It's amazing how people can turn on each other so quickly. I really just think I need a break from the "drama" of community. And as I said, I know I'm not valued like others are here. NO one would really care if I left (I'm sorry, that's not meant to sound like a pity party, It's really NOT!). But that's just how it is.

You say no one cares about you and I'm sorry you feel that way. I totally understand if you feel you need to leave for a while. Sometimes a walk around the block helps me too. I'm just trying to move on from this and hope you find a way to do the same. LP is a great community and like I said before that Chris and Pixie have talked and worked through it I hope helps you find a little sweetness and forgiveness in the sourness you're feeling right now.

There have been problems brewing for a long time. Lots insults. Lots of red ink. It makes the site frustrating and sometimes disturbing to read. Although I haven't had time to post, I have had time to read through most of the posts. I think most people are being pretty level-headed in their posting. Yes, there's a lot of emotion, but that's because people care about the LP community at large and are sick and tired a few people who are allowed to stay wreck havoc all the time. And I don't think thinks "spiraled out of control." I think they just came to a head.

This is especially important when other, more hostile threads are referenced in the topic. It might also be smart to not automatically defend someone's actions or behavior before finding out exactly what you are defending. Not buying the 'poor, widdle me' act one single bit. If that offends people and makes them hate me, oh well.

Please respect that and keep posts here on topic. Thank you.

You are worth a great deal to ME. Chicken, same to you. I know you are going on vacation, world traveler and all that sort of thing, but you had better be back here when you get back!!! Pixie, the public apology was not necessary, but well received. I am honored. Lisann, ReadingMom, Pixie and I have worked it out. I would like to say to you two that if I have offended you in any way, (and I have, and I know in what way) I apologize. Lulu, I am sure that I don't understand what you mean by "things will never be the same," but I hope that you change your mind on that. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you please tell me. Now that things seem somewhat resolved on this smaller issue, let's not mention the larger issue, and let's just live and let live.

Originally Posted By LuLu >>I don't understand what you mean by "things will never be the same,"<< I have totally lost respect for at least 1 person here, and I'm pretty shaky with a couple others. That's it. Too bad that people are sick and tired of one or two individuals. No excuse for posting demeaning comments, "sinking to their level" as Mom used to say. t1mom is the only one who seems to see it just as I do, tho others have kept their head and/or apologized, and I totally appreciate that. I'm sorry PG, I'm done now, you can have your thread back.

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Why, thank you, DVC_dad! I shall be sure to pass that along to Mr. Glitter so he knows how lucky he is--lol! And I happen to think DVC_mom has quite a catch herself. ;-)
Originally Posted By DVC_dad Lulu, I respect that. Is it ME? Is it that I have supposedly aligned myself with joe? Because that is what this is all about...working through all of that. So, who are you talking about? Well, I guess I don't expect you to come right out and give a name, but just at least tell me, if it's ME you are referring to.
Originally Posted By LuLu >>>Is it ME? <<< omg, NO!!!! I stand by everything I said to support you, and uphold civility to EVERYONE!!!! OK, I really have to check out now, I'm derailing the thread. You can email me.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck You know, I just wanted to mention really quick that I completely missed everything that happened (I just can't hang out on LP like I used to - I can't sit upright long enough) - I'm so confused at this point I give up (and from the sounds of it that's the best idea) - but I did want to mention really quickly that PixieGlitter is one of the most fabulous people I have ever had the pleasure to know and call my friend. I really admire the fact that whatever it was that occurred that her and DVC_dad (a great guy from what little I know & any friend of chickied's is a friend of mine) could discuss their issues like adults and come out still "friends" in the end. I'm really proud to know you both and wish more people would take the time to straigten things out sometimes. I hope that makes sense - my prego brain is getting less and less functional these days.

Originally Posted By mele Well, dang it, DVC, you go and be all nice. How can I compete with that?! ;-) I will apologize, also. I definitely need for you to know that I have never felt like you were a mean person or that you have have ever been hurtful to ANYONE on LP. I will also admit that your thread asking joe to come back to LP really irked me. It was all I could do to not post in that thread. Believe it or not, I didn't want to cause any trouble. I read and re-read your "spanking" thread over and over before replying. I did not see any humor in it. I took it as support for joe and a slam against others. I debated posting in it at all. As usual, I should have just closed my laptop instead of posting. It wasn't fair for me to assume that you had read all of his WE posts. He really is offensive. I hope that his treatment of ReadingMom will convince you that there are other sides to joe. I will also say that I will always have serious issues with anyone who reads his WE posts and still thinks he's a great guy. That feeling is never going to change.
