I have noticed a distressing trend of late of people who get fed up with Daily Kos, or its posters, or its perceived problems, or all of the above, and leave in a blaze of glory with a "Goodbye, Cruel World" diary to announce their displeasure. These diaries must take a great deal of time to write, and no doubt take up much of the posters' newly found post-Kos spare time.
Therefore, as a public service to Kossacks around the globe, here is a handy fill-in-the-blanks template for a "Goodbye, Cruel World" diary. Just choose the answers that suit you best, or fill in your own!
( ) Unfortunately
( ) Thankfully
( ) Angrily
( ) Resentfully
( ) Belatedly
