Good riddance. Your thread that's now been closed was full of hate and started with you. Get over yourself, you're not that important.

I'm not sure it was possible for somebody to be this classless here. Maybe one day (I highly doubt it though) you will have earned the respect of 85% of the people here as Brian has.

Fair enough. I'm not here to argue man, and I'm definitely not on a band's forum trying earn anyone's respect. I do know that creating a thread where you tell people to fuck off and to fuck themselves in your first post of the thread makes me wary of that individual. Immediately following the close by an admin of that thread they then start a new one saying adios and hoping for open praise when they instead could easily pm the 40 or so people they know and tell them personally they're leaving.

Sorry you took offense to it, as I did to the op's first thread. To his credit, he took what I said and didn't argue with me, as I'm sure he realized he f'd up with the first thread and someone was going to call him out on it.

Anyway, peace to all, I said what I needed to say at the time and I'm over it. I'm sure he's a stand up guy and was just pissed off at the time, just like I was.

look, I get it. i have bared witness to some of brian's outbursts in the past, and i too have taken him to task for it. but it deserves context. he is incredibly passionate about the earth, our environment, the survival of our species, and the fair treatment of all species, and also what is right for humans in a free society. he has spent an immeasurable amount of time on here talking to the figurative wall, spreading truths about what is really going on, how to better ourselves, our society, our world around us.

he is an incredibly passionate human being, and occasionally, it can get the better of him.

he has hoped for decades that he would get to see progress, real, tangible progress, lead by the leaders we elect, the scientists we respect, and the community at large. that has no happened. not even close to what needs to.

no one in power will give a fuck about conservation until they figure out how to profit from it. and that is painful for someone like brian to be aware of.

while the other thread may have seemed like a childish outburst, it was more a showcasing of the years of frustration coming to boil after the election of the biggest joke of our time, a guy who put a climate change denier at the head of the EPA. he may as well have taken a picture of himself dumping a drum of oil into the ocean with a thumbs up.

that would be like ed quitting pearl jam, and the boys moving forward with scott stapp. it's unthinkable.

and yes, goodbye threads can seem a little self absorbed. the thing is, he isn't doing this for "show" or attention, or going out in a blaze of glory hating on 10club like most of these types of threads are. he's doing it as an honest goodbye so no one is forgotten by individual pm and to let them know where they can find him elsewhere.

i don't fault you for your reaction, as it is understandable out of context. just wanted to give you some background info.

Got it, didn't realize there was a whole background of positivity here, I just took it for what it was. I don't spend much time here in politics on this forum, I don't know who is who. I tend to hang in the far more volatile unregulated politics forum on a weed growers site which need not be named. Thanks for the history.
