Just so you all know, I have put a temporary lock on a thread to allow us a small distance from any danger of fighting again. In seven days, if THAt thread is required, then a message here ON OR AFTER THAT DAY will get me to open the other one. Nothing else will reopen it.

I will be back after some time has passed. I will refuse to participate in any fighting. It's just not my bag.

See you all soon (I hope)

That you remain and add your voice to the rebuilding of trust and humility here. But I won't try to insist. It seems to me that we need the quiet voices a great deal right now.

How does friendship work when you come back and then go? How do we make things work when you stay and then leave? jams :-/

I am not going anywhere. I just want to know that a post I make will not me lashed out at. Now a dear friend who I care for more than he knows told me I was critical. Maybe I have, if so I am sorry for that. I don't want to provoke, even if unintentionally.

Rob I applaud your efforts lately. I support your trying to be better and I will try to help in any way I can. I have never had anything but my friends in mind when I spoke of our troubles of late.

Please smith understand that I would not leave, I would just do what I can to make it better. Our other friend, has told me that I am not being logical. Maybe he is right, (oh it makes me cringe when that same friend says stuff like this, but he usually is right) so I will try again. But I am afraid. I am afraid to be the target in public. Attacks in private hurt no one but me, that I can deal with. I don't want my friends hurt anymore, and I will do whatever I can to prevent it. I will make mistakes. I will try with your help and others not to provoke or hurt, that was never my intent.

This is my olive branch, though it seems quite a feeble and wilted one to some. I will try.

I am not quite sure what the answer is. I will make mistakes. I sit here, struggling more than I ever have before. I know in my heart that leaving solves nothing. I know that staying may hurt someone if I provoke another outburst. I am afraid. I want to do right by my family and I am not sure how. I am scared.

Please forgive me my future mistakes and, as my friends, point them out to me so I can improve.

Twice in one day I am a mess. I need to wash my face now.

I really do think of you as family.

Kevin

Kevin,

Just like all of us here, not one of us want to see another person harmed.

Being yourself is the best possible solution.

Helpful and caring.... and all from the heart....

What more can a friend ask for.....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Kevin, I'm glad you are staying I've never talked with you outside of the board but it is very big of you to say what you just said. You have said so many things that I applaud but lately I haven't been able to reply to much of anything (for personal reasons), reading your posts give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'm glad that you are here and that you think of us as family.
