I hope she does, but wouldn't be surprised if she left.

Either way...

You are fabulous, FireMoon! Hope you know that we know that. !!!!!!

Scandalous Webmaster was slanderous, but yeah, normally I would have just let that roll off my back.

She said "scandalous/webmaster"

With a slash.

Which I interpreted as, "scandal that the webmaster is embroiled in" with no moral judgment attached. There was a scandal and you were there, so this was just accurate.

Anyway.

Thanks for offering to reverse her banning. I appreciate that.

What do you mean here? Not sure if I'm not understanding it because it's an American idiom or because I don't understand your comment altogether. I think it is the latter. Please explain, if you don't mind.

It means that you say enough to not cross that line and get banned. You stop before going too far. Quite expertly, I must say.

It was referencing her reaction to DF as being caused by vibes she was getting from me before she read the thread, so I view it differently, but I did overreact.

Thanks! I truly don't like to be mean or offend. It takes a looooooooooot for me to reach that point. Besides, I've been here since June and well, this is the 1st time you really "feel my presence" in the waters of turmoil here in LL. Isn't that so?

Correct. And I don't think you are a bad person. If I'm not getting heat and criticism, then I'm not leading. I don't mind it at all. I take WELL-MEANING criticism as a gift. It allows for introspection, as Faith has mentioned, and it gives me opportunity for Growth.

If only you had made HER the mod. Her discernment and wisdom is beyond her years. It would have benefitted all who participate in the forums she oversaw.

Well, Faith the position has been filled. We don't always get what we want...

I don't plan on ever stepping on toes or making anyone who posts here feel uncomfortable. I am still a person with feelings and compassion. I'm not a robot. I'm a rational person and will use my rationality if I feel its needed.

Imo that's quite beneficial here.

I appreciate being given the honor.

So how about we move forward and let go of the drama. Let's not get this thread closed too.

I have learned soooooo much from being a Mod that it is unbelievable. I use it in my everyday life all the time. It really, really helps you to get out of your shell and is a great ego reducer. Our egos, as humans, are really our problem, for all of us. Being a Mod puts you in a position where you are called upon to face your own ego. It is very, very hard but I could not be doing what I am doing now without it. You learn tools and these tools are tools for a good life!

You are so very welcome, Barbie dear. I feel the same way about you

I just was just thinking of something else.

It seemed like you grew up in a home similar to mine. I was scared to death to make a mistake.

I remember I went to my cousin's house. My mother's sister was his mother but she was an amazing mother.

I was so afraid that we were going to make her mad. When we played with our toys, I told him not to make a mess or his mother would be mad.

When we ate our lunch, I told him not to play with his food or his mother would be mad.

Meanwhile, his mother was not mad at all. She calmly told us to pick up our toys etc

I was always afraid of anger and of making mistakes.

When I came on here, I made many mistakes and apologized several times but the main point was that Randall never threw me away.

I had never had that experience before.

I had never had someone on my side while I screwed up.

That acceptance allowed me to grow if I could say HOW I did, it was that.

Sure sounds like we did.

My mom has a very short fuse, she's mad in the blink of an eye, most of time over the smallest thing.

When I was younger I too was terrified of making mistakes. I'm the oldest and have always felt like I was center stage. I was always the example, and it didn't help that I'm the only girl. I remember people getting annoyed or upset with me because I apologized too much and for any wrong doing that I felt I'd done. I was too hard on myself, and strived to be perfect. No one is perfect.

Both of my parents were too young and I always felt like I ruined their lives. They both dropped out of college after having me, they split up not much longer after having me. I know I shouldn't feel responsible but I can't help feeling that way. It's a lot to hold on one's shoulders, especially when your young. But I'm here and feel very blessed. I'm proud of how far I've come. I still learn new things about myself like everyone else.

Randall is a great person, with a kind heart. We are all very lucky to have him as our leader. He could be callous, rude and/or down right nasty and he's not. He's not perfect, he's a person who runs a site that can get pretty ugly at times. We all are entitled to off days. I wish more saw it this way.

It's beautiful that you were able to find LL and that it's helped you grow. I know what's it like to feel so affraid and am truly happy for you.

Oh and DF relayed your message and I really appreciate that soo much. If it happens, which I'm really hoping it doesn't but I'm sure it will, I promise you'll be among the first that I reach out to.

I hope teasel doesn't mind our sharing, Barbie. For me, I have seen how so much of my thinking was wrong such as that I was nothing if I was not perfect or that I was so "selfish" that I had to hide in shame.

Now, it is time to cast off those old ideas. I feel they have been entrenched for so long but they are not REAL.

What is REAL is that God loves us so much.

I am trying to leave behind the old entrenched thinking and move to this new place.

My goals in life are personal ones like this. I don't have any more mountains to climb with career or material things.

I want to love myself and know that God doesn't make junk.

I want to know that I am flawed and it is OK.

I want to know that others are flawed and that is part of the human condition too.

I want to have my ego reduced enough that I can be free to let myself be seen and known for who I am.

That is intimacy.

I want to be able to give love because that is the beauty in life.

I guess I needed to hear myself talk lol

Back to LL, LL was the first step in all of this and it will always be a community that is a true home for me.

I hope so too, sorry, Teasel if we're upsetting you. That was never the motive.

Beautiful, inspiring words, Ami. If only others felt that way.

You'll get there it just takes time and patience.

Giving and receiving love is the greatest feeling.

I missed it. Probably best that I did, from the look of the icon.

I don't mind the thread veering off-topic. I only created it, because another thread was closed, so I couldn't respond.

Its okay Teasel, it was meant for me, whatever it was.

Anyways, thanks for making the thread Teasel. I think this would be a good spot for anyone who has dealt with the struggle to discuss sensitive issues (not referring to LL stuff) things in life that are burdensome. Or at least a space for support and coping.

DF, when you come back (I assume you might be taking a break from here..?) just give us an update on everything. Take care.

It's not okay but... Oh well, people make mistakes I guess.

I second Bella Do keep us all posted and informed on how you're doing and feeling, DF. Don't be gone too long though, for real.

Sorry for the mix up or confusion. I thought earlier posts glitched and deleted themselves, which is why I said nevermind and that I got confused.

I wasn't targeting anyone or talking **** . Why would I?

Happy Holidays.
