I've been enjoying the accolades and kind advice, much appreciated, but you all missed my point.
"I am leaving" means I am leaving. "I am leaving I am leaving", particularly with reference to the Paul Simon song, means I ought to leave for my own health and sanity, but probably, knowing myself, I am not.
However, my online presence is going to change a bit. Expect fewer and shorter contributions for a while, while a new project is in the works.
We in for a surprise then?

Wha - so were supposed to complete the lyric?
ReplyDelete"...But the fighter still remains."
This is almost Rabettesque.

heh, my initial thought was "but the fighter still remains"... :)
ReplyDeletewhatever works best for YOU and also know that a lot of people are genuinely indebted... "long may you run" (it's a Neil thing)
I feel as if I'm stuck with Vladimir and Estragon while waiting for Gudot. Even this thread's so-called explanation sounds like a response from Estragon...
ReplyDeleteAs a lurker, I can only say "whew". Your voice of reason is important in these forums. Your frustration, though, is understandable - Paul Simon summarized your opponents perfectly:
ReplyDelete"Still a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest..mmmmm mmmmm"
(the mmms are fingers in ears, no?)
If your're not actually going anywhere, how will we know when you've left?
ReplyDeleteWith the almost daily grind of bad news and worse news on the climate change front I find it difficult to keep from despair and/or rage. I've often wondered how posters like you and Joe Romm deal with the load.
ReplyDeleteIf you're taking a break from confronting it head on I'll thank you now and look forward to whatever you continue to post.
