Do you officially announce BSD is dying?

"The Trailhead Queen was dead. At first, there was no overt sign that her
long life was ending: no fever, no spasms, no farewells. She simply sat on
the floor of the royal chamber and died. As in life, her body was prone
and immobile, her legs and antennae relaxed. Her stillness alone failed to
give warning to her daughters that a catastrophe had occurred for all of
them. She lay there, in fact, as though nothing had happened. She had
become a perfect statue of herself."

Now what do you say? Is this trolling?
It's your wish,
and if you dislike being good to BSD, then bye.
Not gonna b somewhere where all hate doing good.
Going away before losing respect is something better.
Finally say: if this is wanted or not, simply, and then let
toredhiddenuser exit.
Thank you for reading this anyway.
