How Do I Leave a Group?

[Hunni Bee]

Im sorry. I usually dont reply negatively, even to negative threads. But the one thing I hate is when people intentionally try dig at other people. I guess we all love this forum and it hurt our feelings for someone to insult it or imply we aren't worth their time.

I apologize to the OP if I was rude.

wow...just wow...

This seems unnecessary to me and quite possibly an example of the negative behavior that's been going on in this forum.

I've been on parenting (and still am) sites where people like this post. Its like a game, they post as anon then stir the pot and then never leave. And on the one site (its a local site) we even have a policy about it. It got so bad with people posting about leaving and then wanted a reaction from everyone that it got ugly. So now when you want to leave, you either just leave (duh common sense) or just post a "im leaving" but you post with your handle. and it gets closed right away and their account gets deleted. It makes me mad because its a game and they want to see our responses because if it was true and they really wanted to leave then why didn't they post in their name on the forum, so you know that they are still hanging around, lurking. Sorry I'm not that nieve. and if you really wanted to leave why wouldn't you just stop posting. So I do hope the mods know who this person is and delete thier accounts so this way we won't have someone trying to stir the pot.

Ok, gotcha

This kinda reminds me of what some members on here say about the parents who deliberately try to rile up the kids when they leave by making a big production when the kids are perfectly fine and so the kids start begging for their parents to stay and the parent feels better about themselves that the kid misses them.

I smelled a troll the second I read this. Funny thing is: we keep on feeding them.

If we ignore controversial topics (don't forget the old threads that are brought back up by unregistered!) then maybe perhaps the trolls will find something else better to do.

ETA: I stand corrected. The OP IS indeed a true member. Sorry OP for calling you a troll!

The only advice I have is to please stay in contact with your friends on here either through email, text or messenger

I think most of the ladies here are genuine and loving friends
I think everyone needs to read posts 3 different ways..lets say you are at the store and some lady comes up to you and says:

"Hey nice hat" (snarky)
"Hey nice hat" ( lovingly)
"Hey nice hat" ( laughing)

in person, you can tell by the tone of voice what they mean..
but online... you can't ..so just give people the benefit of doubt
I joke around a lot and my kids friends say I am lovingly sarcastic..
After some time, members will get to know each others personalities and there would not be so much drama on here if people didn't want to pick each other apart

I hope you can stay and give us another chance!
:hug:

I'm snarky so always read my posts as snarky! ::

I actually have never heard that word before until I came here

[Michelle]

snarky = cheeky, playful bantering? dunno

[Kaddidle Care]

Snarky = Cheeky in my book.

I wish that this site was more supportive at times, instead of criticizing each other just offer support instead. We all make mistakes and even though I have been doing this for 22 years I still learn things from others here. This is a very frustrating job and providers can feel isolated at times.

But I agree, if you do not feel this site is worthy of your time then just don't come here. No announcement needed.

It is VERY hard to be supportive at times when it seems there is always someone who is offended by something you say, imply or sometimes don't even say but others think you meant.

Rather than this board being MORE supportive, I think it needs to be LESS sensitive about everything and not always assume everything is personal or a dig at them....kwim ?
