Are you ever tempted to leave DU in a blaze of glory?

[MrCoffee]

To Walt Starr your way out the door, if you will?

[Shakespeare]

1. No, because I'm reasonably sure nobody would give a damn.

:7

[MrCoffee]

2. There is that...

MrCoffee: You all suck ass! I hope you die in a fire!


Everyone Else: Did you hear something?


Fail.

[Kali]

3. nah

I don't get that behavior.

Well I have been known to slam a door or two on the way out in real life, but on the intertoobs?

[CreekDog]

4. Blaze of Infamy

is a better term. :hi:

but no. heck, i feel guilty when my threads get locked :cry:, a sentiment a number of folks here do not share. :rofl:

[TZ]

15. At least you wouldn't be getting yelled at anymore...

:hug:

[flvegan]

5. No. Nobody would really care if I left.

Well, except those expressing great joy at my demise.

[Fran Kubelik]

18. you big dumb jerk

I hate to tell you this, but people like you, they really like you.

[Kali]

44. even me

I like Lefty Mom too. Just disagree about a few things:* :rofl:

[Phredicles]

6. If you make a big scene about leaving, you look like an idiot when

you inevitably come back.

I gave up on DU last August, or more precisely I gave up on the Democratic Party. But now I'm excited about Obama. So, just as I left quietly, I came back quietly too. I'm not sure anyone noticed either way, but that's okay with me.

[MrCoffee]

14. I'm talking about gunning for an intentional tombstone

Not the candy-ass "I'm leaving DU, I just can't take it anymore" crybaby stuff.


The hard-core nuclear option.

[elshiva]

38. OMFG! That picture of Picard.

:rofl: You made my night.

[madinmaryland]

7. Probably not.

Why would i give the lounge etiquette police something to yak about. I'd just take leave.

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

8. Leave in a blaze only to have people tell you not to let

the door hit you on the ass as you go? No thanks!!!


:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Funny how that crap ceases to matter any more.

Here, on the internets? I don't care if I stay or if I go.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. yes

[Guava Jelly]

11. No

If I ever leave I may send a few PM's to those who might care.
Nothing good ever comes from the "I'm leaving" thing IMHO.

[Zavulon]

12. Absolutely not.

If I ever decide to stop posting here, I'll just stop posting without mentioning it. Nothing makes me shake me shake my head and scoff as much as some crybaby asshole trolling for attention with a drama queen farewell post.

[AwakeAtLast]

13. I don't think anyone would notice

So yeah, I guess that would make me want to, to see if anyone notices! :silly: Thanks for the idea! :crazy:


:hi:

[Radical Activist]

16. You need a third option.

"I already did and came back."

There are some here who did.

[RadiationTherapy]

17. When DU irritates me, I just post more.

I'm so contrarian.

[BlueIris]

19. Ah, Walt Starr. "Tombstone me now, Skinner!"

Still funny.

[SKKY]

20. Here's what I would do!!!

I would give my password to DS1 and see how long it took him to get me banned. I'm willing to bet a paycheck he could do it in 1 post.

[MrCoffee]

24. sucker bet.

DS1 could do it with the subject line alone.

[SKKY]

25. But that still constitutes a post!!!!

[MrCoffee]

26. Which is why it's a sucker bet

Here, let me just give you my money.

[Dogtown]

21. Didn't vote, too new.

It looks like several Notables are striving for it though, over in GD.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. Another day, another blaze of glory

So many blazes.

If I left in a blaze of glory, I think I'd just look like any other flaming asshole.

:hi:

[puerco-bellies]

23. How would I accomplish that?

Post even more boring pictures?

[Fire Walk With Me]

27. Absolutely not.

"Can't do crimes when they're into it." -The Dark Knight Returns.

[crimsonblue]

28. I already have once....

again? probably not.

[realisticphish]

29. No

because it would be incredibly stupid. Who gives a shit about leaving a message board? If you really literally go out in a blaze of glory, well, kudos. But leaving a political forum hardly equates with one last desperate charge in battle.

You end up looking like an immature jackass :shrug:

[billyoc]

30. Never, I am a producer of granite cookies, not a consumer.

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

31. No, I'd rather just fade away

even though its better to burn out so says Neil Young

I just don't care enough to care about a blaze of glory here

[sniffa]

32. No.

It will happen suddenly, and I'll kick myself afterward for not doing the blaze of glory thing.

It wasn't my war. They drew first blood.

[hunter]

33. Not until I gain root!

And then you guys will all be SORRY!!!

(This interlude brought to you by the EVIL HUNTER!!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!)

Whew. Breathe deeply. Sometimes he just pops out like that...

:blush:

[tandot]

34. Nobody would really remember me or anything I've ever posted

I just quietly slipped away during the primaries and only posted when a thread was positive and worth logging on.

And, I would hate the dozens of "don't hit the door hit you..." posts

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

35. No, I'm just like to blaze in glory.

Whether or not the mods want to kick my glorious flaming ass out while I'm busy blazing, that's up to them.

[Haole Girl]

36. More often than you could ever imagine. nt

[ThomCat]

37. No. What would be the point?

:shrug:

I've taken a year-long break before, and I might again. I'd PM a lot of people I know and like to let them know.

But what would be the point of exploding in public? You're not going to convince anyone of anything, you set yourself up to be mocked, and in the end you're gone.

[leeroysphitz]

39. I might be tempted to sing a little song...

One day.

[elshiva]

40. Fade away in a Blade of Glory.

[petronius]

41. My blaze of glory would get like 3 views and 0 responses

I know that for a fact - I've tried eleven times so far... :)

[Orsino]

42. No such thing.

Leaving DU upsets a few people for a few minutes, but life goes on.

[Turbineguy]

43. Sore

But then I remember: "Do not stand upon the order of your leaving, just go."
