That's what I was going to say.

It's obvious he wants everyone to leave:

1. He repeatedly tells everyone remaining to go to CUF. He even sends a few of the die-hards private messages telling them to go.

2. He warns that anyone remaining will suffer, and that we ought not expect CG to remain CG.

3. At a time when he has many ten people posting, he disappears, refusing to foster activity on his own board, making it that much more likely that CG will slowly fall into inactivity.


I think he knows this is no time to take a hiatus, but that's why he's doing so. He doesn't want anybody sticking around for his sake.

Nope, I don't have anything against those who are over there of course. I personally am not going to head to another board, I am on three and that is plenty.

I also don't know the whole reason for the split, but if it is to form a group of those who find themselves intellectually stimulating, I wouldn't fit anyway.

No, nothing like that. But the goal was not to form a new group. The goal was to liberate this one. Free CG from a brutal regime, so to speak.

Though if you waste too much time on boards already, this is great news for you, as this one should slow down considerably.

Oh, well I will just follow what happens then.

I am pleased to see people moving on.

The faster people move on, the more free I am to speak.

I really don't know what more I can do to make sure that CUF has every advantage that it seeks (and has taken). The question is after 'killing' CG, are they so pathetic as to want to sit around like vultures and pick our bones as well?

I've been polite to this point. THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD LEAVE NEED TO LEAVE. You know who you are. I don't know who you are.

I don't know who should stay. I am not that smart. But I think there are likely people that should stay.

Let a righteous wind blow you to your destination, as it were.

In the end there will be a small group of us that will have a task unlike the others. Not a better task. Just a different task. I see the flower bud, but I do not yet see the flower.

The task will be grounded and real, I assure you.

See, for those that would potentially be interested in sticking around, you're doing nothing to encourage them/us. And I don't think very many of them "know who they are". Patriarchal blessings don't typically identify the internet message board chosen ones.

If you want no one here besides Arch, RHG, Farrah, Danimal, Marsupial and BG, just say so and the rest will undoubtedly move on.

I just can't quit you.

Winds always blow, whether you recognize them or not. On a message board, in your family, at church, in your work, in your relationships, and probably most obviously, in the rustle of the leaves.

If I had my "choice" of people, it would probably be different than what is going to happen. Julius probably would have enjoyed Brutus as his tennis doubles partner. It didn't work out, if you know what I mean.

Are you waiting for a piece of paper to tell you to be inspired?

I think you misread Mike, but I'm not certain. There are a number who have made their decision to move on, who have no desire to be involved with anything of Mike's. Yet they still come back to see what Mike's up to, or to give him a hard time. These are the ones he's suggesting need to just stay put at CUF. And these are the ones who know that.

I have no idea what Mike has planned. I don't even know if I'm interpreting him correctly. But that would be my guess.
