+Jhwk Posted August 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted August 22, 2006 Share 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...... Link to comment

+El Diablo Posted August 22, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment

+LadeBear68 Posted August 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment

+AuntieWeasel Posted August 22, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment

+Criminal Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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.

+wimseyguy Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment
+Big Max Posted August 23, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment

I've never seen Jhawk accused of cheating, or even championing any any of the behaviors that generally bring that sort of comment. Link to 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. Link to comment
