Arrivederci ET | 84 comments (84 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

thanks for the lovefest, all that opened their hearts to me in this thread.

i am very sentimental, and you know who you are.

i shall delete this diary tomorrow morning, so any more weirdness or happiness anyone wants to share, get on it!

i didn't come here just to be loved, but to study humanity and its evolution through this new medium.

i've learned what i came to learn.

i'll close with a lovely quote i found today from one of my heroes, einstein.

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

my leaving will do its part, addio!

Re: Arrivederci ET (4.00 / 2)

I think that if we're going to make a general policy change that prevents people from deleting diaries then we need to discuss it properly on the site first.

I wouldn't be especially sad to see this diary - which seems likely more to increase than decrease tension on the site - deleted. I don't know what it was intended to do.

Over my dead ET account will melo be allowed to sow discord and erase the evidence.

Re: Arrivederci ET (none / 1)

Well, I'm not certain that was actually the intent, though it may be the effect. I'd suggest saving a copy of the "evidence": I have.

Re: Arrivederci ET (none / 1)

You're a scrambling lieutenant™. What credibility would you have bringing the evidence out?

Re: Arrivederci ET (4.00 / 2)

A little more compassion would be useful here, Migu. Melo might be in a bad place now, to judge from his uncharacteristic and bitter comments.

This is a friendly comment, please don't over-react ;-)

Re: Arrivederci ET (none / 1)

I think melo is exactly where he wants to be.

Re: Arrivederci ET (4.00 / 3)

Possibly, but that's no excuse for abusing his demons through us, and especially through Migeru.

If he needs a break he should take it, without spitting in our faces as he leaves. He's more than welcome to return when he gets whatever bile is in his system out, as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Arrivederci ET (4.00 / 5)

Of course - I'm just concerned that it is more serious than bile, that's all.

Melo (4.00 / 4)

To delete this diary would not be an act of healing, and would be against everything that you have argued for. Please don't.

Re: Melo (none / 1)

nothing i have written at ET is so lapidary as to need archiving, lol.

looks like i don't have the groovy powers to do it anyway.

when do i come up before the courts?

should i be gathering evidence too?

oh that's right, i bailed...

better watch out for the bounty hunters.
