Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

When somebody posts an "I'm never coming back" post. Do you wonder if they lurk to see what other folks are saying about them? Otherwise what could possibly be the point?

Some people cannot stand it when they don't get the last word. This kind of post is the internet equivalent of the parting shot that some go for when fired, or tossed out of a club.

I wonder if that character trait ties in with whatever got them banned in the first place.

I have been reading and participating in internet forums for maybe 25 years now and I have left some and I've always made it a policy of just leaving without feeling the need to post a "goodbye cruel message board" parting shot. Life is too short, so I just leave.

If I get tired of them, or they piss me off, I just leave. I'm usually such a wallflower, most people wouldn't notice if I was around or not anyways.

Announcing that you're above making a GBCW post when it's time, is almost as bad.

Yeah and how about Miguel Indurain doping. The dude used to beat others in the TT by 2 min or more in the TdF in the early 1990's. I was just watching a video of him passing Lance Armstrong in the 1994 TdF like he was road furniture. No doping going on there. Oh no!
