I'm leaving

[Jamee999]

Sad to see you go, Sam, you were one of our better OT posters, and when you posted in CC, it was normally good.

We've had some nice chats on MSN, and I'll try to stay in touch.

A lot of good posters leaving the site in the last couple of months, shame

These are just written words on the net, if you take offence to anything that's been said, then you're far to sensitive.

I have over 10,500 posts at another site, and there's been that many threads that have been aimed against me that iv'e lost count, but i'm still there and posting just as often.

You shouldn't take offence to what is most likely just wind ups by other posters.
Words are just that, words, and written words at that.
Written by people that you'll most likely never meet, so why you bother pay any attention to negative posts about you is beyond me.

You shouldn't let other posters chase you away!!

Amen!
There is always the ignore button if someone really grinds your gears.

This place has changed a hell of a lot over the past few months, and not for the better. Some of the peoples attitudes have changed and I don't like that. If you don't like the way I act then okay, but please don't disrespect me. Writing this thread has been the hardest thing Ive had to do on the internet. I am not too ''sensitive'' I just don't like being treated like an idiot. I love this place and thought that everyone here was so great, but I'm just upset that I've been proven wrong. Yeah, it's just some site on the internet but everyone here I care about and respect and hope to meet someday. So please don't tell me to harden up. Yes, please have been grindng my gears so to speak but I have tried to ignore it but I've had enough. You know where to find me if anyone wants to talk.

I hope I didnt contribute to making you leave. Did I?

Sad to hear that and hope you'll reverse your decision.

......on a jetplane, don't know when I'll be back again.

Haven't used that terrible line for a while.

I can't see how you can say that when you do the dumb blonde routine to it's fullest.

I believe that its spelt 'Oestrogen' in the civilised, non-American world. In fact, this is something I'll have to have a good gripe about sometime. SulPHur not SulFur and Aluminium has two 'i's in it, not one.

Alas, poor Samantha as she was called by Richard. She was blonde and talked about cricket (about cricket, Amen). Just like the build up of Aluminium in the bloodstream to cause Parkinsons, the constant barbs from other members at the CricketWeb site built up in her heart (in her heart, Amen) until she could take no more. Her site membership expired peacefully in her sleep.

She is survived in the signature of nightprowler which makes him either look like some kind of pervert (kind of pervert, Amen) or his body clock may well be ticking towards middle age.

It is to my regret that I did not know Samantha.

Weary traveller, your life's just started
It is quite sad, ere soon we're parted

I'm sure 99.9% of people on the website like you and respect you a lot Piper. I know I do. Would be sad to see you go.

And for those who have made her feel like this, shame on you

Thumbs down to you CDM. Geez, you drive away one of our few female members, leaving just one more of the male population of the country called CW to be left no choice but to choose homosexuality.

I shotgun Anna.

is all I've got to say, TBH.

And abso-bloody-lutely. WTF is going-on? It's not like these departures have confirmed any pattern whatsoever.

Jesse (SL™), Goff, Robbins, Edmunds, Fitzsimmons, Young, now Sam and Manju... the list goes on.

Karthik (Deja moo), sledger and le a while ago too...

And obviously Murphy and Burpey gone too...

It's such a crying shame.

[Fiery]

Well, we know why marc left. Piper has given her reasons too

It's a disgrace tbh

I don't want to get into what has caused this, but I'd have thought that Voltman could have risen above any previous difficulties... Something pretty bad must have happened for him to disappear as well... Obviously, I've only been here a month which is a very short time compared to most here, so I know nothing of any 'previous', but whatever the reason, this is a very sad development.
