Marmora Man - come back - we miss you

[PeckhamRose]

Not seen him since the Admin had his 2 week holiday.

Hope he's alright?

Maybe we bored him.

[????]

I think he's been away longer than that - I think he felt it was going down hill, he'd be great in the Drawing Room especially

[red devil]

Isn't he 'The Chair' in the Drawing Room?..

He hasn't gone that far.

[MrBen]

I was talking to a local born and bred Dulwichite over the summer who explained that he didn't bother with the EDF or it's debates as his one cursory read revealed that "They're all mostly self important idiots apart from the gentleman called Marmora Man who is the only participant I could credit with any real intellect".

A true compliment indeed and on that occasion I chose not to disagree!

[mockney piers]

While I don't actually think anybody for a minute mistakes anything they do here as significant beyond the immediate circle of people who participate, I couldn't for a second blame anyone who thinks we sound like we do; we are a pompous bunch of tosspots I must say.

Marmora man a thoroughly decent chap though. I think he felt the levels of debate had been descending for quite some time and either the drawing room was too little too late or was just the same pompous nonsense wrapped up in a thin veneer of intellectuality.

But do come back!

[????]

the Forum would hardly have anything on it if it wasn't for all us self important idiots

[Keef]

I'm not self important, I'm just an idiot.

[SteveT]

I found his posts good value, and a loss for all of us who read this forum, if he has gone.

You and me both brother. You and me both.....

[Brendan]

I?m not self important. I?m just more important.

[karter]

There seem to be a fair few forumites that have disappeared, they come and go in phases, it's the nature of this place and what it has to offer i guess and of course how busy people are.

And camp, Brendan, don't forget camp.

[Brendan]

Don?t make me flounce off like Marmora Man.

[SteveT]

MM didn't come across as the flouncing variety somehow, being six foot five and fifteen stone........

[PeckhamRose]

Maybe he got a job, too!

[Alabama]

No sign?

That is more than likely the case. He was looking for a new job as I recall. So he's probably got more important things to do than post on here with the rest of us slackers.

[Marmora Man]

Reports of my demise have been exaggerated (apols Mark Twain).

I am bewildered, but secretly chuffed, by the compliments from readers.

However ????? has it right - overall I felt the level and quality of debate had deteriorated. A swift glance at current contributions does little to change my mind.

I may glance at EDF occasionally in the future but I've weaned myself from it's dangerously addictive allure and have learnt to "just say no".

[????]

Hope to see you during the Election MM - well actually before but understand your point of view.

[PeckhamRose]

Welcome back mate.

An element of silliness is not a BAD thing,

so don't forget to have fun too....
