After almost exactly 11 months here I think my time has come to an end, at least for the time being. Certain events have transpired which have led to me being less able and less willing to visit AF day-to-day. I've changed a lot in the last year and this place was a large factor of that change (mainly in a positive way). My views on religion have gone through a metamorphosis of sorts: I've turned from a fairly hardcore anti-theist to something more resembling a passive atheist, who just has a problem with dicks of all beliefs. AF definitely helped shape that - people like C_L and Kingpin have made me realise that the labels we affix to ourselves and others often mean very little - the unity of our species is of the utmost importance and must transcend all artificial barriers that we have erected over time.
I think I've also grown as a person - again, AF had a hand in that.
I've met some truly splendid people here - you know who you are. You're all more than welcome to keep in touch via Facebook. I guess I'll miss this place, but for some pretty strong reasons, I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.
