A "given" is that not everyone will get on with everyone else.

It has always been the case, and always will be.

One of the reasons I created this place is to let people who need help speak their minds. And sometimes that upsets people

Today I received this email from a very dear friend. He is a frined who I have known for some time has issues in phrasing things to be at all times sensitive. Like all of us he has perfect hindsight. And like many of us he is perfectly capable of digging a bigger hole when tryng to extract hoimself for causing an upset

The email is in the first reply.

So, who will cast the first stone?

A parting letter.....

It has become painfully apparent that my opinions, question, queeries, or otherwise attentions are not welcome at the "Place of Safety".

While for the most part, participants here place their personal issues on the table for disection it is clear that not all issues are welcome.

Has it ever occured to anyone at all here that being poingnantly direct just might be one of the issues I am trying to deal with.

Have now always liked some things Marc had to post. When I did have a problem, I went to Marc and told him why. We would discuss it, and come to an understanding, or agree to disagree. I hold no grudge, no malice, and would absolutly hate to see him leave.

Even some of my replies to him, I have regrettied posting in the moment of anger. Then after a little thought, I soon realized that I was guilty of the very thing I hope for for myself, just to be included. If we disagree, say so, lets clear the air.

All families argue, or even fight. But then we should kiss and make up. So I am asking my family here and now, kiss and make up. Please.

Marc is one of us. Brash at times, maybe. But he still needs our support. When you don't agree, tell him. Just don't do in when you angry like I did. You will regret it later.

Be a family that unites us ALL.

Please. If not for me, do it for timmy. Do it for Marc.

Please.

A friend of Marc's,
Kevin

.....I'm just a kid, but maybe if you take my hand, something that I don't understand will be a little clearer. You never know when your words are needed.

Well said Kevin.

And Marc?
Please don't leave! Differences of opinion do NOT mean you are hated or even disliked... quite the opposite; the hotter the disscusion the more love there is. of course if not controlled, the heat could sear but that's not the issue here.

look up previous threads that you have posted and look me in the server (eye) and tell me you're not loved!

Hey Marc. You trusted me with a certain pic and the tale of a personal and heart felt nature. I have never forgotten that and I never will. I thought then and still think now that you are a VERY brave person. Please dont leave ok??

Also, the threat of the Roo Mafia is REAL. They know America pretty well and CAN make house calls ya know?? Smile Hugs Marc.
