To Whom It May Concern

This may be the last you all will hear from me. 
I have my own real life stuff to deal with and 
thats my priority, and my duty before God. I 
wont get into online squabbles that should not 
be happening to begin with . Yes we all have 
hearts and feelings that get stomped on from 
time to time, but you have to be the bigger 
person in these situations and make peace 
asap. A life without peace will root you in 
bitterness and will gnaw at you like cancer. 
When i was new here you all treated me with 
kindness and respect, i loved you all for it and 
anyone who knows me knows i have never 
once made any negative or derogatory 
comment and if i ever offended someone i 
made peace in an instant. Examine your own 
hearts, be true to yourselves and God above, 
he truly blesses those who forgive. To those 
who have showed me love and kindness , i 
thank you, to those i havent had the pleasure 
to meet yet, please read my words and put 
them into practice here and you will be fine. I 
have prayed about my decision. I mean no 
one any disrespect. Love Carl.

My dear Carl, I hope that you are not really leaving. You are a true spiritual inspiration. I am not tarrying, I am passing through with a word from him. Nice poem it gives me strength. Don't give up the fight, if we only love those who loves us what good will that do. We have to spread the love for those who do not agree with us. Taking breaks helps us to gain more spiritual insights and deepens our understanding. We have to say something... true artist cannot never be silenced.

Strife derives from lack of respect, which for some reason in many occurs through lack of suitable brain development. I'd much rather have you stay but understand priorities. Why don't you just consider taking a leave of absence. In any case, all the best.

What? No, Carl ...don't let it be the last. Yes, priorities are priorities, I get that but your presence is very precious. So, do what you have to do but don't forget about us entirely. In the meantime I'll take your awesome advice to heart.
