but what is wrong with expressing why you are leaving respectfully?

Katie, I will not get into the argument with you.

Admin says no...I enforce the rule...

Tacky "I'm leaving you made me mad" posts are pointless...we have many members who have posted them in the past...and they come back...time and time again.

Kathy~ Judy said that they have went to another forum and to e-mail one of the eaters to find out where. I haven't been able to do that but would like to follow the ones who have left. Can you help me out.

but I still like to know why they leave....and not just be left hanging. I am not trying to argue. Really I am not. But I DO like it when people say they are leaving or taking a break or whatever...I don't think they are tacky.

Well, I wont be making a dramatic exit. I have appreciated much of the advice and support I've recieved here but the forums sadly have changed. Respect should be mutual here. I've tried my best to be politically correct and open minded but it is so difficult for many to share feelings, constantly worrying about offending others. I don't think my exit needs further explanation as I know I'm not the only one who is feeling this way. If one day this forum changes for the better, I will take the opportunity to come back. Peace and blessings to you all.

I say this at the risk of being "banned without warning" but.....
It seems to me that the TOS are vague and can be interpreted to mean any post the moderators want perhaps corporate should have their lawyers look into revising them to be a little more clear.

You guys had your say on the Burial Ground thread…its time to move on, in a positive direction.

The deletion of individual “I’m leaving” threads is NOT a new thing…this is a common practice on all parts of the forum…again, I think this is being blown WAY out of proportion.
