farewell

I'd like to think my leaving this board would at least alleviate your troll issues, but sadly. the troll seems to be ever expanding.

I'd like to think my leaving this board would at least alleviate your troll issues, but sadly. the troll seems to be ever expanding. I had a look last night, for nostalgia, at the thread that occurred before our first meet up at wine and roses. it was so fun! this isn't any longer. this board has meant a great deal to me, and I've made numerous friends as a result of it. I'm confident they'll remain friends, and for that I'm extremely grateful. NYC real estate is obviously a topic that fascinates me (believe me, nobody looks at as many comps as I do without being obsessed with the topic). this has been destructive for awhile, but I was loath (that fighting Irish spirit) to let the trolls win. I no longer care. any victory seems destined to be a pyrrhic one at this point. but the bottom line is that this is just no longer interesting or fun. so what have I been fighting to keep going? I'm not going off in a huff, and this may seem melodramatic, but like many others I find se more than a bit addictive. this public farewell hopefully will provide me with the incentive to stay off the board. if I don't feel free to heap abuse upon me!
