Dennis, please accept my sincere condolences and best wishes for a better 2021. While I won’t ask you to reconsider your decision to leave OF, I do hope that you will not isolate yourself. It’s never a good way to deal with loss. Take care.

I stand by my post.

I would never make such a post on a watch forum out of respect for my friend or partner.

This is a thing you talk/discuss with your closest friends and family. You don't blurt it all over the internet seeking sympathy and attention from people you hardly know.
Says you. Your arrogance and apparent willingness to harshly judge how someone else should react to and deal with loss is appalling. Go find a soul along with some common decency.

Uh oh! This thread’s gonna wind up locked and disappeared and that’s a shame.

I learned from Dennis, as I have from many others who’ve posted here. I’ll always be grateful, even if I didn’t always agree. I have nothing but appreciation.

Hell, I’ve even learned to appreciate @janice&fred ! 😉

I suppose that all depends on your culture. I think that the kindness of strangers can be healing. I also respect your desire to keep things to yourself. Our world has so much suffering, I strive to be compassionate and kind even to those who I disagree with or dislike. Of course I don't always succeed.

It’s not that your foot’s in your mouth, it’s just that you’re a total fυcking arsehole.

Life is a struggle, hope the best for you, Dennis.

I have a little plaque in our dining room, "Enjoy today, someday you'll miss it". Truer words were never spoken.

Not trying to fan the flames, but to set the record straight "Dennis" had been planning for quite a while to take a break from the forum. He has been through a rough time but did the right thing and cared for his partner right 'till the end, and maybe figured now is the time to let the forum go too. Rather than simply drop out of sight, he posted to say goodbye to all his pals. That is not looking for sympathy or attention.

I really feel sorry for you. If you can’t comprehend that this might be part of his grieving / healing process....a little empathy goes a long way.

These horrible things can happen to any of us any moment. We deal with them the best we can. It may not always do what others do but matters of the heart such as this can bring people to terrible places. If a little mention or shout out on a forum where you are familiar with people serves you well at all by all means go for it. One of our main jobs as humans is to lighten the load for our fellows when possible, I think we too easily lose sight of that and sometimes a kind word goes a long way.
