I've been on and off for a while now.
It's now time for me to just leave.
When I first came here it as a fun place and lots of great information was shared.
In the past year though there has been a shift.
There is a lot of bitching, challenging, arguments, put downs etc.
I tried just leaving for a while to see if it was really my perception of things, but it is not.
I have sent a few of people over here in the last few months and I was told no thanks, those people are mean by one person and the other wanted to know what they had done to me that would make me want them to be in a place like this where there was so much nastiness.
I apologized to them and assured them this was not normal.
However ... I am now eating my words to them.
I do not expect a single one of you to bother with me and my post because it seems there are very few - if any at all - who are willing to step back and take a look at how mean you are.
The bickering and putdowns and insults are running rampant here.
There seems to be a core group who firmly believe they are better than the rest and take no concern about insulting other people.
You all wonder why new people don't stick around .. well take a look at some of the mean things being said.
It matters not to me anymore as I am done.
But I post this rather than just walk away because I hope that perhaps you will slow down a moment and take people's feelings into consideration before you lambaste them with your superior knowledge and before you make them feel small for asking a question.
You seem to forget that at one time - you were also the same way ... learning.
Goodbye and thank for the good times and best of luck to all of you.
