Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Darlene, I hope you see this before you are deleted. I am sorry to see you go. I can understand you are offended by the language so I think it is appropriate for anyone that is using such language to note it in the subject line. Just like some of us warn there is Christian content in a message. I do think it is sad that only 18 people voted. Darlene, shouldn't we just be trying to be more loving and more tolerant with each other because we are ill? Have we all not been discriminated against enough? There are times when people make snide comments and I just delete them and chalk it up to them having a bad day; I don't take it personally. I do understand your feelings but I also know that you were put here to help others and I think you should stay. Think about changing your mind please because you do have something to offer this group. Hoping you return, Terri G. > > Trying to be fair to everyone, I created a poll to see what our list really > wants..........we have 483 members and sad to say, only 18 have voted. > So, I am closing the poll immediately. > > To those who have said, " just delete it " ........it is hard to do that when you > are an Owner or Moderator.....even if the subject line has a warning, it is > still the duty of the Owner to read each and every message.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Darlene,I prayed about this for the past couple of days. You have said it very well. I have my answer. I do not want to read language that is vile/inappropriate. Words DO have power. I have loved being a part of this group (until recently) and the friends that I have made but this is about my integrity and doing what I feel is the right thing. I will miss many of you. May God bless each and everyone in this group.
