"I am leaving!" posts...a thought from an "old timer."
Sadly, I don't even know who they are 3/4 of the time now, nor can I figure out what they are bitching about.

Isn't that odd.

2. nah. DU has always had batshit members....I mean, hey, it was started
because people were batshit furious about the Selection.

I just think it's interesting that with the number of members, and the ebb and flow of the internet, that I don't even know anyone anymore.

3. Yeah, big whoop.
Like what does it take to leave or come back? A frigging mouse click. We're not talking about physically moving away from someplace.
Divas and drama queens, don't ya just love 'em?

4. The greatest "Goodbye cruel DU!" post is currently ongoing in GD as we speak.
Seriously, the responses are classic. I rec'd just because of the responses.

I love how the OP has all of 25 posts.

6. All that was missing from the OP was
"Waaaa, I'm gonna hold my breath 'til I turn blue! I'm gonna kick the back of the seat until you turn around and pop me! I'm gonna throw my hair ribbons on the floor!"

Along with the tomb stone, the mods should award a rhinestone tiara to these drama queens.

8. DU is like the Mafia, you try to leave, but it just keeps dragging you back in.
But because of the melodrama and derision that such posts provoke, I have found if you're going to leave, just leave. Either people will notice your absence or not, such is life.

11. I can see where someone would want to let their friends know they
aren't MIA, but they have decided to leave. I don't get the ones saying kiss my ass, etc. :shrug:

12. Yes...it really "IS" odd.
:shrug: 25 Posts....but then I've seen "Old Timers" with thousands of posts get the "Don't let the door hit your Ass on the Way Out." So, I'm kind of immune when it comes to a person with "25 Posts" doing something like that.

Figure it's a troll.

14. They should just leave.
No fanfare. Send a PM to those close to you. No need to make a big deal out of it.
