After so much struggle, I finally decided.

I'm very sorry to see you go. I'll miss you.

@Smart_Guy no idea if you're going to see this, but I understand and wish you the best in life. I really enjoyed your posts and sense of humour and you changed my perception of people in Saudi Arabia. I will truly miss your posts but life goes on and you do what you think is best for you.

Farewell and honestly I really wish all things happy for you!

I'm sorry you feel you need to go - I wish you'd stay. Good luck in your journey, SG. I'll miss you and your insight. If you ever come through this way again I hope you can pop in and say hello!

I'm so sorry that you feel people betrayed you here, this is news to me, but since returning to the forums, I've noticed you haven't been around much. I will miss you, be well, friend. You will always be my favorite Muslim.

Hello guys. I just came to respond to your blessings and good word. You guys are sweet. I couldn't let your posts hang like that. It is to tell you that I heard you and that I hold what you said dearly. Some replies made me feel so emotional. I also logged in to fix an embarrassing spelling mistake in the OP (ehhm).

This will be my last post here.

You guys take care of yourselves and remember to eat your vegetables and drink lots of water. Fish is good for the blood and the brain too.

With love,

Smart_Guy

Unacceptable.
But if you must leave, we gossip hungry folk need to know the reason!

Hello guys.

Some of you remember me (hopefully); the crazy green thumb-up Muslim Middle Eastern Saudi Arabian Makkah native guy... now that's a mouthful!

If you're still wondering, my decision is leaving RF and cutting my ties with it for good. I can't talk much about it and all I can say is that I feel RF betrayed me one time too many for me to let it go this time.

I've been away for some time now, except for checking from coming to just have a quick look, and some of you might have noticed my removal of all information, details and media from my profile. I took this time as a break that maybe I'd cool off and let it go, but unfortunately it didn't work.

I had many plans to contribute to this community, but it is like it does not want me to. Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing it to get back at it, I'm doing it for my health and time worth. It is just how I see it sharing it with you, not that I'm evaluating this place. I thought I owe you at least this much explanation before I leave.

I care for you guys, at least, and not necessarily exclusively, those I've come to know, regardless to the disagreements we might have had. This includes the possible concerned individuals behind this leave.

This is a very difficult decision. I've been involved here in a way that makes leaving painful to me. I wish I could be around with you guy as I felt a strong bond with you. But making decisions is part of our lives. You have no idea how much pain I'm in right now saying this.

Everyone... it's been an honor. Farewell.

think revenge......lots of it
hurry back
bring your sword
(so to speak)

Absolutely. I've deeply appreciated your honesty, and I hope that you'll come back from time to time if only to challenge me.

For what it's worth,
One thing I have noticed on RF is that the posters who start threads about leaving are likely to return after awhile. More so than the ones who just cease to post.
It's a bright spot in this thread.

What concerns me is that a poster in Saudi Arabia might have
political issues more compelling than our petty concerns.

I assumed that to be the case, which is why I didn't mention it.

You were a nice guy. Sorry to see you go. You'll be missed.

 

[rocala]

I was very sorry to read this. I do not recall us ever connecting on any of the posts here but I always liked your cheerful style and friendly manner.

Very best wishes for your future.

Sure, he seemed like a really nice guy when you first met him,
but then when you got to know him, he was just a nice guy.

 

[Jainarayan]

I'm sorry we cannot check on you to make sure you are all right.

We can. A few of us are FB friends. We set up a little network for emergency contact purposes. We (he and I) just messaged today.

It's sad to me that someone or a group of someones drove you away from here, Smart Guy. I enjoyed our past chats in chat, and wish you well. And I'll always think of shawarma when I think of you. lol
