gg, i tried to think of a way to say this, as diplomatically as i could......flat out.....i'd like to see you here more, as a "regular". and i mean no offense whatsoever, we're friends, and i reallly respect your opinions.

i rarely see you here, unless you're popping into a thread where we've all been for days and days. the regulars who are struggling with something, do get into disagreements. but sometimes, i feel as though your posting comes after the disagreements and perhaps you feel that you need to straighten things out...... i am asking you to stick around more and get "in" the threads with us. join in when we're discussing our feelings and be a regular part of our community.

i think that you'd feel the same way about me popping in and out of Babble. i went over recently when someone mentioned PC in reference, and only in reference, to it being a place where disgruntled Babblers go......Dinah and i had a short thread and all was well.

there are people over there that i don't like. obviously, there are people here that you disagree with strongly. but i don't want to mix it up with those people there. and i doubt, seriously, if you like mixing it up with anyone.

i would like to see you post here more often and lend your insight to our forums.....you have an excellent background for this and having you around more would be nice.

there were things that went on yesterday that didn't solve anything. on both sides. the beginning of that thread started calmly enough.

i thought about it a lot last night and i stand by my statement of our being in over our heads and that we all should step away from the greenleaves/bob thing. i just now loggged on and i hope that is what did happen...i watched Miami whoop the Maverick's butt after that.....and peeked occasionally.

PM me, if you feel that you need to or talk to me here. whatever, let's talk........ xoxoxo pat
