I believe the worst of the offenders ended up deleting her post after post after post after post of attacking one particualr member here. So when admin got around to checking this...they obviously missed the attacks and sent the other party an email with notice of do it again and get banned.

I am told a few already did leave. I tend to hate change so I can't quite bring myself to pull out. I'll explain everything in a bit to everyone. I am still not completely decided. I am watching how things go for a bit.

Wow, what did I miss here?
You are thinking about leaving and I am still trying to figure out why...apparently there was some sort of posting insanity while I was busy with life. Geez I can't believe it was that bad that within that short of a space you have decided you want to leave!
I am almost afraid to look into the other blogs for fear more will have decided the same. I hope you do not go based on some minority of bloggers? Please don't leave!

Oh goodness, I wasn't aiming to get others to try and talk me into it. LOL! I am going to watch and see what happens around here. If the insanity of the other occurs again, I won't be staying. Simply put, there has to be a better way to do things.

MilitaryWife..
Good Morning.. I do hope that you decide to stay but you should do what is best for you. I 'm sorry but I have not been able to find out why you have made this decision. I am just getting to know you through your words and I would like you to know for what its worth.. I think of you as a very caring person with a large capacity for love and after reading this post I know that you have taken a very tragic childhood and instead of bitterness you have chose to love and make life better for yourself and others through LOVE.. You have my respect! May God Bless You in all your choices.

Looks like you took a bad childhood
and turned it into a good life. Most don't do that. It really does set you apart! I like to find ways to fix things too....sometimes it drive me crazy till I find the solution. Maybe that's why I'm up at egads 2 AM.

Yes, I am seriously thinking about it. Had you asked me earlier it was definate, then when I get to thinking about everyone I start to miss them already. So now I am wrestling with that decision.
Thank you so much for the kinds words.

What an excellent post. You might think of yourself as a loner, but perhaps the childhood you had was what prepared you for being the "people person" you are perceived to be. We should all strive to think the way you do, to just get in there and find solutions, get our hands dirty when needs be. To use a typically Australian phrase - Good on ya!

Thank you so much for sharing that. I do understand all too well what you speak of.
I am also looking forward to hearing about your marriage proposals.

You and I share very similar paths. Although I am not married. Which reminds me I feel like chronicalling the fact that I did get asked twice this week. How weird.
WTF (what the f**k) you may ask? Well that's what I said!
Sometimes I think that I am not married because I am not good enough for anyone. It is like when people tell me they love me, it suprises to see that they aren't intoxicated. It is like I expect them to be. I perceive it quite twisted I know, but that doesn't stop it from hurting me. It is like a cruel reminder.
Like some evil child taunting the little girl-part of my mind and saying, "ha ha ha ha ha ha...no one cares about you" "your aren't good enough for anyone" and btw you're fat" Then proceeds to push me down in the mud.
What the heck do you think about that? Is that like crazy or what? I get these ideas from who knows where and they just start hounding me...I obsess over them. And I don't even want to. If my life were a car it would be powered by fear. Unsurpassed fuel efficiency its main selling point.
Other times I think that I have been unmarried for the total of my 42.8 years, because I find it an antiquated institution. In that I mean, for me specifically. I feel like I hold a bit of snobbery in my opinions on matrimony. Like it is not good enough for the likes of me...? Another mystery. Do I hate society so much that I purposely dennounce its institutions? I know society lost me as a small child. If you knew my history, you'd know the why. So as not to go off on a tangent, just imagine the worst childhood you can and you won't be very far off...Do I feel a twinge of exageration? Maybe..but not much. I mean in other countries in comparison, I am a king. But for a child of this culture, it is/was/remains an atrocity.
I see all this really talks about is my fear of trusting others. I have been knocked down by rejection so many times, I would rather never take a risk than to feel that deep pain again. So I work at it. I work a trusting people. I work at knowing that I am good enough to be with other people. Add that to all the other work I do in my quest from victim to "so over it", and you will realize why I have chosen to go with this roll, and hog your blog with all this sorting of thought effort. I unravel my snarled insides like one works at a head of hair with the worst tangles imaginable.
I am not looking for sympathy or anything, I am, like I said on a roll here and I am finding that what i learn is useful and applicable in numerous ways.
So what say you? lol
