I thought about my departure, and while I’m not sorry about what I said, I do miss 90% of this community. I understand that there are ~five people here that would much rather discuss politics and spread ignorance and intolerance than talk about rocks and lapidary. That’s fine. Even though some of them made promises in the “This Board” thread to stop that behavior, the temptation is clearly too great.
That said, In light of recent events IRL, I understand that I have no choice but to ignore people like that, and to continue being the open minded and positive person I am.
I also understand that there will always be people trying to sell you a lemon disguised as a Ferrari. That’s fine. I feel bad for the suckers, but will not be one of them.
So, with Geoff v2.0 I’m only going to focus on rock and lapidary related topics, and leave any arguments about politics, war, religion, finances, and whether or not something can be considered a gem to those that want to waste their lives arguing on the internet. I’m far more interested in my baby, making more babies, and making heaps of money to worry about inconsequential B.S. like that.
If you’ve made it this far, congrats, I owe someone drusy coral, and I owe Shotgunner two bricks of Alaska’s finest… Jade.

Welcome back, Geoff! I came to the same conclusion some time back and generally avoid Life, the Universe, etc.

I've been light on here lately so I missed the events leading to the departure, but I'm glad you're back!

I like your technical stuff (photography, making your self glow) as much as your rock stuff. Glad you are back. I am on and off with the politics and such. Maybe it is ya'alls fault. If everyone posted more rock stuff and kept me busy I would not go there. ;P ;P First New Year constitution, prostitution, reproduction OH yea, retrobution, well whatever it is called (I SIR jim promise to get on life and whatnot only when I am consecrated, decapitated uh constipated) You all know, that lye that we make every year to change our bad habits. ,) GOT TO GO NOW. Jim

Glad you decided to come back, I was sad to see you go even though I wasn't entirely sure what happened.
