End of an era?

[Sassafras]

Well I certainly didn't expect this lol

Thank you my friends.

Truth be told I had cancer from 2016-2017 and that really doused any fire I had for sociability, popularity, being an influencer, etc. It was a stage IV metastatic squamous cell carcinoma that got into my lymph nodes and my skull. I had to do a will and everything because I only had a 20% chance of living through it. The cancer itself wasn't actually that bad, I just got tired and would have eventually just fallen asleep one day and never woke up again. The treatment was hell. I first had a surgery where they took off my face (not hyperbole), cut chunks of my skull out, then sent me for treatment, I had to do proton and radiation. The feeling of sunburned bones is something I'd never wish on an enemy, and something I would rather die than feel again.

I've been through a lot in my life, but that treatment regime changed me.

Prior to the cancer, I was still the same fiery young buck that I was in the army, wanting to be the center of attention and the life of the party. I lived for conflict and saw things like what happened yesterday as an enjoyable battle of wits. After, I found that I just want to sit on my porch and enjoy a cool breeze and watch the wildflowers in the field behind my house.

I've become an introvert and I wish to wallow away my imminent and forthcoming irl retirement in peace, plenty and quiet. I don't have the desire to be in any sort of political or leadership position anymore. I'm sorry if I've failed you guys in this, I just want peace, and being a public figure, even in the tiny capacity such as this, isn't conducive to having peace and quiet.

I thank you all again for the kindness, I geninely did not expect this.

Your shocking and horrible battle with cancer is one more example of the tenuous brevity of life that should sober each one of us. The value of your life doesn't spring from how you look or what you have accomplished. Our lives have worth and meaning because we were created in the image of God. I pray that you know Him so that your forever life can be indescribably awesome.

Hope you find the peace you are looking for. But if you ever change your mind and decide to come back, then you know you have a whole MFK family patiently waiting to welcome you with open arms.

Though I've only been here a short while, from your previous posts I can appreciate some of the good that you have done here. You will be missed. Good fortune & favor to you in your future endeavors.

Is there someone lined up to take his place, or is this possibly the beginning of the end of MFK?

There is someone in the slot to do my admin duties using our generic admin account, but thus far there is no clearcut direct successor as the actual Site Manager or figurehead of our community.

I nominate The Masked Shadow to take the reins.

I mean, we're well into the 21st century; why let the place merely burn when we have the nuclear option available to us?

The only 2 choices are the Balaclava Bot Butcher esoxlucius or the Sausage Finger Spam Slayer jjohnwm obviously.

With all the bad luck that chicx had whilst in the post I'd say the position is a poisoned chalice. I wouldn't wish that degree of bad luck on anyone I liked or admired.

So my vote goes to jjohnwm !!!! Lol.
