After some amusing interaction on this forum over the past year or two it's time to depart we reckon.

Main reason: going back a bit was the ' men are pricks' comments from someone.

I don't consider myself a prick, an opinionated dick maybe, but not a prick. I hope.

So, ta-ta , enjoy your car, albeit with lcds, spoilers, carbon fibre and whatever cack you choose to make your car much heavier and less pure with..

Ta ta

J & S

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

:omg:

John, I don't know what you refer to in the post above but I do hope you will reconsider your decision.

I must echo Bryan's comments and add what a pleasure it has been to have 'met' you.




PS I often thought you were a dick :P

One of the funniest, most genuine, caring, thoughtful, knowledgeable people I've seen on an MG forum.

Hope to see you soon.

Regards

Paul

John,

I'm not sure what it is you're referring to specifically but I hope you reconsider your decision.

Some of your posts are opinionated but there's nothing wrong with that. Many of your posts are really useful and helpful, particularly the ones containing snippets from your engineering background.

I also enjoyed your 'father and son' discussions with Ben :bust:

Robin ;)

I'm sorry you feel that way John. It's a shame when someone has been so active for so long feels that they are no longer appreciated.
You will be missed.

Wow, I'm a relative newcomer on here, and I look forward to seeing what you and several other very knowledgable "sages" have to say on all subjects, be they MG related or not, you brighten my day and make everything right in my MG world and like me, you know about STEAM, (albeit on a vastly higher level)......whatever has upset you surely can't be so bad as to make you want to leave here.....?
Rise above all the dross and stay.........please.

Here, fleetingly.
Paul, in the thread concerned, you inserted a 'surely' iirc.

I don't think I was the only bloke offended by the generalisation tbh.
To refresh, the bare comment was 'men are pricks'

Normally things like this don't bother me, but as a Son, Dad and Grandad of ladies who I greatly respect, along with womenfolk in general I did take offence to being lumped in with aggressive male driver prickdom.

OP, you know who you are.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

OK now I remember, the post in question was the fourth reply in the thread I began about me being a grumpy old man after getting fed up of weekend drivers.

John I do think you have taken the post in question way too seriously. That upset you this much? Let's get this into perspective..... you took weeks of B.ongo and months of Softly~S in your stride and this makes you quit the T-bar?

Am I missing something here?
