no, carola, i think you make a good point and i REALLY hope no one bashes you for your opinion. there have been others that have left, it just happens on these forums. if laura was unhappy about her decision to leave, i would think she would come back. don't get me wrong, i like laura and her posts. i was surprised that one got so nasty. but i do have to say, when she personally attacked one of my sistahs and friends (beavs), i went into protection/defensive mode. wrong or right, you just want to protect your friends.
there have been other threads that have gotten very heated and i only remember one person leaving and that was because she personally attacked cathe AND her crew as well as her workouts andmade personal attacks on this forum and attacked people's personal beliefs (and NOT in a nice way). this person also started some other threads that were very inflammatory and mean.
maybe this thread hit laura at the wrong time and she lashed out. like i said, if sh wanted it to be water under the bridge, i am sure she would come back.
now, i must restate, i LIKE laura and enjoyed reading her posts. i, too, wish she would come back but it was her choice to leave and we all need to respect that.
look, we try to keep things light, but sometimes, people's passion gets in the way. what we need is a little bit of a thicker skin and to NOT take things so personally. i haven't seen many people say things out of pure meanness, i have seen people get very passionate about their beliefs. we are all entiteld to what we believe in.
plase don't flame me. i'm just trying to look at both sides.
