It's a shame you're going hon. No one should feel driven away by anything here.

The biggest irony of all is that such... heatedness, and the same old re-hashed arguments, seem to be of a cyclical nature around here, almost a biorhythm. In the four years on and off that I've been here, I've seen the same thing happen maybe four or five times. Periods of time where the atmosphere is much as you describe; different people each time yet the same views expressed in the same ways... and it always ends up with folks leaving.

Take some time off, but maybe come back sometime if you want to. Things will inevitably settle down again, and you'll always be welcome.

No!

Beverley, you are a huge inspiration. Thank you for all your time, answers and advice.

You are on my short list of favorites here, and Susan's will not be the same without you.

A thousand thanks. I miss you already.

When I hear my new voice, I think of you.

Thank you Beverly for those kind words. I am sure she will come around. it just takes time. Rome was not built in a day after all I wish you were able to stay. As you can see, you will be missed.  I appreciate the advice and your thoughts on my posts. Take care and I hope to see you elsewhere on the Worldwide web.

I'll miss you, you will never know how much you helped me!

Many love you here Bev. Please reconsider

Dear Bev,

I do hope you reconsider. If we let the warts win we all lose.

As Sephirah says these things come in cycles, and lordy don't ex-staff and staff know it. It has been a full moon and yep we could tell.

This site is for people like you. Those with a heart and a goodness. A smile, a quip and an answer when someone hurts.

Don't let people lose that.

WE will be less if you leave. But I understand why.

Hugs

Cindy

I'm going to send Cindy out to find you with her branding iron if you don't rethink this.

Hi everyone. Thank you for all the kind comments and for those of you who have stormed my email box, here I am again.  I will keep the account here at Susans open because I do miss you all, but I am going to reduce my activity here. I have altered my profile options to stay within just the MTF area.

I find myself very emotionally conflicted at present and I do not know why. Maybe it is another phase in the transition? I am all mixed up and no use to anyone at the moment and I need to sort myself out in my own way. I am sorry I ran out on you all.

Love

Beverley

Good luck. I'm glad you aren't leaving completely. We all get mixed up sometimes and cope in our own ways. Be well.

You had better recall Cindy.

But it's glowing, I have to cool it down.

Devlyn, Oh Devlyn, just bend over this will just take a second.

Whoops, looks good though



Do stay Sis

You can probably get a free subscription to BMEzine with that action

And I am one of them, but I do understand your point very well.
Another coping mechanism is....ignore the trolls, just ignore the bickering, it's not worth thinking about it.
You mean a lot to many people, you have made a lot of positive comments, that's what worthfull.

I do understand that a mature and positive person like you will be become tired sometimes, but like you said, there are also a lot of people who are worth talking too, and that Bostonianbitc*(lol) and the Aussie mafiaclan are the best, we don't want to miss them, do we?

I would miss you anyway, you're a good person.

OW! Well, anything for the cause, I suppose! Beverley, Cindys right. The branding iron(s) only hurt for a second! Hugs, Devlyn

Hi Beverley!
         Hormones mess with your mind honey, think of it like having two heads on the same body. The old being is constantly arguing with the new one, there are those that will deny it, but it's true regardless. Then there's information coming from outside sources here to add to the mix, mostly friendly and a few overtly hostile. You will mellow out and be able to discern the difference between the two. I was booted off of Susan's several years ago because I got my drawers in a knot over some comments that didn't sit well with me and I overreacted and got into a bitch fight. It's a learning experience we all have to go through just like kids going through second puberty rites. Nothing to be embarrassed about, it's not your fault!
