OPEN LETTER!

I did not like the way you left here, I still don't.

You never asked me to leave with you, but I wish you had, even if I would not have left, just you asking would have been enough.

You wrote that you were going to give your new blog site to those you cared for, I was not one of them . That hurt.

Besides losing my muse, I lost a comrade and someone I thought I could be friends with, in time.

I will never join in with trashing you, you are not here to defend yourself.

I saw past that wild and tough exterior and saw the lady inside, filled with kindness, for those you cared about.

You never let me wallow in self-pity you always had the awareness to know what to say to me.

I miss you, and unlike some will NEVER forget you.

I printed out your picture, Thank you for that. You trusted me enough to send a less than flattering picture, knowing I would never show it around online.

Be well and may you always have all you NEED and most of what you WANT.

Peace, Elie

a.k.a. the most moderate of men.

Would be nice if she sees it inbloom, but I wrote this for me to try and understand why things happen.

Steven? the truth is you have no real idea what kind of person I am.

I will say that my friends got a great laugh at you calling me a person with no compassion.

There lies the rub; too many compassionate "friends" that gather round a site that is supposed to be Debate on politics. I said you lacked compassion politically in the politics menu. On this "chat" side I extend a compliment for your devoted friendship to a blogger who's left and you take it as a slur. Can't win.

Elie, a really nice letter.

You don't need to prove to those who don't understand who you are or what you stand for. You are who you are and those who know this, love you for being you. No explanations necessary.

I hope she will read it too. Unfortunately sometimes we lose people in our lives and it's hard to understand why they left the way they did and perhaps you put more into it than they did, generally speaking, but no matter. (I have such a friend situation loss of a dear friend who just doesn't stay in touch anymore). Hugs Elie!

simple really. her husband challenged brad, brad said back off, he did not , brad exiled him, whip left on her own accord.

No prob. I took awhile myself, and I knew you'd come around when you were ready, just as I do (personally, pleas for me to "unblacklist someone" just piss me off and make me more resolved to keep 'em on blacklist, and I know I'm not the only one who reacts like that, so I figured I'd wait it out like a big boy...lol)

I really forgot I blacklisted you in A HISY FIT, THEN WHILE i WAS PERUSING MY BLOG i NOTICED YOUR name there, I was taken by surprise as I forgot all about it.

I have a memory like a sieve, everything just falls through sometimes.
