I'm gonna spend some time away from this board... - Page 3

Morrigoon · 01-30-2008, 02:32 PM

Jeez, I go to lunch and miss all the hubbub...

MMM: Perhaps you're taking missing meets too personally?

I mean, even if you never make it to any meets (I'm looking at you, Leo!) you're still a part of this community. In fact, you don't even need to apologize for not being able to make them. I think everyone here knows that you live way up in the farthest part of the Valley and have a job that gets in the way (hell, I live in the far south part of OC, so a lot of Hollywood swankings are just plain out for me).

Nobody "expects" you to attend meets, this isn't that kind of a group. I mean, sure we'd love to see you guys at stuff, but everyone has a life, and life doesn't always make it conducive to get to stuff. Maybe just don't worry about it so much?

I don't know what all was in the original PM, but based on what you've posted and what I've read in past threads, maybe what they're getting at is that you sound all hurt because you can't get to meets - but it's just not that big of a deal. You can make an event or you can't. Nobody holds it against you either way. I know I've posted the "Would love to but can't because...." responses in meet threads before myself, but I do it more to express an interest in the subject matter (in hopes of future similar meets I might be able to make) than to complain about the timing.

Ugh, I feel like I'm rambling. I hope something I said in there makes sense. Basically, I wouldn't stress over the not-able-to-get-to-meets thing. I don't think there's anyone on this board who could possibly make it to every single meet. We all have our various scheduling/financial issues that affect us and force us to make choices. You're certainly not alone in that, and nobody holds it against you.

I've been to one meet. I was scared and ran away.

I like it on the board, though.

I hear that's not the only place you like it...

I wasn't even there, and you got askeered?

Strangler Lewis · 01-30-2008, 03:32 PM

I think people who don't go to meets are the coolest.

MMG, if Jon Bon Jovi asked you to stay, would you?

I say take a break if you want.
I'm still on for April. No worries.

'm sad my dear and I hope you will come back, one does not speak for all here, as others have said

RStar · 01-30-2008, 05:23 PM

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

I know I've gotten so buisy that I can't make the meets much anymore. I'm lucky to run into someone by accident and say hi for two minutes. And I don't spend half the time on the boards any more.

Take care of yourself, and I hope to see you around just the same.

If you feel you need to take a break, or a permanent vacation, that's certainly your prerogative and we'll all respect that. I'm reading in your posts that it's one person who is making you feel uncomfortable about stuff, am I right? Then why throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak? Deal with that person via PM, e-mail or talk to one of us mods or admins and see if we can smooth things out, but why the self-imposed exile? Again, that is your decision, but I think you can see by the above posts that you will be missed if you decide to stay away.
