See ya tomorrow, Tim.

Fish on...

Todd

Is it possible that Tim's wife would log on as "SOL" and post something like this as a joke ?

I think you're great. You don't care much for me as do a few others....so? Since when are "we" so important? Get off the pity pot and try NOT doing what you don't want to.......you'll find a balance. BTW, the first sentence is true.

Tim,

Still praying for ya, lil' buddy.

Here's to 5000 more.

Have fun plunkin',
M

where ya been mooch?
I miss the joustng with tIm

.

Here's the deal folks. Look at my post count. Can you say "ISSUE?" I've officially shot my mouth off more than TheKing.

I'm done. No hidden agendas, no burning my bridge and going down in a blaze of glory. I just need to move on. I'm not the type that can participate in moderation on an infrequent basis. This site has become an electronic narcotic that draws entirely too much of my attention. This is the only way I see doing it. It was a good run. Like I said, I've met a handful of people I'll be friends with for the rest of my life and I have no regrets. As for those that don't like me, you know what I'm thinking, I don't even have to say it.

Everyone is a pro at pointing out other peoples problems and seldom take a hard look at themself, much less take the action necessary to improve. I'm trying not to be one of them. With this behind me maybe some of the other crap I'm dealing with will become more clear.

See ya on the outside.

Sol,

Be well and live long.

The friend you never met,
M

Hey Brotha,
you know I got your back and that I could not have done SolFly alone, so hang in there help me carry the torch and we will have many more fun events, and if people don't like us then they don't have to come.
and the rest of the none believers can kiss my ass !!!

Lets just have a good timed !!!

Peace
Fly

Sol:

5018 X 10 minutes each divided by 60 = 836 hours = damn near 5 weeks of solid 24 hours a day posting

Me:

1434 X 10 div 60 = 239 hours.... YIKES!

I think you may have a valid point for many of us.

I am wondering why you find it so important to let everyone know that you are done?

If you are done, be done. I don't remember signing a contract or getting a wedding ring.

The site will go on without you. I am pretty sure of that.

For fishforbrainless and thrashed, Sol is letting his FRIENDS know what's going on, he has to many on this BB to email each one. Sol has some persoal issues to deal with and the time saved from posting here will allow him to work on those issues. I commend his forthrightness to look at himself and to see what's important.

Sol, I have never met you, but you seem to be a guy that most (including myself) would enjoy fishing with. The over the top stuff you speak of, is sorta like ego's in a locker room full of jocks. It reminds me of my old basketball days when guys would horse play and talk the talk. The guy that always tell you how good he is at sex, or how he can out fight Mike Tyson if you pissed him off. I consider that as nothing more than smack talk, and most of us never take it serious. Don King made a livng at it after serving time in prison for murder. We tend to let those guy's get away with the posturing without feeling intimidated or challenged, and at times find that it's entertaning and amusing. Self proclaimed guys that are allthat, such as Theking are usually laughed at and never taken seriously on a BB because of their excesses.

This is a BB of Mostly men. Men with ego's that have been groomed and conditioned to compete with each other in all area's of the real world. Big Stick, ( or what ever his name was) got to be annoying for some, because of his ego and bragging in posts every 2 or 3 minutes over a couple of days. That amount of look at me over here pissing in the salad bowl in multiple post, is perceived as noise or static and can get on some people's nerves. Big Stick was in the hundreds of posts in a couple of days. Can you say, talk way to much; (loud mouth) thats was constantly screeming for attention? Sorta like carrying a sign around one neck that says look at me I'm number one, I know everything, I have all answers, etc. etc.. Sometimes this behavior is recieved as static and gets attentions, just like a itch does before we scratch.

I think this is an opportune time for your humility to create some balance for you. Humility is a virtue that reminds us that we are not perfect and offers the posibility of making corrections or improvements in our lives. I was once a classic type A personality that had to win in all imaginary contests involving personalities, until I learned to let go. By doing that I probably added years to my life and put off having an early heart attack. Humility provides us with that opportunity. Removing defects of character can strenthen us both spiritually, as well as physically. Humility comes with self examination or personal inventory. Non of us as individual have to know it all, nor do we have to be perfect. By accepting that we are not perfect, and don't have to know all things; it help's us to be teachable. Capable of learning new things that we can apply in our lives as needed.

It would be a shame if you chose to not participate in this forum because of personalities. This is a forum of personalites and that's what captivates our interest. The most important thing that governs us, as well as the Moderator are certain principles. Examples are; 1. Sexual content, 2. personal attacks, 3. Profanity and, 4.Blatant Dis-respect of other members. If we find ourselves being moderated in those areas, then maybe more attention should be given before clicking the send button. I consider you a giving and deserving guy. You are much more of an asset to this board than a detriment. Keep the things that work and take a good look at the things that doesn't work. By doing this you can navigate a coarse that we all get to benefit from.

Real men don't quit they just get better. If it was a basketball team I would love having you as a point guard on my team because you would keep the midgets busy while I get to do some slam dunking. "Wooop's", some of my type A came to the surface.

Hang in there bud, don't give up you are one of the good guys.

And like sands through the hour glass- These are the days of our lifes.

well if Sol is taking a break, i guess everyone will have to setup and fill the void he is leaving.

this is my contribution

OMG Sparkey, if *THATS* what we all have to look forward to,
SOL GET WELL SOON

Elvis just left the building for points west, hopefully he gets his battery recharged.

Sol,

I know I have had a couple of negative post towards you recently and I hope I wasn't a huge factor in your decision. I hope you get what you are looking for. See you on the river.

Sparkey, That was some funny [censored]. I'm crying from laughing so hard!!!

Here's one thing I never understood?

NOFISH, aren't you Sol's boss? Don't you guys work in the same small office? If so, why not just walk over to his desk or meet him at the water cooler if you've got something to say to him? Is there some appeal to communicating to each other via this forum that the rest of us aren't aware of?

IMO, that type of thing is one of the reasons why this board is being perceived as "the group's" personal chat room.

Sol, you are one in a long line of internet characters that have come and gone in the years since I've been hangin' out on these boards. Before we all know it... there'll be another to step in and take your place.

I genuinely hope that all of your personal issues have a happy conclusion.

Good luck.
