Post or don''t post. Your presence or absence is your choice. "Liberals" didn't do *it* to you, ok?

I had to check when I took my break from TFP, and it was on 11/06. You know if I didn't predict the democrats would take the house ahead of time I'd put more significance on it, and looking back to check I saw you left a typical smarmy one liner, 2 posts after a mod said exactly not to do that, but that doesn't matter really.
Funny thing about that was tfp at the time was getting boring for me, and I'm sure I didn't want to deal with gloating from communists and their dependents, but there was something more important at the time.
It was the start of the BoB ASCN war in EvE, which took up so much of my posting and free time. The fallout of the war still rages today but I got bored of it, and quit playing, pretty much right about the time I started posting again.
But to claim it was just 11/06 that did it is only partially true. Perhaps you can come up with a list of those who quite after 11/06?
