I have sat and thought about this since yesterday and i am not going to be on here very much anymore. I apologise to Boothros if i upset her and for the unfriending part to anyone for that i am sorry and yes i got that part wrong but i am not going to apologise for wanting to talk to someone even if they are reluctant to talk to me back. I am not going to friend lock this because there is no point. What hurts me the most is the comments that were left and how quick you were to judge the other person without knowing what was actually said in what should have been a private discussion and then to go on and discuss it further on facebook is something that i can't comprehend. So there is only one thing left to say and that is thankyou for any comments on anything that i have posted and goodbye.

Oh no! Don't do that! I can understand if you go, but I would be sad that you go. I see it like you said: what is said in a private discussion and not via an open post on anybody's journal should be left in private. It is a discussion between two person and shouldn't be dragged out into the open.

I didn't notice the dicussion on facebook, but that is even more cruel in my opinion because there the other person has no possipility to say anything if he or she isn't on facebook. For me that is sort of cowardice because I then know, that the other can't defend herself.

Hope to hear from you one way or the other. Take care!

i am really sorry but what was said hurt too much and there is no coming back from that and what hurts me even more is that there are people who commented who i have never spoken to before and they were eager enough to put the other person down and that is something that i can't forgive.

Thankyou so much.

I’ll miss you 😘

Yeah, I had a read too and still can’t get my head around the wtf aspects of this situation. (Facebook?) Anyway, I hope we cross digital and physical paths soon :)

yeah well as someone has just pointed out at the safehouse it takes all sorts but don't worry i won't stop where i am not wanted.

I am sure our paths will cross elsewhere and it's been nice getting to know you.

Thankyou.

I hope you don't go for good. Fwiw, your posts with all your beautiful pics are much appreciated!

Thankyou so much and I'm glad that you have enjoyed looking at each and every one of them.

I haven't decided yet on what my lj future will be but what I do know is that what was said really hurt and that has certainly dented my confidence.

Alison, i wasnt going to respond because i didnt want to rake over old ground. However no one wants you to disappear, including me! So i thought i would just say my piece. I have a facebook account on which i dutifully used to like what people had posted and generally be friendly. But i found that in situations where i wasnt a close friend of the person concerned any innocuous thing i wrote seemed to cause offence. Its like people feel that social media allows them to be outraged at the drop of a hat. I dont know the situation here and i dont want to, but my answer was to keep a presence but not interact particularly. I also immediately cut out anyone who i felt was reacting negatively towards me. Remember you dont have to justify why you keep anyone on a friends list , on any platform whether here or facebook. Social media can give a weird slant to acquaintanceships and connections. You arent obliged to keep them all. Interact at the level that suits you and ignore the rest.
PS sorry for phone speak and lack of punctuation but am not with my laptop right now.

thankyou so much for getting intouch and you learn from your mustakes and that certainly refers to me but my reasons for what i did (or asked) have caused upset which was never my intention but the hurtful replies, especially from people that i have never spoke to make me feel like i want to curl up and hibernate.

i don't feel able to be here at the moment. That may change at some point but certainly not at the moment.

Thankyou for your comment which is much appreciated.
