FabSwingers.com forum: this is goodbye

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

to those we have met, thank you for being lovely people.

to those we have spoken to and enjoyed a laugh and a giggle, again, thank you for being you.

for those that revel in making others feel uncomfortable, or question their own attraction, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your underwear.

we are out.

PEACE!!

They were regular forum posters and had been to socials and were known by many other regulars. It's much quicker to post one thread than to individually message all those they had met.

It doesn't make sense to me when someone posts a goodbye thread if they had never been on the forums before.

I really liked their posts and wish them both all the best.

Agreed meant to be adults no idea as to the reasons anyone leaves but if just case of getting bit of grief etc on here it goes with territory and sure we all had some from time to time.

But to say folk are forced out without full facts is rather silly.

I dont give a fig about the attention seekers who come on and announce they are leaving after being on for 2mins, posted not having many meets etc. But this was a genuine couple who were on the scene (hope they still are and have only left the site). So good luck to them. Now does anyone know how to cure flea bites?

I think some folk on here need a reality check instead of saying theyvwere forced out or its indicative of way this sites going.

Folk leave and join the site all the time just accept it if the o p felt aggrieved with individuals then systems are in place like blocking and reporting perhaps it was case of chucking toys out of pram etc.

Fact only the o p knows why they left so we all making assumptions.

I must admit that thought crossed my mind, even I felt they could be a little blunt!

I'll miss them. I didn't always agree but they were a couple never afraid to say what they thought and they never felt the need to court popularity. Both of which are admirable traits

But no-one is forced to leave voluntarily....

As for the insinuation that so called " Bad people" are the responsible cohorts in whether another person stay's or leaves.....

Well all I can say is anyone who is overly sensitive or precious about themselves or opinions is probably not best suited to using internet based contact sites....

Everybody has a right to put a thread up but to insinuate that you have to be a regular poster to put a leaving one is just so anal! Its comments like this just ad fuel to the clique fire that sometimes burns. Is not like you have one idea who or who doesn't read the forums it just shows how small minded people can be at times.

The insecure men do it I have noticed hoping they might get more of a chance too. The women who do it well thy are just trying too hard to be cleaver there is no need and just come across as uptight and unpleasant. In reality it takes far less effort to move on and not post on a leaving thread. I think so many small minded people just don't realise a lot read but don't post.

Would you kindly point out where I had insinuated that you had to be a regular poster to post a leaving thread? I will take your point that a member may be known to others that read or post on the forums and may wish to communicate via the forums - I personally find it very strange to find no previous posts when using the green arrow facility from someone who says they're leaving (and to find several days or weeks later that their profile has not been deleted, they've continued to log on, uploaded new pictures, etc).

Its sad when people leave its sadder when others revel in it and the really sad ones are the disrespectful ones who think they are cleaver posting unpleasant comments.

Everyone has a right to post a leaving thread no matter who they are and those who think otherwise well they are not worth bothering about.

Crikey, some people on here really need to get a grip. They started a leaving thread and they've gone. What on earth is wrong with that?

I did a leaving thread last summer and left before the first person and a chance to post. Had I spent time messaging everyone individually no doubt someone would have tried to talk me out of it but I'd made my decision and just wanted to go BUT I also wanted to thank everyone who had welcomed and bantered with me in the Forums. Heaven forbid anyone should show anyone any gratitude in this place before they leave!!

I'm glad to say I didn't have any of these negative bitchy comments on my thread so for that I'm extremely grateful.

Strange, small minded its all the same if you lack the comprehension that people know each other, communicate or read the forums. The fact is everyone has a right to put a thread up and if you cannot understand what you have insinuated then thats even sadder.

"Crikey, some people on here really need to get a grip. They started a leaving thread and they've gone. What on earth is wrong with that?

I'm glad to say I didn't have any of these negative bitchy comments on my thread so for that I'm extremely grateful."

People leave they come back there is nothing in the rules about not having a leaving thread so its up to the individual to post or not its good to see you thought you didn't get any snipes its the way it should be.

exactly. People start thread about anything and everything so I really don't see the problem with this one. My thread was full of nice comments - someone was texting me that night to tell me

plus I read it on my return. Sad I know but I had a week to pass the time before I could post again

"Why do people feel the need to say they are going instead of just going? Drama...............!!

