Why are all of you taking the bait on this?
C’mon. New guest, a couple of weeks of largely innocuous posting, dipping lightly into a controversy or two, and then this massive hissy-fit departure announcement, inviting page after page of derisive piling-on… Isn’t it obvious this is a bit of chain-yanking? And you’re all cheerfully swallowing the bait?
And this:

The individual’s preceding posts are all fairly straightforward and grammatically clean, and then the exit tantrum concludes with that awkward “gem”? Isn’t it obviously a calculated attempt to add another random catchphrase to the SDMB’s vocabulary, a so-called brainfart like “gotcha ya” or “I burning your dog”?
This person, whoever he or she is, is sitting in front of the monitor absolutely creaming him/herself at having successfully jerked everybody’s strings and elicited a multi-page sound-and-fury slamfest.
Jesus, people, we’re smarter than this. Just leave it alone, for fuck’s sake.
And see, I just thought most everybody was having fun at how silly it all was. My 2 pennies.
I can’t decide if this would be a great band name or user name.

…Wait a minute, glancing over Elen_Luyddog’s posting history, I see no evidence of independent open minded thought. “No one over 20 should ever wear shorts”?
Buh bye.

Wait a minute, I think when we figured out she was saying over 20 inches, we tended to agree.

Yet, here you are as well.
We’re having fun with this, and if the OP is getting their jollies from it as well, then it’s a win/win. I don’t see anybody losing any sleep over this, and a little harmless/meaningless venting and humor makes us all happier people.

Song title. The Foundations recorded it as a 1970 followup to “Build Me Up Buttercup”.

Who cares, though? It’s just an opportunity to trigger one of the SDMB’s patented ‘amusing riffs on a theme’ threads. it usually takes an incredibly stupid OP in the pit to trigger them, but once they kick off, they create their own justification. At this point, I doubt that 90% of the people participating in the thread give a hoot about the OP’s personal opinion. Of course, I could be wrong, and we’ll end of imploding in it.
Someone set up us the bomb?
All your base are belong to SDMB!!!
Let’s see…7+ years and counting, with no shortage of “This board will be history in less than a year!!!” histrionics.
I’m sure the implosion is riiiiiiiight around the corner.
