about elcid89

With all of the complaining that goes on here (some of you honestly seem incapable of doing anything else BUT complaining ...), GoLo has become depressing.

With the general trend towards the banal and inane, GoLo has become a waste of my time. 

What is it about this place, which has so much promise of bringing people together to discuss ideas and learn from one another, that it brings out the worst in people instead?

You'll forgive me if I take my leave of it.

Elcid, I will miss your voice of reason around here. Wishing you and the Dr. Mrs. both a very happy retirement...you've surely earned it. Take care and enjoy Belgium.

Elcid - NOoooooooooooooooooooooo

Who will I gross out with Queen Elizabeth humor if you leave ?

(((sobbing)))

What do ya mean, "i'm outta here." You can't leave. We need you : )

we're not having it Elcid - who can I turn to with a rational thought around here now???

What happened? Where did you go? Why did you go? When are you coming back? WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!

you'll be missed

Wow, I was just getting back with you to see what you thought of the DC Heller case decision - but you are not here??? Best of luck in the future - hope to see you post again whenever you are ready. Godspeed.

G'mornin Elcid TGIF!

It's a shame you left before the groups got started. It's been a nice way to steer clear of some of the less desirable sections of golo.

sure do miss you around here

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/2558233/

wow I am just seeing this blog for the first time! Sheesh.

Hope your doing well.

Just saying bye, shuge... {{{ hug }}}

Take care.

We miss you, ElCid - there's nobody else who can consistently put together a cohesive paragraph! (Or very few, anyway.)

When you get to a resting spot, send us a note!

Miss you! And - I wish you a wonderful holiday season!

...you come back

I really miss your comments! They were so consice and very well thought out.

reading my old blog today brought back memories on how you helped me with the problem I had on the apt manager. I sure do miss your comments on here as well. If you are around I think Angela is getting stricter so maybe you'll try us again. We all weren't that ad but it has gotten pathetic on here. But angela is trying..........

Come back!! I misses you!

Good to see ya around. Hope you stay. I think you could add a little something around here. ;)

Is that your new place of residence?

I am excited that you are posting to us. That looks like a beautiful place to stay. I know that you and the lovely wife must be very happy. I hope her hand recovered from the cut???

But surely you have a little free time to come and play with us??? Steve Crisp rules the forums... there is no one else to keep him in line. Yep...Steve is ruling...;D

Welcome back. I feel younger already. How's "retirement" treating you?

Hi again, welcome back, even if it's only for a brief time.

Welcome back! You were missed : )

Hope you come back to stay.

Are you that bored? nice to see ya

I am so happy to see you back, no matter how brief your visit will be!

Welcome back!

needed and respected"

I agree.

Is that your house??? OMG! That's beautiful!

Beth

Good Morning,I have no idea why you left and sorry that things are not getting any better.What ever the rason was for your leaving just put it behind you and come on back and join us.Respect is what some people don't know how to show.Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

So happy to see you! ! ! How are you doing? ? ?

speak, friend, and enter.

"No, but I expect to soon."

I think we needed to put a "LOL" in there somwhere....

"Taxes are the price we pay for [living in a civilized society]" Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

I wish you would think about starting a golo group. It would not take much time. The groups provide a group email ability so that you could notify people when you would be posting.

I hate that your favorite debaters were not here to greet you and give you a real debate. Steve is bringing up a collectibles website - he is in all hands on deck mode with that.

There are some new members that I think you might find very worthy.

If you truly enjoy paying taxes for the greater good, then you owe us the power of your intellect, too. It is just as valuable as your money - IMHO

Elcid, OMG, I am SOOOO glad to see you back on here. I have missed your wisdom! Welcome back! You've been sorely missed! Kim

There are some new members that I think you might find very worthy."

I'm assuming that this Equality person would not fall into that category? The tactics seem eerily familiar.

I have given up trying to figure out who is who, or who might also be who.

I thought Morsdeus might interest you, as well as Gucci Little Piggy. They both strike me as intelligent people. Sandra Carrington Smith is a delightful new member. She was born in Italy, came to America and is having two books published next year. She has a unique world view - tho she does not argue politics or religion. Kestrel and Tawny are interesting. Danriver recently went to Denmark - I am hoping that he may pop in again. You might enjoy Slick Rick. Oldschool still shows up. He started his own business and is very busy - but he is around. You remember Smorgas of Borg and his wife Sheba- also still present.

Whooooooooooo Hooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

WELCOME BACK!!! Your words of wisdom have been sorely missed......at least by me!

And I forgot to say that your posts were one of the main reasons I joined Golo! Please stay!

Hi Elcid. I wanted to stop by and say it's nice to see you back on golo. Please enjoy the stay. ;)

the negative here is always going to drown out the good. I find that sad."

I think the "good" is actually more wide spread than the negative, it is just harder to see. On the other hand, I also believe in the Tooth Fairy...;D

Frankly, I'm somewhat flattered by the fact that this Equality person, someone called Tyrhone and Tmedlin seemingly have nothing better to do than discussing me for hours on end.

We'll see what happens. I'm finding that the same problems that existed before haven't gone anywhere, and Angela doesn't seem very motivated to do anything about them.

Sadly, she's still trying to walk the same fence that I previously warned her wasn't possible. Until she does decide to take positive action, which I admit I do not believe she will do, the negative here is always going to drown out the good. I find that sad. elcid89

Couldn't agree more. I took a break for several months and people were still talking about me. I don't find it flattering and after numerous emails to Angie, nothing. I'd imagine at some point she tires of the complaining. But let it be a race issue and *poof*. Welcome back, even if only for a short while!

Good to see you back!!

Hello elcid: Please use the report abuse button to call attention to comments that do not meet our guidelines. That is the preferred method. And remember, if there is a back story involved, it will not come into play as I do not get involved with personal feuds among members that aren't obvious to me in the comments. I cannot work on interpretations of inneundo. Thanks. -Angela -Angela

ElCid welcome back. You make some of the most informative posts and I hope you stick around. Don't let the deadenders get to you.

You add so much to golo. It is like the difference between color photos and black and white. The world of ideas comes alive when you step into a blog.

yeah, i think her agenda is quite apparent...she is not interested in actually seeing anything positive in the white house right now. she's only interested in retaliating for the heat that bush received over the last 8 years. i'm glad i could keep you amused though.

oh yeah, welcome back!

"it's easy to be against things. It's fun, but eventually you have to be FOR something as well."

those are definitely words of wisdom. sometimes people (especially those) tend to only be FOR railing out against things they don't like.
