that yesterday's discussion was really not worth leaving the boards. I thought long and hard about it and there are plenty of people here that I enjoy posting with and hearing about. I never left because I was too "sensitive" or whatever. Trust me I don't run from anything or anyone. But sometimes, it is best just to leave somehting alone. As for my problem lately with the boards, well, I just tend to get frustrated when I see people ganged up on or someone condemning someone (and it doesn't have to be someone on the boards just in general) because what they did does not match their so-called "value" or "belief" system. Things like that just annoy me. So, when I see those types of posts, I am just going to stay away from the debates and leave my opnion to myself.
So, to those of you who care, I will be posting here and there. To those of you who don't care, well, if you didn't care you wouldn't be reading this post, now would you?

I would really miss you if you stopped posting! Simon (hubby) will probably start posting a bit, so maybe you and Shane won't be the ONLY guys in the Living Room (as Bob tends to stick to EFI).
Anyway, I care and I'm very glad to hear you're staying. Plus we need to hear both sides of the first helpforibs marriage!

I hope you realize that when I said what I thought about that whole mess, I never meant that anyone who thought differently was wrong or had bad values!! Really, truly. I'm glad you're not leaving. And I hope you don't ever feel condemned. Frankly, it's nice to hear a guys side of things once in a while.

I'm so glad you thought long and hard about it Tommy! Kinda knew you wouldn't stay away
There has to be more men on the boards! Too many women can get.......well you know......we need someone like you to break it up with your opinions which are male based! I think you should be able to speak as a man...uh hello??? that's what you are! Please don't feel out of place because the women overpower this board. I read most of all the posts kinda after the fact and I don't think you were wrong at all in giving your opinion as a man. In fact I totally agreed with what you said and was not offended AT ALL.
BIG HUGS Tommy for coming back!!!!

Thanks Linz, that was really nice of you to say. You know, I forgot that Shane occassionally posts every now and then. It would be cool if Simon hopped on the boards occasionally...
As for each side of the first helpforibs marriage, well, I doubt we would be posting a whoe lot of private stuff, but other stuff we will...

Nahh, I never felt that way about the infamous porn post, but there have been other posts over the months where I felt that way. But it is cool, no worries. And Ginger, I agree with you 99 percent of the time anyway.

No, I couldn't stay away, hell, I met my future wife here. I owe a lot to these boards. And your post to me as well as what Michele wrote really made me reconsider. Anyway, thanks for what you wrote and I am glad I reconsidered my position too!
