Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Just to let you know I haven't been banned, but taking an extended ( voluntary for a change ) holiday. It's been an experience for the past 16 years or so, but sometimes the abuse gets a bit much, so time for a break, and maybe come back after a while. Just sayin' that the forces of darkness didn't win, and remember what Nixon said on his departure. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Yes, we recall Nixon. He said, "I am not a crook", as you will recall. Come back soon. There is no politics here. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Don't think too much. You are somewhat synonymous with Asean Now as a regular poster along with a handful of others. I think your honest posts are liked by most. It's hard to reconcile the 'pub' posts and the posts where you seem to support some authoritarian non democratic types but that's often the strange thing about Asean now. People's attitudes to personal issues can seem at odds with how they see the wider world. Edited May 18, 2022 by Fat is a type of crazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GammaGlobulin Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 You have been here for 16 years. The first time I read a TV post was just over nine years ago. Therefore, you have been here not much longer than I. Yet, you have obviously been far more dedicated to keeping this forum alive, than I. And so, regarding your tentative au revivor swan song... I think that somebody, although not me, should say..... We do not accept your resignation. Full stop! As you will recall, during the Nixon years, there were always those who wished to bail out, and jump ship. However, rarely were their resignations accepted. It was always stated that these workers, diplomats, and bureaucrats, had a duty to their country, especially while fighting the Vietnam war. And now, here we find ourselves in much the same situation. We do not wish to lose even one good man. We cannot afford such a loss. Therefore, you must reconsider. Taking a break is reasonable and logical. Hopefully, you will take a nice vacation, recharge your batteries, and then rejoin our flock. Where would we be without this forum, really? I do not ask this question in jest, no way. Have a nice rest, for sure. Regards, Globule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, have you not noticed. It is not possible to resign from the forum? At least I have yet find a button which says 'cancel my profile.

Popular Post ColeBOzbourne Posted May 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2022 If he's really gone why are you all writing messages to him that he won't see? Or will he? Is he secretly peeping in on your messages? Will some comment provoke him sufficiently to reply one more time? He's still here, hiding in the cyber-shadows, I feel his ghostly presence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipi Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I gave up after day 2, but here we are. Put everyone on ignore, change your password to something random, then log out. It's actually more entertaining reading as a guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you come and visit as a guest, all those irritating people who you've put onto your 'ignore user' list suddenly come back to life again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Don't worry you won't be missed - Most members were not aware of your existence and anyway there are many forums with well informed, erudite, broad minded people where you can discuss numerous subjects. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
