I have been active on Insectnet when Clark Thompson was just getting started. For the most part I have enjoyed my time here on Insectnet. I exposed my personal life here on Insectnet and my collecting activities as well. I have answered numerous emails requesting information on how, why, when, where and who. And for the most part I responded to almost every email.
The only true mistake I made was exposing my personal life. AND, some of my poor attempts at humor.
If I have offended any of you. I truly am sorry. Please accept my apologies.
I have talked this over with Missy and Misty, my two Kitties, and they are on total agreement with me. It is time for me to go. Sayonara, see you around, Toottalou, Bye-Bye, See You Latter Alligator, I am out of here.
Sincerely,
Leroy C. Koehn
Lepidopterist extraordinaire

Never say never. I am glad to see that Leptraps owns cats after the post on animals he wouldn't consider consuming.

Leroy noted in an email that he was experiencing health issues.
I called him a short while ago and left a message. Hopefully he'll return the call soon.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

TOM Since I think it is only fair that all votes should be confidential I have added a poll at the top of this thread so members can vote anonymously. Adam. |

Another poll. I'm sure these are more accurate than what we're used to.
I voted for neutrality.
If Leptraps is feeling unwanted because of responses to his posts, I'd say leaving is a mistake. I have a giant political sign at my house,
on top of the roof, so it can't be vandalized... outside pressure needs resistance.
If it's some other personal issue, that might be different.
I think we were disheartened to see the back and forth between two persons that we all remember, it reminded me of a time years ago at work,
two guys got into a fight on the roof, and rolled off, one guy broke his leg just about in half, an 8' fall, the fight was started by one of the guys
and got out of hand. At the time, and I think others felt the same way, I wanted them both fired, in the end, the only guy that was fired was the
one who threw the first blow, not the guy who actually started the fight, I was there and saw the whole thing,along with other guys, I've never
seen anything like it except on tv.
So- that's my 2.5 cents.

I'll be frank regarding leptraps. I think he has a BIG mouth about a lot of very inappropriate subjects for a science related forum. He has been utterly rude and downright offensive to what MOST should consider humane decency. He has been a rogue member of the forum for a long time running; and as I have pointed out before he seems to think his yearly donation to the forum affords him "carte blanche" to say what bottom-dwelling thoughts come to his feeble mind.
Are we here to be entertained by some old man degenerate who constantly regresses to tasteless childish humor for a few supposed laughs ? Does any body really need to hear this fool's rants about his political views, holy-roller beliefs, abortion thoughts (which were quickly removed), or archaic and chauvinistic views of the opposite sex ?
Let's also not forget his braggart tendencies. Geez, seems like every time somebody posts a picture of a drawer of something they have ole'(hold me back I can't contain myself) has to instantly pipe-up and say oh' I've got 20 drawers of that stuff. Well, good for HIM but, he still can't take them with him and since he's SO AFRAID to ever show anyone anything more of what he has because (he claims he's just inundated with requests for trades or sales); then I suppose HE will be the only one to every appreciate what he has spent a lifetime attaining. That is other than the Mcquire center where his work is being donated upon his demise.
Just what it is about this arrogant, self righteous, egotistical, and to coin the term "ugly american"(for his demeanor) that attracts readers or followers is beyond me !
I call em' as I see them...

I find it highly inappropriate that there is any such poll concerning participation of a member.
The Ignore feature is available; if one desires not to read publications by another member, simply put them on Ignore.
Democracy is two wolves and one sheep voting about what's for dinner. Who wants to be the next sheep?
