Trin~please don't leave JU. A LOT of folks (including myself~believe it or not) like and care about you a lot, and really enjoy reading your creative and artistic blogs on a regular basis. I am certain MANY folks even look forward to your latest articles~I know I have on many ocassions myself. So please stay with us, huh? PLEASE.
I think Capt. Cornbread's words make a lot of sense. He admits he wasn't even all that upset with your post, and perhaps his comment was even taken the wrong way? I am wondering if you took mine the wrong way now too? Because I would not even have bothered to say anything to you~unless I truly cared about you, etc. I mean, if you meant nothing to me as a human being and a blogger~why would I even be upset or disappointed by anything you said? I was disappointed because I know what a creative, intelligent, warm-hearted, and very individualistic (which I admire most about you) person you truly are. So your blog just caught me by surprise.
But just like the Capt~I'm not even upset about it anymore. I am a hundred times more upset at the prospect of you leaving us~please stay with us, huh? So many people will be VERY disappointed if you go. And I will be among the disappointed ones. So just reconsider maybe, k? Because we all speak out in anger sometimes? And we regret it later on. And a few people were a bit upset? But I see it as being a thing of the past, and I truly hold no grudge or bitterness towards you. I mean, the stuff you said about me was VERY tame. Not especially harsh at all. I was just more concerned about some of the other bloggers feelings, and so I acted accordingly.
But if Capt Cornbread says it's all good, and can let go of the situation~then I honestly believe others might be able to also? And the Capt wants you to stay. I want you to stay (A LOT!) And I see many other JU folks have sent you heart-felt comments suggesting you please stay here with us. So I think you should reconsider and stay, huh? It's all in the past. So many people truly like and respect you here. I am one of those folks too. So won't you please reconsider now? I DO care about you a lot. And that's why I don't want you to be hurting now, and feeling like you must run away from us here. I really do believe most of us want you to stay big time. So I just hope that all our comments now might convince you of how much you are truly respected and loved by so many of us. PLEASE DON'T GO, TRIN.
