<font color="#000088">What I don't get is why people will post that they are going to leave, and then hang around to see whether or not people will beg them to stay. Is it part of a mental illness? What am I missing in this picture here?

ANSWER:
Those are possibly the one's that are just trying to get attention, or wait around to see if there are people here that really do care about them, and want them to stay! That was explained in the other post, moved over in a big blue box from the other thread that is currently closed. Which explained it quite well!

My post, wasn't mean't as trying to attack you personally, and I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I felt bad for the member that had her feelings hurt by being pegged as one that was just trying to get attention by saying she was leaving, just because she was convinced by a friend to come back! Some people do leave, just as an impulse, because they are upset about something, and it takes a good friend to talk to them, and talk them into coming back. It doesn't always mean they just left for attention, that's only in some cases,not all cases!
I hope at least some of this clears up your question. I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings though, I just really felt bad for that member who was taking it personally! So, I apoligize if I offended you by my response! </font>
