What happened to Marc ? I have been off and on for months so did not realise but I find now that he hasn't posted anything for nine months !!
What happened ?
Anybody ?
SJS, I'm astonished you didn't notice TBH. Even if you would not have read his two goodbye posts, which I presume you would not have, as they were both in areas of the forum I've never seen you post, many people have talked about it - I even made an OT thread for his departure to be discussed, attempting to make as many people as possible aware.
Basically, Marc elected to depart because he felt "some people" (read: me) were above the law. This related specifically to a tete-a-tete between myself and him for which he wanted to see me punished, not realising as he did not that what I spoke of was true. I regretted nonetheless talking of it to him, because it soon became clear that he should not have been told.
However, interesting evidence has since surfaced which suggests Marc's departure actually had more to do with not wanting to reach 50,000 posts than this.
That it was merely a smokescreen. Now I can think of nothing more odd than allowing a postcount - yours or anyone else's - to dictate your behaviour to this level.
ITBT, I always thought it was a shame Marc left, much as he annoyed the hell out of me often. There were plenty of worse members, and Marc had been part of CW virtually from the start. The place still doesn't feel quite as I think it should without him posting around the boards.
BTW, it's now 11, not 9, months.
