Yep. It didn't last, as usual. We should start taking bets on how long until it happens again, how much angst and drama will accompany the next grand exit, and how long the absence will last.

Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

The claim that you had gone for good was also in your Signature, now modified. Therefore its not really fair of you to make comments against others 'bleating about what I do or don't do' when you have previously stated that you had cleared off and would no longer post.

I dont know Dreck and I dont know EoC, I cannot see much in this thread that has targetted EoC, especially when a declared exit has been made.
Either keep to your word or keep your head down and behave yourself.

Sorry to be blunt but I have no connection to you, I just don’t like drama , your FPG life seems surrounded by drama
I cannot speak for anyone else but it doesn’t matter two hoots whether you posted in the future or not, I am sure that if I never posted again no one would notice. All I want is to read something on here that is interesting or informative or entertaining all to do with my FP hobby.
If I want to take a break then that’s just as good, but I am not going to make a drama about it, and I cannot think of a reason why anyone would want to say something like
"I've got 12 minutes before midnight ends my involvement here - but if I lose this there are virtually no chances of getting anything like it. My resources here are limited and thin.” Ending your involvement, trying to understand how that works for you
What’s that all about?
I have no axe to grind here, yours, mine and 80% of the posts on here are not sufficiently important or even entertaining enough for anyone to care that much, just don’t make a drama out of it, you are the only one who does it and maybe the only one who cares. You had been on my Ignore list and only removed your name when I thought you had gone for good.
I am not usually one to tell anyone how to behave but it seems to me that you have two choices, go for good or behave yourself in an undramatic way.
This is much less important to me than the time I have already given, I dont really care enough to comment further.
You know what. I for one appreciate David (EoC)'s contributions to FPG.
He came up with topics of discussions and I learn a lot from the responses.
Do I always agree with his view? Of course not, we are different persons.
But that's what makes this forum useful and good: Genuine questions, comments, and preferably free of snarky-ness.

We might re-read the opening four or five posts of this thread.

I'm not questioning the usefulness or validity of actual content--when and where it exists. I've no problems whatsoever with different viewpoints or personalities--to a point. What is as exhausting as it is entertaining is the ubiquitous, egregious, insane, and overblown drama that inevitably accompanies the content. If an individual insists on acting like an hysterical toddler, nobody should be surprised at the reactions to such behavior.

I’m with penwash, I know EOC quite a long time, already from the dark side.
He was always eccentric, but I like his contributions, he makes the forum brighter and more interesting.
As for my part I would like to see him contributing more again.
And his handwriting is excellent

Rule 63: Do not revive a thread where there's joy in it slipping towards and off the bottom of the page, for example:
*Seems this thread has died*, but to put in a bit of input**....
