I'm banning myself from Volleytalk!

[Barefoot In Kailua]

I can't stomach my posts any longer and will refrain from posting. Honestly, I'm tired of the unpleasant individual that I've become. I think Roger should have let the Guillotine fall on "BiK" a long time ago. It shames me to think that I likely prevented people from sharing their thoughts on Volleytalk by my behavior, and for that I am sorry. Reading the sad news about the Cincinnatti assistant Coach really made me think. Life is fleeting in so many ways. I regret that I spent so much time here arguing with everybody. There is so much more to life than politics and volleyball.

I wish to apologize to the numerous people that I have insulted in the past. I also wish to thank everyone for sharing their thoughts and ideas on the board. Carry on people, I must (at least for now) take my leave.

Btw, a special thanks to my friends Gorf and (R)uffda for puting up with all of my crap.

What the?! IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END?!

I'm very sorry to see you leaving BiK, but certainly understand.

I hope you get back the desire for posting soon.

I doubt many know that we converse on a more civil level behind the scenes via IM here on VT and I do indeed consider you to be a friend.

You, myself, and others here can be insightful as well as inciteful at times, however, I don't think I've ever taken any of your "insults" as anything other than in the humorous manner in which I believe they were intended.

Your input on the various forums here on VT will be missed until you decide to return.

Be safe, be well, and be happy.

Barefoot ... I'll miss you! I took about a week off so I could actually get some work done. You were a ray of hope in some hopeless threads.

Just be back by Sept. 2nd.
