Goodbye WSO

This is it folks. I received my final warning (before getting banned) from the mods reguarding my previous posts and I told them to simply ban me ( I cain't stop being who I am, sorry mods).

I decided to start this thread simply to thank Patrick and the rest of the WSO team. You guys managed to create a unique place on the net where professionals and prospective students like me could exchange valuable information while trolling at the same time. That's what so unique about WSO.

Unfortunatly, I went too hard on the trolling side of things and I knew that eventually, I would have to pay the price (lol).

Without further due, I would like to thank the following users with whom, I had the unique chance to communicate with:

ANT = My brother from another mother in our fight against Keynesianism

Melvvvar & Tony Perkis = My trolling mentors

UFOinsider &bfin = For our tipping debates

Febreeze & GoldmanBallsachs = Hope you guys find a job soon (and you will!)

IP = For the hang gliding

Edmundo Braverman = for your willingness to share your knowledge with us in a time where less & less people are willing to do that (that of course applies to other users on here).

Seabird = for voluntarily giving me my 100th silver banana (very emotional moment)

And for all the dozens of other users with whom I had the chance to talk with.

I wish you guys/gals the best of luck in your careers and may god bless every single one of you.

À dieu et bonne chance!

-Abdel

bankerellaAw, shit. Patrick, seriously?

Abdel, I'll miss you, dude. And I'll try to keep your spirit alive... at least until they shut me down too.

I still dont believe you're really a chick.

If I were worried about what people like you thought, I'd probably clean up my language a little and start acting like a pussy... I mean, a lady.

If this were anymore contrived it would be on a Spanish soap opera.

At 250+ responses, your thread on tipping was the par excellence of trolling. I hope you continue to nourish your talents. Ohh, and don't forget to announce yourself on your new profile here so we know it's you. 1

At just like that a troll is lost.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

You almost had me there, pal.

Going Concernhis thread on africa was a real eye opener

Link?

Just come back with a new avatar Abdel. Or get a new IP address if you have to. I got banned in my previous WSO life and came back strong.

Hell NO! Abdel, don't go. You still owe me a dinner date. I will think you hard no matter how much you resemble the office guy in your avatar. Maybe I should PM you my #. So call me maybe?
