Title: Retreating to my ivory tower
Post by: Spike on March 12, 2010, 02:44:51 pm
I think it will be good for me to stop posting here for a while. I am annoyed by some things and developments, but I don't want to get involved in fights and discussions, which would inevitably happen if I speak up.

I'll be back once I feel better again.

First, "aww", but only because I'm so glad to have you around.

Second, I support whatever you need to do to be happy.

Third, I will welcome your eventual return.

Fourth, if you do NOT eventually return, I will form a search party and we will kidnap you and bring you back. ;-)

So take care of yourself. :)

Thank you for the kind words, Isaac. I'll miss you and a few more people from this place, too.

Late winter/early spring often gives me depression and makes me very sensitive to all kinds of things that seem to annoy me. So this is just kind of a safety measure to keep peace until I am emotionally more stable again.

It's a pity. We don't consider you as dangerous as you see yourself but if you have to hibernate as groundhogs..

We're looking forward to see you around here again.

Thanks, all :)

The recent license discussion brought me back. I felt a need to clarify that the artistic license is the "right" one, and that other texts are leftovers from former times which have been superseded by the artistic license.

Hajo! :D

It is always nice to see you around here. You are definitely missed when you are gone - but don't feel bad, we know how it goes, and some of us also come and go. :)

Thank you for the nice welcome back :)

Maybe I can contribute a few ideas here and there. I've been working to get more into programming again, but often I loose motivation before finishing something. Also been trying to get more into photography and artistic works again. This uses to be quite entertaining at times.
