Gracie, I am so sorry that some mean, spiteful person has hurt you. Please take the advice of others here and report that poster to the admin of that other forum. I hope you change your mind and continue to participate on TOTV. I always look forward to your posts and often can't wait to hear what you have to say on a subject because you always seem to have the voice of reason. Don't let the cyberbully win. This forum needs your wisdom.

Life experiences are good teachers and given what we find on TOPIX perhaps TOTV is indeed wise in their monitoring. My suggestion and hope is that perhaps TOPIX take a lesson from TOTV. In my view I like our kind of boring on TOTV its civil, intelligent and useful. finally as the horribles from TOPIX discovered their comments did not divide us they united us.

Very well said. I might add that the current management came in fair and balanced and has shown no tolerance to the harshness of the past, a smart decision that has proven beneficial to everyone on this site. Most of us long time users are thankful to the new rules and have built a bridge and have left the past in the past. Thanks Admin and monitors.

Gracie, what they did on THAT OTHER site is horrible, but please don't punish this site (us) by going away! Please continue to bless us with your presence and family stories. It would just be too much to lose you because of ANOTHER SITE. We love you and want you to stay. Please!

I would love to see a FOR TOTV LOVERS forum that you could only join by showing up at Crispers and signing up in person. It would be a wonderful forum for those of us that wish to see everyone happy. When you put a face and a name with the ID, folks are more civil to one another.

So, I vote for a Gracie Girl Forum.

Gracie quit
That will happen.

Good idea. An exclusive forum for people with faces. When I signed on to TOTV four years ago, i decided to use my real name as to not be a stranger behind the mask. I threw my name out there along with my Pina Colada picture
With nothing to hide. I am what I am. Everyone we can converse with on the Gracie Forum would gave a face. Since it was Golfingnuts idea, why not he set it up

Gracie you make me laugh when I'm having a bad day. You give such great insights on many issues.and give honest opinions on many things.whoever this is on the other side must be very jealous of Gracie girl. Don't leave just take a break

I'm not the only person on this board from Birmingham, but I'll just assume you're directing this at me.
I just saw this thread after receiving your PM and I'll reiterate here. Anyone can put any city on a message board. Anyone can also use different IP addresses.
The message that was pmmed to me said nothing about Helene (not sure who Helene is) so I'll assume that was a different one.
I guess if I wanted to bash someone anonymously on a message board, I wouldn't put my city.

Don't Go!

While surfing for some info I stumbled onto that site quite by accident a few months back. I could not believe how much really mean stuff was being said, not just about Gracie, but others on TOTV as well. I found no real information there or purpose for the site other than to trash talk. That type of talk serves no purpose but to show ones jealous, mean spirit.

There's a couple of different ways to read your post, Cisco. Can you flesh that out a bit?

[Cedwards38]

I hope you'll reconsider and stay with us. I think we need you here.
