It's also possible having had his thread moved to chit chat ( AGAIN), he is taking a couple weeks to dry out his tears and shake it off.
We also cannot dismiss the fact that he may have HURLED too many cars and broke his monitor. Only seen that happen once, so i know it can happen.
Maybe the Department of Homeland Security shut down his terminal, in fear that the HURLING of cars was too large for the internet's infrastructure to handle.
He never left - he's just abandoned his chit chat journal and posts to other's threads or starts nowhere threads of his own. I think the mods ought to let him have one more shot at a non-chit chat journal to see though what rabbit hole he make go next.
