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.
