It's Been Fun, but . . .

[oregontocal]

I do not intend to post or read anything on this forum any longer. Although it's been fun and I've enjoyed being a member, several recent cruel comments from others have convinced me that this is not the place to hang out any longer. If anyone would like to communicate with me, I'm on Facebook.

Well, even if you don't read this, I will say that I bit my tongue for several of your threads because I didn't want to offend anyone, including you. But when you post things to stir up a forum that I love, just for the heck of it, I don't like that and I will probably get thrown off for saying I don't like that, but it's like picking on my family and I don't like that either. I'll go if I'm told to.

What? You're gonna play the victim here?
You were laughing about your ability to have stirred the pot and gotten everyone riled up.
No need to get all self-righteous.

Vicki, I agree with you and Mitch.

[kelpie]

YEP. Just went and read that thread ... singed my eyebrows. I frankly have never seen ANYTHING so ugly on this site ... on all sides. I put in a little $.02 myself early on and left, but it then it got out of hand. I want to say that ANY of you could have put down your arms, rather than continue to fight. It didn't have to escalate like that.

I am upset.

Janice I concur; didn't singe my eyebrows quite, but did upset my stomach...was simply heart wrenching to read that train wreck as it progressed. I try to read all as they are intended - openly, as time and time again there is opportunity for misinterpreation of ones intentions when relayed in written format versus verbal. I am saddened greatly by this all.

OMG! What did I miss? I was only gone for 10 days or so. Oh, I hope we aren't going to have yet another crisis on a forum? Let's all take a DEEP breath!

Chris I truly hope you change your mind and don't leave.

Tempers have a habit sometimes of getting out of line. But over time they calm down and things get better. And this needs time to settle down and go away. Let it die and become buried in the catacombs of old postings. Please.

There have been some few nasty snide, side comments directed towards me lately and I have not said a word about. I CHOOSE not to comment on them because the trouble and grief it would cause simply isn't worth it. I brush them off and go about my life. I don't comment on them here and I choose not to comment on them in PM's either. Just not worth my time.

Please reconsider.

Come on everyone, enough is enough. Please no more arguing or fighting over that thread!!! PLEASE
