If this post gets more SBs than MS, I will retire from posting on WSO

I have been getting a lot more MS lately (not that I give a ***** about muh internet points - cause I truly don't), but I believe that my comments are sometimes off pudding - these comments may push people away from the glorious site that is wallstreetoasis.com. Additionally (this of course isn't as important as the first reason), I would like to preserve my legacy while I am still a LEGAND on these forums. I would like to go out in my prime - not continue playing past my glory days, like some of the less legendary posters of the past (again, this reason isn't really very important at all, want to make that clear that it isn't important).

This is a difficult post for me to make, as I believe there is still much mirth to be had on these forums.

But I am a man of the people. If this post gets more SBs than MS, I will retire. No questions asked, no protests.
