WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Donovan]

My irritation at ESAD came from this being about the fourth or fifth time I've watched him ragequit a board because he got his knickers in a twist,

Let me put this in terms you will understand:

It's like going to a singles' bar and the only people there are your exes.

These newcomers are like old pussy to ESAD.

I get that, and if I hadn't seen this kind of stuff out of him half a dozen times I wouldn't even be irritated. Drama-goodbye forever threads crack me up. But realistically, any time you get an "invasion" from somewhere else it usually goes the same way: a handful of lookyloos show up, post for a couple weeks, then most everybody disappears. If you're lucky you may get one or two who stay on and contribute. The fact that this particular case retained a few extras is a testament to the quality of Mock as a messageboard AND the current wasteland state of the previous board. And here's ESAD like some Pythonesque Black Knight hopping around on one leg yelling "None shall pass" while everyone just steps around him.

ESAD has a history of throwing hissy fits and storming off for a while when he feels the world has been unfair to him. It was barely tolerable when he was a snotnose twentysomething. Now he's hit 30, it's time for him to put on big boy pants. He'll either be back or he won't, but I'm tired of him mewling like a prepubescent on the way out.

Here's ESAD with his "leaving forever hat" on.
