Dontcha hate when people say their quitting DU, they keep posting?

[trumad]

They post a big long letter telling us why we suck and why they are through with DU. Their last sentence in the post is usually a definitive, GOODBYE!

But then in that same thread that they started telling us they quit, they'll write about 20 additional posts.

I say if you quit, you quit. No posting why, ya just quit. If you HAVE to tell us why, then don't come back after you quit, and continue posting.

4. Reminds me of when I worked at a fast food restaurant

There would be some customers who were just assholes. They complained and were very insulting towards the person who was taking their money or giving them food. Some of them ended their rant with: "And I am never coming back here again." At least a few of them did within days and said something similiar. One of my coworkers, tired of putting up with that from a particuliar customer, said "Do you promise?" when the customer said that she was never coming back for the third time in 2 weeks.

5. YES! It drives me nuts!

(This, from a guy who has quit DU once out of exhaustion, been banned, and taken another sabbatical for exhaustion...)

So, I guess I would be a bit lenient, but I do think people who are 'quitting' should stay the hell away for at LEAST 3 weeks. :)

7. Having done it myself, I can see the frustration.

However, what irks me more are all the retarded neener-neener copycat threads that make us look even more sophomoric than the person who's leaving.

does that make me sophomoric (i'm guessing "yes")? :silly:

[leftofthedial]

[Bluebear]

11. I have never seen one of those farewell posts end up good

On any board I frequent. I do agree with you, if you are going to slam the door dramatically, do it.

[Misunderestimator]

12. You are such a little shit-stirrer aren't you?

:) :hi:

On edit... you know what I hate? When you start a thread and someone comes and shits all over it, and because of that one person the thread is locked. I hate that.

[trumad]

15. I never get my threads locked...

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

17. Yeah, neither do I

of their melodramatic departure. :P

[Telly Savalas]

14. I hate such posts so much I'm leaving here myself!!!!1111

[Pithlet]

16. I'm really leaving, this time.

I mean it. Don't you try to stop me. I won't have any of it. I'm gone. Goodbye forever! I'm not going to check in on this thread to see who responds. Or reply to any of them. No siree.
