Oh dear! So unusual, and not something I've seen before on ECF, let alone in this happy part of it.

I liked Sloth, and he brought a lot of good things to the forum, including some humour.
He has had his 'off' moments though, and last night/yesterday wasn't a good day for some reason. It seemed to bring out the worst - for anyone who missed it, a post that was deleted was totally unacceptable.

Whatever your demons Sloth, if you're reading here still, I hope you resolve them, and that we'll see you back sometime.

For the record, I did not inform the moderators of the post. They monitor the forums themselves and don't need me to inform them of it. I was hoping sloth would remove his own post after I told him it was inappropriate. I am unsure what the "war with penguin" means. I was not aware we were at war with each other.

Pen, I took your post to be just as you said now and sorry that sloth got so derailed. And I know no one here would tell the mods anything as they are indeed always watching everything (as is their jobs) so there is never a need for that. And Clark being absent for the most part from the move probably couldn't intervene and stop the escalation...

I didn't see a war, far less any that you were a part of.

Sloth was, it would appear, not in a 'good place' last night.

It appears the sloth has quit ECF. I don't know what sent him off the edge, but I hope he finds his inner peace.

Peace brother warrior...

Sloth was one of the first NT family I met and was really nice to me, but I too have had those nights where everything gets to me and I act out of place especially if you add some adult beverages in the mix. In fact there has been a few times I left a gaming group/guild/clan w/e over a bad night and said some pretty horrible and cruel things all of which I regretted the next day. Wish ya the best buddy hope to see you around in the future.

Agreed -- wishing him the best -- physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Peace brother warrior...

I wish you nothing but the best Sloth, that goes without saying...

This happens from time to time... people get what they need from the community and then they leave - changed, for the better, we hope. It's your time to carve a new path! I'm excited for you...

Based on the content of your posts, this is what you wanted... I was the same type in my youth - I couldn't leave unless I burned the bridge - and that's what's been done - so, consider your campaign a success. I wish you a good journey brother!

If you read back through his posts, it was a strange progression. He started off very articulate and well-spoken, then over time gave up on caps and punctuation. Then started referring to himself in the third person and writing like a caveman, then the random nonsensical stuff started. At first I thought maybe his account got hacked because the posts looked like something a spambot would write, but they were interspersed with semi-lucid/on topic posts. I don't know if it was deliberate on his part or a side effect of something else going on, but it's too bad either way.

Back on topic, congrats on the move, Clark - enjoy your fancy new digs!

Same here! Poor guy. As they say, the descent into madness is subtle, yet inevitable. I hope time away from the forum will be beneficial, and his recovery is prompt. He was one of the first to post on my desperate 'need to find a new bakery flavor' thread recommending Nicoticket's CLS (a slow descent into madness itself).

I'm a bit confused about the post of Sloth's that was removed. IIRC, it was lyrics/poem (terms used loosely) that sort of resembled something by Bruno Mars. Not that I'm any authority on Bruno Mars, mind you. But the post made me curious enough that I googled a couple selections from Sloth's "poem", and his was one name that came up as having similar lyrics.

Excerpts from the deleted(?) post:
"I love the sound of your laughter you hear your voice fills my entire heart...", and "You look at me the way I am, I love what you see, I love your beautiful eyes, I love the way you...".

Only thing I can guess is maybe the offending post had been replaced with what I read. Because although the post I read was somewhat disjointed, I didn't see anything that would be construed as offensive...

I think it's over and done with now Cobalt. I saw one of the more problematic posts from another thread, and it was unfortunately very inappropriate. I'm not sure where Sloth's head was at with all this, but I wish him the best on his travels.

BOT - I don't have much Switch so I'm letting it steep some before I give it another romp. Will let y'all know how it turns out when I fire this back up. I was in the camp of folks this didn't quite hit for - not bad, but a bit overpowering.

I loved Switch right away, but I found I couldn't vape it all day. It was just a little... too much, or something. I would fill up the bottle in my mini & take a hit every now & then, and it was perfect. Now I'm finding I want it more often. I was afraid it would lose all the weird, herbal punchiness as it steeped, but it hasn't... it's just gotten, I don't know, smoother? Definitely more balanced & cohesive. I am really excited to see how it steeps, but of course my bottle is almost gone. (thankfully just traded for another 50mLs) I bet the folks who were on the fence about it in the beginning will come around... to me it's getting better and better. Now, when will we get more??!!

Switch has become a fave of mine.

It has taken Radios place as my going out for drinks with the smokers, vape.
(They all think it smells amazing btw)
I think with it's floral/resiny/piney notes (which I also thin have mellowed out) it pairs really nicely with beer, whereas some liquids can be too sweet.

I vote it's a keeper!!

It does pair well with beer! And wine! And I bet with cocktails as well (G&T, I bet would be awesome). And certainly coffee & strong black tea.

Absolutely agree! I couldn't vape too much at first. I let it sit two weeks and it's way smoother. I keep going back to it. I also traded for another 50 ml and I'm afraid it won't be enough. Bring it back Kent!

Yes it's keeper! It really does pair good with a nice IPA. They both have that piney-ness to em.
