Mrs. Mouse, Carol, please reconsider.
I only follow a few topics, because it's just too many posts, but I know you are a well respected member of this forum and I'd hate to see you leave because of what's been going on lately.
I come here almost every day for over a year now. I was here yesterday, I am here today and I will be here tomorrow...
Look at it this way: shit happens. In every community. It can't be a rose garden all the time. Simple because we are all people. And people become friends, but they also argue from time to time.
And when shit happens, you can speak your piece or go offline and do something you enjoy and keep your mind of things. Don't let the fighting get you down. Just go with the flow.... like my son would say: chill..
When I joined, the forum had over 400 members. No it's over 800... things change.
But... things will calm down and get better. Put your trust in R. and the mods here. Like R said in his new rules: this is not a democracy.
R and his mods will see to it that everyone sticks to the rules.
It's a heck of a job, but they're doing a fine job and will continue to do so.
So please reconsider?
Guppie
