I don't quite understand why CD suddenly decided to leave the forum, and to issue one of those all too common dramatic farewell messages in the process. I've seen many others over the years leave forums in this manner, and it always baffles me. You're free to post or not to post. But what is causing you to leave? Because others disagreed with you?
CD and I have had our differences on this forum, but they seldom revolved around issues of substance. I agree with him politically on most issues. He understands deep politics as well as anyone. He has a keen mind and much to offer to this community and the world at large. We can all see that he is a very intelligent man. If only he'd just stop reminding us of this on a constant basis....
We all share a common enemy. However, you become like the boy who cried wolf when you infer that all those who challenge you on the forum are "agents" or working for the powers of darkness. All we can do is fight for the truth as best we can with our limited resources.
Let go of your ego once in a while, Charles, and realize that none of us are perfect. None of us have all the answers. Don't take it personally when someone has a slightly different view about some bit of data. Don't be too proud to explain yourself- some of your statements seem purposefully esoteric. But now I'm lecturing again...sorry about that.
I might humbly suggest that CD start his own blog- write what you want, the way you want, without debating with others. You've been at this for quite a while, and I'm sure you have some great stories. I know I wouldn't be the only one to read it with interest.
Seriously, it just seems ridiculous for you to leave the forum you helped establish. Especially when there is no clear reason for you to do so. I join the others in encouraging you to reconsider.
