How do I get out of here?

I am no longer interested in this "fitness" board. I love Cathe and have gotten some great advice here. But, I have heard/read some things that are just out of line.

I guess I am a sucker. I need to spend less time here because it is not HEALTHY!!!

Anyway, how do I get my name completely out of this website?

Best of luck to all of you. A lot of you have been an inspiration to me. Thank you!!

Sara - you may have to talk to SNM about deleting all your posts. Otherwise, I guess you just leave and don't come back?

Sorry to hear you're going. I think that this is a great place, but you can't help but have some friction with such a wide variety of personalities. It's life:)
 
Shelley,

Thanks for the kind (and true) words. I have dealt with mean people my whole life. I am over it, you know?

Hi Sara. I'm still relatively new here so I have chosen to stay out of the hysteria completely. I agree with Shelley, though, that these things are bound to happen when so many people frequent a site. I lurked for a long time & finally posted for fitness advice, but I was also pleasantly surprised by the friendships & geniune compassion I found here. So as a newbie, I just wanted to say that I am sorry to see anyone leave, although I can also say that I truly understand where you're coming from. Maybe you just need a break & will reconsider after some time away? Perhaps that other situation will work itself out & everything will turn out okay in the end. You may feel better if that happens. So that might be a good reason to check back too, even if you don't come back for good. Just a thought. Again, I'm truly sorry you're having such bad feelings & I hope you feel better soon!

Best of luck!

Email Chris. He'll remove it. He did the same for me about a year ago. I totally understand but will miss you online.

Sara, we have a group of over 10,000 here and you've been posting about a year and a half. Some conflict is pretty much inevitable considering the numbers and passage of time. Too bad you can't just take the good from here and leave the bad especially since you have been inspired. Perhaps joining a check in would change your perspective a little. You've obviously been frustrated and angered by events of the past few days. Let yourself cool down some before you bid us adieu. There is vastly more positivity than negativity here.

Take Care

Hello Sara,

You could, alternatively, just stick to posting messages on the Videos and DVD and Cathe forums rather than leave completely. This forum may not be to your liking, but you may find that you have fitness related questions that need answers in the future. It would be a pity to delete yourself all together.

I disappeared completely for a couple of years when the forums got much bigger and messages became 'loud' and aggressive. I've only tentatively posted a few messages of late and only to those that I feel I could contribute something. I didn't think about deleting myself, just went off line. I am not 100% sure that I want to post, but I'll see how it goes.

Having said that, you could find answers to your questions if you do a search on the forums, so it probably is not necessary to keep your identity.

What tells you you have to post. I've been coming on here for about a year now and I rarely post. Mostly I just read everyone elses. I dont feel the need to put my two cents into everything. But I think Its real neat to have women from all around the world, different ages, nationalities, give their opionions and advice.

Although there may be thousands (or whatever) of members of the boards, there is a group of maybe 5 or 10 who are very active posters, and can be vicious, suspicious, sarcastic and cruel. A very few folks can really set the tone for an entire board.

I am sorry that you feel the way you do. I have been here a relatively short time, but even after that last few days, don't see what the fuss is all about. I don't see the "vicious, suspicious, sarcastic and cruel" poster that you all do, I guess. I have been active on several other boards, and have left them completely because of their viciousness. If you think they are cruel here? They would eat you alive where you stand on that other board!!

Like everyone else says, with as many people here as there are, you are bound to get some friction once in a while. Me, I am sticking around because I haven't seen what you have seen, I guess.

Little confused why your above post is necessary at all. When I am not interested in the board I just don't come here and the board just goes right along without me. Seems a little dramatic to me. Good luck to you away from Cathe-land.

I read stuff on the forum once or twice per week and usually only post when I see something I can help someone with or if I have a weird question I know someone out there may have an answer to. I feel clueless as to what all this is about; something must have happened that I missed. I'd ask what it was about, but I wouldn't want to stir up bad feelings.
 
I also don't understand your post and agree it does seem a little dramtic. I love the Cathe boards. Everyone here is great. I have also been on other boards from time to time and people can be cruel.

I don't know who the posters are that people refer to as vicious, or sarcastic or mean. I check every forum. I don't read every post so maybe I'm missing something. I also feel clueless.

What I do when I come here is I read what seems of interest to me and post where I think I have something relative to say. I try to be polite as possible but with so many people you can't please everyone.

I wish you luck where you may end up. Sorry you have had a bad experience.
