forever.

sorry, i can no longer handle being a mod, or even a member of this commmunity.

most of you are great people. many though, with all due respect, have yet to learn what it means to be 'open minded'. Not really the mods/admins/owners here.... just some of the members, i'd rather not deal with them, and as a mod, i can't just block people.

You can say that i'm not "open minded"...but i've never said ONE SINGLE PERSON was WRONG for believing what they did. I just may have a different opinion about it. and that's my OPINION, which may very well be WRONG, or RIGHT, but why does anyone really CARE since it's only MY opinion, and therefore only affects ME unless you are so incredibly sensitive that you are actually offended by the fact that people THINK differently than you... and well that's your problem, so sorry, i hope you find a way to get past it.

I may have desperately tried to give people FACTS... but well.. i suppose that people just don't pay attention to those facts since i'm just far too opinionated and offensive

And even if i dropped my mod privaledges, and was just a member, the situation would remain. I'm just too "offensive" to people, and i refuse to hold back my true feelings just to make people believe the "facts" that I state in between my many opinions. If people want to judge my ability to KNOW something based on my PERSONALITY or PERSONAL beliefs, then well, sorry, too bad, i'm leaving, now you don't have to deal with me at all.

I'm tired of sitting here, trying to make peace, and keep the rules from being broken. too much pressure, cause if i state my opinion, even if i SAY OUTRIGHT that i am NOT PERSONALLY ATTACKING someone... i'm still apparently offending people.

don't try and convince me to stay. I stayed as long as I did because I think this is a great place, it's just that some of the people here are pushing my buttons and well rather than blow up and fight and lose sleep over this, i'm simply leaving. sorry if this bothers anyone.

mol, i'm sorry to leave you stuck to find someone to replace me in the forums that I was mod-ing in. You're a great person, along with Semele, and EW, and all of the other admins and mods that keep this place running as smoothly as possible.

Kaylara, thanks for showing me this place to begin with, I suppose that I have learned something here, just not what I was expecting to learn. You know i'm always going to be your sister *hugs*. You just have most patience in this particular "activity" than I do. You, and all the rest of the people that are my "family" in RL (away from all this online stuff), will always remain my family, and will always be in my heart. You know where to find me. *more hugs*

To everyone else, including people that get on my nerves, and people that i've offended and whatnot, I wish you the best. I have nothing against anyone here personally, since i don't know more than a handful of you personally anyways.

so well... good bye. if you need to find me, you know where i am. e-mail me, or IM me, i'd love to talk.

there is no need to respond to this thead, cause i'm not coming back. ever. If you really NEED to talk to me, as I said, my contact info is on every one of my posts, and i assume that my profile is gonna stay in the database, so the contact info is there too... so drop me a line if you truly feel the need to do so. But like i said, dont' convice me to try and stay here. I have made my choice, and it wasn't an easy one to make.

It is time for me to move on. Peace.

things happen and we feel we cannot take it anymore. I completely understand but trully wish you wouldn't go. 'sides, how are the rest of us supposed to deal with the Political Pegan without you?

Hugs to you dear friend. We didn't talk a lot but I surely respected your insight.

Goddess walk with you and yours.

Humbly, and sad,

Lucidia, if anyone can agree with you and understand how you feel, honestly I think I do. If things continue as they are, I think I will be following your foosteps. I will be in contact with you.

Brightest blessings.

I won't try to convince you to stay, honey. I know you have a lot going on right now in your life, and this can only be an added aggrivation to you. So I wish you peace, love, and joy. And I wish you all the best of luck in all of your endeavors. I hope things start to look up for you. If you do not mind, I would like to send some energy your way. Please keep in touch via AIM. I'll miss you. I didn't know you for long, but you were always there to listen to my rants..and a couple of times we talked, I felt a "Sisterly" vibe from you. Hope you get this message...I'll miss you!

Brightest Blessings,
Danus.

Hi Lucidia,

I'm not really thinking that you'll be reading this any time soon, so I will be emailing you, but I think your parting deserves recognition.

You have been one of the most interesting, funky, and enjoyable members of MysticWicks. I loved reading your posts and checking out your (kick-ass!!) websites. While I won't try and convince you to stay as you requested, I will miss your posts here. They were always a highlight for me.

Good luck with your family - I know things aren't easy, but I know you are working towards ways to make it better. Good luck in your career - you got skillz, grrl! Don't ever let anyone tell you you don't! And good luck in your spiritual journey - may the Goddess rest Her hand upon your shoulder and always let you know She is near.

Blessed Be, friend!

Sorry to hear you are leaving :( (or rather left), you are a lovely person and I enjoyed reading your posts. I wish you well and hope you do come back - even if it is only to read what everyone has written.

Brightest Blessings to you and yours Lucidia

I think its clear, whether you're a mod or not, that thick skin and the ability to let the worse things slide will help you alot.

Most arguments I see could simply be stopped by ceasing to post for a time on that thread. Give the thread subject time to cool. Quit beating peoples heads and they will quit hitting back.
With malicious people, and thankfully they're few, then mod and if that dont work put in hands of admin. I know you all know this already, but we seem to forget in the heat of an argument.

Lucidia will be missed, she posted some interesting and controversial facts.

Hope she logs on and sees all the well wishes. :)

Lucidia! Don't Go!!!!

I just got back from 1 week of backpacking in the White Mountains to find out that some of our MysticWicks friends are leaving! What the heck happened while I was gone? I just want you to know I have always enjoyed reading your posts, and wish you would stay! Although I pretty much keep to myself and am not a big poster here, I come to Mysticwicks on a daily basis - morning, noon and night and read everything I can and you would truly be missed......

that you feel it is necessary to leave......
while I didnt always agree (or disagree) with everything you said ..... I always read your posts because I knew there would be some thinking and reason and interesting content in what you posted, which is what I think is one of the criteria for intellgent exchange of ideas and perspectives. So I am sorry to see a thinking woman go .........
Blessings

:( You probably won't see this, Lucidia, but we'll miss you here. Thanks for letting us in on your website prototypes, and finding me those awesome Magic Marshmellow people.
