It seems like I am really awful about offending people, and for this I am truly sorry. Sometimes what I write down seems to be rude, but I don't mean it that way. My communication skills need some work.
I think it best if I leave this forum now, as I don't want to offend anyone else.
Thank you ladies for giving me a place to go and the chance to experience different perspectives. I think it has helped me grow in ways that I needed, in order to be the person I want to be.
Weblady: You do an awesome job of moderating and answering people without offending, and I truly respect that. The "Mod" squad you picked couldn't have been better ladies.
Mitch: You have been one of my favorite people on here. I love your sense of humor.
Congratulations to all you ladies on your upcoming weddings. May they be all that you hope they are.
Those that came before me: One of my greatest inspirations with all this wedding stuff was reading your journals.
I wish you all much happiness in the future.

Oh I don't think that you need to go.
I don't think you've offended any one - everyone has their own opinions and personalities.
I hope you decide to stick around!

I certainly don't think you're offensive - I always enjoy your posts and I love your wedding theme! Every once in a while there is bound to be a misunderstanding on an internet forum - it's hard to determine tone and intent and stuff happens.
The thing I love most about this forum is the willingness to listen to one another without judgment and it's always in the spirit of friendship and helpfullness. Your contributions are valued and appreciated.
I hope you'll reconsider, but I also respect any decision you have to make for yourself. I will miss you if you decide to leave, of course, but I really hope you'll stick around. You are a wonderful addition to this forum.
All my absolute best to you, my friend.
:) Gwen

I can say that I never think before I speak.. lol.. I always get myself in trouble because I am blunt and have a bold way of saying things, straight to the point. So with that said.. Don't leave. If you upset someone on accident, and you said your apologies.. then that's it.. yano.. But don't leave.. okay!
I have enjoyed reading your post too. :o

I honestly found your posts refreshing. I think you speak your mind, which is an awesome trait I wish I could do other than sometimes. I wish you wouldn't go as I think you've been a great addition to the fourm.
If you do decide to leave, best of luck with your wedding and everything else!

I'm sorry that you feel like you need to leave us...
Sometimes I find it difficult as well to remember that behind every person is a story, and I'm in the social work field! LOL...I think it's very important the people remember to think before they speak. I am sooo guilty of this as well :(
I hope that this isn't in response to a recent thread that was closed! I would HATE to loose such a great and helpful member for something that is not really a huge deal!
Think about all of the other ways you have contributed to this forum!
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you a happy wedding and a lifetime of happiness :)
Best of luck in all of your future endeavours!

AmandaI agree ... I really don't think you need to leave!
Many of us have said things that may have been taken wrong or whatever, but this happens with friends in real life too!
Threads get closed sometimes for various reasons, but we move on ... that is one of the things that I like about the community here.
Believe me, if we thought you were a problem we would let you know ;)

Waaaaaa!!!!
Mitchymoo is on bended knees. Don't leave. :(
I've never read any of Your posts as offensive or rude. If anything, they are a breath of freah air.
Typing on a Forum without "Tone of voice" can sometimes be read differently. I've been guilty of that here sometimes. In My case it's the warped British sense of humour that got lost in translation.
But We all continue on as one big happy family.
I went through this a while back. So i took a few days out. Got Myself together and came back here with a clear head, fresh eyes and fresh ideas.
I hope You reconsider. But if You do decide to leave. Then i wish You and Your FH all the happiness in the world. x

Thank you ladies for your thoughts. This isn't just to do with one particular post. It is just hard when my words hurt other people and I bring negativity into their lives.
I think I will take Mitch's advice and spend some time clearing out my head and maybe be back in a few days.
I do really enjoy all of you guys!

OK then, see you soon :)
I do remember when someone offends me, and you have not done that as of yet :) . One thing to remember on the forum is that not everyone has the gift of graceful gab, and that's not something that you need to feel ashamed about. When online, we only communicate with about 5% of our communication abilities - simple words and punctuation. There's no tone of voice or body language - which is about 95% of communication anyway. Everyone should know when they come on here to take someone's words with a grain of salt.
I'd hate to see you go... I do agree with the rest of the girls on here that your input and advice has been helpful and within reason. Hope to see you around still!

I've definitely had times that I needed to walk away from forums... so I really respect what you're doing. But, I hope you come back. You weren't offensive to me at least, and I liked your inputs.
Good luck with everything if you don't though!
