I've been doing some thinking...leaving TT

“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 BUZZ OFF!!!!

Also, after I posted then everyone will beg me to stay and not to leave TT and not to let others affect what I do. You guys are all just being way to nice and not saying what you really think. I can see through all of this and know that you really do want me to leave and not post on here anymore. So, that's just what I am going to do. Not Post. The People that I have a beef with: Thanks for being honest about your feelings. I understand that I am loud and crazy, I just want to complain on Trail Talk so that I can get some sympathy and have folks tell me how awesome I am and for me not to leave. Then they will build up my ego and make me feel good about myself by sugar coating what they are really thinking so that I will stay. Thanks for all the support

“Bugger off fool!”

“Good bye Crazy Mike (Or is it Nigal?). It's your decision and I respect that.

I for one will miss you.

Good Luck and many Happy Trails to you.”

“its all nice and good that you post this message...but I think its a waste of effort to do so. Your contributions to this site are welcome...if there are problems with hiking with certain people on the site, then just choose not too. There are those that have a problem with hiking with my dog...I just make sure who is going and if its not going to be pleasant...then I don't go...simple...but I still post here. and you should too.

Not everything that glitters is gold. and not everyone is a friend...so stop whinin and forget it...it ain't that important.”

“I'm assuming this is Crazy Mike based on the symbol 8) and the fact that Mike doesn't post much anymore.”

“I think Nigal used to use that too.”

“Don't leave. You're awesome!”

The problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

“stikmon, you are right. I shouldn't let other stop me from posting on TT. Ok, I will stay then. Thanks for convincing me everyone to stay.”

“That's about the weakest amount of arm twisting I have ever seen. Either Mike is now a troll, which itself is funny, or someone copied him pretty good. I vote troll.

Change your name to Mike the Troll.”

“And we almost made it a day without a "I'm leaving TT" thread...”

“That's it, I'm leaving again! You guys are not pimp anymore.

“Just my opinion here, but I think it's pretty obvious this isn't Mike at all- The first paragraph was a cut and paste from Mike's original post on the matter- The second was way too sarcastic. If Mike was going to post this, why the hell would he post it under a different name? I've never met the guy, but of all the posts of his I've read since I've been here, this sounds nothing like Crazy Mike at all.”

“sigh.... I hate to do this to ya buddy, but yer bringing it on yerself. (Sitting down on Crazy mike with ALL my IMMENSE BULK! to prevent him from leaving)

When you are rational and have had enough of being squashed like a grape, then I"ll get up, dust you off, and give you hug.

LOL

I bet you will think twice before you try to leave me again!!
Say my name, big boy! :-D”

“Its not me and I have not left I just don't post that much anymore.


So eat shi! troll!

“Smile CMB!

Get the heck out DST!”

“I am all smiles!!!!!!!!!


8)”

“Get 'em, Pimp!
Why the hell anyone would want to troll you is beyond me.”

“How have your recent trips gone Mike. We have not talked in awhile. I have not hiked in a while. Work has been too busy. All changed today though, fiscal year end has wrapped, time to get to hiking again! I will probably see you on a mid to late July trip. Can't wait for the Pictured Rocks trip.”

“And to think you almost had Danababy sittin' on ya.....”

“No doubt CN!!!!


Hey WK whats up dude?????Itrs all good I have been backpacking like crazy!!!!Call me when you get a chance!

8)”

“After finding out that a female will pin you down if you threaten to leave, let me just say goodbye, I'm leaving and never coming back!”

“I know it sounds fun!


8)”

“Jeez danababy, you'll have the entire male part of the board leaving if you keep that up!”

“Just now reading this thread.
This is a very unfunny pathetic piece of crap troll.
CMB is too smart to have written the first post.”

“its also too well spelled”

“Trolls can't drink scotch!”

“They do not like cigars either”

“I think it's a twoll.

A twoll with a speech impediment.”

“Yeah yeah right. The idea of the "mighty flea" making anyone do her will with her massive size is very convincing. hee hee hee......

I can dream that I'm a big gorilla though! ;-)”

“I'd leave, but you guys never miss me when I'm gone and where's the fun in that?
'll just stick around and be a fly in the ointment. (Ewww, thats a gross analogy.)”

“Nice parody, but ya can't top the OG baby!”

“some people have WAY too much time on their hands....”

“"Good bye Crazy Mike (Or is it Nigal?). It's your decision and I respect that."

Not me Chief. I have no problems making my feelings known.”

“sit on me...I'll leave, I promise!

(Dear God...please let this happen, o please o please o pleeeeeeeeeeeese let it happen)”

“Man, for a second I thought Psycho Mike-o was off his meds again...”

“No, I thought you used to use the

8) sometimes. That's all.

[:)”

“I hate smiley faces and other emoticons. Never use 'em myself.






















8P”

“No but I need to take them!!!!

“LOL @ Chili. Good song pick.”

“Be careful what you wish for. LOL You are mighty purty. I've seent you in them pitchers. Playing in the water is my favorite. I find water and Stikmon a winning combination! woo hoo!!”

“SOoooooo, just whose leaving? Don't perk my hopes up...”

“I am going to have to go to another web page or something. I am married, live with, work with and hike with the hubby. I think maybe it is to much time. He was on this site before I was so he can claim it. I will find another one. I really enjoyed you all and maybe I see you on the trail. farewell my TT friends!!!”

“Dang chili, she's alread tired of you. If you'd trade in that Orange I'll bet she changes her tune! cottonsocks, the new evil genius.”

“Good Gawd Cottonsocks, you're one of the more refreshing people to come to this site in recent times. Don't go off and leave us!”

“Seriously though, it's completely understandable to want/need your own space.”

“thank dayhiker for understanding!”

“The colon health board looks interesting.”

“It's not that I don't understand. I'll miss you is all. If you're really leaving, it's been fun. Hope to hike with you and Chili one of these days.”

“Stick a sox in it VioLiN!!”
