I hate to set a bad example, but I'm shirking my duties. Don't be like me, kids.
 
Do you address the members now?

I am a little bit confused about the "kids" matter. I think I am a little bit more than a kid myself and I believe there are some grandpas here too, and I would've appreciated a more mature approach to your message, thanks.
 
What do you mean by "shrinking your duties" Brother?

You are having a lot of responsibility related to the library work but you are also doing an extraordinary job at it.

I personally try to keep on all of my physical and spiritual duties, though I sometimes have my own tendencies to procrastinate.

I think I should meditate on this and resolve the bad habit of procrastinating.
 
If you hold a title, your resignation should not be like this.

Unless there are special reasons that FORCE you to leave suddenly, you should set a future date for your resignation, inform High Priest, and take whatever actions are necessary to ensure a smooth transition until your resignation date.

What happened now? The careful image you have built on the forum and the hard work you once put into it has been damaged by such a thoughtless resignation message.

It can be difficult for anyone to fulfill their duties, and they may have to leave their title. This is understandable. But these things have value, and I find such an attitude unacceptable.

Are you too old? Wow I didn't expect that at all. Can I call you granpa ? so if you don't get angry. Btw I don't say that to annoy or jape you.
 
Sometimes people have this as the only way, until you don't know what's going on, don't blame jrvan.
I agree that It could have been a more professional announcement, but well, that's it.

Hope someone can take your duties, so that we don't have a big loss, take care.

Did you inform HP Hooded Cobra first before making this topic? That's hardly the proper way to announce this.
 
For some reason, eagles or squirrels love to leave suddenly.

I have sent a list of new sermons compiled by Tabby since the completion of the project. All is taken care of, and I wish my replacement the best of luck.

Be well, everyone. Thank you all for everything and happy almost-Summer-Solstice. Hail Satan!!!

I am a youthful force. Maybe some bit of old grandpa in the soul, because I cannot stand childish things of the kind in our above subject. I'll be a grumpy grandparent for sure in the future!
 
Thank you for all the good work you've done!

I hope this leaves you more time to focus on yourself now.

Please everyone, back off. Jrvan deserves respect.

Clergy or staff roles are never forced on anyone. People do have a personal life outside of the JoS too, you know.

Maybe he just didn't want to make a big deal and just get it over with.

We can't always expect people to do things our own way that we see fit. We don't know the situation between he and HP. HoodedCobra and it's not like we deserve to know as long as he let's us know he's stepping down.

His work that he has done still gives him credibility and I don't see how Jrvan wanting to get this step down dome as quick as possible takes that away.

It's just a type of joke said in English mainly America. I'm certain he was just being sarcastic and not actually seeing anyone here as an actual child.

I am aware of the saying, as the anti-hero persona steps in again with these "jokes", however they underline perfectly everything and this is reflected in my sarcasm as well above.

It's okay, I'm fine with this. I don't need to be remembered well. The community must go on, and continue learning and growing. You've all come so far in your understanding. Thank you for your support, and take care.

Not sure why other SS are approaching your message with such a negative attitude, but i for one am thankful for the work that you have done. As to the way you brought this message... just take a breather, no need to see yourself as a bad example, especially after the work that you have delivered.

I hope to see you around some more brother, take care.

Generally titles have been given upon good progress and work as a reward and to give everyone an opportunity to communally prove themselves which is one of the four Dharmic paths ones must succeed at in life.

I do not hold direct control over who leaves nor I hold people by a noose. Additionally, if people start confusing this relationship with anyone here or the Gods is not my issue.

As years pass, one also knows the responsibility is with those who do these things and not those who are left with on the gaps they leave. So I am at peace personally over these things.

Oftentimes, depending on how responsible one is towards the Gods or the community, they might not even inform. It also has to do with the maturity level of a person or advert circumstances.

In this particular situation I have no knowledge of the direct reasons. As I do not know exactly, I cannot comment either. I know it has been daunting and there have been run ins with community pressure. But thats all.

Jrvan did leave a list behind of pending work, too. Thanks Jrvan for all of your work until now.
