Reply to "Leaving the forum."

Brenten, I must have missed what happened, but you shouldn't leave. I don't know what was said, but leaving would just let whomever it was, win.

I have been there before on the site I admin. for, and it's not fun to be criticized, much less being demeaned for your opinion.

I agree that the admins here work sooo much differently than we do at our site, they really should be keeping an eye at this place more. We have 60,000 members, and 33 admins, and nothing demeaning is left up for more than 10 minutes at the site I volunteer for (I don't even get paid.)

What I tell the members that get frustrated, when something happens behind the scenes, is, "if you can't ignore it, or are going to blow a gasket, take a few days away from the site. Just reassess what is going on, and after a few days away, you might feel better."

I know that's easier said than done, when you have someone always harping on you, though. But I have seen you reply here, you make a part of this site just as much as anyone else here. Whether someone agrees or disagrees with you, doesn't make your points invalid. Just take a few days and lurk if you have to, but I'm sure your friends here don't want you to leave forever.

I don't know you well, but my mother has spoken about you and it's always been wonderful things. Don't let some stranger hiding behind anonymity get you down, or angry. Don't give them that kind of satisfaction, because that's what people with low self esteem feed off of. They are attention mongers, and any attention, positive or negative that they can get, makes them feel special.

I know I wouldn't do it, I'd just ignore it.

Either way, I really hope that you do one day return to this site, so that maybe I can get to know you. If not though, I wish you much luck in your journey of life, and hope that only the best comes your way.
