It just ain't the same anymore...

To my friends, who know who they are....I wish you the best of everything and if you want to stay in touch PM me. I am going to set up a site for a select few who know how to truly care, advise and support each other. On that site members will be invited, so I guess if you don't get an invite you know your past actions here were not always appreciated!

I was going to respond to this, but it's all been said before and more eloquently than I could have put it.

I dunno, are we back in high school now? We're not cool enough to be part of the elite clique?

Best of luck to you both, Sukie and Michelle. Honestly, I've never had any problems with you two. But this post kinda makes me feel icky.

then you need my patented vj icky off spray! only $12.99!

Hehehehe, well, I guess I just wanted to add one more thing to this particular sentence. I am pretty sure I am not going to get an invite either- not because of anything I have said or not said but because I don't think I have ever had any exchanges with Sukie and am totally an unknown quantity to her. Am I worried about it? Not one bit. I haven't checked how many people are on these forums but I suspect that they number in the hundreds if not in the thousands. I have been here several months already and I still come across people every day who have been here for some time who are new to me, plus there are also new members coming on all the time. So, while I appreciate that Sukie has some people she doesn't care to invite to her list, I suspect that the ones she does invite to her list will be vastly outnumbered by the ones she doesn't. Afterall, there will be hundreds of those she doesn't know either - and it is all perfectly fine. If we find friendships in these forums, well and good; if we don't, well that is well and good too. Life is always what we make of it - no one else can do that for us - or against us either. So, vivre la difference and let's get on with our lives, however we choose to live them - and let everyone else get on with theirs.

Sukie, Michelle, and any others who I haven't had the pleasure to get to know well enough to call friends, may your visa journeys be happy and your lives complete whether you are a part of these forums or not.

I usually don't post much here in VJ unless it's something I feel strongly about, so here goes....

I know Sarah personally, we actually met here on VJ a year and a half ago and live 7 miles apart. I have not talked to her for a couple of weeks and have only read this thread today. It actually is the perfect example of what she was talking about in the first place. We have discussed VJ many times and laugh at some of dynamic that occurs here. I can assure you all she is not the "drama queen" you portray her to be. She is a very strong, independant woman who can take the ####### as well as give. It is true that there are some on here that use rudeness as their MO and post to make waves and then there are others who cannot take the least bit of criticism. I am one who enjoys reading the flame war and drama, but it does get out of hand at times and gets malicious. If some of you remember, I was the OP of the infamous "intimidated" thread that got deleted. For those of you who don't, some of us in chat one night decided to stage a huge flame war just to show how riduculous it really is and to make everyone laugh.

I don't spend as much time of VJ as Sarah, so I don't get as involved, but, I am very disappointed that some in this community chose to berate her for a decision and explanation. I know she has made alot of friends on here and I think she was just trying to give the community an explanation as to why she won't be here in the future and to give those people who she has developed a repore with a chance to keep in touch. She does have a point about the atmosphere around here lately, I have read some pretty offensive posts lately. Being a long time member myself, I have watched the dynamic change from time to time and hopefully people will lighten up once again. It IS sad to see long term members leave, especially those who post regularly. I miss alot of the members who used to be on here when I first came, but sh$t happens and things change.

Yes, this is the internet and a public forum where people are entitled to their opinion and to express it, but, I can assure that some of you were way off on this one.

OK, that's all I wanted to say. Flame on.

You can do better than this, LisaD.

approveme...I am not pointing fingers at anyone...if that is what you mean. If I remember....LisaD was one of those in chat that night. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just didn't like the way Sarah was getting raked over the coals in general. I know most of you have never met her, but I have and thought I should come to her defence. I also wonder what would be said if we all had to sit in a room together without the safety of the keyboard. Food for thought.

you are a Lier.. no one mentioned sara. why you come on here making ch it up?

seems like your a drama queen too.

[Anyta Holland 1]

I definately think that people need to chill out 'round here....

Also, people here are old enough for "others" to come in their defense... As far as I am aware she's gone, because she decided so, so why come and defend her?

Who is sukie175? I am thinkin some sort of vip in here lookin at this fiasco. She left. So what?

[ceriserose 1]

you are a Lier.. no one mentioned sara. why you come on here making ch it up?

seems like your a drama queen too.

Sarah is Sukie175's real name. I'm thinking that since Danette knows Sarah in real life, she used that name rather than the login id one when posting.

Unless I'm misreading your post...in which case, oops on me!

Ah, but in the grand tradition of VJ, everyone needs to deposit their 2+ cents. Myself included.

I'm out to goof off with da hubster now so I'll be a non-contributor.

Okay well I didn't see anything about you meaning this was in chat. You said Danette was a liar and Sara wasn't mentioned. I thought we were still only in the thread.

And you know how long this thread will last...for as many people as needs to say what they want!
