The Time Is Calling

Good luck in your endeavors munk. I hope this isn't entirely goodbye, but rather a "see you later."
 
I haven't left too many tracks in this forum in the last year or so. Doesn't mean I wasn't watching. Munk, I always enjoyed your big posts, introspective, rambling, whatever. I appreciate your contributions, 'cause I read them, enjoyed them, reflected on the perspective, shared them...

Do what you think is right, nothing is honest with a person otherwise. I think it's a clean slate for you, too. Breathe the free air.

Take care, whatever, whenever.
 
If you read this Munk, I'd just like to say that if you do come back, I'd greet you as if you've never left.

Besides, when you've been a part of this nut house for so long, you just can't leave, it's a permanent part of your life. Too bad this fact applies to certain trolls too.

I'm not much of a stay in touch person, but I know your email and you know mine.


I'll be thinking about you from time to time.

-D
 
Munk, the HI part of BladeForums will not be the same without your presence. Your writings have given me many insghts on life. You will be missed. I do hope that you come to visit every so often, if for no other reason than to let us know you are still around. May the Gods smile upon your part of the world.

You will be missed my friend.... sorry to see you go, but I think I understand. Holler if you get down this way.

Damn, son!
You welcomed me, taught me, argued with me, made me think.
Sometimes we meet people that prod us along, either with intellect, or prickly pear. You and I know sometimes both work, on our journey.
One Day at A Time, my friend!

You'll be missed by many munk. Please don't consider the door to be closed behind you. I understand the need to take time off.
 
You will be missed my friend. You were the first one to welcome me to the forum long ago. I'll miss your voice and your stories. They gave me a break and a chance to reflect and relax. Please don't give up the writing, and I hope to hear your voice again if not in this forum, then maybe published. Do what is good for Munk.
Take care,
Terry
 
but I expect this won't be the last I hear of you. I enjoy your introspective, and thoughtful posts. What do they have to do with khukuris? Everything. Take care, Munk.

Well Munk forums are richer for diversity I think.

Having been verbaly toe to toe with you on a few occasions over the years , because of are sometimes varied veiws & even on occasions the personal stuff that struck chords in each other perhaps? I will be sorry to see you go.

who wants to live in a world where evryone dances to the same tune, eats the same food & dreams the same dreams? & is never pationate about thier veiws. Wasnt that the supposed marxist utopia?

Also Anger at others in forums is more to do with our own shadows than anything else most of the time I think. So if people our angry with you, my attitude is "well thats there problem."

As Nelson {The 2nd one} said.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.


I will miss not ever reading your posts.

Whatever you choose to do & whether you decide to change your mind or not, good luck & take care.

I thank you from bottom of my heart for all your help and supports to HI, Kamis, I and forum.
 
A sad day for the forum:(

I'm sorry I don't have much else to say right now..its been a hellava hard week. I will weigh in more heavily when I'm able.

I can say that this place will truly be diminished by your absence.

Keep in touch my friend.
 
Munk, it was a couple days before I thought I could post about this. I'm deeply saddened--for this place, you, and everything.

To me, you're as much a part of this forum as anything. It'll be too weird not seeing your introspective posts prompting me to question my existence.

I want you to know that, while I selfishly wish you wouldn't leave, I understand and respect your decision. Each man must walk his own path, and nothing stays the same forever. Things change, people move. Say hi to Sarge somewhere out there in the great blue yonder.

I hope you know how much of an impact you have had so many people here. You showed us that there could be another, deeper lever to relationships like this. That there really are other good men out there who understand how cheap life really is in the Brazos. And while I haven't yet helped you fend off the hordes with a .41 Mag and Rose in hand, rest assured that as long as I'm living, you will have a friend in me, Brad.

Thank you for welcoming me to this place at a time in my life when I really needed it. Thank you for getting me into a hobby that involves philanthropy and not harm. Thank you for forcing me to reexamine myself, my own ideology, and the nature of existence in different ways than I had ever thought.

Thank you. Take care. Keep in touch as often as you can, via email or the forum. Don't just disappear--no need for that.

Smoke, and be well,

Chris
 
with my longer absences I always knew you would be here when I come back - and I liked the idea as I know you as a reliable and true person with a deep understanding of many things and the best intentions - suffering when these intentions would not become reality. I think you are an idealist and a realist at the same time. I think I have learnt a lot from you and a lot about you. You know you will be missed.
take care,
best wishes for you and yours

Munk, I hope you will reconsider. Take a month or so off and think on it. I honestly think that the Cantina will be poorer off without you, despite how a few may interpret the tone of your posts.

Munk, I think you just need to take a break, you're just worn out. I joined a year before you and didn't break a thousand yet. You are / were over 14 thousand. Think about it. ;)
 
I'd love to see Munk start posting again. I'll not hold my breath, though, that this is just a temporary thing.

Bottom line, there've been tensions for a while among folks with different views of what it means to be respectful of Bill Martino's legacy - and different views of how to recognize and move on through personal and relationship hardships.

I feel this as a big loss - but there's been loss here for a while. Other posters have either stopped coming, or radically cut back their input - and have been missed for it. Now, perhaps, it's Munk's turn - at least, that's how he's seeming to see it.

I've been a fan of all of the people involved, and have learned much from each. Among other things, I'll continue to miss their interactions. The place does change; so long as we want to, we'll find our way.
