Goodbye FG

[OpenMind]

Many things have been said in faith that turn out to be wrong. Many things are said in the heat of the moment.
Many things are said to insult others and cause upset without censorship.
An uncorroborated statement by the forum gardener closing my thread constitutes reason enough to withdraw my support from this forum on the grounds of biased and unreasonable censorship.

Goodbye FG and all my mates, particularly those who have taken time out to become my friends and post such encouraging commnets in my profile. Please forgive me for having not reciprocated. The intent was there but the time was not.

[anastrophe]

um. i'm not an admin here, so i speak only for myself, as ex-admin: ladycop has no "friends" because the "friends" profile system wasn't in place back when she was a member!

as far as the uncorroborated comment, i also can't speak for the head gardener, but, uh, unless *you* are an admin too, who is going to corroborate the reasons (note plural) why ladycop was banned? 'using her right to free speech' is so far from being one of them i...i...well, it's like saying hummingbirds are made of bricks. it has nothing to do with reality.

but i'm nobody. this is ancient history, i don't understand why you'd leave forumgarden over something that was over and done with months and months ago.

i think forumgarden's history of banning users - with the exception of spammers - well, the number can be counted with one hand. anyone suggesting that forumgarden bans people without just cause is simply wrong.

i hope i don't step on any toes by speaking up.

Haven't seen a goodbye thread for a while.

I vowed to post this attachment every time I saw one. I predict you'll be back. When you are ready, fear not. The Garden always welcomes prodigal children with open arms. From what I've seen.

OpenMind, you are one of the finest folk in here, and there are some very good people. Please, don't leave.

OM. I sincerely hope you reconsider. I don't see anything that cannot be explained away regarding this matter. There will be many who know the why's and wherefor's about this matter, and I'm positive someone can shed some light on it for you.

Although I can understand your annoyance, please take a few days, to consider the many friendships you have made in here. The idea of walking away has happened to many at some stage. It's a perfectly normal reaction to have, but if you allow yourself a few days grace, you may feel differently. I know that's what it took me, when I felt this was the only option left, and I'm glad to say I was persuaded not to quit.

I think I can say without fear of contradiction , that every member in here, would echo my earnest request , that you reconsider.



Clancy.

I get the feeling I missed something here. I hope you change your mind.

I was truly sad to read your post OM, I will miss you, if you wont reconsider take care X

I was shocked to wake up and read your thread, OM. I was expecting to find that it was an amusing "take" on the one by Acc.

Please take time to reconsider. You're a part of the Garden and we will miss you if you go.
