Not sure if many of you will know who I am, but after many years here I am leaving.
I might still hover around and have a nosey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But won't be posting. You're the nicest bunch of people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But due to a few, I no longer have any freedom of speech and everything I say can be turned into a personal attack, accusing me of being this that and the other, 'this could destroy your future career' etc.etc. It really saddens me. So I think my time here is over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm no-where near thick skinned enough for this, I give up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/peace2.gif) Thanks for all the help and advice i've been given over the years - from before I'd ever touched a violin to now being in music college, I really wonder if I'd even be here without the inspriation and help from everyone here! So thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thanks.gif) Good luck with all your music making! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party1.gif) |

I read the thread in question before it was edited extensively and didn't see any wolf pack behaviour.
All I saw was one person who objected to some of the generalisations which Ffliwt was using and advised her not to use them on a public forum as they could be construed as racist remarks. And another person agreed. As Ffliwt's comments have now been deleted she must have agreed that it would be more sensible to do so. The matter is finished and dealt with amicably and there is no reason to leave the forum and I hope you won't. |

Well if the net result is that a long-standing forum member feels the need to leave, then I wouldn't say it was amicable. |

Well if the net result is that a long-standing forum member feels the need to leave, then I wouldn't say it was amicable. OK, maybe "amicable" was the wrong word. Whatever I try to write just doesn't come out right so I'd better leave it at that. But I'm still sorry Ffliwt feels she needs to go and hope that this will all be forgotten in a few days' time. |
