We could close it...we've done it before. I remember on 9/11 LL was closed in remembrance and while it was really hard for me not to be here, I did have to find something else to do with my time, including think about 9/11.Maybe a break for a few days. A week seems kind of long though. But maybe not. IP: Logged |

PlutoSquared- just let Zala be. Maybe someone else can convince her to remain a mod but unfortunately, the chances are very slim that the person will be you. Zala I'm really upset that you resigned as a mod. Highly upset. I'm a Mod merely for the fact that you believed I could be one. Drat! I can't believe how upset I am. Wow. I think I'm upset that you're upset. Yeah. I'm going to breathe now. Dramatic? Yeah, I may come of as so, but it's just that I feel deeply. IP: Logged |

firecracker, she wasnt asking any specific person to not attack her...she was just saying in general...and what your doing right now CAN qualify as an attack------------------ the better the chase, the better the reward IP: Logged |

Popcorn  Call! I am going on voluntary leave for 7 days. This experience has been uber draining. Randall, thanks for reinstating the deleted thread and for allowing people to present their side.

Yes. People need time to think by their self. Lindaland not manage much more. We must stop and take a paus. (Example) TEXT on first closed page that each one of us must think on how we could do the best in behaviour to each other to bring the best to the forum.REFLECTION to everybody IP: Logged |

I don't see firecracker or anyone else setting upon Ami with violent force or hostile criticism. Please examine your vocabulary for the use of imflammatory nouns, verbs and adverbs.firecracker ~ thanks sweetie  IP: Logged |

V don't you go getting all dramatic and riled up because that would totally domino. You know I'm an empath. My chest started puffing and everything. I think I'm upset that YOU'RE upset. I feel the righteousness building on your behalf. Just breathe. Good advice Deux. IP: Logged |

Nicki, have you read any of the posts here today about "Mods need to get used to criticism" and about "thicker skins"?? When you're in the position you are, there will BE criticism  And it's NOT an attack, it's criticism.IP: Logged |

Closing the site punishes all of the people who come here and stay out of the fray. They are trying to continue as normal. It's just a small minority involved in the scuffle. ------------------ "The earth is not given to us by our mothers and our fathers, it is borrowed from our children." IP: Logged |

ok...but for the sake of argument, a part of the definition that firecracker gave for "attack" is criticizm so she is being attacked, and i am just trying to defend her when she asked to NOT be attacked...and she was just asking people in general, she didnt point fingers------------------ the better the chase, the better the reward IP: Logged |
