Goodbye

Goodbye

This isn't click-bait, but I really should title the thread "thank you". Thanks for a wonderful 4 years, and I have to go. It's time to move forward. Here's a video saying goodbye, expressing how grateful I am to have had this experience, and of course explaining why I've made this choice:

Trigger Warning: Please do not view this video if you're a recovering addict, as I drink neat vodka in it.




Hopefully it's not too negative, I tried to stay focused on the positives - because I really appreciate the past 4 years. Of course that was difficult given my foot, as well as other reasons. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, at all, with my assessment of this situation, it's how I feel and I need to do what is right for me. It's not the time to argue about it, that time has past. This community has meant a lot to me over the last four years, but it's time to move forward. Oh and I was right about Trump, half of you said I had no idea what I was talking about predicting he would win, well maybe I'm not as dumb as you think I am.

You can read the censored version of my blog post on Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome <snip>. I repeat it is censored, and you can audit that on a separate page:




You may also view the presentation I had to make on Stigma here:





I admit it's not my greatest work. It is now at a standard I can stand behind. FYI the earlier version I was dissatisfied with was marked 89/100 (info here).

I'm not sure what else I can say other than the fact that I appreciate you all, I will miss you all, you're all fantastic, and I hope the community continues to thrive on into the future. Thanks for everything and fair-well,

A

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Well, I hope you change your mind and don't make it a permanent leave, Aractus.
I never knew about your blog and I've just spent a good half hour looking it over.
It won't be my last visit.
I hope your foot mends quickly.
See ya man. :-)

RE: Goodbye
I don't like these kinds of posts in general, they're too... permanent.

Either way from a personal point of view I've always thought you an intelligent well reasoned guy, have a good one.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your injury!

Good luck.

Damn, now we have to find another America-hating Aussie.

Anyway, good luck, Aractus.
