Politics-I'm out

[Catscratch]

I've been a mod/admin on large forums and "owned" a couple small niche forums. (and no I'm not telling Bill how to run the place) One thing never allowed was "I'm leaving" threads. Wanna go? Go. No grand gestures, virtue signaling, pity parties, I'm leaving, talk me out of it, you'll miss when I'm gone, etc etc. Always zapped them right off the bat and deactivated the account before they changed their mind. lol This isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your departure. Always say, if I decide to leave a place, you'll know it by my absence. Or possibly not notice at all. I don't think I'm so important I have to inform everyone I'm leaving.

I worked at a place that was like that. It was a machine shop. We all owned toolboxes filled with thousands of dollars worth of our own tools. Fired people were given their paycheck at lunch and expected to have their property off the premises immediately. They did not want freshly fired guys running around the shop spreading cancer. They also didn't not want unsupervised ex-employees coming in on a weekend "to get their toolbox" and possibly causing damage.

Gonna be hard to find anywhere that some politics won't come up from time to time. People should be somewhat concerned about what's going on in our world. Unfortunately we can't really control much if any of it anyway so talking about anything political might just be a decent way to vent about it and maybe find someone else that can give a little feedback good or bad. Everyone wants to be right and when you have two opposite sides to something you can't always be right. I like to follow facts and go on things that can be proven myself. Easy enough to not participate in things you don't like. Sometimes a guy just needs a break too. That's life

Bill, DO NOT CANCEL THE MEME THREAD ! Please !! Even if it could be construed as political . I don't look at any of the other political threads. Not why I come here. But the meme thread is a highlight and blessings to all the irreverent political posters that brighten my day.

Agreed.

I’ve read a meme and had to go google what happened in the world to cause such a meme. Bill, don’t you touch that thread

I wasn't going to reply on this thread and just let it go. It's a tough balancing act with how much "off" topic to let slide. I get guys want to talk about current events. As long it's civil I give some leeway, I would prefer the latest one be the only one showing up and would love to see some of the old ones go quietly into the night.
