Done some thinking.

“I have made up my mind that I am no longer going to post on TT.I have found that there is people that do too much judging and finger pointing and I don't like this about you and things like that.

all the people that I have hiked with that GOT ALONG WITH ME I would love to still hike with and too alll those that don't like the way that I am next time you have things on your mind say it to my face.

I am not mad and I am not bitter I have been showed that it is best to be who you are and not change for people just becuase they say that there are things wrong with you or at least not to there likeings.

I am still going to go on TT trips and post trips and send out invites but there are people who I have no intrest in hiking with due to the fact that they have a beef with the way that I am and the way that I act.I am not going to change becuase someone says they don't agree with the way that I am or the things that I talk about.


I have no hate but I am going to be slective in picking who I backpack with from now on.


What I have said is like a coin you can take it at face value.

Be cool people and hang loose.I still call all the people that got along with me friends and I will always want to hike with you all.And the ones that don't like the way that I am and act FUC& OFF!!!!

“Lighten up Francis.”

“I disagree with you Mike.
I think you should still post on TT.
I way I look at it is; Why should I lose out on Crazy Mikeisms because of THOSE people?

It's pimp.”

“Oh Crazy dont leave us. They do that to me too.”

“Everyone has an opinion about everyone else. I don't see why someone else's opinion should change your life unless it's someone you really care about.”

“You have mail.”

“You'll be missed.”

“The irony of this is exquisite! Probably the most sane, well balanced, and positive poster, who is self-named "crazy", is leaving because he can no longer take it here!”

“what would we do without crazy mike? this place wouldn't be what it is today, your decision man, make it wisely.”

“I'm glad you've given the situation your consideration, I appreciate your post and I respect your decision. Your views are important and an influence. You are not alone in such considerations and we each make decisions daily. Your adventures have been intereesting. Your establishment of a hiking club is commendable.

I enjoyed meeting you and hiking with you. I would enjoy doing it again. Naturally, you can post again anytime that you feel so moved. I will be happy to see your posts.

Good luck with whatever, Mike.
Paul”

“Mike, I would like you to change your mind. Consider the source and consider that if you leave you leave alot of people that really care for you (me for one) and that the small minded not nice person that talked about you is actually making a life decision for you. You are the master of your own destiny don't let someone else take that away from you.”

“I am assuming you are looking for nice fat trout. what kind of fly do you have tied on?”

“Mike, don't leave. Tango said it best and I will echo Tango's statement above.”

“I don't want you to leave man!!!”

“Tango becuase you like Hockey just as much as I do the GOAL IS UNDER REVIEW.”

“Tango becuase you like Hockey just as much as I do the GOAL IS UNDER REVIEW.”

“who is going to direct me to the next great cigar??”

“This has made me think even more.I agree that I should not stop posting on this board becuase of what some poeple think of me.


So with that said I am not going to leave and the people that called me thank you for talking to me.

“I AGREE, DON'T STOP POSTING MIKE.

THAT WOULDN'T BE PIMP AT ALL!

:-p”

“This dude is crazy.

Not judging you man, just finger pointing.”

“WTF!?!?!? dood....mike......man, screw um dood. there are tons of peeps in here that love you. i always check your reports. i always envy the ammount of backpacking you get to do. i aonly met you briefly but i felt like we really related, like we was old friends, totally on the same wavelength. i was truely looking forward to hiking with you agian bro. hope this doesn't effect that. i mean, it'll be harder to keep up witchu if you never post.
i don't really understand what happened here. did a hike go bad er sumpthin? was it on a thread? and why let someone chase you off? i mean you don't seem like the kind of dood that would let some jerk's opinion get to you. anyways, ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE CRAZYMIKEBACKPACKS IS NO FRIEND OF MINE, i promise you that. hope you reconsider man...if not, i, and many others will miss you.”

“Good to see that trolls are still sniffing me.....

“ME AND CRAZY MIKE AFLACS, CRAZY MIKE ASSPACKS, CRAZY MIKE ASSPACKES, THE TROLL FORMERLY KNOWN AS CRAZY MIKE ASSPACKES, AND ALL THE OTHER CRAZY MIKE TROLLS WOULD MISS YOU DEARLY.

JUST THINK, PEOPLE MUST LIKE YOU IF THEY PICK ON YOU SO MUCH.

THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY.

:p”

“Tango you are such a sweetheart.


And thank you Mr.Troll.

“btw, i was looking for your number after i first read this.... to call you and #&%!$ you out, LMAO.....but i can't find it”

“well, that didn't last long, good job u crazy man! welcome back... though, i dont think you were ever gone.”

“Send me a email.

“That by far is the quickest turn around on TT ever. It was all over 90 minutes. When Oldie left it took him months to return(and he had to change his name to scabby pete), when bacpac left cause Matt deleted his porno-mag trip report thread he was gone for a quite a spell,Tarpy quit posting as himself for a looong time (though we all know he posted as others) and when Nigal bailed it was many moons before he returned (and it was about time d@mmit!). So the TT drama-rama continues....

I mustadd that Oldie did have the best " I am leaving" thread of all. He basically called TT a den of bigoted homophobes...of course most folks told him " dont let the door hit you in the @ss".”

“He shoud have got drunk and gone crazy and smashed down the door with a ax.

“please hide the ax from mike...LOL”

“Thats a good one!

No but that did happen in a movie once did it not?”

“CMB Glad your staying!”

“the shining...

I believe the quote was " heeeres Johnny".

Best horror flick ever, Creeps me to this day...”

“I'm confused! Is CrazyMike = Twinkle Toes???”

“flyguy, yes”

“Hey CMB, just got through reading all of this and I am glad to see your staying. I get a laugh out of some of your post and that is a good thing. Cya on the trail again.”

“He's cute”

“That is a great movie.


Ya thought it would be fitting.


I can't wait to hike with ya again Ewker.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm flabbergasted.

Mike must stay!
Dude you can't go!
Who will say "that kicks all forms of a$$."
Who will champion the cause of the bacon ring?
Who will post cigar reviews?
Who will post trip reports weekly?
Who will terrorize fellow TTer's with his driving skills on long a$$ crosscountry drives?

Who I ask you, who?
Only one TTer's can fullfill these important tasks.

Crazy Mike CAN!”

“yeah flyguy....kinda hairy though...”

“CMB?? WTF???? Well, it's good you're staying. I noticed you hadn't been on lately......”

“HPM You already knew he was stayin' there was NO EARTHLY reason to bring up the bacon ring thing!”

“Glad you're staying CMB...remember those nights (real early mornings 2 to 3am) where only you, Snow Nymph and me were posting to the threads here....good times.”

“Lots of good love here thank you.


We all need to hike again real soon.Me leaveing TT is like saying that I am going to give up drinking and cigars and become a sane guy!

Well that is just not going to happen.

“yeah....'sane mike backpacks' doesn't have the same ring to it......”

“LOL @ Strat!”
