<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by a blessed Samantha: <strong>Catnip<p>Actually I read here quite often, you'd be surprised how much. I started doing that many months ago when all the intruding OW were showing up. Maybe nearly a year now. <p>I want you to know that many of us very old and old timers have a very special part of our hearts dedicated to you members here. There go any of us but by the grace of God.<p>You were on the right track with the recipes. Maybe we should all dig through our boxes and respond like we used to? It sure would give the overworked moderators and administrators here a break. But tell me can we please have a "PARTY" too? [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Love to all,</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Were you lurking during the Bonnie B fiasco? That was a horrible, horrible time. After she was removed, we were suspicious of every OW for quite a while. It was a tough time... tough on them and tough on us. We didn't know who to trust or believe and they were all so scrutinized, not understanding what we had just been through. Bonnie B certainly did them a disservice.<p>You know, I rarely get over to GQ because of time constraints but I remember fondly Lone Star and you and Nerlycrazy (is she here???) and the wonderful postings back then when Marriage Builders was new. The forum was such a wonderful place of healing and comraderie...and such fun, too...how about that Medic marrying Gina? I was thrilled...who would have thought? I am so touched you all still care about us over there and check in on us now and then. I didn't know you did that and I am so moved...sometimes I feel we are too isolated over here but our problems are sort of horrendous,...kind of like a leper colony...GQer's some over here and go "eeeewwww..." then "whew!"<p>Thanks so much for being here and caring so much about us, Sam...let's do a party and recipes...we need to lighten up. I am really, really concerned about all the members who have left. Maybe some good times will draw them back in. Care to start the thread?<p>Love<p>Catnip =^^=

I must say I have never asked that any one be removed from anything and certainly never would. QB]<hr></blockquote><p>Oh, I KNOW that, Mom of Five...I was not referring to you. In fact, I feel really bad you got caught in the crosshairs of something really unpleasant...but, please, just know you are a respected part of our site and your opinions are always kind, respectful and helpful...and we need your insight on issues, too.<p>Try to let it go what happened and when Gem gets back from her much needed vacation, maybe the two of you can discuss and resolve it. You mihgt be surprised that it had little to do with you and it was just a situation of triggers, anniversaries and other unpleasantness. Haven't you ever taken something out on someone other than the intended target, unfairly and not meaning to? I have, or at least I have in the past. It is something I really have to watch myself on because I have such a temper...don't tell anyone...I want to keep my aura of gentility and grace. hahaha<p>Catnip =^^=

lol It really isnt important to discuss it, if she is in pain I hope she gets the support she needs. I am sorry this has all turned so ugly, but I hate to see any one leave because of me. WIB has given me strength... if it werent for her I would still be telling XOM AND HIS W NO she cant spend the night till she is 3 and can speak. haha I think we should all shake hands and be nice. <p> Yes I suppose we have all been in a place where we were angry about something and took it out on someone else. I should know better than to have taken the bait. SO shame on me. I just wanted to make sure some new I had not meant any harm. I feel we can learn from all sides and almost every one has a valuable place here. I think if people are hurt or attacked here they dont feel like healing any more and this hurts progress. I think we should try and be supportive of those trying to fix their marriage.<p>[ June 06, 2002: Message edited by: mom of five ]</p>

It seems that a part of my announcement has been overlooked:<p> <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>I am requesting that the issues of the past few days be dropped. The Administrators and moderators have done what needs to be done. I have locked all of the threads which discuss the recent events, and will continue to do so with any new ones that are created.<hr></blockquote><p>I don't really WANT to start locking threads again, so please, everyone think before you type. The site is Marriage Builders. I'd like to see some more of that.
