strange, yeah.  It didn't look like he was that miffed at the end of the thread.. mostly just curious.

Perhaps there is some posts I haven't seen yet where he had more of confrontation with someone?

To those who care (thank you)

 
2013 is going to be a very big challenge for me. I am medically disabled after a huge heart attack a few years back. MSG was always a great place for me to communicate with fellow micro stockers and I learnt a lot from some of the friendly and sharing members and sometimes just have a nice or wacky chat.


I have struggling against some depression lately, as my future seems quite bleak and I can not even begin to name all the setbacks I (my family) had the past 3 years (I am normally not the depressed type). I tried to work it away and try to stay upbeat. My self confidence did take an obvious knock after the heart attack, because sometimes just getting through the day can be a challenge. MSG helped my finding �a place� again.

 
I do not easily let people get me down and is quite capable to square off against an little one-on-one scuffle. What lately started to irritate me was this little packs which will pound on anyone they think is out of line. It also just get disheartening if you make a point in a thread and there is no reply or referral to your point, then directly after that one of �the pack� would repeat the exact point (sometimes not even a much different words) and get widely applauded for the insight. This is one of the reasons this whole + and � thing got totally up my nerves. I chose the wrong post to utter my dismay at the situation, as you pointed out, it was not the case in the specific thread.


Am I over sensitive � Yes, most definitely (but not much I can do about it at present). Just had to decide if I needed extra negatives or upsetting situations in my life at present and decided that this one is under my control and I can cut it out before the new year start.


I actually wanted to refrain from looking at the site again, but I prepared myself for the worst (like �good to see his back�, �hope we do not see him again soon�, �what a troll�, etc.) and curiosity killed the cat.  I did read the inquiries about my closure of my membership. I know it is only a handful out of thousands members who had a friendly word, but you guys gave me a lot of hope and encouragement. Thank you for that.

I still need the break now, I think, but if Tyler will allow me back (hopefully) in the close future, I would love to come back.

Hope all of you who endured the old screwy South African, have a great year!!!
