*friendly-hand-slap* NU-UH! Say that again and I'm getting the squirt bottle!

Everyone get's bad days. Some are worse than others. Heck, that's life! The point is, no one is mad at you. Seriously. I wasn't here for...whatever happened...but it seems to me that no one really took it that seriously and you shouldn't either! Water under the bridge! Bygones! Ect!

Seriously, we like ya. You add to the conversations, you post interesting topics, and your posts are-dare I say?-constructive! With you around, the threads aren't just a bunch of sequential posts with in them. xD

But, you know what? If you feel like you need to take a breather from the forums for a few days, do it! Don't just flat out quit, but don't feel bad either! Turn off the computer, have a donut and take a break. We'll be here when you get back, ya know?

Also, if you left, who else would love Tawashi with me? But seriously, think about it.

NUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE! I FORGIVE YOU! (glomps) There's no need to go packing your bags, it's not like you blow up the moon! Besides you're like the glue that holds the Astro model constructed with only shiny forks and shiny candy wrappers together! If you go it won't be the same T.T

So please stay! I wuv you! WE ALL DO!

I know I'm going to be scolded again that I'm shutting myself away from people but,

...Even with forgiveness, I still don't feel right. For years I have been known to be a rude or disrespectful person, sometimes not all of it going public, and I never change. The same thing is probably just going to happen again someday.

And that is a good reason for me to not be respected. That old saying, treat people the way you want to be treated.

Don't say stuff like that, people can change. I've learned to be a lot more confident since leaving school and I used to be insanely shy, I couldn't even talk to people! If I can learn to stand up for myself then you can learn too.

The fact you feel bad about it shows you're a sweet softy in there :3 Just think before you speak, that's all.

If I never followed that, well...there'd be a lot of toilet jokes with Astro that's all I'll say

You have done nothing unexpected.
Relax... We're just starting to know one another. Neurosis and all...

@Dr. Jerk
hay, you don't strike me as the kinda person that would INTENTIONAL be rude or disrespectful, I come off that way rather more frequently then I would like, but everybody knows that I don't mean it that way.

you contribute greatly here and it would be a loss for the community if you left, and don't worry about a few ruffled feathers, we all have probably ruffled a few in our time here, I know I have lol.

so don't leave us, like everybody said, if you have to take a break take it and we will be here when you get back.

Okay, but THINK FOR MINUTE what you are doing, vs. what you said in that post.

We're not saying it's okay to be rude or thoughtless. We're saying that it's okay to not be perfect, and your good qualities WAY out-weigh the "bad" -- we LIKE you. We want to have you be part of this little universe.

Unless you don't want to be around us, then why wouldn't you stay!?

The way we want to be treated, is you staying here, Karen. You don't have to move on. Instead allow yourself to be loved by a bunch of geeky, but well-intentioned people who genuinely like you just as you are.

- c'mon don't be a jerk -- no, wait that didn't come out right!

- nice work, pops.

I admit, that made me smile.

Members of this forum make mistakes, they apologize, and life goes on. Look at me, I make mistakes and I haven't been booted out yet. My point is, if everyone makes mistakes, asks for forgiveness and the forgiveness is granted, why should YOU be different? Are you saying you are a special case, that you are "too horrible" to stay here? By our standards, that is not the case. So rather than not finding our forgiveness sufficient, you need to forgive yourself and accept the fact you make mistakes.

I myself have felt unappreciated or at least under appreciated after posting something I hoped would receive favorable replies, but got few or none.
Sometimes I even felt unwanted because of this. Moreover, I myself recently goofed in a major way, and I wanted to avoid any further mention of it. I hope you were not one who was offended, but if so, I beg your forgiveness.
