"...truly do retire..." Don't make me laugh, Professor Cry Baby........ Mystic's a proven phony (his fave word these days) it seems now. 
 
Case in point: Retire. Comes back. Retires (Again). Comes back (again). He's like my ex-wife....can't make up his fuckin' mind on even the simplest of things. 
 
My question would be (for him OR anyone else) 
"retiring" from the community or a singular forum (such as our beloved National Political Forum): WHY on earth would you feel it necessary to even make an announcement of such a thing?
 
Bottom line....when you get down to it, NOBODY CARES if you walk away from the Hobby (or a chat room) or not. If you're gonna leave then simply do so....
Just Walk Away. 
 
And do it while maintaining some semblance of dignity; with zero fanfare. It seems so self serving to create a post / thread and make an announcement: "Hey...Look At Me. I'm Retiring. (Everyone's gonna miss my Pearls of Wisdom, ain't they?)"
