While I had to do three extended tours with the military doing deep counter terrorism hunts and battles, mostly alone, my wife got engaged three times and now that I am civilian her friends are attacking me from all sides and she has gotten engaged again. She also laughs at me here. If you think I am being too sensitive or foolish, I am sorry, but it hurts. All the years I watched her mess around with record numbers of men and still I never gave up hope. You are all right, this forum is not for me and I regret ever having bothered you. See you around....

....Happy Trails pard....seriously, best of luck-and find yourself some help...I really mean that in a serious way-not an insulting manner...

I disagree with Scott....he is a much nicer person than I am. I feel that this board is a gift from Uncle Steve....it is not a place to feed one's own ego or a soapbox to make it all about you. We all have things to contribute in a positive way. If we cannot find anything positive than we'd best be gone. If folks find just negative feelings on the site than the problem is their own fault.....if you are not the problem than there is no solution.
If you can find something good here, than by all means return with our welcome.

I disagree with staropeace.

Mr. King is a perfectly good Yankee, so I don't see him spending much money to give a gift to the tiny fraction of his readership who post here. This board is primarily for promoting his novels and other projects.

I suspect that Ayko is either infected with some nasty adware or one of the scripts on this site is triggering an alarm within his antivirus software. Either way, there also seems to be a language barrier hindering communication.

Ayko, if you're still around, what brought you to this site? Did your antivirus or firewall software tell you that this board is trying to read your cookies when you're off-site? That's a sneaky, but all-too-common, method used by both legitimate and not-so-legitimate ad agencies to target their ads to you... but it's nothing that this site did.

Sounds like you distrust "Yankee" motives. If you seriously do then I imagine my response to you will be in vain. While the main site, StephenKing.com, does promote sK's work and provide news updates about him, the Message Board, a service provided at no little personal monetary and emotional expense on his part, is indeed a gift from Steve to his fans. He makes no money here. And anyone who thinks Stephen King is all about money and is stingy hasn't done their homework.

You might be taking things a little too seriously there, Pal....

I have posted positive messages in abundance. I have praised Stephen King for his super novel Rose Madder. I have preaised his acting ability as Jordy of Creepshow and Creepshow in general. I have praised the film Shawshank Redemption but not the FSK rating system. I have tried humor and fun with Tommyknockers. I have mentioned a few opinions and observations, but with respect. All in all, my positive messages outweigh any that could be considered negative. Obviously staropeace hasn't read my messages and so his or her comments are void of validity. And thanks for your allowance to return *rolls eyes*

GNTLGNT, I am not really leaving in the sense of no more contact. There are many startrek.com members here that tried to mob me and couldn't. I believe they are still furious about that. No insult taken with your message. I sense your sincerity with the good luck wish. I will send you a PM soon, if I may be so bold, with some interesting news. Stay tuned for that and thanks for the fun. You are truly a cool member.

Thanks Evil Queen for your kind request for me to reconsider leaving. I have decided to stay. However, let me add that I now need to fully concentrate on my own site and writings so, I won't be around here all that much but, I will gander in once in a while.

Later....

[Evil Queen]

Ayko, there are really a lot of nice, caring people here on this message board. I hope you think it over before leaving for good.
