Hi John D.
I did read your "Sickness" piece but everyone else had already said all there was to be said so I didn't leave a comment. But I did think to myself how often we all misjudge other people until we know the FACTS, which is what happened to you with that poor horrid man...
Re. your "intervention" in the Past and Present conversation with Ron, Iwas glad of your support and you were not butting in in any way. Just wanted you to know that.
GW is an OPEN Forum, that is one of the wonderful things about it - that we can ALL exchange our views freely.
Felt I had to drop you this "line".
Don't quite know how I shall be able to keep going without GW, just as I was really learning by reviewing and writing, they decide to pull
the plug.
They announce it before Christmas and they give us the chop for Easter 2005 - talk about timing!
lol

Thank you Clarissa.
Yes, I did get a lot of comments on the recent article. I suppose it was because we all have had unfounded suspicions about other peoples' motives.
That was the reason for posting it.
As for my intervention I had the feeling that Ron was going down a different path and as I had started the thread I wanted to bring it back to what I thought was the point you had made originally.
The trouble with an open forum is that sometimes we need to be aware of sensitivity in our remarks. Something that makes some one laugh may cause another to cry, and that is not our intention. Even my stories have to be carefully filtered so as not to offend anyone's sensitivities.
I have not only enjoyed hearing what you have to say but have also learned to cut my stories at the climax and not labour them which is my usual temptation.
I have already signed on to Anney's site but it's not really all that I am looking for. Good for the live chat and even this depends on who and when. There are many sites on here and I am evaluating quite a few with high quality articles and reviews. I also have to check out the BBC H2G2.
Anyway I have enjoyed GW immensely and I hope that we will all manage to find a home again, mean time I also want to wish you The Season's Greetings and hope that we will be in touch next year as well.
Key: Complain about this post
