Goodbye and best wishes

[Pumpkin Becki]

I have unfortunately been repeatedly misunderstood on this forum and can only blame my writing style for this, as the sentiment is not meant in the way it is being read or interpreted.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here, but now feel very uncomfortable about my postings and how they come across. I don't want to upset people and I certainly don't want to put off new members, and so I have decided to bid you all a fond farewell.

(Tammy, I shall PM you about the seed swap in a moment)
Take care
Becki xx

Becki,
I for one have never taken offence at anything your have written, and do hope you will reconsider.

[Alison]

Can't think of anything you've said that I've found offensive or in anyway a problem. There are several people I have no time for on this site but you are not one of them and anyway, they're as entitled to their oppinions as anybody else anyway so I just tend to avoid their threads rather than the full site. Not always easy but I find it's a way I can still get some gardening advice.

[Nicos]

WHAT?????

Oh no...don't go..I think you're fun!!!......don't leave me here with this lot!!!

There are all 'types' of peeps on here- hat's what make us such a good forum.
We need your contribution...seriously ...just carry on and avoid anyone who you may feel you're in conflict with

[piskieinboots]

Hold on there gal - you have never caused offence to me in any of your writtings, I do hope you reconsider.

[HeyWayne]

I concur. Stay where you are - maybe do as I have and cut back a bit. As per Alison's post, just ignore those that maybe upset you. I think there is actually an ignore button somewhere...

Don't miss out on seeing Bean grow on here!

[FionaH]

Dont do it! I think I know the thread your referring to, I just responded on there myself. Its all part of a healthy debate. Certainly not a personal issue!

Don't be daft - I love the Kent peeps on here as it reminds me of home.

One swallow does not make a summer...

[piskieinboots]

...think there is actually an ignore button somewhere...

does that mean we wouldn't see the commet of the annoying poster? now that's a cool idea although it could make for confusing posts.

[BrideXIII]

it definitely was NOT a personal issue, and wasn't just your post either, i certainly wouldn't want you to leave over it!!
besides, you explained, and it sounded perfectly reasonable to me and everyone else.
Forums like emails can be very impersonal, and what we ALL type can sometimes come across other than we meant it .

Don't be daft girl,
I spend my life being misunderstood - it is no reason not to get stuck in. If people are silly enough to take offence at something they have mistaken, then that's their oversensitivity that is the problem, not you.
I belong to another forum (out of some necessity) and they are actually, out and out rude there. They tend towards judgemental and self righteousness. I have never detected that in any of your postings.
Stay, Nicos is right - it takes (and needs) all sorts.

[Flummery]

Please, Becki, don't go. There's always someone who'll misinterpret anything you say. Don't let them get up your nose!

[lynda66]

nnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooo dont go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[piskieinboots]

Lynda dear - could you reduce some of that text please, it has stretched the box off my screen and almost into my garden.

I think PB has got the idea that you don't want her to go

[tootles]

Well Lynda seems fairly ambivilent about things today...........
