Thank you so much!! BIG HUG from me...(^___^)

I have never come across this hate mail thank goodness. A few harsh words now and then but my main concern is how thoughtless words really do affect sensitive people. I have found the blogs getting a bit heavy these last few weeks and not having felt well I even feel affected by everyone.s problems and to be honest I have enough of my own... So glad you are staying and I know you can help lift the mood of the site with your lovely writing and sensitive personality xx

So glad you are staying Becca, there are so many good writers and people thinking of leaving or not renewing their pm. This is a shame that they feel they have lost their spark and enjoyment of the site.I found this site when I needed it and although I have made the odd gaff accidentley,

Hullo, Becca. I don't know wot happened, and it really isn't my business anyway(wot happened!? J/k lol). You seem to be a good, positive person(and genuinely good, not just someone who is good at typing positive responses, etc), so it's great that you decided to stay -- I didn't know you had tried to leave. Funny, I don't even want my long-standing 'enemies' to leave this site(is that normal?). And it appears that Frank helped change your mind, which is also great for me to see(as much as Frank may be misinterpreted by some, he has the tendency to be very supportive of people). Anything else I have to add has probably already been pondered, such as this site being a microcosm of our global village, so personal confrontations can become inevitable. It is a balancing act between growing armour, and not being too thick-skinned....there are already enough jaded, apathetic people, as is.

Becca, had you left, you would have lingered "In Shadows, Unseen", and that would be a shame. ;-)

It was meant as a compliment on a very good poem written by a talented young lady.

Each person who puts kindness and respect as a priority,(such as yourself) is much too important to the rest of us,that we feel sad to lose you. I'm so glad you decided to rethink your decision. I'm afraid there will always be those who love to stir the pot, or hurt others, who have egos to fan the fires..but in the end, respect always wins. So hope you hang in here, and not let the quirks of human nature discourage you. And please remember, that your muse is not lost..We all go through periods when we can't find inspiration to write..it doesn't mean it is gone...just taking a rest. Glad you will be here when it returns, Becca. (ps..I have a lovely daughter-in-law with the same name, by the way!)

Becca, so glad you're staying, I left twice in one year because of stupid selfish juvenile reasons---but then I can be stupid selfish and juvenile way too often---perhaps someday I'll grow up--nawwww--don't you either silly--stick around and if anyone gives you any crap let me know---luv ya XXOO

Glad you are back, Becca. I did the "meltdown" as well, but did not repost my older poems. Go for it girl - knock their socks off with a new spirit in your poems. There is just one place left in my ZaniLa Poetry contest - I dare you ;-) Love, Su

This little guy (MY AVATAR) Didn't have any friends ...but it made him very perceptive...of who he'd want for a friend...Remember , You are not the first to leave for the same reasons ..I have...and many others here have also...You are in good company. I'm so happy to see you.

If someone is bothering you there is a way to block them so they cannot comment on your poems. New beginnings are the best. i need one as well.
