You may have known me, TimTurner, very well during my two months on this forum. Thanks to shifts in my life I'm semi-retiring. But first let me say that this forum was pretty unique, it was an experience I found unusual. I found an outlet for my opinionated views. I found a place filled with people obsessed with politics. It was a pretty interesting experience. It was different from what I was used to at Wikia. I almost never talked about politics there.
I articulated my political leanings during my two months here. I was progressive on economics, dovish, almost a partisan Democrat on an array of things, and leaned to the right on social issues (fittingly for a Populist). Populists are almost unicorns here - you don't see them so much. I was, in short, and oddball, an user with quirks few other users had. I never cursed at anyone, I never made any real enemies, I rarely got mad with anyone, yet people generally groaned at my jokes (and I made a lot of them). I was once called one of the nicest guys here.
In Atlasia, after being recruited by Windjammer, I found myself registered first in Wisconsin then in Texas, identifying as a moderate Laborite. I was in the middle of an Assembly run when the realization hit me I could not go on. I hope the best that Labor will get in the Assembly in the ballot.
I found it interesting chatting politics on here for two months. I made many friends, created few enemies, set up over 5,000 posts, and created 20 polls. Like I said before, interesting. Anyway, this is TimTurner, the Atlas poster who no one understands, and at 3:00 A.M tomorrow I go into semi-retirement.
