I can’t believe you’re leaving the Dope, but I wish you well. You were a fine mod, thank you for all your work. See you on FB.

I’m very sorry to hear this Idle Thoughts.
I hope you’ll reconsider, you can see we all care about you.
But whatever you decide, please take care of yourself.

Later, Idle Thoughts, I’m wishing you well. I do hope you return once in a while, even if just to cuss someone out in the Pit. That last one was pretty good!

Bye Idle. Hopefully you still stop by Giraffeboards occasionally as I am trying to avoid facebook these days.
I’ll miss you being around, but I know I will see you somewhere.
The next time you are visiting the East Coast let me know and I will try not to have a trip to Disneyworld planned for that week this time.

Yeah this is totally out of the blue. It isn’t one of those mind-fuck type scenarios like the “I’m a girl” PMs?

This. Did you already have your The Who thread? Anyway, take **Leaffan** ’s advice, and then play _Who’s Next_. And there’s a faint hope you’ll come back to tell about it :). All the best.

I’m sorry to hear you’re leaving, Idle Thoughts. I’ve always respected you and your moderation.
I have sent you a friend request on Facebook and a PM here with my name.

_What can you see
On the horizon
Why do the white gulls call
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home_
It’s those grey ships, man, and the smell of the sea. Once you get a whiff, there’s just no stopping.

**Idle** , I just realized I’ve owed you a PM for a long time now. I’m sorry for being forgetful. I enjoyed our interactions, and I hope all is well with you. Best regards.
