He is just easier to tolerate from afar. Now we can all enjoy that advantage.
IMO (o=observation in this instance lol), people who are banned once, usually don't learn...and he was banned like a while ago when I came back to posting here, I remember. And then he came back and sort of morphed into someone totally different. He seemed to fit in. Not judging lol but while some people deserve second chances, when it comes to bans, most who have been banned ...ruin even their second chance.

Not everyone who says they're your friend, IS your friend. I've learned that. It takes time for true friendships to evolve, it's not something that can happen quick. You can like someone or enjoy their company quickly, but that doesn't make a friendship. Just sayin, my words of wisdom du jour.

Tired of some of my friends drifting away too. I just thought that internet friendships could be meaningful too. They always were to me. I feel so depressed.
Love you, squirrel. Thank you for not giving up on me. I'm sorry that I'm not always around. I promise that when I get through this, I'll make it up to you.
I would never give up on you. I don't give up on people. Especially friends as awesome as you.
I was just worried about you and worried I'd said something wrong. I'm a silly squirrel/turtle.
I Skyped you

Evie, internet friendships can be meaningful. One incident where a mod made an off-hand comment does not make you not valuable to the community. I wonder almost if you have really specific expectations for your friends and are let down if they don't fit that mold. Some people make sarcastic comments, even if they like you. Some people let communication lapse, not because they don't like you, but because they have busy lives or aren't as communicative as you are. Ultimately, it's up to you to take people as they are. Anyway, I don't want to get too into it because I don't think it's healthy for you to dwell on it or for me to try to reassure you.
Thank you so much Shell.
It's definitely not healthy for me to dwell on it. I think it's very good for me when people reassure me though because it makes me feel valued and cared for when I'm in a depression. I'm easily cheered up
Just sorry I'm such hard work

Pretty sure he wouldn't be too hard to recognize.

Unrelated... where has losty been?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
