+Jhwk Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Growing tired of the constant bickering, fingerpointing, and arguments over strips of paper in a plastic container, I am hereby banning myself from the forums for the period of one week. Maybe you guys can find something constructive or positive or even unique to discuss while I am gone. I think, instead, I'll go find a few caches and not piss and moan or whine and complain about anything or anyone. The sport is fun, if you let it be. cya.
ParentsofSAM Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Have a nice week! Get some nice caches! Read a book to your children, take up gardening, clean out the garage.....have fun! But somehow I think that when you come back in a week the same crap will be going on......
+Mopar Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Sorry, no geocides for me, especially ones for only a week. I don't log temps.
+Airmapper Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Oh cool! A geocide, it's about time. Edited August 22, 2006 by Airmapper
+cache_test_dummies Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Voluntary seven day abstinence from the forums. Anybody remember Regular Free Week?
+El Diablo Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Stepping away from the fourms isn't a bad idea. I've done it and came back...well the same as ever. Still it's not a bad idea. I'd rather see someone step back rather than quit. El Diablo
+NatureGuy360 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 All right man take it easy and we'll see you on the trails.
+welch Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Have fun Let me know about the fun ones when you get back, oh and pictures are always nice
+LadeBear68 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Why start a thread that you aren't going to watch or read for the next week? Are we supposed to go running after you to make you stop and come back? I'm so confused.

+cachew nut Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Stepping away from the fourms isn't a bad idea. Alrighty then, see you next week too! Anybody else?

+DocDiTTo Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Why start a thread that you aren't going to watch or read for the next week? Are we supposed to go running after you to make you stop and come back? I'm so confused. It's part of the mystique of a geocide. Does he really come back to read the forums, but not respond? Does he really not come back for a week? Will he come back and post before his official week is up, thereby failing in the geocide attempt? The mystery and intrigue of a geocide knows no limits. That's why we're all hanging on the edge of our seats, hitting that refresh button to see what happens next... or not.
+hikergps Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 You go have fun. Find your happy place whilst you are out.

+AuntieWeasel Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I've wandered away from a lot of forums, but I never dared post one of these. I was afraid the reaction would be, "uh huh. And you are...?" Which is what the reaction ought to be, anyhow.
+palmetto Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 My dear Ms. Weasel, if YOU announced a forum vacation, there would be a distinct response - a good 15 seconds of mourning, maybe 30 in OT.

The sport is fun, if you let it be. cya. Ok, but what kind of geocaching will you be doing? The real kind, where you find the container and sign the log, or the new kind, where the owner gives you permission to lie for trying really hard?
+BomberJjr Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 I've had to do just this a few times already. These forums get to be too much sometimes.

+Criminal Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I'll give 'it' a rest when Found It means you found the cache. I have little tolerance for liars who try to change the game to suit their own lazy underachieving over important phony find count. If exposing their fib makes them quit the forums, buh-bye.

Psssst !! ....let's talk about him, while he's gone....!
+wimseyguy Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Psst, look about 15 posts above you. And I don't think Jhawk is in time out because criminal caught him cheating, but I could be wrong about that. I think he's also tired of that tune. But we all have our drums to beat to make ourselves feel good.
+Big Max Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Reading the forums just goes to show most people never really get past Kindergarten. They get mad because nobody else wants to play the game their way or if you post a question you have to wade through 15 posts calling ou names for being an idiot before you get a decent answer. Pretty much the same on most forums I have frequented. Joking around and teasing your buds is one thing; name calling, griping and whining is another.
+CheshireFrog Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Psst, look about 15 posts above you. And I don't think Jhawk is in time out because criminal caught him cheating, but I could be wrong about that. I think he's also tired of that tune. But we all have our drums to beat to make ourselves feel good. I wondered about the context of that post, too. I've never seen Jhawk accused of cheating, or even championing any any of the behaviors that generally bring that sort of comment.

But we all have our drums to beat to make ourselves feel good. No, I didn't 'catch' anything, I was just making a tongue-in-cheek comment which was found to be offensive apparently. I love the asinine argument about 'playing the game your way' though. Body-checking the first baseman or cheating on your taxes is 'playing the game your way' too, right? There is only one way to geocache.
CoyoteRed Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 There is only one way to geocache. But given some of the above posts it's wrong to have that kind of opinion, make it known, and stand by it.

Huh? It's wrong to have an opinion? It's wrong for that opinion to be 'find a cache, sign the log book, get a smiley'? It's wrong to stand by your position? When did this happen?
