You guys are all great....you've said everything I was gonna say here, so I'm not going to bother.

I love you all.

Even the ones who don't love me because I happen to think that war is a bad thing. :D

Life is constantly changing. And Pixies, being made up of real people from the real world is going to experience change too. People can either adapt to the changes and accept them or not. Many, myself included, choose to take a little time away to adjust. When I return I find its still the same Pixies it always was, just different names and faces.

This is still the nicest place on the net. It'd be wonderful to think everything was always fantastic but thats not realistic. Thank you to all of you who make Pixies what it is: a gathering of liked minded folk where we can perv, laugh, ask advice, show support for people we've never met, disagree, have fun and stay or go if we no longer fit in.

(((((Pixies)))))

Look, anyone that feels this joint is immature and clique-ish, WAKE UP! You obviously have no clue how bad it could be. I've moderated message boards where all people did was snip, gripe, bitch, piss, moan, whine, snipe, get their panties in a twist and work themselves into a snit. It gets old and retarded really fucking quick. people would make blantently rude posts for only one purpose - starting drama. Everyone on this board should thank your lucky stars that pixie's is not an online community that thrives on bullshit. If it's cliqueish, well tough shit. That what the world is - cliques. Find a clique and make a place for yourself - or be a loner. Either are acceptable. I have met very few people on here that will treat you with disrespect. Almost everyone will take your posts into consideration, even if they don't agree with what you have to say. I don't feel like I have any lifelong friends on here, and i certainly don't feel like I"M in the "inner circle." But guess what - I continue to post, sometimes just to get attention, I'll admit it. But usually it's out of genuine concearn for the Pixie's involved or because I need to vent, or i need an objective perspective of thigns. I have no need to be in the inner circle, becasue i'm secure with myself and my opinions. I will continue to post my thoughts, and I will continue to respect everyone else's thoughts, even though i might come across slightly harsh at times.

And SPEAKING of opinions...i hate to add fuel to the fire, but i feel like i might as well bring it up, since the issue is being addressed indirectly in alot of threads lately. Mr. Bush.
Now, I truly feel like I started a bunch of crap with my thread regarding my husband's contract extension with the army, and I'm sorry for that. I knew when i started it that people would have strong opinions about it, but when you're at home alone all day without no one to talk to, sometimes you just need to vent, and this is where I chose to do it. Apparantly some of the opinions that i shared are not shared by everyone on this site and that's ok. But the great thing about living in a country like the one I live in is that I CAN have those opinions, and YOU can have a different one - isn't that neat?
I stand by what I said about our administration in that thread. I will not back down from it without reason, I will not deny having said it. It doesn't make me AntiAmerican, it doesn't make me a terrorist. It makes me informed, and it makes me opnionated. I welcome everyone to debate with informed, respectful opinions - whether they are American, British, Austrailian, Canadian, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, black, white, yellow, or a little green man from Mars.

i guess what i'm saying is that if you are leaving because you can't take the heat, then it's probably best that you get out of the kitchen. I'm sorry that you feel your thoughts are invalid here, but I truly believe that, perhaps, your perception is skewed.

I sincerly think all this drama is just one big miscommunication.

The End - LAW

You know.....I think it's time for a group hug. :D

Here here....... and start it here!

waltaja, I think you summed up your reasoning in your first sentence!

Good luck to you.......... and try to enjoy LIFE!

BTW Bush bashing is not anti American if fact being able to voice our dislike for our leader is on of the things that makes this country so great. there have been and still are a lot of countries where you can be locked up if you say something against the goverment.

Hm...lemme think here........GingerV, TinglingTess and uh.....lonelyarmywife made all the points I would have.


Go back and read their posts again, if ya don't mind. :p

I'm one who comes and goes, in and out, mostly out for the past year or more......but I'm always welcomed and FEEL welcome here. Anyway, too tired to type much but thanks to GingerV, TT and lonelywife, I won't have to. LOL


I wish you well at whatever site you end up. This is a nice home but sometimes the fit just isn't right for some reason. :)

I hear the comments .... I think I'm much like GingerV ... I bring my own issues to my place in this forum .... I've been confronted with cliques most of my life in one form or another ... at 47 yrs of age, I've come to accept that has to do with the way we humans socialize ... if there's more than 3 people involved, then a heirchy seems to form .... you can accept it, you can work to change it from within or you may choose to walk away from it .... For the most part I tend to combine the first and second of those options ... I accept that each of us will pick and choose who we allow into our emotional proximity .... and the closer we allow them to be, the pickier we are likely to be about who they are and how they are. Pixies is a very large group of members .... for the most part only 1-2% are really active at any given time ... but that still means 100-200 people ... which is still a fairly significant number of people to deal with in a social situation. I share certain things in common with almost all of the people of pixies ... I am a member, I am a human, I am a sexual and sensual being..... after that I think we have more individualities ...

Sorry that some feel the need to leave, but that being the case, I wish you well in your life journey and hope you find happiness on the path you choose.

I have been a pixies member since last year but I have been reading pixies for some time before I joined, I am sorry to see anyone leave a community because the don’t agree with another members opinion, after all if we all had the same opinions and beliefs we would just be robots and this would be "tin can place" and not "pixies". And for the record I have always felt welcome here and thank everyone for that.

oh boy! I can't help but say this... as this is the THIRD thread I'm reading on the same topic ... but ever notice how those that make the biggest production about leaving always resurface?
