Simon im so upset that you re upset! i know nothing about this conflict i keep reading about but it scares me and it scares me even more to see that it is making such good caring people as you go away.
i hate conflict and cant understand how people can yell at eachother so i do know how you feel and why you feel you need to leave. if that is really what you need to do for you then thats what you need to do. if you can find a way around it though i would really like that.
alexandra_k had some really good advice i think. maybe trying to take a break from being so intensely involved with the people who are hurting you and spending a bit more time using this as an opportunity to widen your circle of aquaintances on the board would be an idea?
there will always be conflict and we need to figure out a way to live with it sometimes instead of leaving. i wish i could tell you what that way is but i do believe that if we can do that we can use experiences like this to make our lives even richer.
im not sure if im making sense. i just would hate to see you go because you are anything but invisible. please dont let a conflict between other people take you away from those of us on this thread and others who really do see you.
i really hope you keep posting and let us support you on this new journey you re taking. you re an inspiration on how to move forward and follow your dreams and that is very valuable and much appreciated.
ok i could keep talking but i ll leave my waffling at that.
take care of yourself even if that means going away but you will be missed.
