To kill a mocking turd

Death to Strawberryviagra...

After many years here I have managed to reach the zenith of bad posting, and have repeatedly created train wrecks that inspire bad behaviour. I realise now that I haven't managed to build the necessary rapport within the community (or writing abilities) to properly communicate with you all.

For those I have had banter with, I thank you for your help, chatter and good humour. For those I have had terrible disagreements, go fuck yourselves. For the mods, I maintain a healthy respect for what you do here and what you must put up with. I would like to apologise to Matt for being an arse a couple of years ago, and I'd like to say thank you for providing a great corner of the internet.

I don't have the time to spend to make this a worthwhile experience, and SV has some bad equity associated, so it must be killed. By the time you read this, the red button would have been pushed.

Now - it wouldn't be right to sacrifice oneself without a flameout, so here goes...

To the self proclaimed community police; the hordes of immediate 'first' commenters, the swarming anal retentive blow flies, that pick the shit out of posts within seconds - your petty policing and points of order do nothing constructive except big note yourselves in your dreams of being made part time metafilter moderators. Try the flag buttons occassionally, you may just get the same depth charged results you wish for (although without the published glory and derails - I'm sure the incentive may not be enough).

And the mercy seat is waiting; And I think my head is burning; And in a way I'm yearning; To be done with all this measuring of truth; An eye for an eye; A tooth for a tooth; And anyway I told the truth; And I'm not afraid to die.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Good to know.

Wait. Who the fuck are you again?

This is in bad form. You should have Mefimailed a mod.

Um, I'm sorry to see you go. Or else good riddance. Whichever you'd prefer.

too much Nick Cave isn't even vaguely close to being nearly enough

These things are kind of pointless when you close your account right after posting, so I'm gonna go ahead and close this up.
