To all that it would matter to:
I've recently come to the conclusion that I am finished as a poster @ Debate Politics. Its been a great few years frequenting the site however I no longer feel that this is the place for me.

I joined back in April 06 back when ToT and doughgirl were pretty major players here. I joined because I felt that the whole general consensus here @ DP that an individual lacked morality because he lacked mystical beliefs was something to be debunked.

Back then I didn't know anything of logical fallacies, or what it means to debate an issue properly. Since then I've learned and grown a great deal by getting my ass handed to me on issues that I didn't know nearly as well as I believed that did.

I've always believed in the power of reason, and that if my reasons were good enough people would helplessly believe as I believed. But it was putting my beliefs out there for all of you that come from various walks of life, for your reasons that I grew the most from.

I honestly feel more intelligent, yet more humble thanks to many of you. I've learned a great deal about the human condition from my exchanges with the best DP had to offer, and even from the most deluded.

I wanted to thank those who's wisdom I will forever carry with me, regardless of our disagreements. Those would be:
Galenrox
Kandahar
Felicity
Reverent Hellhound
SgtRock
Ikari
dogger
Americanwoman
rivvrat
Hatuey
1069
Cephus
jallman (despite his recent turn of character)
niftydrifty
Mach
Southerdemocrat
and of course Jerry.

For those who have PM'ed me about it, I regret that I will not be able to finish with the "Philosophy of Liberty" debate. There is simply too much that must be said.

I love you all, I thank you for all that I've learned from you and will never forget this experience. - Lachean, aka Randy

You're gonna be sorely missed, my friend. Come back and at least say "hi" whenever you can.

I'm sorry to see you go. I always appreciated your candor and insights on the issues that you appear most keen on. I definately learned a lot from you. I hope you and happiness find each other.

I’ve always enjoyed reading your posts Lachean, because you have a knack of getting folks to think and consider things from various perspectives. That’s an invaluable gift.

Stop back in whenever the mood invites you. All blessings to you and yours.

You still have rivvrat, and if you need extreme atheism there is always Cephus.
