I have gotten more information and friendship here than I have gotten from the "visible" folks in my life and I hope that I have offered the same to others. I agree that an announcement that you are leaving is rather dramatic and may stir up controversy. I enjoy my time on the forums, have been a member for close to a year now and while I do not have the time or inclination to post alot, I do post if I have something that I feel might be relevant or helpful to the poster, I do not come here to deride anyone nor offend anyone. If I received a nasty PM, I would simply ignore it unless it impinged my character or my morals. I consider the lot of you friends, some closer than others. In my opinion, the lot of this is a tempest in a teapot, to coin a phrase. |
very well put. I think on the most part..sometimes it's a misunderstanding.. some people read things differently than others.. what might be insulting to me, might not be for you, etc.
I have gotten comments on posts of mine, that I thought were insulting, but probably they didn't.. and when I would post a new topic, they would comment again.. I did my part and forward it to admin and he took care of it.
I think instead of just having a goodbye thread and stirring more controversy, to keep it between you, the nasty PM'er and the admin..
