I visit quite a few quilt forums. Believe me, I can't wait to get back to this one. No bickering. Just plain good ole friendly folks sharing ideas and experiences, helping us out with problems, giving us a heads-up for new things and specials.

True, I spend much too much time here, but it's the first thing I look for in the morning. Makes my day.

Thank you all.

I haven't come across any bullying or bossy people so far. I have enjoyed the chat room alot, and have got some much needed help there. I guess if you let yourself get into a gossip session more so then a quilt chat it will grow from there. But so far for me this site has been just great, love it. The talent here just blows me away.

there has not been a mass exodus.

again ... although the departure by a few members who were made to feel unwelcome is unfortunate it does not in any way reflect the behavior of our members in general.

we are mostly a kind, funny, and generous bunch who gather in friendship.

let's use this rare event as a reminder to walk a mile in the other person's shoes before we put our own foot in our mouths. ;-)

I think the important thing to remember is that there are 99.99% nice, supportive people on this site. No way would I ever let the .01% run me off. This is one of the best parts of my day.

I have seen quite a few long time names not here anymore but maybe they're taking time off. I like this board and enjoyed chatting with many of you! I ain't going anywhere....unless the good lord see's fit!

Pam, so glad to see you again, if only for a few minutes.

OK my two cents worth. I love to go to chat and meet wonderful friends on Qb. If there has been problems I have never noticed. I hope not everyone is not going to join in because of rumors that PDA's and Chat have problems. I don't see them, I am on a lot too. There is always going to be a person who is not happy in life somewhere. If someone did say something negative on Chat, I notice we go on with what we are chatting about and do not encourage the Rants. But only happened once, and silly ...it was about colors. Hope to see more on chats and PDA's. I have one and have met good freinds thru it and now look forward to all who read and comment. LOVE it......I LOVE CHAT AND PDA!!!!!!!!
