felt compelled to comment on his message. Since I initially posted, I've had some time to think about what has been said today.

I agree with you, Thanks for posting your feelings. *4U

Very well said!

Thank you Leslie - I personally do not like conflict of any kind, and try to back away from it. Hopefully this is all behind us, and welcome to CUTE.

thanks for that Lisa

You are very welcome, Eric. I hope that by "telling it like it is" opened doors for the members of this site to take a good long look in their hearts and to make the necessary changes needed to bring this forum back to the loving, caring, sharing group that it can be.

YEA!!!! for you. Couldn't have been said better.

I couldn't have said it better myself. As stated by so many members below, you have said what the majority of us think and feel. And that a few have singled out a beloved member to the point of making him feel unwelcome is beyond reproach. I can only hope that Eric reads all the positive support and decides to join us again. Thank you so much for posting your thoughts on this issue. Mickey

Well said Leslie. Also to all the others who have show their support for Eric. *4 u

Well said, Leslie, thank you! Marji

Food for thought, well put

Well put Leslie, I totally agree

Thank you so much for write down what a lot of us all are feeling. There is just one word that counts and that is RESPECT. I feel so sorry for Eric and hope that he will return. I miss his since of humor. What happened says more about the ones that have done that then about Eric.

I have been thinking of this situation over night. I've come up with the same conclusions. There will always be mean and hurtful people in the world. It is our responsibility to police ourselves, not fall into the trapp they have set , and just not put up with it. We certainally do not want to loose positive members like Eric. I feel if all we show is positive energy the negatives will not want to be here. So let us band together and show our strenght. Thanks for putting it in words we all wanted to post, Leslie.

You ar sò verry right,Well sead!!!

Leslie, thank u for your comments, We R, have been & will continue to b a loving caring fmly, as long as we conpletely ignore the animus remarks being made by odious, hurtful people who evidently have no life of their own but to try & cause dissention. We who have been here a while or above those things & shall continue to b the God fearing, caring, loving fmly we have been n the past. Lillian

Thank you for the perspective of an observer. I personally am brokenhearted over the actions of a few. I will choose to ignore them and what they say. "Resentment is like taking poison and hoping<br />the other person dies."<br />-- St. Augustine

You, certainly, are completely right. This forum is not like others and we have to keep it like it is, a lovely place where we can come to ask about embroidery but also looking for advices about the daily routine in our life. Is a shame what happens here and I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that stops here. Eric is a good man and doesn't deserve what happens to him. Thank you for your words. And welcome to Cute, is not the best moment but everybody is always welcome to become a family member. Flower and XoXo

Thank you Leslie I am quite sure your thoughts and feelings are what most of us have been thinking and feeling...you are right things have certainly changed over the past few months..let's hope that we can get "Cute" back on track NOW before it is too late...I am a fairly new member, but look forward to signing in each day, it would be like losing a good friend, many new friends really..please let us all work to get Cute back to the way it was...Hugs G xxx & *2 each of U

THANX for putting into words what my mind was saying:)

Well said, I am also not a paying contributer, but will be as soon I can (as soon as exchange rate gets better than R10.00 to the dollar) But I love talking and joining in discusions, because I feel so welcome here. Thank you for your good advice. I hope all will read this.

Well said.

So true.

I've been "laying low" for a while, and you just expressed my feelings much more eloquently than I could have done myself. Thank you!

I do wish that we all could get along. & I hope that we will find our dear friend ERIC back joking around with all of us again.

Thank you Leslie. You can usually tell when something is good as that's when other people try to attack it and bring it down.

Wise words!!!***

I agree with your words. Hope we all take a little time to think about this and get our community back to the loving enjoyable place it has always been. *2U
