Refugee thread!

[Shell B]

After lurking in the closing threads over at TTA, I have to apologize if people have been scared off coming here with their friends by warnings from Thump and Evie. Obviously, their statements about conflicts they've had with me are one-sided. I'm not going to rehash those arguments or even defend myself from their criticisms. However, I will say that anyone who wants to come here and give it a try will not be met with the sort of problems they've described. They can come try the place out for themselves. If not, I hope they find another place to talk with like-minded people and debate with theists. We may not be cautious of people's feelings around here, but we too are a community of friends and loved ones. We know what it's like to love a forum, as strange as that may seem.

You don't have anything to apologize for. If former members here decided to rage quit because they got butt hurt and couldn't handle it, then that's on them. One of those individuals hurt a lot of people, myself included. I didn't see that as a reason to quit the forum all together. Sometimes breaks are needed from a lot of different things and mature people know when to take those breaks but it shows a lot of childishness when two people go out of their way to try and sway others from coming here simply because their feelings got hurt. They both can go fuck off. 

Shell - you are a valuable member here. I appreciate your views. I have gotten to know you and Tibs personally. You stand your ground on issues you're passionate about and you take flack as well as give it. You have a spine and know how to use it. For that, I admire you so very much. I can't wait to see the new house if you'll have me back

Never forget that you don't need to apologize for the misunderstandings of others. Stay true to you and let them work through their bullshit.

I play my own role in getting people's panties twisted. I'm only sad that some people might miss out on being with their friends because of a few spats.
