It has been a pleasure...

HogHeaven

I have enjoyed my short stay on this website exchanging infomation with lot of wonderful people that have a common interest in one of the finest cooking instruments available. However in my 61 years of living and interacting with people and groups I have found it best to just move on when you are not welcome. Thank you for your knowledge and your willingness to share it. Happy Egging!

Say it ain't so!

You are always welcome here. While you'll find that we BS and rag on people, no one here takes themselves that seriously. After all, it is just grilling and barbecuing. It is supposed to be fun. You have added to the forum just like everyone else does. I personally find it a pleasure to bounce stuff off you.

I'm sorry you feel that way.  Please note that sometimes members leave for a spell and then come back later.  I hope you don't leave, but if you do, come back soon.

As you can see, I am a very new member of this Forum, but have been a very active member of a Golf Forum for several years. I have noticed the quality and frequency of your commentary and your willingness to help and share your knowledge despite being also a relative newcomer. I think it would be a shame to see you leave and I invite you to reconsider

Village Idiot

Gosh, Hogheaven. In your short time here, you have added greatly to the forum.  Because of you, I have added Mongolian Pork Chops to my permanent recipe file.  You appear to be one of the ones that push the envelope in making new dishes on the Egg, and I think it would be a great loss to the forum if you left.

Please reconsider.

How in the world did you get the feeling that you're not welcome? Did I miss something?

I think you're a good member HH and I'd hate to see you go, especially before I try Beef Love! :P

Seriously, I hope you change your mind!

Egghead_Daron

I'm not sure what happened but I would sure hate to see you go. Thanks for the knowledge imparted and I hope you make it back.

I've looked over the entire history of the forum, and I found that Mickey is the only one that is not welcome on the forum. Hogheaven is in good shape.

The Cen-Tex Smoker

Hell, Gary's (Village Idiot) left 19 times and always comes back. We hope you will too. Hope you will reconsider. I would say this is a case of getting off on the wrong foot. I was a part of that and we can do better. Simple as that. Stick around, it's a good place.

Mickey

If VI is the reason you are leaving we all understand. But what you don't know is VI has no arms or legs and types with a stick in his mouth. The pictures you see are from other forums but no one says anything as he is our mascot for the forum. The Vespa story is true, wife bought it and places him on the seat to get the stimulation. So leaving is just going to hurt VI because everyone will blame him once more.

Hope the language isnt offensive to you guys but it seemed like an appropriate meme for this situation.

Not offended, but IMO, it doesn't really apply as HH's goodbye speech wasn't triggered by territorial aholes (this time).

dweebs0r

True, true...  I just read the thread that started it all.  I'll remove it as it does not apply.  Thanks Caz.

@HogHeaven, I assume that your reacting to the whole debate about temp vs. no temp. I can see how you may have felt a bit out numbered. As others have already said, I've always appreciated your input (new comer that I am). If you stick with your decision to move along then I wish you many more years of happy cooking!

BTW, what are you guys doing up and on this forum at 2:00AM????

@HogHeaven I don't think anybody meant you any disrespect but remember many roads lead to Rome.

HH, I look at it like we're family here. We're going to fight from time to time since we all have our own viewpoints and cooking style. When the thread dies and gets buried, we move on and don't hold a grudge.

While the new members thread was high jacked, there was still a ton of valuable information in that thread. I appreciate and respect your passion about BBQ and the BGE. After all, that's why we're all here right? That passion is going to flashback sometimes, but the hair will grow back...I promise.

Please reconsider and come back to the dinner table with us. Clearly, everyone wants you here so come back and pick on the family runt (VI) with us!

Haha.  I guess that makes me the a**hole.    I'll try to be good.

Back to the topic at hand, @HogHeaven sometimes people on this (and every other internet forum) can be rude, mean, disrespectful, etc.  I am guilty of it and so is everyone else.

Try to not let it bug you too bad.  Keep cooking on your Egg and learning from and teaching to these guys and gals.  To quote Rodney King, "cant we all just get along?!?!"...

@Hogheaven, sorry you feel this way. I feel that you brought a needed argument in the temp discussion. I still have yet to comment but I back you up. And even if people disagree that doesn't mean you're not welcome.

Little Steven

That is a true shame. You are obviously a skilled cook and the forum is the loser here. I apologize if you are including my comments with those that made you feel unwelcome. You said you enjoyed a debate.

You are welcome and should come back!

Cazzy is right.  Every family has a drunken uncle.  "Our" family, unfortunately, has 436 drunken uncles.  But, damn ! they can cook !!!

... and one drunken aunt.  Sorry to leave you out, Kristi.  

Aviator

Dude, almost every one here has had a rough experience at some point.

Have you never had a cook which went so bad that you had to throw it in the garbage? Did you throw out your eggs?

Stick around, please and show us moar pork heaven.

This is 2 months old people. It's over.This week we have had Wicked Good and now this and swing rack have been revisited. Noooooooooo!

Yep, old ass thread.  This guy left and hasn't logged on since April 22nd.  His choice, whether I agree with it or not.

Aviator

Ask VI, these guys always lurk. And maybe come back.

Yeah.  HH did say he has a pilot's license .... like he's an Aviator !   :-\"

Is it too early in the week to turn this into a "slap yo mama" thread?
