I am not leaving Barbelith

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear All,

I have been posting on and off on Barbelith now for several years, and it has been an absolute hoot chatting and chilling with you guys. I have seen some great posters come and go, and really enjoyed the company – good times, people, good times. However, in the past few weeks I have felt more and more like I have to announce that I am not leaving Barbelith.

Allow me to explain while I am not leaving the board.
I am not leaving the board for a number of reasons, not least because of a promotion which means I’ll be dealing with important people all day long, and sitting in lots of big meetings, leaving me with neither the time nor the inclination to hang out with you guys. Far from it.

I am not leaving due to a sudden move to an open plan office. I would like to further add, that in the open plan office that I am not moving to, I do not sit with four directors all in a neat semi-circle just behind me, with a clear view of my screen. The company has not engaged in any Draconian measures that would curtail internet activity.

I am not leaving Barbelith to pursue further study. I am not leaving the board for personal reasons, or to spend more time with my SO and family. I am not leaving for love, nor indeed money.

Barbelith is the way, the truth and the light. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...

I can only quote Alex Gein:
"[Hotel California] just makes me want to ram a pen into someones skull."

You do realise that if Jub is following the standard Barbelith procedure for this sort of thing, it means that he’s now left for good. And he will in no way continue to read this thread and start posting again within 15 minutes.

The hardest thing about leaving is the fear that nobody will notice you've gone.

One of those things about not leaving is that when a "why are they still around?" thread comes up and your name isn't mentioned you realise that you are just too important to warrant inclusion and that a harsh reality to have to accept.

On an personal note. I'm fucking sick of all of this non-fennecpiling on Jub to get him to change his mind and leave. If Jub wants to stay then I think barbelith as a collective, mature and reasonable community should respect his wishes. Furthermore I think you'll find that posters who declare their intent to stay rarely do so permanently. They usually just need some time with the board before changing their mind.

I stay for the sex.

Disturbingly, I just found myself laughing at something paranoidwriter said. This could be a good thing. Or a bad thing. I'm looking on the bright side.

That's why I stay. The surprises.

I like paranoidwriter. But then I've always been one to side with the underdog. [neukoln dons ra ra skirt and pom poms: Go paranoidwriter go! You're TEH BEST!!1!11! Come sit with me and share my egg and lettuce sandwiches.]
