We have lost a true Atlas legend

[Joe Republic]

He asked me to forward this:

To my friends, which all of you are...

Goodbyes are never easy, and I haven't had to say goodbye very often in my life.  But goodbyes are inevitable.  And this goodbye hurts.

Sorry for the drama of this messy exit, it's all been rather childish of me, but I really need to move on.  I have asked Nym to do his duty.

Thanks for keeping me company, esp during my stay in Boston,  and keep your chins up.  I will miss you, you're a good group.  But it is simply time for me to go.

Love ya,
Jay Frederick

Hasn't he done this before?

Got himself banned?  Yeah, but that was only temporary.

[Joe Republic]

can we have word on whether a ban has gone through or he is simply on "mute"?

He has been banned.

[Joe Republic]

If he really wanted to get himself banned, he could have simply asked outright.  Like that one kid from Colorado or somewhere whose username escapes me right now.  He put up a thread in the Atlas saying "please ban me", and Nym did so.  Very little drama.  But no, jmfcst preferred to troll his way out for several years instead.
