We are swirling the toilet my friends.
We are running towards the light.
The sun is setting.
*sigh*
There is a lot of good and smart people here. Some idiots as well. You all know who you are, if not I can fill you in on my opinion.
As much as I would like to make a list of everyone whom I have appreciated on here my issue of a poor memory and not wanting to forget someone and getting people confused and what not. Suffice to say, if I like you and I respect you, you probably know it. Take that for what it is worth.
Thanks to the Mods. You get a lot of crap, but I appreciate you. When my daughter was very young she would sit next to me while I was on the computer and read posts with me. I always felt safe letting her do that with me. That father / daughter bonding time is irreplaceable.
Some of you might recall a family tragedy for me a few years ago. It was among the most difficult times of my life and this place was not only a refuge but a support group as well. I started a thread on the situation and many here rallied around me and supported me in a difficult time. ( cept' for one butt who took the opportunity to be an butt, but I have not seen that poster in a few years )
I have been on here more or less daily for a decade if I am not mistaken. We endured the Boller years together. We celebrated the mile high miracle. We celebrated our second Super Bowl together.
We all felt loss when Ray and Ed left the flock.
We mourned the loss of Tray Walker, Konrad Reuland, and the man we owe our team bing in Baltimore to Art Modell. We as a community have been through a lot together. We have been in the truest sense a community.
I truly feel loss losing this place. Not sure if those other two joints will be the same or not.
Either way, my Flock friends. Five days to go. Lets make them matter. Lets make them significant. Lets shut this place down the way we kept it alive.
With Purple Pride. Class. Dignity and a united passion for all things RAVENS.
