Hmmmm . . . . .

I've read your posts and I've never found anything offensive about any of them. It's like Thinker says, you can't please everyone all the time. If people find your posts offensive, it says more about them than it does about you.

If you do decide to leave us, just understand that you're giving these people the power to push you out. There should never be that many people who have this kind of power in your life.

I hope you stay, but if we don't hear from you again, I wish you all the best.

Huh? I can't say that I understand your stated reason for leaving, but there are certainly lots of good reasons for taking a break from this place (whether short- or long-term or permanent). Perhaps it just feels like a good time for you to do that for numerous reasons.

The people with whom you've forged friendships will no doubt continue to be your friends after you leave (hey; there's always Facebook...lol).

Best of luck to you, and especially in finding the love you seek.

Nightling,
I enjoy your posts and even if I don't read them the way you wrote them it still is an addition to the boards that I value. I'm sure most if not all of my posts are misinterpreted or just downright loathed but I am too full of myself and my value as a human to just go away because of it. I like to imagine that every snarky comment made about one of my posts is just another example of why I should keep on posting - a great need to expose people to alternate ideas is obvious in the attacks. And maybe you would miss coming here too much - it is as addicting as chocolate-peppermint nip ple cream!

It has come to my attention from a rather prominent person here that a majority of members here have experienced many of my posts as condescending and arrogant or as a different person put it cold and unemotional.
Let's just assume for a brief moment that this 'prominent person' actually knows what 'a majority of members' have experienced (and, while I may not be as 'active' a community member as most, I can assure you, no one has asked me for my opinion and I haven't seen a public poll anywhere on the topic, so I can only surmise that this 'prominent person' does, in fact, NOT know *my* experience) ...

...so what?? Why do you care what others think of your posts? Were your posts, to the best of your knowledge and experience, good advice to the person you were advising? Did you ever, even once, make a statement that was intended to lead someone down a path you knew would be damaging to that person?

nightling wrote :
If you are reading this as someone who felt that way about a post I made, then I merely wish to say, I am sorry I made you feel bad.
Who are you here for, Night? ...those 'other people'? ...or yourself? Never, ever, apologize for having an opinion.

After giving this some consideration and thought, I am going to take my leave of this place.
Do what ya gotta do, I suppose, but my personal opinion is that you are doing this for the wrong reasons. Lord knows, I've taken breaks from this site for my own personal sanity, but never because of what I thought someone thought about me. That's just giving a total stranger control over your life and it's crazy-talk.

...but, as I said, do what you feel is right for you. Perhaps, someday, you will find your way back.

For the record, I'm not here to make anyone 'feel good' about themselves ...and, so, for anyone who doesn't 'like' me or 'like' what I post, please feel free to PM me or start a public thread with your opinion. I need a good laugh today.

Who will listen to me? Who will keep me from feeling like the lone voice of sanity in an insane world? Why, God, why???

Sorry. Theatre person, remember.
I imagine this occurred because someone in a position of self-assumed authority told you that a nameless band of others found some of your posts offensive and insulting. So? If I don't cause someone to occasioanally think about something that is difficult or uncomfortable for them, then I am not doing my job.

Stick around. For the good guys.

Nightling...

I know that sometimes I feel like I need to run from here and never come back...but that even a short a break is enough to get me recharged, and missing the the things about this place that I really enjoy.

I sincerely hope that this is the case for you as well, and that we see you posting back here soon. Take good care of yourself.