They were regular forum posters and had been to socials and were known by many other regulars. It's much quicker to post one thread than to individually message all those they had met.

It doesn't make sense to me when someone posts a goodbye thread if they had never been on the forums before.

I really liked their posts and wish them both all the best.

I did just say 'I will take your point that a member may be known to others that read or post on the forums and may wish to communicate via the forums' so unsure for the comments about being small minded. I will try to make my point clearer for those who are struggling...

I agree anyone can post a thread-I haven't said anywhere they can't.

My initial point was to the person who had said that they were wanting to post this thread just to create drama. My suggestion was that they created this as it was easier for them to post one thread as they posted regularly and it would save them time messaging all their friends individually.

You very eloquently explained that a leaving thread may be created by someone who hadn't previously posted on the forums because they read them and have messaged people that do so it makes sense for them to say goodbye on the forums which is a situation I hadn't considered before.

I still do not see where I have said that people are not allowed to post leaving threads! I am sure there are people who do it in the hope that someone will say please don't go which makes me feel sorry for them as they feel they have to threaten others with leaving in order to gain the attention they desire.

If you wish to explain to me how you have been led to perceive my post in the way you describe then maybe I can either agree, disagree or correct you or myself.

All I wanted to do was explain to the person who had said that the OP wanted to create drama why they created the thread in the first place!

If you insinuate it don't make any seance then you are indicating as you see it they shouldn't do it as nobody would say you should do something they don't think makes sense. So it really comes across as though it only makes sense for regulars to put up leaving threads. But you know that already or it only makes sense to us you know it already from reading your comments.

No I would just delete my profile and go which is what I have done in the past,but if I wanted to say goodbye I wouldn't say it to a part of the site I hadn't used such as the chat rooms because I expect people would think who the hell is that and not really give a monkeys

That's fine if its your choice but who is to say who knows who or doesn't and who just reads. To assume someone isn't known is small world mentality as unless you know the individual you don't know. It would be like me assuming your comment was just put up up back up another forum regular.

People leave some put up threads others don't though to question the sensibility of someone who puts one up who doesn't post regularly can quite easily be seen as divisive and a comment like that adds nothing to a thread in my _iew.

Should people always have to put positive comments? Well no but if you don't it can look a little petty but if its within the rules fine.

However who people ridicule and get snidey as has happened on so many single male leaving threads over the years then I can see how many are heartily sickened of the sly digs and have commented on this thread.

I guess the boring but accurate "if you can't say anything nice didn't say anything at all" remark is appropriate but not necessarily the rule.

Actually I don't but I would say you are prone to rash thought out assumptions. Do I think its introverted assuming only regular posters should put up leaving threads? Well yes it is but some people are small minded an live in small bubbles.

Its not introverted though brining sense in any measure into if a thread should go up or not is a bit of a joke reading the forums on here.

Actually there was no need for remarks like that both of you have a point I would add though how you can ever try and bring seance into if a thread should be put up is at best amusing.

Ok I see what you're saying. I think you are saying that just because they didn't ever post before, they might have had friends that read the forums and therefore a goodbye post would make sense as their friends would read it. Is this what you mean?

This was the original comment- "It doesn't make sense to me when someone posts a goodbye thread if they had never been on the forums before." I read that as saying if someone had never been posting on the forums, no-one on the forums will know who they are as they have never posted- which is a fair point. So why post a goodbye if no-one knows them...?

She wasn't saying (in the original comment) that people shouldn't post- it was more a question of why they would post... which I think I've just answered above.

I so knew the "clique" accusation would eventually rear its head... just wondered who would make it....

the fact they were on the forums so much and went to socials meant that people here were going to know them more then other people who just "drive by" in and "drive by" out

they said they were leaving... they went... simple as...

if they come back they come back.... if they don't they don't...

didn't agree with everything they said, but respected their opinions....

they were on my "would meet for a beer" list.... good luck whatever they do
