A Letter To Bib
With his sudden departure I simply imagined that Bigger arrived at the point where for him, PE and his role here were tapped out, and he wanted to retire from it. So, with the same characteristic cool he has always demonstrated he exited without the dramatic fanfare such an event might otherwise merit. Out of respect for that I wished him well and figured I should simply be grateful for the jewel that he was while he was here.
Bullshit. Stepping back from it now this obviously is not the case and it needs to be shown to Bigger - by all of us - that we are better than that, and that he, as well as his many friends and devotees here deserve better than that.
So instead of a PM I’m saying it here, out loud:
Bigger, please reconsider. You owe it to yourself and your unrivaled position to step back into the fold and resume your role as leader. Men of your quality possess the character to see beyond whatever conflict this arises from. I am convinced you have it within you to step above this.
You are not like other people, therefor you are not granted the same luxuries others enjoy.
I honestly don’t think you have a clear grasp of what you mean to people here. What you do and how you do it holds an immense amount of relevance for literally thousands of men. I know for a fact that I am not alone, and it is not overstating matters, when I say that I carry within me - deep inside of me - your example, and I will for the rest of my life.
Your brilliant ideas and posts will be here for us to absorb in your absence, so take all the time you need, but please don’t take with you the shining example of what it is to be a man of great character and indefatigable will.
This is not you Bigger; it is not us. You are - we all are - bigger and better than this.
