Hey don't go, just learn to Duck and Weave and take your points of view to the limit.
I know the Moddies here are a bit stand offish and come only come down off their pedistal now and again even if it's only to go to the bath room:Mischievous:

Stick with it, don't let them get to ya:Shouting:

Talin, don't go, you are one of the cool ones! :(

PM me if you feel like it.

And report to staff what is troubling you, they can't see everything, too many members, too many posts.

Johntalin, I've enjoyed your company here - I'd hate to see you leave.

I know sometimes it's easy to get carried away or take a comment (or comments) the wrong way without the benefit of actually hearing the person speak. Having been a regular on a number of different forums for quite a while, I've learned to develop a thick skin. I find that sometimes it helps to step away for a few days, to get a fresh perspective.

Anyway, I do hope you continue to visit, but if not, it's been nice having you here.

Johntalin, please reconsider. We women on this forum need each other and so far we've been able to have a voice here unlike some other forums. This has been commented on more than once.

If it was a few isolated cases directed your way, consider the source. As you know, there are a great variety of folks on any forum.

Hope you'll give it a little longer. You're presence would be missed. Please think it over...;)

Talin, I understand and respect the feeling of something not being worth your time! If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't. I'm glad you're saying "goodbye" as opposed to just disappearing! You've been helpful and funny, and you'll be missed.

Talin, I really don't know what to say. I've been trying to write a response for some time, but only four words remain: Come back, don't leave.

I'll have to admit Talin, u will be missed and it is very sad to see u go.

But on the other hand I know where u coming from. You might want to take a break for a few days and come back, don't let the few bad, apples ruin it for everyone.

I really hope u reconsider and come back, but if u choose not to, I for one respect ur opinion and wish u well :)

Anyone who speaks up rubs ppl the wrong way. Or I should say anyone with the contradictory opinion from the masses.

Then again, this forum has some of (one of) the most sensative mods of any board Ive ever been to.

Hi Talin, I hope that you will PM me so that we can get to the bottom of this. If there are problems with certain moderators then we need to know about it and rectify the problem. I've talked to most of the moderators and we do not know what you are talking about. Like it has been mentioned there is a lot that goes on and we can't catch everything, we're just here to enforce rules and make sure people enjoy their time here, and most of the time that is just staying in the background and not interrupting anything. Since we're not sure what incidents you are talking about, we can't really take action.

So please let us know! Thanks!
