So Long OT; I'm Out for Good

This place has often been a refuge for me for years while I dealt with an awful illness of a family member. That is nearly resolved, and I am checking out from the OT (though not from life) for good. A few parting thoughts.

1. A lot of ya'll are extremely funny. I mean laugh out loud for real kind of funny. I have done spit takes while reading your posts. Thank you for that brightness.

2. Most of ya'll are pretty smart. I've learned a great deal about the state, politics, and business reading your posts. This format has been particularly good for getting inside insights on big events from people in the know. There is a sprinkling of dumbasses of all educational levels. But a huge portion of you are -- even some who show a lack of formal education -- are just sharp as shite.

3. The sex thing. There are swordsman, 40 year old virgins, and obvious perverts on this site. Sometimes it gets a little creepy. I find the Paige thing a little odd. (I am not knocking you Paige.)

4. Some of ya'll are racist. That's just true. I get that you feel that political correctness is crowding you out of the mainstream, and that this is a place to freely vent. But some of ya'll got real issues with the black folk.

5. I owe many of you an apology. I have used this as a place to vent anger and frustration I felt from dealing with cruel and unfair circumstances. That led me to sometimes be quite acid toward some of you, and sometimes just an outright dick. It met a need. That's all I can say, except to add that this is meeting some need for everyone that posts here a lot. Anyway, sorry.

Good luck to all of you. I am still not geauxjudge or even a judge at all.

tl; dr: I'm signing off the OT for good you magnificent bastards.
