I do wish you'd reconsider, Rose. No one else has the same eclectic musical taste as me.

thank you all xx leave you with this , for all of you xx

THE PROPHET Kahlil Gibran

- FRIENDSHIP

And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."

Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."

And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.

For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?

Seek him always with hours to live.

For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Morning Rose,

I have not been around much lately and never go on chat.

I am really very sorry to read that you are leaving.

I agree with Maz, take a break, then come back.

Lindy xx

Take care, Rose. :-))

I briefly saw a thread on Chat last night, and couldn't believe the "conversations" going on there. Blimey, after all the disasters going on in this world!

So I posted just one word: Burma. Just to try and get folk to put things in perspective.

It was ignored.

So I just let them get on with their bickering. Anyway, I can understand why you're going. Again, take care, you.

Rose, so sorry to see you go, you shouldn't be in a position that you feel the need to and it really is about time that GR had full time moderators to stop any nasty comments developing...see you on the other sites

Rose, I'm really sorry that you have been treated so badly. I sympathise - I find it very hard to ignore being unfairly treated, and I hardly ever venture on here these days in case people who have been very unkind to me have another go.

Although you will be missed, I can confirm that there is indeed life beyond GR and I wish you well!

Mandy :) x

I am sorry to read that you have been hounded, Rose.

I agree with others - try just taking a break for a while.

However, if you are determined not to post again, nor to renew later in the year, then I shall say it has been a pleasure to have "spoken" here with you

Oh heck! I wasn't going to post again was I?! lol but now I have to.....

Just to say thank you so much for your good wishes and kind words.

I also just wanted to say to those who 'encouraged' my leaving and who are bound to read this ...You haven't 'won', you have merely played your game to it's conclusion with me and that is a different thing entirely. I hope that now you will draw a line under the past events and let the boards be fun for the sake of others.

I wish I was the type to ignore the goading lol....I know some can and I admire their restraint and calmness under fire . But sadly that is not me, lol.


Take care all and keep in touch....(I will reply to PMs received last night as soon as I can xx ) , thanks to you all,

((((hugs))))

love, Rose xx

Hi Rose
Im sorry to see you go , but after witnessing the names you have been called then i dont blame you, how can you not retaliate when you have been hounded so badly .
I wish i could sit on my hands when they start but like you its hard.
i for one wont sit and watch and not say anything when people are being so nasty to you and others .
Take care Rose, perhaps you should just have a little rest then surprise us all and come back .
Rosex

very sorry to read this Rose, I too have seen you attacked over the last few days and can understand how fed up with it you must be.

have a break, enjoy 'real' life for a week or two, then come back to us and rise above these sad cases! they really aren't worth it.

Maz. XX

Rose I saw some of the hounding and baiting of you that went on last night. I understand why you have chosen to leave, although I am very very sorry that you have been put into the position of making that choice. Your warmth, wit, intelligence and fair mindedness I will miss very much.

Good luck in your move, and a toast for you... Good luck, fair winds, and may love and happiness always sail with you.

Love

Oh Rose - this is a real shame ..............


I have to agree with what Elaine says - don't bite and they will get bored ..........


Stay on Gen instead of Chat - we have our moments but they are far fewer these days and for the most part we all look out for each other :O))


You can't go after I gave you that lovely name :O(

Oh Rose....I have watched with despair the hounding of you on the Chat Board.

I am so sorry to see you go but fully understand why you have had enough.

Life is far too short to get het up about things and people that don't matter one little bit in the scheme of things.

I will miss your fairhandedness and your intelligence on these boards.

Good luck to you and I hope the move goes well.

Jean x.

Ah sorry to see you are going Rose.
I haven't been on much for a while.
But I will miss seeing you about.
Why not have a break then see how you feel.
whatever you decide.
Take Care

Rose, I am sad that you are letting them win. I had thought you a stronger person than that. However, I do understand but I have to say the boards will be a poorer place without you.

I hope your move goes off OK and that you will have a happy life

Take care
