h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

* ... hoping so many long-time friends won't let one synchronous batch of ultra-sensistivities kill so many ties, friendships, ... *

Cal, Jack, I hope that at least one of you is reading this. Now I don't know why you've removed your accounts, but we're your friends, and we're worried about you. If you don't want to tell us why, that's fine, that's your choice. But I know that we'd all appreciate it if you would.

Yeah. Nick is supposed to be on vacation, right now *waves*

But he cares about the two of you.

Many, many people do.

yeah. I nearly had a serious panic attack when I saw what had happened.

Worried about you, guys.

Dan, you know that I care about more than just 2 in this piccy, ... And hate to see friends so unsettled, unhappy. Plain miserable. I'm gone now, for that little 15 hour drive. And a week of in-laws. HELL, you ought to worry for ME !!!

Yer all adults, I can only hope that is enough to get by a bad blend of moods and modes ...

TTFN

Why is everyone so sad and so sorry now?

Because two people who really need the site for escapism have now been driven from it?

Because you've realised that my brother has other important conections here other than Jack and his friends?

Because it makes you feel better that you can say 'oh well I did say sorry in a round about 'still not my fault' kinda of way and it's not my fault they left the site and didn't see it'?

Because I like them both, and sorry they are not around anymore. Is that so bad?

No it isn't

But it's shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted sweetheart

What? You really thought we were so bad that we'd throw a party once we "drove" them away?

We're not evil, Dax. We never meant for them to feel uncomfortable here.

Please leave us alone.

NC you have done nothing but twist everything Jack has said, as a way to get at and hurt Cal, so now they have both left, because of your behaiour!

And I will extend the same respect to you as you did to them. By pestering you to death as you did them

No, Dax, wait... why are you assuming he wanted to hurt Cal?

He was wrong, maybe, but he was just trying to solve things, in his own way.
Like he said, nobody wanted Cal and Jack to be uncomfortable here.

yes uncomfortable


Noone wanted to be uncomfortable in the tea room

Which caused NC to go wading in there

But he was quite happy to make others uncomfortable to the point where now they have had to leave

I can assure you he wasn't happy. As I said, he was trying to solve things. None of us enjoyed seeing Cal and Jack upset.

*sigh*

Lady P

surprisenly enough I don't have much of a problem with you, I do believe you have an unbelieve and unfortunate knack of putting your foot in it but I don't think anything you have said has been said in malice, insensitive at times and thoughtless yes but not malice.

Your friend however is a whole other ball game completely. I do believe this is down to pig headedness, and a desire to win no matter what the cost,

Where there you go NC you won, they've gone, happy now?

Stop it

Dax,

I understand where you're coming from, but just like you know how Cal and Jack feel about things better than I do, I can assure you that I know how Dan feels.
He wasn't trying to win. He was trying to help me. And he's as sorry that they had left as me or Beck or Ben are.


You don't know him. I do. He's a good person.

Could you stop please too

*delurks for a moment*

I think it's best not to try and get the last word here people. Even Cal has asked that now. So I'm going to be nice and not go on a rant here.

What is the age-old question? Would you rather be happy or right? Sometimes being happy means just saying "I'm so sorry" instead of "I'm so sorry you felt I was wrong even though I didn't think I was" to try to prove your point of view.

And as a rule if you find it necessary to start a post with a disclaimer like "Not to stir things up again but..." you should go get a or a instead. Those posts never work out.
