Ave Whiteblaze, et valeActually translates as: 'hail and farewell, Whiteblaze'. The second half 'translation' is actually a quote clipped from a Douglas Adams' book and also a title of another....which roughly translates as,
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Don't let the door hit ya where creator split ya!Originally Posted by The Weasel
C'mon the Weasel, give it another chance...please...I actually would very much like to read the condensed article version of the "how not to get your pack searched by the man and other legal issues 101" thread. Just ignore the brasshats. Unless you really are a troll....but If Rock says you're sincere then I believe. So c'mon, you can't walk away in media bellum.
Awwwww..... how cute!

I wish you well, too bad our petty disconnect was left open-ended. Unfortunate that this post was your last to the 99% of website members who had zero direct interaction with you. I've read all the books.
That's my dog, Echo. He's a fine young dog.
Weasel.....
Stick around.
Don't drink coffee or alcohol before posting.
Read, and re-read your draft posting before hitting that button.
Don't be tempted to respond to anything controversial.
------OR-----
Do drink coffee or alcohol before posting.....just use ONE FINGER to type.
Respond to anything and pay the price of being embarrassed or slapped around when we see you at a hiker event......yeah there ya go......
That's exactly what I do.
That's exactly what I do.
Is it a MIDDLE finger??
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Austexs.... Time to lay off! If you don't like The Weasel that's fine, but quit with the attacks already.Awwwww..... how cute!

OK Dixiecritter.
What? Who are you? I haven't even met you yet and your off and running away already?
I hope you change your mind Russ. Sorry I wasn't around more as you started to come back on the site. So many people mis-read you and beat you up for it and never got to know how good a guy you are. They have lost for it and may never get to realize that.
Sorry about that old friend. Wish I could have been around more for you.

Don't go, we need ya. I've found out on this site that you can tell everybody the sky is blue and most reasonable people will agree w/o responding, but, a few nutcases will be determined to argue the point into the ground while insulting you and your mom at the same time. Don't go.
Maybe. Maybe we would have realized it if he was as saintly as you paint him out to be. Had he been less abrasive and less insulting and less inclined to stir the crap pot, more people might miss him.
Face it. Some of his posts were designed to irritate people, and he was often insulting. Not that it makes him any better or worse than anyone else who does this, but there isn't any justification to slobber over him now and fill out the Application for Sainthood form.
People will miss him or not miss him based on how he behaved. It is good that he sent you an email many years ago, and it is a testiment to your loyalty that you give him a free pass for life based on that one act, but for for some of us what he does now determines how we see him now.
I do not see that Whiteblaze is any worse off for his having left. Others may see it differently and that is fine.
The strength of the wolf is in the pack.

Not necessarily. Lone wolves are better off without a pack.
Slackpackers?
Not this wolf.
I seem to recall several months back when another prolific poster here on WB threatened to quit. Man that created a flurry of posts -- pro and con. Funny thing is, WB kept on keeping on. I guess that's why I love it so much. Thanks to the Admins for all the hard work. 99.999% of us really do appreciate it.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Afraid I have to agree with Frosty's comments in post #15 and I don't feel that way solely because I was one of the targets. When anyone shows up in a group and immediately demands everyone respect them without earning the respect of the group, there's going to be problems. When anyone new starts moving thru a community stating his or her opinion as incontrovertible laws that must be obeyed, there's going to be problems. When anyone new to a group starts giving orders to established members without actually having any authority to do so, there's going to be problems.
Russ may be an OK guy, but I didn't see much evidence of that while he was here. Perhaps he will return one day and integrate into the community instead of trying to take over the community
