Hi, and thanks for your well wishes. No it isn't bad news... I guess. Well sort of, then again no.
Hahaha. The problem is that I've been put on some sort of rollercoaster which is enjoyable at times and terrifying at times... but at all times I am pretty damn busy trying to stay on the rollercoaster.
Eventually (my guess is by late summer to mid fall) the ride will have ended. Then I can devote more time to proper debate. And that is the key. I just do not have specified nor consistent time for good debate right now. I suppose I may drop by for very quick questions (mainly to the physicists) or comments on recent events I think people might find interesting at EvC... like today.
If/when I do return, I want to do so in the POTM award winning style I started with. So that'll suck for some, as it means longer posts where I have room to flesh out my position and arguments.
To moose, I didn't take any offense. I'm just sad to hear I haven't been living up to my original standards. I hope when I get back, I'll do so.... or maybe buz is right and it is the fact that I've taken a bit more time challenging "our" side which has set an unusual tone for my posts. Someone accused my of being a gadfly once, and that may be true to some extent.
To perc/admin... keep or close the thread. I don't take offense from it, though I do note its rare nature. It is useful for feedback from genuinely concerned readers (like moose)... who I really do take their criticisms seriously... and laughter at the rather sad posters coming to shoot me down with flimsy arrows pulled from their warped and wilted quivers.
