Leaving and never coming back
From RationalWiki
Leaving and never coming back is an internet euphemism whereby a frustrated participant in a forum, or blog, or whatever, takes away their ball and refuses to play. (Sometimes after grandly declaring "victory".)
Most people who do this, actually do come back, thus destroying their previous ultimata.
We have a few people on RW who love to play this game, some of whom have interacted with us and "retired" and "left to never come back" oh, several dozen times. In the thrall of Headless chicken Mode,[1] even long term highly active editors have been known to succumb to this syndrome.
