Taking a break for a while... - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I have noticed with increasing regularity that my mere participation in a thread seems to draw out the worst in some posters. I don't think that is conducive to the atmosphere this board is trying to build. I don't see the venom as frequently when other "liberals" post, so I can only assume I have deeply offended some and they are reacting to that offense. For any offense, I apologize, though I assure you (in most cases

) the offense was unintentional.

I will take a bit of a break and hope that my absence can allow the atmosphere here to improve.

Best to you all.

Don't leave....

I enjoy the insight and different point of view you are able to interject here.

I think you should spend your time away contemplating about why you are against Jesus Christ and then come back here with the right answers

A sad, sad day for CG. Driving away someone as articulate and thoughtful as hoya in this environment is a damn shame. Sigh....

Come back soon, man.

lol...let's not over-react or anything now.

The dude isn't Jesus Christ, but thinks he knows more than him.

Hope to see you back soon Hoya. There are stem cells and the Middle East to discuss.

Yet another cheap shot.

Interesting debater, intelligent and a shame he took a brake, but I would not describe him as thoughtful.

You're at least here as a vestigal liberal.

LOL. If I am considered to be the one carrying the flag for the liberals then the puritans have won and the witch hunt can be called off. The coast is clear.
