I suppose the most precise way to put it would be "is convinced by" rather than "agrees with".

I don't know if this is related to his visits here at all, but I just noticed this thread on FDR, by BlackAcidLizzard:

I'm out. I won't be around here any longer...

He also said some nice things about that community, but he didn't give any explanation for why he was leaving it. I wonder if we'll see any more of him around here.

Whats interesting to me is that no one responded. Not even one goodbye so far.

That IS ... a tale in itself..
perhaps they said good bye privately...
oh crap... tale number two

their loss

Well, what sense would it make to respond to a board post in this case? Even assuming I would wish to check up on this thread for a couple days (which I am), an IP ban would seem to be a distinct possibility to anyone who reads this.
I have gotten one email from a "non-dissident" member... (just to put what evidence I can against the insinuations of "lock-stepping").....

were you referring to 'this' as LIMI or your post on FDR? If so did you mean people who respond to it instead of read it?

I hope you got as much as you could out of FDR. It has some good stuff despite the things we talk about on this board.

If people really won't post a goodbye because they recognize the looming threat of an IP ban, then that speaks volumes about the atmosphere Stef has created, even amongst his supporters.

Oh, sorry I wan't clear.

What I meant was that anyone reading my "farewell post" would have reason to expect that I would likely be IP banned, and therefore would not see their response. Replying on the board to a post like this would seem to me similar to writting a letter, putting it in a stamped and adressed envelope and throwing it out the window of your car on the freeway (taxway?).

Thanks for clearing that up.
I guess I didn't understand because I would never throw a stamped envelope away like that because I don't like to litter.
Seriously though Stef has the please stop posting here level and the IP ban level of disassociation. Many people also leave on there own so it would be hard for us to guess that.
I am sure we would all like to know more of your story but thats up to you of course if and when and the what of it.
