Hi Guys,
Over the last year or so I have become a very angry person and have written many things here which have offended numerous people. I have had a massive wake up call and have decided after a request to retract a few of my forum topics to retract myself and all my posts(approx 790)from this forum as of around midnight Wed 15/1/14. I have made a request to one of the guys who is a admin here to disable my account as of late Wed or early Thurs when he gets time.
I offer my apologies to all people throughout the forum that have been offended and believe removing myself from here and a few other social media sites is the best answer. To the guys that gave me a chance and I let down I apologise and wish you all the best for 2014 and beyond. I have lost the enjoyment and have been negative in recent times and this is not good for anyone here. Really some things and been a rant and yes I am seeking help for my wellbeing.
Sorry to those who are reading this for a second time,however my account was by accident disabled 48 hours to soon. I want to make sure that ALL people who have been offended over the last year or so get a chance to read my heart felt apology.
Will continue to support my team,but also spend more time with a ill parent who suffered a massive stroke back in Nov 2012. Also will be giving my time when allowed to helping out the Stroke Foundation and BeyondBlue,these are causes close to my heart.Out of something negative something positive can be created.
No more bitter bagging anymore,sadly no positive things either as I will have no account here or elsewhere footy related.
Cheers guys, may you all have a great 2014 and may your teams do well in 2014.

I think Stephen James ended up playing at Box Hill after Richmond.
Got done by 4 - 5 goals in the last Div 2 grand Final at the Junction by Prahran I think
Peter I don't think that your posts are over the top or going overboard. Sometimes it sounds like you are "playing around" with some of your posts but they are definetly not in bad taste and you don't stir the pot nearly as much as that Digs felah :) This forum is for talking seriously and joking around at times and I think you fit in well.
Don't think I have ever read a post of yours that sounded out of line or needed to be retracted and I have certainly read worse posts on this forum than any of yours therefore I honestly think your perception of yourself may be exagerated and perhaps incorrect.
Having said all that I wish you the best of health and let me know if theirs any way I can assist.
Sorry to hear you are bailing out Lauschie, always enjoyed reading your posts, but sounds like there are some other issues in your life just now, so take good care mate & get yourself back on track ASAP, hope to see you at the Willi v Port games in 2014, cheers
lauschie, people like you are what these forums are all about, opinions & discussions - some people need a thicker skin. mabey just take a break for a while and come back nearer to the start of the season. oh, I wish you and your ill parent all the best for the future.
Matt
