Goodbye my dear friends

[piskieinboots]

I have had such fun here over the last five years and made some really good friends and gained much help and support over difficult times.

However, (there's always an 'however' isn't there!) having two threads closed/pulled/sent to the other side in the last twenty four hours is a bit much to bear.

One of the Mods says 'I have spent too much time on this already' - I thought Mods gave their time freely as do those of us to support a forum, surely a forum is only as good as the members! Maybe I wasn't a good member

I am blinking well sad to have to make this move, but clearly given my last two postings being closed/pulled/sent to the other side - I am not welcome here

I wish you all the very best that I can muster

MODS - can you please arrange to remove my account - thank you.

If there was a don't like button I would press it.

It's a sad day.

But we have our own other side.

Don't go.....have a break....then come back.........please!

[piskieinboots]

Thanks Newton and Donna - however, I can't see how a break would help given that my last two posts have been culled by Mods.

I don't feel I can post anything at all now without being slapped down - and I do believe I am one of the light-hearted-up-for-a-larf posters. I find it difficult to respect the Mods when they culled two posts that had great following and fun in them - where does that take us?

I know, and appreciate, that their job is a tough one - I always respected that ....it seems the same respect was not afforded to me.



ETA: you will probably see 'banned' next to my name very shortly

[Tam]

You will be missed.

[piskieinboots]

Thank you Tam

Seriously hun, what's with the dramatics? If we had this every time someone closed or unapproved a thread, we'd have a board jam-packed with 'where's my thread?' posts... Chillax dude.

[cardiffsteve]

Suzie, You cant go.
Take some time and think about it.


NOBODY WANTS YOU TO GO NOT EVEN THE MODS

[piskieinboots]

seriously hun, what's with the dramatics?

lol

[chris]

I'm with Newton - take a break and come back

Perhaps being a newbie here I missed some things. But the last three threads I've seen from you have seemed a little... argumentative? Perhaps immature? Anywho, I'm sure you'll be missed and wish you all the best

[VirginVegGrower]

Comments if personal, are libelous and there are legal ramifications that fall upon a mod's shoulders in trying to protect you and the forum hosts. I don't believe it's personal, but I never saw the original thread, so can only comment from the point of view of marketing legalese.

Perhaps you have!

As I said - online is never the best place to judge people and I certainly wouldn't make a judgement as quickly as you have!

[Uber-Uncool]

As a former moderator of often 'volatile' forums and a forum member here and elsewhere, i understand what both entail.

Unfortuntely on some forums it does seem that there is little tolerance for dissent against 'generally conveyed opinion' and diversity of opinion.

Do what is best for you. Maybe you just need a bit of time away from here, or maybe it is the right thing for you for now, but i would advise against making any immediate decision because you are probably (and in my opinion, justly) cross and hurt and bewildered at the moment.

And just think on...you weren't the only one to post in those threads. I dare say there are some who read your posts and nodded in agreement, but for whatever reason, chose not to comment.

Oh please don't start arguing with me. I simply gave my opinion of how the threads came across. It's nothing personal about you as I don't know you.
