Damnit Leafs and Oilers really missed an opportunity the last 6 years.

They could have formed some great relationships

Lowe and Burke as golfing buddies back in the day would have been so nice

He was given the axe from hb i bet.
Or at least the 'change your schtick or you're gone' message.
It did seem like the poster hate and dissatisfaction with clouts had been growing alot lately.

I haven't seen anyone blame you for him leaving you're not important enough to make someone leave this site
- annoyance_101

What? Are you saying that there is hierarchy of posters on HB? I'm pretty sure nobody that posts here has any pull. But lets face it. There are plenty of us I here who posted their displeasure with RC's poopty work,but Iggysbf DID upset Clouts enough to get a response. Clouts quit because a very large amount posters let him know he sucked.he couldn't handle the criticism and was too arrogant to change.

I think Burke at one point even offered to rent the golf course or something like that.

If you really believe that a very large amount OF posters let him know he sucked, explain 80% of the posts here saying he'll be missed

A large amount of regulars for sure. I didnt say majority.Read past threads. Not saying he didn't have fans, but he certainly had his detractors. You saying he didn't ?

The timing of this announcement and some of what I said to you seems to have hit home. I cannot help but feel some of my comments made this decision reach it's tipping point.

Like I said, you created this little messed up world and attracted the behavior in your threads.

You have a talent for writing but you took the "persona" to far and it got out of control and we saw less and less of the real RC.

It is unsustainable long term being something you are not and will eventually wear you down.

The real RC can blog so I hope you do not give up completely. Recharge, spend some time with your wife and the things that really matter.

When you are ready to blog again you are going to come back, wiser, more experienced and as the real RC and not some "persona" which I would read.

Look at this as a lesson learned, and think long term success rather than short term massive hits.

You took the Justin Bieber approach, massively popular short term then people get sick of the act. Sorry for the analogy but I know that one will drive the point home.

Of course this is just my opinion, you know yourself the best and what you need to do.

Its the Michael Jackson syndrome. Everyone knew he was a creepy pedophile while he was here, but once he was gone that was forgiven and he became a legend who will be missed.

I never understood that.I don't care how talented the guy was, after all is said and done he was a pedophile. (MJ not Clouts)

He was the most entertaining blogger on the site by a mile. Not the one with the concrete information or connections but the one who did the best for keeping us entertained. If I wanted boring concrete info. I would check out dreger or Mackenzie ( this isn't the site for that) I'll miss your blogs Clouts good luck.
