These “I’m leaving… no, I’m not” posts really diminishes the grand, trampling exit effect you’re aiming for, SA. Now you’re like somebody stuck in a revolving door.
Maybe it was a really small lake.
ISTR that you did, but it makes no difference whether you explicitly did or didn’t. Because what people here are ridiculing (at least at this time) is that specific argument, and if the jury didn’t support that, then they don’t support you WRT the current topic of conversation, while you’re at least implying that they did.
Suck it up. Or not - that’s just my advice FWIW.
As I have mentioned before in other threads, I am a Special Victims Unit Detective (in real life, not TV). I have investigated numerous sexual assault cases. Many including children as victims. I have interviewed victims and suspects. I have secured many convictions. And in my professional opinion Starving Artist is a fucking idiot.
Look kids! Big Ben!
Parliament too.
I also feel that anyone who has replied 459 times to a single thread, or 1 out of every 9 comments, is no longer afforded the luxury of using reply 460 to say “look guys how much of a life I have. Unlike you losers in this thread.”
Unless it’s in a vain attempt to convince himself of what he’s saying.
Like I said:
Like Kimstu, I have comprehensively reviewed this thread (or cursorily skimmed through it, whichever you’ll believe) and I have come to an important conclusion. And that is: I am hilarious. I mean, really fucking funny. I had myself in tears all over again.
I ought to be charging you all for this stuff. It’s A material and I’m just giving it away!
What’s nearly as remarkable is how much you all are able to appreciate it all silently, without a bunch of gratuitous comments about how very funny I am. Kudos to you all.
In my amateur opinion, for purposes of the issue at hand, the credentials you describe in post #4309 are more relevant than the credentials you describe here. 
I only have certificates to prove one set of credentials. I’ll leave it to others to decide which I am talking about.
This is pretty entertaining. With how conservative and careful FP has been to remain very close to what is provable vs not, and explicitly describing opinion as opinion…I think this speaks more to your thinking and posting than to FP’s comprehension.
Jesus Christ. You incorrectly announce your departure so much that it’s become a fucking tic.
It could be worse. I could be trying to claim someone got shot when he only got robbed and using it to blame Ronald Reagan and the NRA for people getting murdered.
Any guess who will be the last poster in this thread?
Me?
I vote Miller.
NOOOOOOO!!!
It is supposed to be me!!! Let me have this small piece of SDMB fame. please?
Can’t be Skevee – he is always leaving.
Depends on who’s still around for the heat death of the Universe.
This doesn’t make sense even within the context of your own arguments.
Well, if you line up 100 Ronald Reagans and ask them if they’d rather get shot or raped… I think you can see how it relates.
