[ballaratdragons]

Goodbye.

[janoskiss]

:scared2:
Don't scare us like that, Ken!

[h0ughy]

By nice seeing you, same time next year

oh hang on your not the relos'

where are you going now?

I'm not happy with whats happened either!!

lets just get on with life and pass this anthill

[iceman]

You don't think it's an over-reaction, Ken?

I know what the rules for buy/sell are - I made them. I put them in place to protect the members of IIS from scammers.

I can also choose to waive them if I have enough information to know that the person is not trying to scam anyone. I've done it before where members have given me a reference from an existing forum member.

In this case, after chatting with the 76-year old retired astronomer from Mount Stromlow, I felt supremely confident he wasn't out to rip anyone off.

You made assumptions about what I did and why I did it, without knowledge of the background or any other information. If you choose to leave, then it's a complete over-reaction as far as I can see.

[rumples riot]

Ken I did say it was your turn this week, but I did not mean literally. Email me if you want to talk, I can give you my number via email. Not posting it here, don't know what sort of nutter I will get on the line.

[fringe_dweller]

whats this 'goodbye cruel world' stuff - i never thought you were a quitter Ken!?
I am singing this song "BD please dont go" for you now, you are a popular and much loved poster around here, it would be a crying shame! please reconsider Ken!

[ving]

[Robert_T]

Ken, I hope you're not serious :confuse2:

[Ziggy Stardust]

Tony

[RAJAH235]

Ken? Please don't leave. :sad: :D L.

[fringe_dweller]

The bending of the rules on this occasion raised my eyebrows too, but after consideration, I realised that Mike only has the best interests of IIS, and its collective members, at heart (as usual). And I think it was good one, and the umpires decision is always final, as you well know i would guess :) .

[acropolite]

Well said Kearn, and remember if there's something you don't agree with there's the "Report bad Post" button at the top of the screen. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/buttons/report.gif (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/report.php?p=83776)

[asimov]

I don't even know what happened.......But Come back Ken!!

[cahullian]

Gee Ken does that mean I'm the ugliest member left??

[33South]

C'mon Ken us over 50's have to stick together mate. :)

See if you can ignore that.



Chris.

[robin]

Ive been away from the forum for a while and aren't up to speed on whats going on here.Please, try & work out any indifference.

[mickoking]

Ken,

I don't know what happened or what the problem is? But I do know the world is full of different people with different rules and beliefs. This forum is a microcosm of the world and we are all different. We all hold certain views but me must respect those of others even if we don't agree with them.

Don't leave the forum, there will be one less person for me to disagree with :sad:

[danielsun]

Ken i really hope you can sort out what ever it was that happened as many here would agree it just wouldnt be the same without you and your good sense of humour which keeps us all sane!!

i'm sure (or certainly hope) it was just a misunderstanding.

[Orion]

I don't know what happened, I'm sorry that you feel this way.

Thanks for the laughs Ken.

[matt]

Ken....

Surely it's not so bad that you have to turn your back on the rest of us?

Dude... nothing's worth quitting the funny farm here:lol::lol:

Come on, mate. Give us a "hoy!".

[Miaplacidus]

Dear Mr Dragon,

Although I believe that I have never corresponded with you directly, I must admit to having read many of your posts with an interest that is tantamount to idolatry. I also see from the many reponses to this thread and your initial one word farewell that a similar sympathy has been excited in the breasts of a great many others. What can I say? With you gone, who will remind us that we must, indeed, "look up and drool"? Who will continue to admonish Thomas Edison for his accursed invention? Most importantly, who will assume the mantle of trenchant critic, court jester and chief trickster in the Ice In Space forums?

Sadly, the answer glares all too obviously at each of us. Sadly, the answer is nobody.

[Dennis]

Like Arnie, he'll be back....just needs some time to heal and let the angst work its way out of his system. It happens to us all, but I have come to see that a little time and some much needed space are indeed great healers, and the human spirit is resilient.

When he does return, he'll be welcomed like a brother and within a post or two; it will be just like old times. So, don’t worry, just wish him well, send him some kind thoughts and say hello when his giant shadow falls once more across the doorway to IIS.

Cheers

Dennis

[davidpretorius]

nicely put brian!

[ballaratdragons]

Thanks all. I may pop in from time to time. I will only post if I think what I have to say is worthy or can help someone.

[netwolf]

Ken. Please dont go, your input really ligtens up the place. Stars only set to rise again. Come back.

[Dennis]

Well Ken, I'd better put my money where my mouth is and say "hello IIS dragon brother", welcome and we look forward to continuing where you left off.

Cheers

Dennis

[norm]

The prodgial son will return, IIS is his calling and he will be back. He's still with us in spirit.:o

[33South]

So whats different ?

[TidaLpHasE]

:whistle:.......................... ..

[Miaplacidus]

Worthy! Helpful! Since when were these the criteria for posting on IIS???? Need I remind you, sir, that not once have I posted any response to any thread that was remotely worthy OR helpful to anyone. If it isn't trivial, flippant and inane, then I don't want to read it. Get with the program, sir, and post until those fingers bleed!

But seriously, nice to hear from you.

[rumples riot]

There is always some politics on this site and seems to upset one person or another. I should know it has happened to me. We don't need to nag Ken, if he chooses to come back he will. He has said that he will pop in from time to time to contribute. Perhaps we should leave it at that.

[ving]

welcome back Ken :)
