  • Well done and goodbye
     OP - July 15, 2010, 02:56 PM
    Dear all,

    A couple of weeks ago I returned from 6 years living in Afghanistan (interrupted for a year due to a security incident).  Somehow its seems that I'm going to have less time for this back in the UK (not that I was ever very regular) so I figured it was about time to say goodbye.

    I first got interested in on-line discussions about Islam back in 2005 when I had only been overseas for a year and someone recommended FFI as a place where there was some no-holds-barred debates going on.  While I enjoyed learning a bit about Islam, I also more often found myself in discussions with atheists and agnostics.  I have really enjoyed being able to talk about things with people who think differently to me (I'm a Christian) - particularly when such conversations are rarer in real life.

    When Ali Sina start seeing little green men, many of the atheists came here and I followed shortly after.  That was pretty much my only reason for being here - well that and I had always enjoyed Berberella's posts at the other place.  I'm sorry that there are those who felt that the only reason a Christian could be here would be to prey on vulnerable new ex-muslims.  That really wasn't why I was here.

    Lastly I wanted to say well done to Os, Berbs, Aziz, Hassan, Cheetah and anyone else who has worked so hard to make this forum what it is.  You wanted it to be a place where ex-muslims and questioning muslims could feel comfortable and you've achieved that well.

    So all the best for the future!

    Cheers,
    sparky

    Sorry to see you go.  I have a great deal of respect for you as a debater, and I rarely say that to theists as we never see eye to eye.  Wish you all the best for the future and hope you still pop in from time to time.

    Thanks for the kind words, Sparky. Afro

    I know we had our differences in the past, but I hope you know it was nothing personal - just the usual internet heated debates that are not to be taken too seriously Wink

    It's obvious you are a decent guy and I hope you will pop back now and again Smiley

    Bye bye Sparksville. The pleasure was all ours. I'm itching to know what you did in Afghanistan but you're leaving so it doesn't matter.  Have a great life. You seem to be a kind soul so I'm sure you will.

    I never thought you were here to prey on anyone, but then I already knew you from FFI. You're a decent bloke and I'm sure you'll do some good wherever you go. Best of luck for the future. Smiley
