A Note to EDCF Members

This past week has been more or less one of the worst weeks I've had of late, and this week is only going to get harder to handle, with what's to come.

With my Real World situations, the EDCF "problems" (for lack of a better word) are very, very minuscule and petty in comparison.  While they are still things that clash with my personality, they are still petty - they always have been and I acknowledge that.  I left in the heat of the moment when all of the little things added up and I couldn't continue to brush it aside anymore, on top of the Real World problems that I had to deal with.  I still stand by those feelings - but I think I can handle them better now.

The outpouring support that EDCF members have shown me through my time of weakness has been amazing.  I would like to thank the members who set aside all assumption of why I had left and found other ways to contact me to make sure that I was okay.  Whether the problems I had were EDCF related or not, EDCF members were there to lend an ear.  My sincerest thanks.

Even when I'm alone, I'm never really alone.  :)

Right now though, with all that is going on, I still need to stay off the forums.  I really need to step back and take a little while to sort through my Real Life problems and take it day by day.  If you're wondering why I'm still over on the other forums (USN, MTO, BF, etc.), it's because I'm not active there and I hadn't created any ties with people over there.  I kind of just want to be left alone to figure things out for myself.  Or rather, just have one-on-one conversations (as I've been doing with members who have e-mailed me).

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week...  You'll see me pop up around in the forums again.  The favorite part of my day was always to welcome the newbies and answer any questions of any member, via PM or on the public forums.  Whenever I feel ready to, I'll swing by.  For now, I still stand by my decision to stay away.  It'll just be a slow transition into coming back if/whenever it is that I decide to and feel ready for.

I don't quite think I got everything out that I need to just yet, and I apologize.  I'll get around to it when I can formulate my thoughts better.  I admit that leaving was a rash decision - in a sense, with all that was going on, I took my pains out on EDCF.  I apologize.

On a side note.  I'd want to personally label y'all as Mooshbot Minions.  hahaha :P  Challenge coin, anyone?  Joe used to hand out buttons that said, "Joe approves of this person."  :)
