Im not Mustache, Good Bye

[AgileTurtle]

After being here for a few months I realize I am not one of you and disagree with way too much. Time for me to move on and find my people.

Good luck on your tiny houses, index investing, and living in rail cars like hobos (kidding around)

[bacchi]

You do? Looking through your posts, I don't see much disagreement except possibly in the tiny houses thread.

[Zikoris]

It's not for everyone. Cheers!

[RyanAtTanagra]

Devils advocates can be a very good thing, as long as it's sincere and respectful and not trolling.

[Grateful Stache]

After checking the balance in my Vanguard account, I wish you the best (while typing from my average-size house).

I hope you find what you are seeking.

- Grateful

In the immortal words of my father, "Don't go away mad.  Just go away."

Feeling the need to announce that you're leaving smacks of a desire to be begged to stay.

Yeah didn't this already happen with EscapeVelocity? And they're still around.

[2ndTimer]

Just when I think I don't understand people, it becomes obvious that I REALLy don't understand people.  Can he/she possibly think we care?

[MoneyCat]

Please stay!  My life will no longer have any meaning unless you are here!  I'll give you stock tips!  Anything!  Just stay!  *breaks down in tears*

[wtjbatman]

God speed my friend

[NICE!]

Love the title of this thread.

I don't remember seeing a bunch of threads with you and any rapid disagreement. It can be a little cultish here - is the the problem? If so, what parts of the "belief system" aren't working for you?

[Zikoris]

In all seriousness, what's the point of creating threads like this? Attention? I've come and gone from various message boards and never felt the need to announce my departure.

Probably for attention. Of course, you don't have to respond (twice!) if it chaps your hide.

It doesn't bother me. Just seems kind of silly.

[bacchi]

There is some scant criticism with the mention of tiny houses and index investing. But, yeah, it's mostly a "I'm leaving. Will anyone miss me?" plea.

I think the OP really just needs a hug.  But, honestly, don't we all?

When i first joined, i thought "mustache" was something that grew on your face (and about money)

Come to find out, it has nothing to do with money, or facial hair...just happiness...

The irony is that you're probably the most mustache person...or not...

[Davids]

Good luck in your journey, I hope you do not end up as a story in the overheard at work antimustachian thread.

[Elliot]

Bye, Felicia.

[fartface]

Ha.

+1 @ "Don't go away mad, just go away."

I hope you find the APR you're looking for. ba ha a ha ha a ha

Adios, Amigo!

[Primm]

Bye, Felicia.

Bwahahaha! Brilliant. *claps* :)

[pdxvandal]

We'll miss you so much. Bye.

[marty998]

Turtle wasn't so Agile that they hung around for 2.5 hours after posting....

[davisgang90]

Don't let the door knob hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!

Seriously, best of luck in your search!

[rabbit]

Um, Bye?

Easy guys, some sarcasm and passive aggressive undertones in this thread. 

I think it's legit to say goodbye especially if you're a relatively frequent poster (I don't know if she is).  Better to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was a courtesy post. 

Maybe a better idea is to have a dedicated thread for defectors so we know who's no longer active.

That's rather presumptuous of you. What if AgileTurtle is a he?

Hah true, I meant to say he/she but hadn't had my coffee yet...

[MooseOutFront]

I just can't imagine what problem anyone would have with index investing.

He (or she) who lives in a glass house (or tiny glass house) should not throw stones.

[Iron Mike Sharpe]

I'd like to announce that I'm sticking around!

On the other board I post on we call these "tearful goodbyes"

I've always called it a 'flounce'.  Here's the (SFW) Urban Dictionary definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Flounce&defid=7202450 -- this seems to fit, though the drama level is fairly low compared to some I've been witness to.

My 1SG used to say that all the time, the funny thing is, they go away EVEN MADDER when you say it! I personally use a more "2014y" expression:

Make like an airplane, and disappear.

[kpd905]

For some reason, when I read the thread title I can only read it in a Russian accent.

Haha, I think that was the point when my dad would say it too.  I never found it very funny when I was a kid, but it's HILARIOUS now!

On the other board I post on we call these "tearful goodbyes"

I've heard them referred to as GBFs (goodbye forever), or alternatively GGFs (go get f...ed !)

[gnomemom]

I've heard it referred to on other message boards as a YAGE:  Yet Another Grand Exit - because they generally return and then leave again ;)

[marty998]

Righto - why don't we call it the "I shaved my mustache" thread?

[YeahNo]

Righto - why don't we call it the "I shaved my mustache" thread?

lol, nice! I'd say go ahead and start it.

[Roland of Gilead]

Agile got the last laugh by causing 44...er, 45 people wasting their time ranting over a goodbye thread.

lol @ us

[YeahNo]

I'm happy...

[fartface]

'member that Poison song? Or, wait, it was Motley Crue...cannot get it out of my head:


That's alright, now that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth, smilin' through some pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say, girl, it goes this way

Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad
Now girl, just go away, here we go

Don't go away mad
I dont want you to stay

[gobius]

Bye, Felicia.

I had to Google that.  Then I LOL'd.

[Irishtache]

I too struggle with some aspects of the Mustachian way of life, for various reasons: 1) I am weak and only slowly coming around from complainypants consumer sukka way of life 2) Financial structure here in Ireland makes index investing difficult for all but the most determined and 3) I am trapped/blessed by a generous occupational pension scheme with (at a notional withdrawal of 4%, equates to a stache of over €1m) so I gotta stay at work for 4-6 more years.

I would be more interested in the difficulties OP has with Mustachianism than histrionic goodbyes. I love the forum and aspire to many aspects of the MMM philosopy. It has prevented me from succumbing to clown car-ism at year end, or if I do change the car, I will feel very dirty. My wife and kids think I am just tight!

[soccerluvof4]

See ya!  I am actually glad that's one less following the these principles.  I don't want the whole world doing the same thing! :-)
