you musta hurt his feelers with that comment about his thug life avatar... he took it down...
then left this parting shot:

wonder where he's talkin about, somewhere that people can't criticize his incoherent ramblings, presumably.
another person who thinks respect is some kind of 'right' and not something that ones earns. *shrug*

As I posted on another thread, I've been "on line" for many years and many places. The typical goodbye post has several purposes but mostly to either start a flame war or as a parting shot. Unfortunately, the person who says they're leaving usually doesn't. Here is what I do with these threads; 1. Say goodbye 2. Take the bait and have some fun. 3. On rare occasions try to act as a peace maker when I think there is a legitimate misunderstanding, again this one is very rare. So, being new I don't have any opinions so all I can say adios, vio con Dios.

I believe you're looking for "vaya con Dios". or 'go with god',
while google comes up with "he was with god" for vio con dios, my half spanish half mexican friend just got a puzzled look on his face and said "autoincorrect strikes again?"

why is it so many people promise to leave, and then don't?
my motivations are to get you to post better stuff, not the crap you keep posting.
I look at being here like I view my wife's watching "Housewives of Wherever. I made fun of her for watching that show until I realized the main reason I keep coming back here is because I love drama. Oh sure, I get the occasional CPAP question answered too, but that is not why I come here, it is for the drama. I am hooked.

At least you're honest... more than I can say for a lot of folks here.
I don't watch Housewives tho, to me it's just another soap opera and I don't watch soap operas. Oh wait... that's what it is here too.

This is a great forum and what makes it so are members like Julie, Chunkyfrog, and Palerider giving so much of their time providing useful information to members looking for answers. Variety is the spice of life and I guess for me this forum is like a variety show at times which keeps me coming back, Cpap is never boring here. I enjoy the many different personalities here but mostly those who talk straight, with a good sense of humor, and of course provide correct information. Lighten up.

Scottae may be closer to the truth than one may know. To quote the online Urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vio
"VIO (the violent) is a below standard counter-strike player, often seen baiting ChuM members, frequently tries to make jokes that are extremely stupid and not funny, the only way vio gets a laugh is people laughing at his own stupidity.
Famous for stealing wheelchairs at lan events"
The rest I will not quote - it is too offensive.

checking urban dictionary didn't even cross my mind... in that vein, perhaps it should be:
¡Adios, vio con Diablo!

Then again, consider that a large family of native Canadian/Americans near Montreal is named Diabo (pronounced Dye a bo)... and I wonder if they've run into problems carrying that around for generations!

In my humble opinion this forum is not that bad. I have seen a lot more negative forums then this. I do agree here that some people im not going to name names are a bit cruel around here. I hate to see people leave but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Keep it up PR! There are way too many here giving stupid advice. They are like rats multiplying. Every time one of them sticks his head up out of their holes, you have to whack them back down into the hole.
PR is a nice asset of the forum because he seems to have the time to whack the irresponsible dumbbats.

I'm in the Guinness book as the only person every harmed by CPAP. The machine fell off the shelf above the bed and hit me. On several occasions.
