Your various contributions to this site and to several individuals over the years have been great in several ways Sis

It is my personal wish that you should stay

Hugs

I join in the STAY vote.

I think anyone in any journey in life can always benefit from the voice of experience. ESPECIALLY with the journey we are all taking in some form here...and if we have any sense, we listen to those that have come before.

So please....stay....and lend your voice and wisdom to those of us who are still trying to desperately figure it all out....

Cindy I have very very much respected you for a good while. Do what makes you happy. You know you have supported enough people around here to deserve a little me time. I see your name flash up all over the place, in amongst the millions of visitors you probably don't even know who I am! :-) but I have read a lot of posts from you and you are awesome, wherever you might happen to be, whether its here or anywhere else. Hugs! kira x

Cindy, you do an amazing job of keeping people grounded, myself included.  I'm pretty sure that if you go, a lot of us will end up going as well.  This is like Malcolm Young leaving AC/DC.

What? I have never seen you as anything but a guiding light of reason and perseverance! Why anyone could make you think you are not needed here is unbeknownst to me.

I've looked up to you since the first post of yours that I read, and at no point has that admiration ever changed. You really are a guiding light, Cindy!

If you want to leave out of happiness, I completely understand. You would however be sorely missed by me and thousands of current and future members. Regardless, life will go on- but it would not be the same without you here. Not nearly the same at all.

I will always have a big place in my heart for you regardless of what you would like to do. You've been such an inspiration to me.

(I vote please stay, if you want)

Cindy,

I truly understand your prospective.

This path we walk takes so much out of us and glad to make it to the end.

Many have no clue how burnt out we become, how we try to help just to be over shadowed from others who have no idea.

GF I wish you the best and thank you for all your soul you have put into helping others.

Safe journey into life, surgery and after.

As always if you feel the need just send me a message

Hugs
Isabell

I wanted to add one last thing.  Whether you stay or go, realize that you've done a lot of good here.  If you feel that you've done more harm than good, I can tell you that doesn't match up with what I've seen.  Maybe one or two people don't like you, but think of all the people that do.  All the people that you've touched and moved.  All the people that you've befriended when they needed a friend.  All the people that you made smile when they couldn't.  Not everyone can love or appreciate you, but that doesn't mean there are many others that don't.  This is what kept me here after past incidents, and I hope that does for you to.  You may not realize this, but those of us in the middle of transition like seeing the success stories.  It makes us feel inspired and hopeful.  Focus on the good.  There is plenty of room here for everyone, as long as they aren't banned or something.

If you want to leave, however, that's a different thing.  You don't have to stay and or volunteer for something you don't want to do anymore.  Just don't let your decision be made by others.  I've missed some who have left, and would be sad if you left too.  But again, make the decision for yourself.  That's whats most important.  Good luck with your decision Cindy, and I hope you feel better.

My two cents' worth.

If YOU don't want to mod anymore, then walk your path.

But I want you to stay if you are leaving it up to us!

Cindy, your accolades are pouring in. So many of us are indebted to you, to your help, to your comments lifting us out of the dark place we sometimes find ourselves in,
so, from the other side of the Commonwealth:

I'd like you to stay,it won't be the same without you.At the same time you must do what you think is best and right for you,if you go you shall be missed greatly

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. You need to do what's right for you. But I would love it if you could stay here.

Love,
Constance

This is about where I am as well.

Susan's is a much better site because of what you bring.

But who knows, you might bring even more to some other endeavor. I've got to send this back to you. Where do you think your efforts would be best applied? Where can you do the most good?

Either way, stay or go, I would really try to find a way we can stay friends.

I'd like you to stay. But, if you do feel it's time to move on, I support you in that decision as well. I know a lot of people, post-op, choose to distance themselves somewhat from trans stuff and I 100% understand that.

I was feeling that I was the 'problem' that has troubled the site.

I received a post that made me realise that I am not.

I may, possibly, maybe, be part of the solution.

I want to make something very clear.

I love you all; you saved me from my past.
If in any way I can help another, I shall do so.

My arms are always open; as is my heart.

My love, thanks and deepest respect.

Cindy

    



We love and respect you too, Cindy!

OK, so you helped me become a Moderator. We will work on your judgment a little, but I haven't caused that much trouble yet! *giggle*

                                                                             Yay! She is staying!!

I was thinking, "Oh crap, and I was having such fun talking Seahawks football with Cindy via PM!" Seems like a lot of folks will be missing you if you decide to disappear, besides who is going to run the Aussie Mafia?

I'm sick for a day and look what happens?

Don't you dare think those things Cindy.
Your words have been invaluable in posts, PM and over the phone and I am not alone with this sis.

Anyway who else would get my sense of humour?

I love you and the assistance you give even if some people don't like what they see.
You are the reality to my insanity.

Anyway glad you have seen how we all feel about you and your contribution here.

Will I have to get the red eye so I can whip you back into shape?

Hugs
Jen.

Cindy,

You are one of three on my friend's picture thing.  I am one of about 16 on yours.  Yet, we have never really talked and I don't know that we have ever sent a PM to each other.  I know you only through your posts and through those whom you help.  That is all that is needed sometimes to know someone well. 

You need to stay.

Therefore, I have some people over there from my company.  Would you take Tim Tams as a bribe?  I can arrange for you to get some.

On the other hand, I know some folks at NICNAS (National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme – Australia Dept of Health).  Some of them are not nice people.  I can get one of them to stop by.....

HUGS!!!

Jen

LOL... I'm terrible

Love you Sis

Hugs

Best bribe ever!
