I think you misunderstand, Midnyte. See, you posted a quote about how a gentleman doesn't point out others shortcomings, implying that the people to whom this message is directed aren't that type of person. Pointing out that defect in their character is what makes this whole post sort of ironic.

Absquatulate- v: to leave in a hurry, suddenly, and/or in secret
