Well, I and I's quitting, and this is why:
As esteemed Brother Ring has noted on another thread, it would seem we amount to nothing to the owners of this board. In the light of that, further participation would be a tad undignified (a bit like lingering at a party you know is being held under duress).
It has also been noted that themes or material we have posted up here have popped up in the mag. Why should I or anyone else continue sharing our thoughts when we know very well they may be borrowed to the greater glory of a bunch of people who treat us with benign disdain and neglect?
And another thing. As if this were not enough, the whole 'the mods have driven the bright and beautiful away' thing has kicked off again. I'm sorry, do the rest of us bore? I've seen enough narcissism and spite on here to satisfy me for a modest lifetime; I really can't be bothered witnessing another round of it all.
You are a splendid bunch of people, and I wish you all the very best - I'm off to work on something else, so who knows, maybe we'll bump into each other sometime soon?
