Well, the dust has settled and I have stayed out of every single thread
regarding another site. I came to this community with thin and scrapped
skin, bruises. I cannot bite my tongue anymore. This is the first and
last time I am going to speak to this issue.

I spoke out and spoke the truth in another online community. A mere few
stood by with me, that knew the truth, and spoke it as well. The site
ignored then condoned a predator scamming of a number of women. I was
one of them. I was deleted while the predator got to stay. I stumbled
into this amazing community and found genunie people who have heart's of
gold. I have made awesome friendship's in a short time, that I hold
dear and appreciate. I never thought I would ever have the courage
again to be in an online singles community. It has been terrifying. I
have never posted about it here, because this was a new home for me, a
fresh start. I would never ignore, disrespect or impose on Mike or Van
as I have been seeing here, or the wonderful people in here, by dragging
all the garbage from that other site, into this community. By bumping up
a thread I made to thank Mike and Van for this fantastic community, I
hoped everyone would get the hint and let it go.,

Some of you are my friend's. While I am glad other's have found this
community, I cannot handle to see continued disrespect not only for Mike
and Van, but for the many wonderful people who were here long before I
came here and before those in the mass exodus from that site got here. I
see post after post, thread after thread, every day, about games being
played there, complaining about some wrong you suffered over there, and,
to add insult to injury, some are speaking if they would go back, could
go back, they can go back because they keep thier membership still,
despite flamming and criticizing that site. I could almost cry with what
I am seeing recently. If you like it and miss it so much, please, make
a decsion of where you want to be. If yo decide to stay here, please
blend into the community and stop all this posting about another site.
If you cannot stop talking about it, please take it to IM or private
email, but stop the posts and threads. Please respect other's in this
community and jump in and be a part of it.......

I'm sorry for posting this, but I care about this community and everyone
it and had to get this off my chest. I will not post again to the issue.

Agreed: It is not only boring, but grade school.

It is not painting a pretty picture of us as a whole. I want to be
pretty. I want to be accepted an liked for being me.
I have already been impressed with the people on this site.

And yes, Jane was wronged and I for one am glad she found a place to be,
comfortably.
Luv ya Jane.
Kat

PS Thanks for the post.
