Time to say goodbye

[Babolast]

Hello everyone,

I have been a member of these forums for nearly 20 years and I have done my best to provide accurate information to you all. I have got some things wrong but most things right.

I share info that I know because I am passionate about tennis and I know many of you share that same passion.

Recently jealous trolls have attacked me for providing accurate info about future product and potential sponsorship changes.

Quite frankly I am tried if reading that absolute garbage I've endured for simply sharing information I know.

Life is too short to to deal with these clowns.

I know most of you wont be happy that I am walking away but it is time.

I wish you all the best moving forward.

Goodbye.

That avatar is too good for you to leave brother. Just do what I do. Disappear for 3-4 months and then come back. Never seen you post but we definitely do not need any more people leaving. And the fact our paths haven't crossed tells me you post in the actual thought-provoking sections of this place.

 

[babyhagrid]

Gutted to see you go. I hope you find a community that’s more appreciative of your postings.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I'll put @NachoGPT back in his cage, I promise.

You haven’t truly lived until you’ve fended off the TTW trolls.

Honestly? The sections OP participates in should not have trolls. I feel like it's fair game for GPPD, Pro Results, Odds & Ends, but those other sections are for actual information and education. I could see how frustrating getting non-serious replies in those threads could be. When I first joined I got actually upset when my threads would be trolled, til I learned what this place actually is. Doesn't mean it all needs to be that way though.

Bye bye

You have been appreciated atleast by me.
While I ask you to reconsider, your absence will be deeply felt.

The name is unfamiliar to me even tho he’s been around nearly as long as I (have been).

Where’s he been posting? I just discovered that I Liked an O&E post from him several years back.

Simply put trolls on Ignore. Every chat forum will contain them, they cannot be avoided unfortunately. As soon as I see or suspect one they go straight on to my Ignore List. You should do the same and not punish yourself and the good posters on here by letting them win in this way.

The key to a happy online life is being very liberal with the block button.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Yeah, participation has diminished in many regards, and none of us see 'regulars around' as much. I limit input on things just because it is pointless to argue the current counter-science anecdotal posts attached to prolific, inaccurate posts.

 

[vwanderaa]

Nooo, ban the trolls or block them. We appreciate all the information you provide man

 

[jm1972]

I'm ok with OP leaving. Bye.

Almost as attention seeking as the 52 separate “Stefan” threads

No no. Gen Z invented attention-seeking behavior

Get jaggy with it

Maybe this’ll be how truth social will sign off, assuming it hasn’t already…

Cmon bro. There’s like 3 people who talk crap to you and they get called out by the rest. They really don’t matter

That's so beautiful! I just donated to my favorite retired forum posters charity!

I want to add "Former pro player talk" to your list of troll-tolerant subforums. Not condoning trolling, just stating an observation

I see you were "Last Seen" yesterday. Is this another one of those Hitman goodbyes? lol.
I dont know you from your posts, but I wouldn't let a couple jerks bully me off the forums.

Babolast had info about player gear ahead of time that nobody else did. He could be abrasive, but was a great asset to the forum.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Abrasive? Man... y'all are soft.
