So you know the right way to disappear. With notice, with contact, with archives. In doing so you were much quieter than _why's "out with a bang" tactic.

Interestingly, I won an award for poetry when I was a teenager. I assure you the poem was not "turtles and goats, turtles and goats, turtles and goats are filling up boats."

Why was gifted, but like all gifted children he was also lazy and went straight for the payoff by tossing out any old random crap he knew would get the reaction he wanted. Mixed in with his genuine contributions, these annoying one-offs have been promoted to the same level as everything else. That annoys me, as does people pretending they're the same.

And I didn't insult the OP, or didn't mean to anyway. Geeze - why do you think that criticising something someone did is the same thing as criticising that person? It's not. I have nothing against the OP. I have nothing against _why. I have nothing against you! Yes, the OP did something silly, IMO. _why too. And you've said some dumb things, to me. But we're all on the same side in the final reckoning. Let's not blow it out of proportion.

_why wasn't writing a poem. He was having a bit of fun on Twitter, and this dude liked it. I doubt _why thought much about what people would think about what he tweeted before he tweeted it.

Let's call it a day and go do non-flaming stuff for a while. I disagree with your perspective on _why, but that's alright, I don't think he cares much about this debate either way.

/me calls it a day

You know, my friend, I believe that face to face we would have a lot less differences.

Absolutely! That's why I try to avoid lots of fighting online. It's way too easy to take things personally.
