t work. You’ll be banned, should you prove to be a troll. You’ll likely come back with a new name. You’ll be banned again. Repeat. Over and over and over. How entertaining. Really though, I’m sorry you’re so pathetic. Is that good enough for you? ---
