RouxB:
That makes me very sad...
I know that things have changed-in part because,at least for me, the initial excitement has toned down a bit. So, I can sorta see your point but I really appreciate your perspective and have no issue if it's different from mine. I'll miss seeing your name.
So, if we can't convince you to stay, happy trails Cowboy.
Meryl:
I'm sorry to see you go, Surf. I was really looking forward to meeting you. But best of luck, thanks for letting us know, and I hope you'll still come by to visit from time to time. You'll always be a part of this group. :-*
Ellemeno:
First off I want to tell everyone that Surfie and I have the distinction of having gone up in the ferris wheel together on the Santa Monica (California) Pier, not just once, but twice. We did this the day after we and the other five Seven Pilgrims of the Aero made the pilgrimage to Ang(less)Fest.
There had been a snowstorm in the Northeast US and Ang Lee couldn't get out to be there - but Surfie could and did. He crawled his way out to be there. Surfie is an ardent and devoted Brokie, as many of you know. That said...
Dear Surfie, you have been so cranky lately, and not shy about expressing it. If we are all a family, and I'm growing in this belief, then it takes all kinds. Surfie, you bring your Surf-ful gifts to the group and it really won't be the same here if you decide to go.
And I think we're good for you too. I've watched the last few weeks as you have written more and less hostile things to people, and I have seen you get various kinds of feedback on your behavior. I was thinking you were learning to temper yourself and accept people's differences of opinion.
Honestly, Kevin, you have pissed me off several times, but who in my family hasn't?
Love,
Clarissa
Chanterais:
Goodbye Surf. I've always loved hearing your thoughts here and on the original Chez Tremblay (and on TOB before that). I think it's really too bad that original and unconventional voices like yours have been shut down by some of the other posters. Believe me when I say that you're not the only one who feel alienated by it.
Our community here is supportive and loving in many ways, but in the last month or so, it's also delevoped a self-censoring quality that strangles debate. I find it depressingly/amusingly ironic, considering that Brokeback Mountain itself is an emblem of tolerance and openness. Healthy, vigorous, interested discourse is a wonderful thing; condemnation and personal attacks are pixelated tire irons. I know who wields them, and I don't like it.
But go well on your journey, Surf. Step lightly, pack lots of beans, some elk jerky, and a few bottles of whiskey to keep you warm. But don't take no soup. Them soup boxes is hard to pack.
We'll miss you.
