exbeliefneters: see ya.

[Windsinger]

Yup. I'm done.
You know where to find me.

Obviously, opinions that are strong are unwelcome. (right or wrong)

"site god" feel free to delete this, it was just a courtesy message anyway.

teach me to not trust my perceptions!

THERE ARE RULES?!??!

[Epona44]

:confused: What do you mean?

[Danustouch]

I mean that mysticwicks has one rule.

Respect the paths of others. If she left because she was "Spoken to"...that is the only rule she could have violated.

[flar7]

am always sorry to see a member leave.:(

[Lavender]

Whatever.

Obviously, Windsinger, you didn't bother reading the posts. Strong opinions are welcome - but disrespect of other's path is not!

[Kaylara]

Yes, and making a member feel unwelcome because you don't agree with their strong opinion is also not cool. I am sorry to see you go... You are welcome to come back whenever you wish, and I for one will miss your input.

[Danustouch]

This is all that I'm going to say...there is a difference between strong opinions, and telling another person that they are not practicing their path, ethically.

*smiles softly*

The modus operandi is a little different here, Kat. I don't expect everyone to be able to operate in a place that's largely different from the free-for-all of Beliefnet.

But for me, it's really something that's needed right now.

I hope you'll keep in touch, I've always greatly respected you and your ability to speak your mind no matter what.. *smiles*

Take care and may the light shine on you.

Strong opinions are welcome.

Having a strong opinion doesnt mean you have to be an a$$hole.

Be well.

I have a feeling I missed some goings-on here. . .

**Shrugs, then sighs** To each their own, I suppose. Me. . . I like it here.

And suddenly there are messages all over that about strange goings on. I missed bunches apparently. Kinda glad I did though. Some of doesn't appear to be very friendly.

[Myst]

Hey I love strong opinions. Just don't particularily like being insulted. *shrugs* Oh well, here's hoping you find a forum more suited to your tastes.

[Mythrel]

I don't understand how people react at times...I'm sorry I find this post childish...in my opinion I see the first post as:

I voiced an opinion (probably not the most appropriate way) and was scolded for it...well screw you guys I'm going home....

bleh bleh bleh...

this is the second "I Hate you All" posts I have read in 2 days now.... can someone explain why immature people chose to come here and pi$$ and moan about things here, and criticize us, point fingers at us, cry, whine, be an utter annoyance, and then run away when we defend ourselves or tell them to tone it down and not offend people...

makes no sense to me...
as it goes, I wish Windsinger no hard feelings...
Blessed Be and Many long happy years to you....

[Danustouch]

Ya got me, Mythrel. I'm wonderin' just about the same thing. It was always my belief, that if you wanted to leave a place, you don't make a scene about it. You just leave. It is obvios by the sheer numbers who are on this board, that it is serving a useful purpose to people,and that people like it here. If a few people dont like it, then the best thing for them to do, is to go someplace that better suits their individual tastes. No need to make a scene, at all. Unless ones' motive was to TRY to inflict some sort of imaginary damage. If not, it would seem far more polite, and ethical, to use the private message system, to impart farewells.

[Enchantedlight]

Hmmm, I think goodbyes are fashionable, so people can beg you to stay, gets weary after the third or fourth time though :lol:
If you don't want to debate, stay on the fence, I do ;)

Quoth Mythrel:

If I could do that, then I could explain why people piss and moan about another person behind her back, after she's gone.

Maybe Kat didn't fit well with the atmosphere of this place. . . **shrugs** but folks, she's gone, let's drop it please?

[Azure]

PB, I think we have an advantage that most others here don't, in that we've seen Windsinger's smart and worthwhile responses often on Beliefnet for ages. I think the message was really intended for those of us who are used to her and what she does - and I can understand why those who have no experience with her would be confused.

I'm very sorry she's gone, I will miss her - I haven't checked in on Bnet in weeks, even on the Recon boards. Of course, I've been gone a lot from everywhere recently. But Kat does seem comfortable on the free for all that is Bnet, and I for one am glad there is someone there to stand up for people who think.

Those of us who abandoned it at a point where everything sucked are happy to have found a refuge here. But all places aren't for all people.


I hope she'll come back at some point and you'll have a chance to really see her as she is. In the meanwhile, for those of you who don't really know Windsinger, I agree with PB - the issue should just drop.

There are several reasons why I like you, Mythrel. You intolerance for bull$hit being one of them. Thanks.

I was going to leave this one alone....but nah.

PB, yes...she is gone. But the damage she was trying to inflict on this community is still right here in this post. I could delete it I guess, but then that would just make it where both sides could not get there point across...

When someone makes an exit like this then we have the right to counter on that exit whether you like it or not.

No, none of us got to see Kat as all of you saw her and that is a shame. But, its not our fault either.
