Hi Lynn,

so true and it would be a shame to lose any more. I don't get on with everyone and don't expect everyone to get on with me, but if I see an interesting thread I hope to be able to add to it without any hassle, which to date I have never experienced ( hassle I mean :-)). I have only had one upsetting experience on here which was probably due to my own naivety/inexperience with 'chat' rooms.

Early this morning, for the first time, I felt embarrassed at being a member. Just one person did this, a lady who posted her views early hours this morning, on her own thread. At first I didn't know what to say or think, because much of what she wrote was her view of Gr and threads, which was quite valid. As I had never seen her before, and looking at things through her eyes I felt embarrassed. ( edited slightly in case of misinterpretation :-))

After thinking for some time though, I answered her and hope that I speak for all in what I have written on her thread.

Update: it wasn't a contentious thread.

Our lady of wisdom speaks once again...
listen well.....

thanks Lynn.xxxx

Nice Lynn, and I do agree.

we all stopped and took stock of things, When i see good people, long standing members, and friends, say they are staying away and are so disheartened, it makes me so sad and i suppose angry,

we all have differences, we all have folk we dont get on with, or dont like for whatever reason, no-one is perfect, we all have our little faults and bad days, when we want to kick the cat, but civility, good manners and a little thought for others feelings does go a long way you know,

Im not asking for it always to be sunshine and smiles on here, thats impossible, we are all so different, and we each have our own thoughts and views, but how we conduct ourselves can very often diffuse a delicate situation

I have just read that Guinevere is thinking of staying away, and that to me is a huge loss to this board, I call her the " voice of reason " what a loss to us all, these lovely folks dissapearing

Please lets be kind to each other, or if thats not possible agree to disagree and move on


i found this quote and wanted to share it, it makes a lot of sense to me

“Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices no more easily made. And give, give in any way you can, of whatever you posses. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.”
