Hmm, well I think you're missing the point, zed. It's admirable what you're doing but I think you're slightly off target.

I treat everyone the same, Busyman gets exactly the same treatment as Yogi did. The difference is that Busyman is prepared for a little criticism and didn't leave. Tbh, some of the things I've said to Busy are a lot worse than anything I've said to Yogi.

I do post a fair bit about my life, as does Chebus, but I usually try to be self depreciating or deliberately OTT. Like the bin thread or referring to myself as a grammaticaster bank clerk. Practically everyone derides me but I realise that whatever I post is open to ridicule, if I was bothered that someone wouldn't approve, I wouldn't post it.

As to the rest, Yogi's posts delighted you but they bored me. I'm just being honest, the same as you

It never ceases to amaze me that people decide to leave a forum because they have fallen out with certain members. Then they feel obliged to return to the forum to say they have done it.

This is a particularly sad example, as he felt he also had to say that he had found new and better pals.

Take care of yourself, I'm glad you have found a place which you enjoy more than here. If you come back and post here again, cool. If not, all the best to you and your's. I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous life.

That's a bit h4r5h

I liked seeing Yogi's life, one that is so different from mine, but with some similarities in approach if not content.

Still, I think he got a little over sensitive to the criticisms....

However, some people were a bit h4rsh....

but then those people tend to be...it is their way of doing things sometimes, which in my opinion adds value to the board....

I think the bad thing about all this is that Yogi couldn't take the flack and shrug it off with a smile and a meh.....so now we have lost a real character, love him or hate him, he was certainly a contributor that provided a little off the wall spice, nothing wrong with a little loonyness is there?

I had him marked down as a pseudo loony.

Not like InternetNews, he was a real space cadet.
