Tell me what you think about whiny "I'm leaving DU" threads....

[YellowRubberDuckie]

Personally? I think people should just leave. Especially when no one likes you. lol What do you think when you see these kinds of threads?

[JohnKleeb]

4. What about Melinda and Melinda?

[MissB]

3. I've never been fond of "good bye" posts.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. I think.....

therefore I am.

[Rowdyboy]

6. Depends on the message

And the poster

[Longgrain]

7. As long as it's done with class, it's good

i.e. The poster has a reasonable cause for leaving.

There's a few people I'd like to know where they went and why they aren't heard from anymore.

Other than that, who knows.

[enigmatic]

8. Don't like them

Bad form, most times. If they have friends here they'll know they have left; for the rest that either don't know them, don't care, or don't like them, it's kinda smacks of ego.

19. A distinction, though

I'm talking about the "I'm leaving DU because everybody's mean to me" posts, not the "I'm taking a break" because of personal or business stuff; I don't mind those..

[NNadir]

9. I swear, one more thread like this and I'm leaving DU...

...not that I'm trying to encourage these kinds of threads. :-)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. I'm sure you're happy this evening

[sniffa]

14. no, not at aLL

too much restraint. :P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. I usually think "Just freakin' go already"

no need for a fucking operetta...

[AlCzervik]

15. not a fan of them

sometimes the goodbye threads seem to be a way of the poster looking for everyone to say "Please stay, we love you"

[texas1928]

16. I think...

What did YellowRubberDuckie do to make them leave.

:P

[amazona]

17. it isn't for me

If and when I go, I hope to go quietly and without fuss, however, if a person has something to say, and they feel it hasn't been heard, and this is why they are getting all dramatic...I might not agree but I might read it out of curiosity.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

18. They always seem like an attention-getting whine fest

I always want to ask...'Would you like some cheese with your wine?'But, alas, I usually just don't say anything.

[Zomby Woof]

20. They only bother me when...

They get removed before I can reply...

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. I love watching the whiny, immature whinging stupid fucks get insulted

by people saying "adios!" and "don't let the door hit you in the ass".

[EstimatedProphet]

22. Locking
