How can I not respond here? That is what I miss as well. This board is not for everyone. People, including myself, leave when they don 't like the atmosphere. If that climate returns, so will I. However, a violation of Proboard's terms of service has occured. A threat to sink this forum has been made on the XIV board. Being an astute judge of character, this childish act does not surprise me. If this happens, I will persue legal action. We are inclusive here to a fault. In so doing, we attract the obsessive and the psychologically needy. However pompous this sounds it's true. We gave an ear and expressed our opinions. When the tone changed and people left, I got fed up. True colors shone through. I can live with my honesty. I will visit and read when I can. If you guys build it back, I would like to return if I am welcome. I'll not turn my back on this forum. Like you need to ask?! I don't agree with every one of your beliefs and tactics here, but you knew that anyway. I for one, really couldn't imagine the Forum without you. I will be persevering here and am already cheered by new responses from Xan & RT (as well as this one of course). If we can keep a quorum running and contributing, then I do think we can turn things around. I certainly intend to try..

One other quick statement here:
Paul, I note that you have deleted your forum accounts and made good your promise to leave TSW. Although I know that matters had come to a head, I personally will miss you here.
Take Care, I'll see you on other Boards.

Does anyone care that I'm upset, let alone HOW upset I am? Apparently not because I have not received one single message through all of this. I can't even bring myself to listen to my Kate cds, and if a Kate Bush forum is ruining Kate's music for me, then it is most certainly time to rethink. So I am leaving in disgust. I wish you all the best, I really do. Anyone wishing to contact me can do so at Dan's Ninth Wave board. I'm Miss RoyGBiv. Or I can be emailed at Creepnjean@netzero.net. 860 posts down the toilet. Goodbye. (Yeah yeah I know I'm being too sensitive, right? :

Does anyone care that I'm upset, let alone HOW upset I am? You know... now I'm pissed! Specifically at this post. I have tried to discuss many things on this forum and privately with you and been your friend. Have you even been to EX4 for where we tried to discuss this with you? I have always been open to messaging with you about any situation, Paul, Sven, or otherwisde, and this is the response?! I care about you, and you were the last remaining regular female here. I expressed that I didn't know exactly what was happening, apparently I have been left out of the loop for a while. Suddenly something between us exploded and Paul left. Frankly, I'm dam*n tired of chasing down members to find out why they don't want to post anymore and these games. I'm not being sensitive here... I'm angry. I knew you'd be upset Sheila, but I thought more of our bond, and that when you were ready, you'd PM me if you wanted to discuss it. I left it open many times, what more was I supposed to do, I thought this might blow over and all would be forgiven. Join another board, you won't be appreciated there as much as your presence was missed here for the last few months. I hope you see this and know that I did miss you and Paul.

Does anyone care that I'm upset, let alone HOW upset I am? Apparently not because I have not received one single message through all of this. Did you not receive my message on the 22nd? Also, I said that your were always welcome here and that it was unfortunate that you may decide to leave. But; Sheila, no one can know how you feel if you don't tell them. I was able to withstand your critisizm of me or my comments and still express concern for you. Rudeness or harshness, as long as it's an honest opinion, is far less offensive to me than insults and absence. I was willing to accept your anger as your legitimate expression of how you felt. I left the door open - and honestly did not resort to any escalation of hostility. I will also delete this post. We should not air this laundry here. My box is open, unless you've given up on your friends here. We did not leave you - we never left. Sheila, I sorry I have created so much anger and disgust for you. But surely you know that it is up to you to forgive and let go. You only punish yourself.

Obviously Sheila, I knew you would be upset.
I didn't know how wretched you would be feeling, so I didn't think that a private message would be entirely appropriate. I left a comment for you on the Wake thread of Exp IV. I'm sorry if you feel that this was not a sufficient effort on my behalf. I used this part of the forum, not because I was unhappy about members seeing what my thoughts were, but because that was where you chose to break your own silence following Paul's regretable departure.
Read the thread again, and know that I meant every word that I said. I accept your invitation, and will be sending an email in case you do not return to the forum to read these messages.
