Actually, Killimunati, we NEED more like you around, and perhaps you want to leave for awhile because bullies get you fired up and your gentle soul doesn't need that for awhile?
Then, I understand. But please don't leave because you feel unwelcome. I just think that when bullies are allowed to keep bullying, it brings out the worst...
...in all of us! (I include myself in that mess - I think I'm only feeling less intense cuz I'm finally feeling better)....fwiw
