Gracie -'do NOT GO - do not let them drive you from the board.
And for anyone to say ANYTHING about your child (don't care what their age) is unacceptable.

Please reconsider.

Cowards post negative comments. They must be very unhappy people.
Unfortunately they think attacking others is okay.
Cowards.

there was never anything wrong with the political forum.

It was driven to closure and a bad reputation because of a very few. The very few required more time to moderate than the administration was willing to contribute.

Amore appropriate reference would be that some of the lessor liked quorums being discussed have people like the ones that caused the downfall of the political forum on TOTV.

Don't you dare let the bas---ds win!! Get that other board to fix THEIR problem. Met you once for liver and onions but read you often! Love your point of view on so many topics.

Good post !!! I agree.....while I was upset and still am that it does not exist, I do understand the admin closing it.

The very reason for the greatness of the political (discuss an learn based on sharing facts and investigation) was totally compromised as it became like the talk shows on cable tv and radio....loudest wins....no matter the facts.

I just hope that this current situation allows folks to remember that among us are people who over the past few years have betrayed others on here and will continue to do so. First time my name was mentioned on Topix, I pretty much knew who said it....but dont ask...with no validation I am not into throwing out accusations about anyone...and took it with a grain of salt because I thought I knew who it was and it was typical. The other uses of my name, I can only guess simply because of the timing of the notes, but others have been called out on there as well. Ironically, The Topix thread had a lot of good things to say about TOTV initially.....and then a few who felt they had an axe to grind began the assault.

What was done to Gracie, is totally different, not only in nature but in scope. Nobody deserves that......I am aware that she has been visited and hope she comes back.....she always trusted everyone and I hope folks understand that she wont be that trusting any longer...I just hope she comes back soon.

TOTV was the first forum site I ever engaged in. After some time, I got this friend request from this user named �Gracie girl�. I accepted as I can always use a new friend even if virtual. She was my very first friend on TOTV� or any forum for that matter.

There is no question she makes TOTV a better site and I hope she finds her way back.

PS1. You never forget your first.
PS2. I remember my wife asking at the time, who is this Gracie girl ?

Glad you put that up. It gets kind of complicated when the person doing the stalking is in another State or maybe even country.

I do understand GracieGirl's being very upset about the breach of trust when someone pretends to be a friend. Bet almost all of us have gone through that kind of a feeling.

Dearest Gracie, when I read your post, it felt like a loved member of my family had been attacked. It pains me that you have been hurt. I am sending you my love and affection and lots of hugs.

Enough is enough. This thread can go on and on. Gracie has a ton of support to stay, so really it is up to her to respond to this . I really think that it is time for Gracie to come forward or not with a decision to re-consider...agreed ?

It's been done. Not by me, but by someone who is rated as being at the "Sage" level on TOTV.

Well done!

Gracie, I've been off TOTV for a bit and I just found this thread for the first time. Having scanned through all of the post I can say that there has been numerous statements said that I would agree with. No need for me to repeat them.

I've seen the Topix thread but have only been out there maybe 3 or 4 times. I was not only appalled by the imaturity of those children making the posts, but was also very surprised to see that even I was mentioned once in them. They said that they "think skyguy79 is one of her friends," like I was one of your (so-called) co-conspirators (to their thinking.) However, I was not upset by that statement simply because... well, it's true! I know you know how Eileen, I and the kitties feel about you and the entire family, so there's no need for me to go verbalizing it for you.

Now there is one mistake you made in your OP, and that's by saying you're "signing off from here." Yes! That's a mistake because it leaves those immature children (mentally or otherwise) laughing their body part (that could use a good swift kick) off.

Gracie, you and I have shared and consoled each other in separate incidents with a few other TOTV posters in the past that have hurt both of us deeply. But this one your going through now, well, as they say... "Boy, if this doesn't bake the cake!"

Having been through a similar situation, the lengthy time it took to figured out who the actual culprit was, (statements were made that led me to believe it could unbelievably be a friend on Facebook (fortunately it wasn't) and how I couldn't even post on TOTV until I did find out) I know it's going to take time for you to dissipate the deep hurt, but I'm sure it will, and will quicker because of so many good friends you see posting in support of you. I really, really hope that will be soon!

Love, Joe & Eileen

p.s. Feel fee to call anytime if you need an ear to talk to. I'll have Eileen run one of mine over to you ASAP! Smile!

[salferg]

Gracie, Even tho I don't know you, I feel like I do. I have thought many times after reading your posts, that I wish I did know you. Please don't deprive all of us of your wonderful input and your kind words!

[robertj1954]

Very sorry to learn about such a hateful and childish act committed against you Gracie. I do not know you other than reading your postings. In my opinion, there is no justification for such a cowardly act. Have peace in the knowledge the majority of those on this forum support and admire you as a good person with a big heart and only a coward would attempt to hurt it.
