    no one is running Nik out. He is a valuable member of the community. And a very valuable member of the site staff as well. Very sad to see him step down. And many other mods share the same sentiments. But you gotta do whats best for you.

    We can take the Heat.

    It's the Bobcats and Hawks we have a problem with.

    Doyle Brunson had a saying: You can shear a sheep many times, but skin him only once. You're getting close to skinning the sheep. Of course, the internet is a big place; you skin this place, there are plenty of others. A reasonable person, however, thinks of others. I dare you to be reasonable; personally, I think you're too much of a Cluster B personality type to actually think of others.

    One of the things I love about this place is the amount of leeway we're given in our posting. With it means that the individual has responsibility normally reserved for the mods. I'd like to see some posters understand that individual responsibility to the group as a whole. We're all lessened when the mods have to step in.

    That's the best post about the actual reality of this situation that I've seen. Repped.

    Someone like you Maxie who hides behind his posts pretending to be something he isn't. I've been upfront. Like I have said many times... Put your private info out or shut your mouth. All I have learned is your a coward. And you provoke just as much as anyone on here just much more subtle. You are the kind of person I despise. A know it all who is the biggest p..y of all.maybe you wanted to be a shrink but your not smart enough. Idk but I can tell you more about me if you wanna meet. Otherwise keep hiding in Denver.

    Another mixum thread? Hilarious.

    There can't be yet another migration. Someone would have told me. Right?

    Right?

    It's funny how they hate me, wanna ban me, call me a troll, blame me for mods stepping down yet every thread turns into a thread regarding me. Amazingly this happens even when I don't post. We even have dip shits trying to diagnose me with personality disorders yet they have never spoken to me! Talk about hilarious.

    I've posted plenty of personal info on this site. Frankly, probably too much.

    As for your statements as what I am or what I must do, thank you for your opinion. If I provoke people on this site, it's unintentional. I probably don't have as much patience as I should have with those that post regarding economics in the OT forum, but none of us are perfect. Thanks for pointing out one of my shortcomings. I'll work on being better.

    I'm awfully sorry you don't like me. I don't really think about you much at all other than how it affects the forum in which I enjoy posting.

    I have zero interest in being a psychiatrist, although I do have keen interest in the field of behavorial economics and the Waltzian application of "Man" in international politics. I am, however, smart enough to know when to use "your" and when to use "you're".

    As for meeting you in person, what would make you think I have any interest whatsoever? I have plenty of friends in the three-dimensional world, none of whom feel the need to garner attention through acting out. And I'm not hiding anywhere. Denver is on the map and my place on LO is on the same street at Kevin Pritchard's/Wes Matthews' place. Swing on by if you're DJing a bar mitzvah.

    So Maxie can provoke but I can't respond? Maybe it's good you aren't a mod so you can't play favorites. Maxie is one of the biggest punks in here and mods ignore it,

    You're no more hated than a fly at a picnic. You're an annoyance, an externality, a price of participating in this forum. And for the record, your above post further confirms Cluster B.
