I know you guys are going to be sad but it is time to leave again for a while. I have been spending too much time here again and it has been affecting my life in negative ways. I need to reassess my priorities. With football and the busy season coming at work, this board just isn't very important to my life. I won't change anyone's mind left or right even if I did post something thought out and relevant so I am really just wasting time-yours and mine. I will probably still post on the NIU site for f-ball and b-ball though. Good luck to all of you guys hope everyone stays well. With that, I have one more thing to say- Go Bernie!

Life as a Walmart greeter must be a tough life. jk Robert. Maybe Marshall can put another beating on NIU and we'll have something to talk about.

come on man, its all in fun until someone loses an eye

Do what you gotta do. Take care, Robs.

I really don't know why this thread needed to be posted. Especially considering it wasn't that long ago when he admitted he only posted here to troll other posters. I guaran-dam-tee you that when he comes back, it will be to troll other posters. Then we'll get another sob story like the one above.

I'm not shedding any tears seeing him leave.

This weekend I considered leaving but I have decided instead to just be more agreeable.

Can Trolls be agreeable? Hmmm

Um, with yourself?

Do you people actually take Internet message boards seriously? Like you actually care what some anonymous goober 4 states over thinks about your political beliefs?

So, using your logic, I shouldn't give two sh*ts what you (and RobertN the troll) have to say? Which leads me to ask...if that's true why do you post here at all?

CSNBBS is not to blame that you are on food stamps and section 8.

I think there is a way to disagree or offer an alternative point of view without being a "troll". I'll admit that I can do a better job of doing that. I will in the future.

I mean on a personal level. Getting different perspectives is good, but taking internet disagreements personally doesn't compute to me.

it's a behavioral issue....(and I'm going to skip many steps in the subsequent processing for simplification and entertainment purposes)

some want to discuss issues rationally...

some just troll...

all of some have a somewhat virginal playground....

some that believe they are rational can behave irrationally....

some that are irrational exhibit flashes of truth....

hence, 'some' only means what it implies......that is where the internet equals false to provide absolution of one's belief.....

disclaimer: an atheist has to sometimes give a jab or two

having said that bs, some can't put it down.....its the E version of the nat'l enquirer...we are simple curious creatures.....

A couple of thoughts.

1. Who gives a f##k
2. What kind of narcissist thinks that anyone gives a f##k
3. "spending too much time here", don't you have a life
4. "affecting my life in negative ways" , that's just pathetic

that's interesting....we mostly agree on points except the atheist thingy....

I'll say okay to that frowny face....

I'm assuming you weren't specifying me being a troll.....maybe I'm assuming too much....
