That’s too bad. Always liked him. ☹
Maybe this is just a mood swing from the hormone therapy that followed that sex change he PMed everyone about?

I join with the other posters in thanking you for your moderation and your contributions to the board, **Idle Thoughts** /Chris. You’re a good guy and hopefully this thread shows that you are more popular, well liked and well regarded than perhaps you were aware. You will truly be missed and I hope that you’ll feel free to return should you decide the time is right. Take good care. 🙂

Yo, **IT** , mind if I make an alternate suggestion? Quit as a mod, change your username to reflect wherever your current frame of mind is at, and stick around, even if you change your pace.
No need to throw the baby out with the bathsalts.

When we do it, it’s called socking.
When an ex-mod does it it’s called the witness protection program. He knows where \*all \*the bodies are buried out in that cornfield. **Big Ed** don’t like it when people quit on him.

Idle Thoughts was a great mod. I’m sorry to see him go.
That’s three we lost in just the past couple years.
Marley and twickster and now Idle Though gone.
It’s getting a bit empty here.

**Miller** you will be so cyber-smote if you bail from here.
Did I read somewhere that **Marley23** was busy writing but will eventually return?

I’m going to be pretty suspicious if a new poster named _“ **Devil’s Playground…Of The Mind** ”_ shows up…

Live well. Keep paying forward the goodness and kindness.
