Since this is about a poster rather than this message board, let’s move it to MPSIMS from ATMB. ---

I think his sudden departure with no explanation is fertile ground for a CT involving CCP authorities. ---

Wait, he said “Time to hang 'em up.” He may not be leaving, maybe he just got his balls handed to him… and has decided to display them on his front porch, floodlit at night, of course. C’mon, **XT** , where you gonna find rapier-like jibes like these anywhere else? Stick around, we’ve got more clever comments that we’re saving up for the weekend… Seriously, the uncertainty and anger and depression of ‘these days’ are getting to everyone. You may need this place in the days/weeks to come. ---

Great. One of the few posters not determined to “out-woke” the next guy and blindly follow the progressive playbook, signs off. That’s just great. Intelligent, independent thought loses again. ---

Its literally impossible run interference for Trump/republicans with so many American bodies piling up. The numbers are currently tame now, but it’ll continue to rise and the mismanagement, corruption, apathy, and arrogance of Trump will be raised every minute of the day. Best to bail. ---

XT, come back when you’re in a better place. I would suggest laying off the conspiracy theory sites as that shit will get to anyone after a while. Be well ---

Thank you for telling us. At this time, if a regular or prolific poster dropped out without warning, I would fear the worst. Stay safe. ---
