Take time out if you must but please do not deprive your friends here of your company because of a run in with one person.

We all have the occasional spats but usually they mean nothing once the new day dawns. You would be truly missed were you to go.

Why leave,surely any probs could be sorted. I enjoy your posts

no don't go :-1

you are my very good friend on here and i don't like to see you upset.

:-4 Neffy

hell no dont go

Neffers, I think I know what post you mean. You have to consider the source.

Helefra, what difference would a new username make? It won't make some other people be less of a jerk toward you.

In spite of my own increasing unpopularity here :rolleyes:, I still have those true blue people who consider me a friend and want me to stay. You guys have them too. If we leave because of the chaff, then we lose and our friends lose too.

I'm not going anywhere and I hope you won't either. The nastiness will blow over as it always does.

Aw Neffy and Helefra, if you leave, whomever is getting under your skin has won.

I sincerely hope you just take breaks and remember your friends here will miss you.

There is always somebody around to pizz off somebody in forums, please don't be "run off"

If you like FG it's worth staying and enjoying. I would bet you have more people liking you than you do disliking you.

Please know your friends outweigh your enemies.

Sincerely from the heart Minks

red you are as popular as ever :-6







neffy sometimes you just have to ignore people ,i do it all the time cripes if i took notice of every one that said a bad word about me i would not switch on the pc or go outside the house .... but its up to you ... i personally if someone was annoying me would annoy them back and i'd never leave till they did i would not let them win





carter i think i can understand where you are coming from and i look forward to seeing you under your new name :-6

So, Cuz - thats means Vegas is out?

Let it blow over - really

Doesn't matter where you go - there's at least one everywhere

Patsy

Oh I want to clarify to Helefra how I meant that up there. I just saw that it might have sounded a little harsh and that is not what I meant! Sorry! I'd sure rather you came back under another name than to never come back at all!

I'll second that - whatever the username, you'll be welcome and valued.

here here :-6

Neffy, you don't need to leave, just ignore them.....

I sure hope neither of you leave. It seems to me that some people in this world, whether in RL or on the net, get pleasure from antagonizing others and causing harm. I've always suspectd it's because deep down, they're miserable, and like the saying goes - misery loves company. Please don't let the ramblings of the few keep you away from the many.

Neffy sweetheart - the decision to leave is ultimately yours but let me just say this....... people say things in the heat of the moment that they don't mean.

I love having you here and would miss you very much.



:-4:-4:-4

I think you should stay too.

I try hard not to but sometimes it just doesn't get across the way I say it. If RG goes too I'll have hit the jackpot, outraging three posters into leaving within a single day. I've only ever managed one at a time before.

Well, of course, you're the exception to the rule

Then again, in your antagonizing, you don't intend to cause harm.



As an aside, after further reading, I'd also like to add that sometimes, things come across differently than they're meant. Feelings get hurt sometimes, when it's not the intention. I hope both you will keep in mind how many dear friends you have here.

helefra;668734 wrote: I know how you feel neffy, I will be leaving soon too. :-1



If I come back it will be under another username.
I don't know either of you particularly well, but I've read nothing but good and interesting things from both of you. Just remember, when the good ones go, they increase the overall proportion of bad ones.

All childish nonsence.

bye

see ya later

that is very true statement neffy and helfy!



expecially when considering that this is an international forum, where many sayings, euphuisms, or inuendos have totally different meanings/intent in different countries. :-2



just take a hiatus (short break) from here for a few days, and then come back refreshed!

Everyone leaves FG at one time or another. The secret is to not get offended by other peoples opinions. Geez - I have my own which REALLY differ from a lot people here. This is what I like about FG. Close your PM down...don't talk to people who offend you. Come back with a new attitude.

Grin. It doesn't seem to matter that much these days anyway which forum one calls home/visits. Different colour schemes, some name variation, same topics, same posters.

:sneaky:

Helefra, I just hope you stay, whatever name you choose to go by.

think i must agree .apart from the MF red glitter thing i've not seen anything that one could even consider upsetting , how did some of the people even get through play school



if people want to leave ... leave





dont post so every one posts please stay then just carry on like whining and moaning





i'm the first person if some one is having a bad time to give away a few special moron healing beams but lately i've been looking at people moaning over and over again about how hard they have it and to be honest i just think there are other people on fg who really need support and are really really having a terrible life and they are comforting over grown whining babies with nothing at all wrong with them





sorry people unless you really are in the crappa how about you grow a back bone and ignore the thing that you consider a life changing insult but is really just the way you have decided to interpret some one else's written word ,and if you want to be the centre of attention post something funny or interesting post anything but for Pete's sake stop moaning and crying for nothing :-5



having said that if you or your loved ones are ill or you really are having a bad time (bad hair days dont count) old jimbo has a bag full of healing moron hugs here ..... worthy causes only though







sorry rant over can i have a hug now :wah:

GOOD RANT JIMBO,HAVE TO AGREE ON SOME OF WOT U SAID.NEFFY AND HELEFRA,STICKS AND STONE MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME.DONT LET EM GET TO U GIRLS,STAY.IGNORE THE BADDIES AND JUST TALK TO THE GOODIES.HEY JIMBO IM HAVING A BAD HAIR DAY,CANT I GET A HUG.LOL:D:D:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'm one of those who swept out of FG on a wave of indignation and a goodbye thread. And now? Well, I read here daily, occasionally post, and always play in the arcade. Do I feel a bit daft for not totally sticking with my original decision? Yes, I do, a bit But, at the time, that's "where I was."

