Another message for Angel Girl

First of all, I want to say how much I think you contribute to the Babble boards, and that if you decide to leave permanently, I will truly miss your presence.

I have been adding my 2 cents here for a few dollars' worth now. I have have angst filled days and weeks due to Babble-induced fury and hurt. I too have had to rely on too much xanax at times because of how I allowed Babble to affect me. Anyone here who knows me by now realizes that not only am I non-confrontational, I run away from it. The few times I have become embroiled in exchanges here that led me to be angry, outraged, and determined to leave for what I believed to be my best interests, have not kept me away for very long.
You'll see that I'm still here. The support, friendship and most importantly, the *kinship* I feel with the people here far outweigh the difficult and painful times I've experienced. The group dynamic of Babble is something unusual for me. I'm a solitary, almost anti-social, lonely person IRL, yet I can speak in front of a room full of people with apparent ease. I guess Babble is my equivalent of a room full of people. I feel at ease "speaking" here.

I have railed against the policies and practices put in place here when I felt they were unfair or incorrect. There are some - very few - posters here with whom I've chosen not to communicate with, because of how I react when a thread has gone awry. It's my choice: which boards I read and post on, and even which posters I decide to engage in discussions with. I've had to consciously make those decisions in how I use this place for my own good.

You can see from the responses this thread has provoked just how important people view your participation here. None of us want to see you go; none of us want you to experience the anxiety and upset that you have. I thought that for my own good, I would have to leave Babble altogether. In the end, I decided to come back because for me the benefits still outweigh the risks.

I hope that you are able to reach the same conclusion, Angel Girl, because I would dearly miss you from here.
There are other forums similar to Babble out there on the 'net. I explore, try them out, and keep coming back to where I feel most comfortable.
