I know I said my last post was to be my last but I feel compelled to enter this one.
I'm sorry . . .
for hurting Lou
for feeling hurt because that word is beside my name
for asking that *that* word be removed from the subject line
for causing further friction
for people arguing with each other
for people getting PBCs
for one person (so far) getting blocked
for causing this entire mess
for feeling hurt that Lou could possibly think that there is a chance that I am threatening him or anyone else
for feeling even more hurt that Dr. Bob chooses to leave it there
for talking uncivil to Lou
for talking uncivil with Dr. Bob
for expressing how I feel
for hurting anyone else inadvertantly
for causing some to be annoyed or angered by me
for everythingPlease let it all stop so y'all can go back to being a peaceful community
Above all I have a major issue in life with hurting people, because it hurts me more. I can't live with the fact that I've hurt people or if there should be a reason that I have to intentionally (this happened to me IRL). I have been working on this with my therapist. I can't deal with all this hurt that I have caused here at PB. I apologize to EVERYONE. My therapist has been on vacation for 3 weeks and will be for another 3 weeks, so I haven't had her wisdom and support to deal with any of this. For those of you that don't understand why I am so upset about the word being beside my name, I'm deeply sorry. I'm not writing this post to explain my feelings or my faith. I think I've done far more than enough of that already.
Just know that I'm extremely sorry that I feel the way that I do and that has caused so much discord. PLEASE, move on to something else.
Thank you to those of you who have shown me love and support. I am very grateful but I want y'all to forget me and move on to whatever else you were doing at PB before this happened. I don't like to see all this bickering and I'm sooooo sorry that my feelings caused such pain and disruption.
Please accept my apology. If you choose not to, there are no hard feelings.
Thanks,
AG

You've nothing to apologize for, luv. Not a bit of it. Since you're new, you're probably unaware that this sort of sturm-und-drang on Admin is much more typical than the relatively pacific period that preceded Lou's unfortunate post with that header. I would like to make one last plea, however futile it might be, for you to stay. There is a way we've found among ourselves of dealing with things like this in the past, and I'm going to suggest it to all fellow Babblers now: We so clog this page and faith with posts that the offending headers will be forced into the archives. The posts can be one word long. It doesn't matter, so long as there are lots of them. You obviously have a ton of support here. And this post is hopefully the first step in expunging that awful word from view. And one of the greatest delights when this strategy succeeds (and I've not seen it fail) is that Dr. Bob's supposed omnipotence is exposed as false. Give us a chance. We've got a terrific bunch of people here overall. If you need to go away for a while during the time we're pushing the word toward the top of the screen and oblivion, I understand. But please do check in once in a while to see how we're coming along. Atticus

People get hurt sometimes. It doesn't mean you did anything horrible.
You aren't the cause of Babble not being a peaceful idyllic community, you know. :) A fair number of people here care a lot about things, and that tends to lead to passionate exchanges.
Deep breaths.
Look how many people care about you!!! What a wonderful thing.
I know it feels rotten to be in the center of a storm, but this too shall pass. The next storm will erupt. And in the meantime you've found a group of passionate people who care about you.
(I can't begin to tell you how many times Babble has been the very centerpoint of my therapy sessions. I think Babble bought my therapist a new car. Actually Dr. Bob alone could account for the new car. Babble probably put a down payment on his house.)
