oh no....don't let the crazy people of the world scare you off....it gives them too much power! LOL...Trolls will be trolls and evil lurks in even the smallest of places. Just know...those that give the most trouble on forums like these are often the most unhappy people in real life.....I feel for them...their crazy posts and terrible comments mean
1. They have waaaaay too much time on their hands. Which means no life....or very little of one

2. They have very poor self esteem and feel "big" by making others feel little.

3. They have probably very little to feel grateful for and feel the need to start trouble to fill the void in their lives.

The list can go on....I chuckle at forum drama for mainly seeing right through the crazy people in the world.

I understand your need for a break...but do come back...never let the crazy people will! LOL

If all your posts get deleted...you know what that means, don't you? Yup, MBW becomes the new posting champion. You really gonna let that happen?

Anthony, don't delete her account!

This is like being in a street gang, you can't quit!!

Seriously, delete this post and just go with it.

We all really care about you and everything that you contribute to this board. You certainly "shine" and always go the extra mile for each of us. Sincerely hope you will take a breather and then reconsider coming back. Completely agree with the above posters. A sad Monday. . . .

oh crap!

Sorry to see you go CG, this is a better place with you around.

I used to frequent a very busy Bermuda forum. Tons of daily posts, they had coozies, t-shirts, buttons, secret passwords and gatherings. Then the in-fighting started and now there's barely 1 post a week.

I hope VIOL isn't going away the same way.

Maybe we've all lost sight of what the VIOL is meant to be..It's not a place for political statements (there are other forums for those). It's a place for information and sharing memories of the place in the world that we love most.. We want outsiders to come to the forum and feel unafraid to ask questions about the V.I. That's the reason the forum was established in the first place..not for our own agendas or vendettas. Let's get back to what this is suppose to be for. Sharing information. Leave your personality quirks at the dock (Cruz Bay) and have fun...COME ON FOLKS! We're adults here...Let's not forget that, please....

Please think about this for 24 hours.

I guess some lessons need to be learned, the hard way.

Bev, just don't check your quirks at the dock. It just wouldn't seem right.

I don't read the Off Topic forum. I stay right here where people talk about St. John and their travels. If I were to leave this forum, I would not hear about everyone's trips and kewl things that are happening. Nothing could be said on the Off Topic that could rob me of this simple pleasure. As stated before, do not hand over the power to control your emotions to someone else. Stay and have some fun with us.

JT I'm holdin' firmly to my quirks. Since my boobs started sagging it's all I have left!!
Margo, don't give in to those that would like you to do just what you're threatening to do. Stay and make them miserable!!!

My advise, for what it's worth, is to take a break for awhile if you feel you need to. Give it some time, then make a decision. I would really hate for you and all your posts to disappear forever. Just my .02 as a friend to a friend.
