My opinion never matched theirs on many things but I was always up front with them and never attacked them in any way. People only have worth to them if they follow their beliefs. Frankly I am more sad for them then I am for me but you cant fight the dark with the dark and I refuse to walk away from the light.

Tisha,
You and I seemed to almost always agree, and although you were more vocal in what you said, I spoke up as much as I felt I could get away with, without getting banned. And Bella was always in the same court too. That's why this forum exists!
When you gave up your moderator status at pherotalk, it was almost a straight plunge into a pit of darkness for them, and they were already sliding down a slippery slope. I hated to see you go, but was also thrilled for you because you had invested far more time and effort than anyone should have ever asked or expected of you, and I was glad to see you might finally have a chance to pull yourself away and havce a real life again.
It really is a shame, because I really did enjoy being a member of that community for a long time, and I've never been one to join or play in forums! It just had such an incredible group of peopleand flow of energy that you couldn't help but get sucked in. But from the time they started talking about editing posts and censorship it started going downhill, till it got so bad that I madde my exit a couple of weeks ago.
Regardless, we have a new home, and hopefully one that can be everything they were at one time, and more. I am really exicited about the momentum we've got started here after only a few days being live. And, it's nice to be around friends again, were we can all say anything we want, without fear of big brother looking over our shoulders and editing or deleting our posts.

Well, as awful as things may seem, this stuff doesn't hold too much weight for me right now. I lost my brother just two weeks ago. He was only 59 and died of a heart attack. It puts things like this bit of drama into perspective as being really insignificant... and really not more than a bit of dusty air on a hot summer afternoon.

Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. You are right though, when you look at the bigger picture, it does put things into perspective, and all the drama and mud-slinging really is insignificant and just a little blot of ugliness on the platter of life.
