Why I Am Considering Leaving

Not a plea to stay nor a plea period.

from JoeUser Forums

I guess going through what I just went through last January has put things into a sharper perspective for me.

I see people writing article about differing things and lo and behold someone or many someones just have to take what is written PERSONAL, and treat the writer like a blood enemy, attack the writer, try to demean the writer and in many cases do their best to try to run the writer off Joeuser and sometimes they succeed. Many times it just becomes to damn painful for me to write an article that turns ugly. I am finding out this is just not worth the time or the stress it brings to my life while I am busy healing.

In the last couple visits I have seen Parated exit, and it looks like a forever exit.. I shall miss him.. I have seen Bakerstreet fade away and even though baker and I clash at times I miss him too. Too many good people have just left Joeuser because of all the friction and slowly I am leaning in that direction too. Soon there will be nothing left but folks that continue to intentionally misread things so feuds can start, wars can flare up, sides get chosen and cyber blood flows. This once wonderful site has slowly degenerated into "pick-a-fight.com." and it's a crying shame.

This is just my honest opinion about what I see recently, it is not aimed at anyone in particular, it was not written to start a fight with anyone, it was not written so people would rally around and ask me to stay. It was written because it is what I SEE THESE DAYS, nothing more, nothing less.

Hey there, MM. This place can definitely bring you down sometimes.

I think it's better than it used to be, though. Or I'm getting thicker skin and better at ignoring people who bother me.

Izzy just woke up from her nap and she says, "grrraaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!", which translated, reads, "Aloha from Princess Isabella". Hehe.

Tell the princess I return her salutations with a grufnarguggle which translates to "may health and love always be your companion"

Hello Elie..I'm just seeing this post. I understand how you feel and don't blame you for questioning yourself about staying. You would definately be missed! I"m glad you're getting better. Just continue to take care of you and don't let anyone or anything stress you more. I miss reading with you Elie. It would definately be hard to say goodbye. So many nice bloggers have moved on....it's your choice but know that I'll never forget you!

Donna? we just have to exchange Phone numbers, you are far to precious to me to lose.

I try too mason, but sometimes the hatred expressed is so virulent it is hard to ignore


Only if you allow it to be my friend. Try to see past it. No matter how bad it may appear in type remember there is a human being behind it and there is some reason they have chosen to express themselves in such a way. You and I both know how pain can affect one's outlook and pain comes in many forms.

very zen mason and very true. ...food for thought for sure.

fuck it mod, we all leave and then we all come back.


do what you have to do. then come back and play with us in the sandbox. I've done it several times and there's always open arms when you come back, even with people you fought with before.


Good luck.

All true myrr.... all true. Good to see you back on your game and sorry about the divorce.

your first place?


Yes. Very big/scary decision. I almost feel like a grown up!

I am always here for you.


I assure you the feelings/sentiments are mutual.

The fighting always seems to me like a big explosion that comes...blows...and then every one pulls away bloody and sweaty, breathing hard to re evaluate.

I hope you stay MM. I've never known JU without you.

well then this calls for a house warming gift... Colleen and I would be very pleased if you would share your address when you move in so we can send you a little something.

Ah my dear lady you are among the people that make it worthwhile to stay.

While a housewarming gift is not at all necessary, I'd be happy to share my address with you. I'm a bit supersitious, so I am going to wait until after the closing (which is scheduled for mid-May), so that I don't jinx it.

this would be a pleasure, not some kind of pay back my dear friend. Nothing better than to start a new life in a new home than with house warming gifts from people that love you.

TA knows this, in fact, TA commented on the goodbye article. I think TA just wants to stir the pot.


Ta reply was on the 20th, was that before baker left?
