I suffered a momentary lapse of composure earlier this evening. We all do it. Don't leave, Jemm. It will get better. Have some herbal tea and try to get a good night's sleep. In the long run, the quality writing is what will endure.

Unfortunately, controversy worked for some
It started maybe six weeks ago when we got our first spate of this - and the bloggers that would write one-post blogs up the wazoo, and the people who didn't know how to take criticism. We started at the same time, and I lost a lot of income to these people (relatively speaking). I'll probably get back to writing more tomorrow, after I get back from a minisabbatical of my own (to a local bookstore).

U R Ever So Right
as you know, i felt guilty about a comment I made. and, lo and behold, I did it again today. All I can do is Pray, and Have Faith in the Abundance of Light Here. I, too, was going to "unsubscribe," but, you and M helped me--as did The Lord, and my spouse. PLEASE don't go.We need people like you on the BN.God Bless You--

Maj is Right...
I did indeed write an attacking blog in the past. I sunk...and I am not proud of that. I am trying not to do that. Thanks for calling me on it.
And to you others, thanks! You don't know how great your comments make me feel.
Even if I do leave...I'll still do prompts. Those are fun.

Don't jump, don't jump
1. You're needed, don't go.
2. Hey, you wrote an attacking blog! Alright!
3. Remember those negative bloggers are PAYING to have people IGNORE them. So let's facilitate that.
4. Who knows what's pissing them off? (And should they be spreading it? Not without some sort of caveat!).
5. You don't have to blog every day, if you need a sabbatical (say, to hunt them down and kill them) take one!

I, for, one enjoy reading your blogs. Don't get disgusted and quit!
You are one of my favorite bloggers and if you quit, I won't get to read your refreshingly candid posts. Perhaps you need a sabbatical (I wish I had a spell checker!) of a few days.

I understand Your frustration. It's a game,
I took your advice-- I do not read the stuff with name calling. It makes me sad and then mad. I am not perfect in my posts but I really hope I do not sink to name calling-- call me on it if I do. But don't leave Jemmie-- You're nice to have around. Love and Light M

Don't Do Anything Drastic
Take a short hiatus and you will feel better. Who knows, as quickly as things degenerated while I was gone, things may improve by the time you come back. Worse case scenerio, everything will appear new and fun again by then.