I think that if only we can accept that changing our minds, our moods and the way that we are, is just being human, it'll make getting on together much easier. Some people will want to write good bye threads, others will just delete themselves, some will stay around and say nothing etc. etc. And everyone will react in their own ways to what's going on, none of which is necessarily right or wrong.

Since I've been posting on forums, I realise how quickly I can change from liking someone, to loathing them, to liking them again...and, as you say, Jimbo, since it's all about how we interpret the written word it's bound to be changeable.

And now I've forgotten the point I was going to make :-5 (that's what happens with age) so I'll just submit my pointless post

I'm glad you're still in waving range, theia. Deleting an identity is extreme, there's lots of intermediate states. An account can be prevented from logging in for a fixed period on request, for example.

I'm another member who left for several months & then returned. You cant do right for doing wrong in these circumstances. If you post a goodbye thread your thought childish or a drama queen, if you dont people say - the least she could have done was post a goodbye thread not just disappear, cant win :rolleyes:

Anyway hopefully Neffy & Helefra just need a break & will come back to us refreshed, if not best of luck to both you girls, it was nice knowing you :-4

has's already bin said, take time out.. let out steam...

Don't come back with the blue font Missy, it's a dead giveaway



Both should stay but you have to do what's right for yourselves.

Oh Neffy don't leave. Just come less as I do so you don't get chance to get upset. You are one of the genuine ones here.

Ali, (other one) why do you keep shouting? Is your Caps Lock stuck or something?

See, that's a big red flag for me to avoid such a place. That's why such wide variety is good.

This is why they call you wiisagi-ma'iingan around the lodge-fires: he whose rabid frenzy brings experience.

attica attica attica attica attica attica attica attica attica attica I had to take a breath.

Whats attica?

buttercup;669079 wrote: Whats attica?
Okay, this is the history of it.

http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~bjackson/attica.htm



Then in the movie Dog Day Afternoon, the crowd chanted it in support of the the men robbing the bank. In some areas (maybe just mine) it has kind of became a chant for people who want something or disagree with something but really have no idea what they actually want or disagree with.



In other words, I really have seen no problems, but just to go along with the sentiments I say Attica Attica Attica. Kinda supports both sides without offending either because I have no pony in this race but I want to protest for something. Make any sense at all?:)

buttercup;669079 wrote: Whats attica?


Hi Buttercup. Attica Prison in New York. They rioted in 1971 over poor living conditions.

From Wiki:

The Attica Prison riots were general prison uprisings that began at the Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York, United States, on September 9, 1971. In the end, at least thirty-nine people were dead.

The prisoners had demanded better living conditions, showers, education, and vocational training, as well as less censorship of their mail and visitors. At the time, inmates were given one bucket of water a week as a "shower" and one roll of toilet paper a month.

The original request was sent in a letter before any physical action. Then, responding to rumors of the impending torture of another prisoner, the prisoners revolted, taking prison guards as hostages.

It also says that the prison settled with the families of the dead inmates 27 YEARS LATER!!

A settlement of 12 million dollars went to the families of the dead prison employees in 2004.



To explain the "Attica! Attica!" call:

In the 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon, Al Pacino's character, Sonny, who is holding eight bank employees hostage, starts a chant of "Attica! Attica!" at the massed police outside, invoking the excessive police force used in response to the Attica riots. Many more pop culture references stem from this scene than from the riots themselves. For example, in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever Tony Manero, played by John Travolta, repeats Pacino's "Attica! Attica!" line. See Dog Day Afternoon in popular culture for many more examples.

There's more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attica_Prison_riots but I just put down the highlights.

Oops! Sorry YZ!! I didn't see you there.

Ok Red I will ask you. Did you understand kind of the way I was using it? It was meant to be humurous in a way.

RedGlitter;669088 wrote: Oops! Sorry YZ!! I didn't see you there.
No worries Red.



Wow, now I know how Spot feels having to explain my posts. Now I have to decide if that is a good or bad thing.

Yes, I sure did YZGI. Why?

Isn't it funny sometimes how something like that gets imprinted in pop culture and we just automatically know what it means?

And I've seen Dog Day Afternoon about five times I think.
