I know you don't really know me and so I don't know how much this will mean to you but I'd like to add my own wish for you to stay and continue contributing here. You and I rarely - well at least in the scope of things - pop up in the same threads but even so I've seen how much you contribute here and, more importantly, how much it is valued by so many. It would be a shame for this community to lose such a valued member. By all means, take a break or post less if you feel you must, especially if you need to take care of real life for awhile, but I do hope you will stay.

Needless to say, I also saw the post everyone here on your wall has mentioned today. And it sounds like my recent blog may be part of the reason for your post and, if so, please accept my apologies. I said a lot in it and I think it's good as a reality check both currently and periodically but I certainly don't want anyone to take it so much to heart that they feel they can't post anymore because all the considerations make it too complicated. And as Foss said, it's just an opinion and not part of the actual community guidelines.

For what it's worth, whether or not any of your posts have ever contributed to any negativity, I know you have only ever had the best of intentions and pooh on anyone who ever read them differently. I don't know if I conveyed this well enough in my blog but it was intended at least as much, if not more so, for those who read posts here as for those who write them. I'm not saying we all don't have to watch what we write but if someone ever read one of your posts the wrong way and had a bad reaction to it, that's really on them, not you. And as far as your deletion of a friend in game is concerned, I think it was good of you to take ownership and admit you were the one mentioned earlier in the same thread but you also acquitted yourself well with your explanation and really you shouldn't have had to do so at all because it was your decision to make and no one else's.

Gosh I'm sorry about the length but I hope it helps you know you're valued here. Please don't leave on my account or anyone else's.
