This has been a small bump in the road and our friendship will get us over it!

Our hopes and dreams of moving to TV, all started with the friendships we made here, lasting friendships that will endure any little problems that arise..

There is no perfect world, but our TOTV world was pretty close to it..We cannot undo what is done, buy we can certainly try to forget to hurt feelings and move on..

Jesus forgave and so can we..

Thank you Donna, beautifully put. I agree so much and thank you for posting such a beautiful sentiment. You know how upset I was about this whole situation of name calling and maybe I'm just living in a dream world, but I really want neighbors to love neighbors. TV has been my perfect world and I know we will get past this.

Steve and Sidney, thanks for closing this so nicely, yes, we will move on. Love, Kathie

As someone who has been called names and put down many times by one poster....I think this was just another example of his behavior. > I can think of 7 people he has attacked with written abuse. >
I realize he has his supporters and I try to like him. ;D I have just let his attacks go but because of the written abuse I am always nervous about attacks from him. I am just glad that an Adminstrator finally stepped in... :bigthumbsup:

Sidney is right.

Let's not pick a scab.

Let it go.

Drop it.

Try not to think about it.

Last words are never LAST words guys, unless you zip your lips, or typing fingers.

OMIGOSH. I think I have said this before, (about a million times) to my kids.

graciegirl,
I was attacked and called names over 20 times 12 threads over a 6 month period.!!!! > It started with my first post
I tried to make peace. I like all people.
I pmed him. I tried to make jokes with him.
Only one poster ever did this to me!!You often backed him up. He always had his followers with you being one. Unless you recieved this abuse for 6 months I don't think you know how it feels. I had never been called names in my life!!!
I thought my last post would be the end. You didn't let it go....and thus this post.!!!!

I too was a target of this person that Mchelney is talking about. Its what I call cyber-bullying and its not fun to be on the receiving end. Kudos to the Administrator for stepping in!...Now let's move on to happy stuff. I'm up north planting my garden today. No buffalo, but lot's of deer, rabbits, and wild turkeys to look at. And they love eating out of our vegetable garden LOL.

LilDancer and Mcelheny: I think you have a perfect right to express your opinions and feelings, whether I agree with them or not. It's called freedom of speech, and is one of the great things about this website.

Graciegirl, my friend and future neighbor. I'm sorry, I'm confused. Weren't you the one that had the weird thread that everyone got down on. And I sent you a private message to tell you to hang in there because I knew you felt so bad? Well multiply that by 6 mos. of constant criticism and maybe you can see how it affected McCelheny, Lil Dancer, and at times me. I don't mean just opposing views, I mean undiluted nastiness. We all have a right to our opinions. I agree enough is enough. ;D

[chelsea24]

I love you graciegirl! Thanks for the post. ;D

graciegirl,
I hope we meet sometime. As I said -I like all people and I have a blessed life.

A big "Thank you" to all the people who pmed me on this. Life is wonderful for me now. I know I have some wonderful friends in the Villages. :bigthumbsup:

Hey, we may not always agree on the little things, but we can still toast each other for having the cumulative "good sense and wisdom" to be TVers! Cheers!
