Not that it'll matter to anybody, but I'm leaving this site. While the boards are busy arguing over what can be posted or not on admin and talking about what colors your walls are painted, the people who need support are not getting it.
How sad. Or maybe it's just that y'all are sick of me. So be it. This site has changed for the worse since I came here a few months ago. So many people are leaving and now I'm joining them.
I wish you all well and that someday you will find the happiness you are looking for. And for those of you that have supported me in the past, I thank you!!!

I cannot believe that a lighthearted post on SOCIAL about colors can get taken negatively, but that just shows how different we all can be.
I have supported you in the past, and I would have tried to now if you would have let me, but instead of letting me, you attacked me (and very rudely-I might add)in an email. And yet, after all that I am still here posting - asking you to rethink your leaving. You have gotten support here in the past, and just because you can't see it right now through the darkened depression glasses, I hope you realize that soon - before it's too late, or you do something that no one wants you to do.

Will you please email me here: kiddokid1@yahoo..com (just remove one dot)
You are so right about what you said on admin, and I allowed myself to get sucked into it all. For that I'm deeply sorry and hope you'll forgive me.
Thanks for pointing out how selfish I've been.

Angel,
I've been trying to keep silent on Admin, only lapsed once...! Because I feel my voice isn't necessary or needed, and my own issues are under control for the most part.
I hate to see you be so upset, over what you perveive to be squabbling. Some people are taking the accusations to heart, and some are really trying to say: the board is floundering, and we are concerned. There is one person who baits others, and it hurts, because the site was helpful and necessary to a lot of us... Now it's just a hollowed-out wreck of what it used to be.
I see peope really trying on Social to get on with it; I myself posed a problem the other day on this board. It's hard. Certain players are gone, and the site is struggling for an identity and a purpose.
But this need not have anything to do with you. If you post here, rather than on Admin, you will stand a good chance of getting support. You have several e-mails of people who have flat-out told you that they DO care, and here's mine:
kolepp at ivillage dot com
(written this way so it doesn't get picked up by web crawlers, hope you get it...)
If you put all of us on your e-mail list, you can write to us, and probably get answers and support equally well. Hope this is helpful, you deserve as much support as you can get, and if there's a blip on the screen from PB, then you have other avenues to utilize here...
Please accept my apologies for not being more attentive...
Wendy

Hey posting twice is my trick.
You know, I'm sorry if I've inadvertantly contributed to the "denigration" of the board.
It was completely unintentional.
I really feel horrible for Lou. In his own way he may have been reaching out as desperately as the rest of us, and trying to help as well.
We all have our quirks and foibles that seem unfathomable to others.
I don't think anyone is able to determine why their own are somehow more acceptable than someone else's. I didn't see many of his posts, but certainly none the ones I did see were actively cruel to someone else, that to me is about the only thing someone should be vilified for.

Angel, here is another view of your comments:
I come and go often, for the past 2-1/2 or so years in fact. I don't say "here I am" or "goodbye", I just lurk in then creep out. If I like what's happening, I stick around; if not, I'm gone.
Contrary to other opinions, I like the discussions more now than ever in the past. I find the people friendlier. I always felt left out more in the past and less so now.
Here's an idea why I like it more now: If you want or need support, ask and you'll get it. We can't read minds, especially over the internet. There's more humor now and less whining: humor really is the best medicine, even though it is a sour pill to take when you're depressed.
Where do you work? What do you do? What colors are your rooms painted? Why don't women make the first move? These are just simple meaningless discussions which often lead into more serious discussions. Sometimes, like the mangos, they lead to less serious, even silly, discussions. That's the humor again. Try starting a frivolous thread and see what happens. You might be surprised. You might get some free support without even asking.
Good luck, whether leave or stay.
