I've Had Enough.

[Cataholic]

Gina,
I only want to say that as long as I have been a member of this board, I have never, ever, ever seen the Mayor violate someone's privacy. Never. I have shared personal things with her, heck, I have even had disagreements with her, and never have I seen her do or be anything less than a caring, private individual.

I will go out on a limb here, but, for sometime now, I have thought the situations in your personal life- which you have shared with us- have been such that most people wouldn't have been able to handle them. You have been kicked out of your home, hospitplized, assualted, stranded, suffered tremendous loss of your ark, and prolly more than we know. I do not think PT is your "issue", but, life in general. So, while it might seem that PT is the source of your struggles, from an outsider's perspective, PT is just one of many, many struggles you might have going on.

I wish you well.

Johanna

Read this earlier and wasn't sure when it was posted.

If it is a recent thread I would just say there is no need for you to leave - the internet is wonderful in so many ways but causes so many problems with misinterpretation of what has been said.

The pm facility is there for this precise reason - a one to one conversation will help clear up issues

I'm sorry if you've felt let down. I don't do a lot of chatting in here, but, I do read and view, and I will miss your posts and photos.

Gina, I do hope you think twice about leaving PT, we are here as your cyber family and always will be!
You and your ark will be in my thoughts and prayers!
{{HUGS}} to you Gina!

Oh no, Gina, I do NOT want you to leave!! I don't understand why you got bad pm's, you are such a sweet person....! You've always been one of my favorite buddies here, and I don't want to see you go....
Please, reconsider.....

I'm in shock for so many reasons....1) that someone could/would want to be negative to such a wonderful caring person, 2) that there isn't anything that can be done about it, 3) that this is what you feel you have to do.

I am so sad to see you go. I do have to agree with Johanna in that you've been dealt a lot of hard times in the recent past, so this kind of petty cat fighting (no pun intended) is the last thing you need when we're all here for the love of our pets. There are a lot of stupid arguments that go on here. I, personally, am upset with someone but I'll never meet that person and they'll never meet me, so it's not worth carrying it on. Besides, most of us are adults and I can just ignore or avoid that person. Simple as that. As much as PT is a cyber family, it's just as easy to remember that we're all strangers in reality. I could probably walk past you on the street and not even now it's you and vice versa. That's not to say that I don't care about you or that I wouldn't love to meet you because neither are true. My point is to not take things so personally. I know it's difficult given all you have going on in your life, but is the negativity your experiencing worth losing the positivity too?

Either way, I respect your decision. Please keep in touch. I'll PM you my e-mail address.

Goodbye Gina. I respect your decision.
