Dear Confused,

It's only a sprain. Take two beers and call me in the morning.

Loukeeya, don't let the naysayers give you pause. The idea that there must be some sort of 'purity' in a community forum is bollocks, and simply shows a complete lack of perspective.

Even a cursory examination of the forum topics on this site show a fair amount of diversity, indicating (to anyone with an actual, functioning brain) that there is no reason why someone can't post whatever the hell they want to (I can't say that the post in question did anything for me, but I wasn't lame enough to be offended by it, that would have been even more childish than the post itself, arguably, might have been).

There's actually a 'Skinning' section of the forum for those who demand purity of subject. I really don't care if the general subject forum gets dedicated to pictures of cats (or whatever). It's called 'general' for a reason.

oh dear i really wish i had kept my big mouth firmly shut  lol

i wanted to cheer myself up so posted a post about nothing, sheer nonesense. 2 days prior i had heard that a very dear friend had died. humour is how i cope, and creating tons of art as deviantart will testify having been bombarded by me in the past few days.

my friend phoned me from hosp to let me know he had been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas which had now spread to his liver. they were sending him home for his last few months. 2 days after our chat he died, this was a person who had a huge heart, loved people and worked alongside me as a nurse on our difficult liver ward. it was our sense of humour that helped many patients thru their transplants and also their families. even now i am not working they still call me and my patients still message me on facebook to say they miss my bubbly prescence. we both had a great sense of humour and even during our final phone call i managed to get a laugh from him. ok i dont claim to be the greatest skinners or most knowledgeable pc person but i am compassionate and i do need humour.

i appreciate all your comments as i am old enough to be able to see both sides of an issue, so peace love and harmony to you all x

I just read this, having been on a plane on my way to visit my sister yesterday (it is where I am now)....I hope you don't go, everyone puts their foot in their mouth at some point, everyone makes mistakes...I don't know what was your cause for wanting to leave, but as you can see you have a lot of friends here, crazy friends too I might add, good people...and all want you to stay.    

sorry to hear about your friend loukeeya....my neighbour died from pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago....it's certainly swift...

Aww lou, I am so,  so sorry to hear of the sad news.... but please stay  and as so many have said we would miss you too much.  besides who gives a flying toss   the ones that have upset you, if you leave they are the ones that win don't give them the satisfaction, please  stay, you are among friends here

Sounds good to me, mine are very photogenic.

+3 kp, one from each cat

i feel really bad now as i hate conflict, its no exscuse coz of loosing my friend to create havoc. ok i thought the post was funny but hey what do i know eh?  lol

i appreciate all of your kind words so many thanx  

loukeeya,

You are a valuable asset to this community, not just your skins, but also your outlook on life.  You should feel good by all the positive response given to you by all of your friends in this community.  Have you also noticed that none of the people critical of your post post have shown up on this thread?

Keep skinning, keep posting, and keep in mind all the friends you have here.

One person's humour is another person's... 

I find there are too many major life issues to really get riled over a single post but that is just me. Ahh well. Taker easy and enjoy.

there's no conflict....no havoc.....just differences of opinions....

there are so many people on this site....we're never gonna be all like-minded....would be boring if we were...

just chill...

1: You did NOT create havoc, nowhere near it... and it's not your fault if some people are a bit thin skinned.

2: Even IF you did create havoc, which you didn't, the people with the right/responsibility to chastise you are the mods and/or admins... NOT anybody else.

3: If Jafo sees the need to chastise you, don't be too eager go jumping across his knee for a spanking... he'd enjoy it too much.

BTW, I'm sorry to hear of your friend's passing.

Loukeeya, while my view on the subject has not changed, I would be happy If you stuck around, everyone has good days and bad days.

Heres to more good ones
