I would like to make a public apology to Brandon for my behaviour earlier. I flipped out and that was wrong of me to do. I'm having a really tough time at the moment but that is no excuse for the way I spoke to him. I'm sorry that you felt like I was ganging up on you. I'm really sorry for my actions.

I'd also like to take this post as a chance to say I'm taking a break from here. I don't know when I'll be back.

I'd really miss you if you left. The site is filled with wildly inappropriate people right now, but we need to stick together and make this place work. Hugs, Devlyn

I think this is a really brave thing to do! So I hope Brandon just accepts your apology and you'll be done with it because really everyone can have a day where they have a bad mood. And sometimes you just can't keep it inside, it's this that makes the difference. I hope you stay, or at least come back later when you feel you can.

Joe,

Thank you for the apology. There is no reason for you to leave, in fact just the opposite.

We need people who will take responsibility for their actions. The behaviour of many members has been terrible and extremely disappointing.

I would far prefer people who accept responsibility for their actions to act as positive examples to others; leaving will not accomplish that.

Cindy

Heartwarming.

Joe, do what you feel is best. You owned whatever the deal was. Truth is, people don't always get along. Usually they don't. Doesn't mean you are wrong or should feel bad.

I can't even begin to take you seriously.  When someone posts something like this on a support site and doesn't understand that they're part of the problem it's sad.

"LMAO, I feel like this must be a parody account of cut and paste statements. Even the av makes it look like you're talking out of your ass."

You don't need to take me seriously but you also shouldn't make snide remarks about what posters should be allowed. Maybe it's time to reevaluate some of your own behavior or what your comments are contributing.

Can you all please stop arguing 

Thanks to everyone who has commented too.

♥ It can be tough sometimes. I said some stupid things in chat the other night... and apologized in chat to chan2011. I hope the apology was accepted. It's most important that we can realize when we've said stupid things and can admit that! We all have moments of weakness...

The arguing on this particular thread seems super inappropriate to me too. 

It's a web forum... there will be disagreements - long standing ones, perhaps... but if you can't realize that it's a person on the other end with their own thoughts and feelings, maybe it's time to find a debate club to vent at... IMO.

Sorry for sidetracking your thread. Hugs, Devlyn

Take a break if needed Joe, we all need vacations sometimes. Come back when you're ready.

Y'all needa' go visit the Hug Bank for some therapy 

Joe, 

We all say things we regret and we all make mistakes.  I don't know what was said or why you regret what occurred, but don't let it defeat you.  If you feel the need to apologize and make amends, that is great.  All of us have had to at some point and it only builds character to learn from your mistakes (whether real or simply just perceived as one).  After all, no one here is perfect and we all have much to learn and discover in this life.  In any case, please don't let one little incident on the site injure you or make you feel the need to shut off from a support group that embraces you.  You're welcome here, and I would be sad to lose you or any other member here.
