The one that got split into the curry digression thread.

You have exhibited a lot of patience in that area. Other places would have banned that whack job already for the amount of disinformation and bad faith arguments he constantly puts up. I muted him for my own sanity.

Likely I could / should have done more as moderator to understand and mitigate whatever was going on, but unfortunately it coincided with a really busy period at work, and that part of my brain was depleted.

Respectfully, but very strongly, disagree.
While we are not “owed” the incredible reviews that CS did, to go back and purposely delete his own threads isn’t at all “quiet,” IMHO. Deleting posts isn’t a FU to management; it’s a FU to all of us who participate here.
Second, there is a big gap btw someone who just stops posting and someone who is looking for people to “beg” them to stay. Someone (myself included) can post why they are leaving w/ a hope that it encourages people to reflect upon themselves and the community they create (even an on-line community).
I participate in quite a few on-line communities myself, and I don’t even know what a post that is tacitly looking for people to “beg” them to stay would even look like, personally. And, in all the on-line forums in which I participate, that kind of implied demand would go largely unfulfilled. ::shrug::

Wow can’t believe chowseeker got upset about maybe 2 threads and quit. I think also the shunji thread got under their skin.
I will miss their multi visit posts and the food info will definitely be missed, but geez they need to chill.

Their?
I don’t think CS even mentioned their gender… I also used the They pronoun because of it.

Pretty darn sure it’s a he.

CS is a he, and he often dines with a crew. Sat next to him/them once.

Yeah didn’t know CS was a he/she. But I believe CS is a he (which has been confirmed by @J_L) based on chats I’ve had with other posters just figured it’d be better to go with ‘they’.

Love chowseeker. But I was heart broken when Kevin left . A true journalist with a potty mouth who you would just want to nosh with . And say I’ve got the next round.

Did he speak to you or reveal himself as CS?
I seem to remember it coming out in a thread he and JL were at a restaurant at the same time and CS saying come over and say hi next time. But maybe I’m not remembering correctly
Perhaps you’re thinking of this? When @J_L said he wanted to stop and say hi.

That must be it!
I was going to post a:
“Tell Me Why I Should Stay!” thread but pretty sure no one would respond.

I would!.. If only to say that I wasn’t going to respond further. ::snort:: 
But, in all honesty, if someone really did make a post like that, I’d ignore it and/or think to myself, “Come up w/ your own reasons for staying, fer Christ’s sake!” while, you know, pounding my cane on the floor.
