Journal Em Emalb's Journal: Goodbye 29

Thanks to several of you for making my time here quite enjoyable.

The bickering and childishness displayed here lately has made me want to leave even more. I'm very disappointed in pretty much everyone. I can't believe some of the words people are putting to paper. (This isn't only about the election stuff)

I've been debating it for a while, since all anyone does on here is bitch...including myself.

Josh, email me when you get unread working.

Until then, goodbye.

In case you were wondering, no, this isn't a joke. I'm dead serious. I'm deeply disappointed in this place and the people on it. I have better uses for my time. Don't bother responding, I won't be hear to read it.

Thanks to Sielwolf, Sam, Mekka, Blinder, Btlzu2, Josh, Rich, SW, Red5, SiliconJ, Ab, Arb, B_A_N, Babyheadrush, bethanie, buffer, Cyranno, Daoine, Dayton, Eglamkowski, Ellem, elmegil, Ethelred, George (of course, first "friend" I made on the dot) GLH, Helio, Iamtehfallen, Jeffey, Johndiii, shit, there's a whole list of you.

Thank you for making most of my time here enjoyable. Life goes on. You know how to get ahold of me if you want to. (Hurry up with Unread, Josh!)

  • And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out of this cesspit. Oh, and give me your password (Mekka b (at) gmailYOURBRA . com (as always, to send mail, remove YOUR BRA)).

    Thanks in advance. ;)

    P.S>- yeah, I'll miss you. That doesn't make me any less of a berzerkor, man!
  • A world without Pollmaster Em will be a very dark place indeed.

    -MT.
  • See you on Unread.
  • So, I interviewed for an Em Franchise, but your people never got back with my people. I guess I should have followed up sooner, and that their silence means that I don't have the necessary qualifications to be an Em Franchise owner. That of course, is code for "I didn't bribe them enough", that can of course be rectified. ;)
  • I'll put my pants back on.
  • Have fun in the post-slashdot world.
  • I haven't looked at the journals in a long while. and today I see this....

    It really is a sad day for /. and I really mean that. Em, I remember you before the polls, and glitz and glamour as the 'pollmasta', it's been a good run.

    Best of luck in everything.

  • em i will miss you, trashmouth and all.

    send the twins an abusive email now and again, would you? evilATsolemndragonDOTorg.

    (I'm assuming that you're being truthful here, but you can never tell -- that's the penalty for crying wolf).

    I'll miss you when you're gone... You're one of the more interesting people around here. Part of the landscape, if you will. But good luck with, well, everything.

    Thought for the day: how will this affect things? Sure, we lost LG and Banky without things changing too much. But what effect will a figure as central as Em leaving have on our little community? Time will tell...

    PS. Given that unread

  • LONG LIVE EM #7!!!!
  • ...don't be a little bitch. But hey it's your time to spend as you will, so be it.
  • ...for helping keep it interesting around here. You will be missed.
  • you've got my email. unless you deleted it, in which case it doesn't matter.

    anyway, if you're ever in ohio, you're welcome to stay over at my place. maybe i will see you around somewhere sometime, online or in real life. but in case not, i wish you a good life. take care.
  • See ya bro... I'm sure you'll be around when unread is up and running... then maybe we'll get your brand (TM) of a sarcastic polling most of us need to start the day.

    Out
  • Will be tough to try and finish if you aren't gonna be on here to entertain us with the polls!

    Why not take a few days off and return. Maybe its just a phase or seomthing?
  • If only I had ranted more...

    Jeez, this really sucks. True or false, you should have at least waited until Friday. Had you done that, people would say "Wait, remember when he pulled that 'Dread Pirate Roberts' crap? That was a joking Friday sign-off." As it is, you sorta removed some of the turmoil you could have created.

    Oh well, bugger off, see you on unread.
  • I've noticed myself that I come and visit less and less often. I'll notice responses to my posts and I'll save the little notification in the message center thinking, "I'll respond later". I never do and end up deleting the message after a week. Eventually I will probably just fade out of existence on Slashdot. I've never been one for big exits.

  • I wish I had the strength to finally quit cold turkey.

    Thank you for sharing your self with us.
  • Blame Me.

    I umm, I just got it.
    hmmm.

    I was laying in bed when I was trying to think how to really pronounce your name and what on earth could it mean...

    well.

    wow

    I didn't know I was that stupid.

    Just kinda.

    wow.
  • To sustain Slashdot one has to have side activities or it's quite easy to go nuts and get stuck in a posting/reloading pattern or even turn into an occasional trol or something. I must still be blacklisted somewhere btw since I have lost moderation a couple of years ago and it hasn't been back. but that's okay because I don't care either.

    My bottom line is that this isn't a place which should be taken too seriously. The editors generally do a poor job at puting stories up, but there are some stories deemed

  • This place has always been about being childish and bickering around. :-) Anyways, I loved the polls and it's sad to see another positive poster leaving.

    So long, and thanks for all the posts! :-(

  • Hey, will miss you Em. Hope Josh gets unread done soon.. I've been waiting for the change myself. Keep on keepin' on in the mean time...
  • So, I return, only to find you leaving. Gah. Best of luck, and enjoy the void.
