In reply to the discussion: Appreciation Thread for WilliamPitt [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)92. Ahhhh...I see what you did there!
I seem to recall you were the object of more than a few pile-ons here. I also recall that you were very transparent about the stuff people were trying to pile-on about--you didn't evade or play the "it wasn't me" card...like nobody can ever change their mind about anything, or evolve, or grow, or come to new conclusions.
Well, some people can--but this place is like Animal Farm, sometimes!!!
You've always been you, and that's a good thing.
I like people who don't stop learning, myself...you're OK with me, MM.
I hope you have a brilliant birthday.

Well it seems then he attracted a fan base that hated him, because they were just like him.

I don't know that I hated him... I don't hate many people. But he certainly lost my respect. nt

I hope he does return-- as well as Kentuck and several other long termers we seem to have lost

Shouldn't someone ( perhaps Mr. Pitt himself) explain exactly why he left?
