    Prisca,
    When I first found this board, Waiting, Frenchy, SixofNine, Seven, all welcomed me and made me feel at home. I really enjoyed it. I still do. I agree with Simon that we shouldn't have censors. I also agree with those who say if you don't like it don't read it. I Never read anything Fred Hall posts. When I am reading and they start cursing one another I switch to another post. The titles and the authors are pretty good indicators. I have a great deal of respect for a number of posters here and some have never said anything that would offend anyone as far as profanity goes. I think if you are selective you can dodge offensive posts. If you must go then I wish you well, but I do hate to see you go.

    Take care,

    Hello Prisca,

    Sorry that you are leaving before I got the change to know you.

    Please come back when you are ready.

    Best regards, Stealth

    Dear Pris,

    You already know that I regard you as a friend and you also know that I too have had to live down an awful scenario on this board that was never of my making.

    I too almost left, but I didn't. I saw that that would have made that major person and the other two players winners when in fact they are nothing but losers in sheeps clothing........you know all of this........you allowed me to vent out with you.....

    Please rethink this.......really carefully.......you have read all these posts from people that care about you.
    If you still decide to leave, I will respect your wishes but will miss you around here greatly.
    You are one of the loveliest people I have had the pleasure to meet here and I am so happy to call you my friend.

    Talk Later....
    Love,
    Ana

    Hello Prisca, I welcome those of your quality of character and refusal to sink into the mire of atheism or deep cynicism, to come on over to H2O. You are welcome to try it out, and even feel free to volunteer to moderate it so we can maintain the site at an even higher level:

    http://www.geocities.com/hourglass2.geo/
    http://www.aimoo.com/h2o/

    Please contact [email protected] if you wish to help us out in moderating H2O. With those such as yourself as moderators (and H2O already has an outstanding team but we need many more in all time zones), we can together reach our goals of understanding one another and figuring out that age old question, "what is truth?"

    Mature, scholarly, down to earth and sensible discussions without the crud-mouthed stuff we must endure elsewhere -- that is what H2O is all about. :-)

    As one of the few posters I have followed when visiting this site on occasion, you have been a lamp on a dark trail as the saying goes. No matter what you decide, keep on the path because it is the only way to a special gateway.

    My invitation stands for anyone who is downtrodden like Prisca.

    with Christian love from
    someone who admires and respects your
    fine example over here,
    Derrick

    Hi, Prisca,

    I was a bit surprised to read this:

    I am leaving because I cannot be a part of a forum that condones abuse and deliberate offensiveness towards other posters. I am disappointed in the way Simon has let this place degenerate over the past 6 months. But it's his forum, and I am under no obligation to be a part of it.

    I saw that you recently brought up the matter of abusive posters in the Suggestion Box forum, and Simon answered:

    I do agree, I will try and imrove things if you can bear with me.

    I'm sorry I haven't been around this last week to keep a closer eye on things - I've just been incredibly busy.

    I thought you'd at least wait around for the latest flashes of new light from Simon.

    Speaking of flashes, if you leave, who will show her panties at Larc's Sunday School?

    Derrick,

    : Please contact [email protected] if you wish to help us out in moderating H2O.

    Obviously. You have more moderators than participants.

    : With those such as yourself as moderators (and H2O already has an outstanding team but we need many more in all time zones), we can together reach our goals of understanding one another and figuring out that age old question, "what is truth?"

    Ten, twenty posts per MONTH? Yeah, you need an "outstanding team" to deal with that, alright.

    You first have to figure out the answer to the question, "why is no one but the nice guy named "Joe Black" here on H20?" Figure that out and let we "wee folks" who fled Rick's insanity hear your answer, ok?

    : Mature, scholarly, down to earth and sensible discussions without the crud-mouthed stuff we must endure elsewhere -- that is what H2O is all about. :-)

    "Crud?" That's a Mormon word. I was raised in Mormon country and NO one I've ever known has ever used "crud", except someone influenced by Mormon culture. What say ye, Derrick?

    Yeah (about "scholarly stuff")? So show us some of it. When AlanF and JanH bolted H20 (to name only two) you lost all of that. Furthermore, Rick is now praising his own ass and patting his own ass that that such people are now gone! Your your board is tits-up, Derrick, and you ain't gonna get what you ask for. Rick is why. Period.

    M2 is a pal of mine, btw. I even invited Rick to lunch, since he doesn't live too far north from me. Being the whining coward that he is, he wouldn't even respond to that invitation.

    Face-the-Facts, Derrick. But thank you for playing. H20 is toast as a serious player in dub issues. And there is only ONE person to blame for it. It ain't you, btw. And it ain't M2, either.

    Sorry to see you leave Prisca. You are one of the few women on this forum that has your act together. I started posting on this forum when it first started. Things have changed for the worse. I am sure the WT is proud of what goes on here. This forum and some of the regular posters I am sure give the WT fuel to keep the info spilling over the pages of the WT and AFAKE about how evil and filthy the so called apostates can be.

    "We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest. WT 10/1/52

    Prisca,
    If you leave you do noting more then to show that vulgar language used to hurt and condemn is indeed a useful tool and it has authority to effect you. You succumb to its pseudonymous power and you show that when used as it has, it has effectiveness in it's intended purpose. Do you really want that? Do you think that by leaving this will all go away? Someone called you an asshole, so what. Did a cuss word typed in hypertext thousands of miles away from you effect you so much that you simply give up? Are you the whiner some have accused you of being? I don't think so, prove them wrong, stay and speak your piece like you have never spoken it before. Fight for your thoughts and beliefs, fight for those on this board who love you, fight for yourself. If you don't do it now, you might never learn to. This board is easy, it's noting in the big picture of your life, start here and learn how to use that strength in your convictions that are really important. Going away proves noting. If you like, stay but limit your posts only to the threads you are comfortable with. An old Zen master once said a thousand words are send in silence. He didn't say they were said in absence. You still believe in god, good for you sweetheart, I think it helps make the person you are, but it isn't the core of what makes up all of you. I don't know if I believe there is a god, I hope we can still be friends. I am a very spiritual person, I just don't know if I believe in god, If there is one, I think he will understand.

    Hello Prisca,

    I'm sad to find out that you wish to leave this
    Forum. I personally don't share the same opinion and I think that
    Ozziepost comment is worthy your thoughts:

    "Just take a mature stand and never call people names back, let their own words speak for their character."

    and also Seven006 words, sound reasonable:

    "If you leave you do noting more then to show that vulgar language used to hurt and condemn is indeed a useful tool and it has authority to effect you. You succumb to its pseudonymous power and you show that when used as it has, it has effectiveness in it's intended purpose. "

    So, Prisca, take courage and continue to be with us...many I'm
    sure do like you and you way to tackle subjetcs.

    Warm greetings to you personally,

    J.C.MacHislopp
