Shoot, SP opened my mind to the Mormon religion. There was a lot of stuff that I didn't know or assumed about the religion because of a few things I had heard. I think your religion has gotten too much crap, and it's terribly unfair.
Hah, thanks, SP. I try to be respectful. It's hard, but it can be done. I expect the same respect when in debate with others. RS.net kinda taught me how to do that.

It would be kind of a shame to see you leave, since you haven't been here for very long. If you don't want to stay here, that's fine. But it just seems like you should try giving it some more time.
There isn't really anything else for me to say, since it's all already been said. I pretty much agree with most of what has already been said here.

I care if you leave. I care if anyone on our board leaves. I'm very protectful of our members and I want everyone to feel welcome here.
You are just going through an adjustment stage. Many who have strong opinions go through this here. Once you figure out our rules and get to know everyone a little better, you're going to do just fine. My suggestion is to take it slow and easy and maybe just read some threads and get used to how people act/respond rather than jumping right in.

I, too, care if you leave. I like to think of RS.net as a huge family (as overly-cliché as that sounds : , and every family has its fights. Heck, I fight with my brother all the time However, unlike family, you don't HAVE to stick with us here at RS.net...that's your choice. I just wish you wouldn't leave! The community is made up of fans, and it's sad for any member to leave. Especially since I happen to think we have such a great community here ;D We all have our flaws and sadly we can't be friends with everbody. I'm pretty sure there are a few people on this board who wish my internet would crash or something , but that's just the way it is...I still come here, much to their torment ;D. I mean I didn't appreciate what you said about nabusan, either, but he seems to be forgiving, so I won't hold anything against you either. But other than that, you've been a member of our community and that's what counts! Ultimately it's your choice, but I hope that you'll consider staying.

I also care if you leave! As I don't really pay attention to 'dramas' of the board, I am ignorant to all this conflict. I think, as a person, you are good but clearly aren't comfortable with the board. And I can totally empathize with most of your points. As I'm not a completely religious person, (Actually, one of those atheists, who trying and point out the conflicting ideas of the bible) I don't want to get into that section of the argument.
Though the homosexuality thing I am completely adamant about, personally, and really don't see how a man-woman and woman-woman man-man relationship affects ANYONE except those two people. Seriously, if there were a gay couple a fw houses up, you'd never know, until you were told. Then it seems people make it a problem... I'll just sit and rant to myself. Same with the 'proper attire' thing, seeing as what I wear isn't exactly modest ^^;;;

THANK YOU SARAH.
I have no idea why people such as yourself, Shonna, think that a fictional book like Harry Potter threatens or affects you in any way. It's a fictional book. If you think it's evil, then you have got to be one of the most small-minded people I have ever met. And that is no compliment. And, the proper attire thing? I didn't read that stuff, but I feel as long as they aren't naked or their boobage is hanging out, it's okay. I like tank tops and shorts. I live in Texas. I can't wear long pants and a parka here, during the summer. And, the homosexuality thing... I will not get into because with Harry Potter, and the 65 episode policy, it is one of the things I am most passionate and I will get upset, and I will say things that you probably won't like. But, basically, my feelings echo Sarah.
For more than a year or two, my next door neighbor were two lesbians. One of the women had two daughters, about 15 and 7 or so from a previous relationship (I'm assuming as a result of the stigma people like you put on homosexuality). These two ladies were the nicest people I ever met. It never bothered me once that they were gay. It never bothered my grandmother, who is a deeply religious Roman Catholic. Nobody were bothered by it. To quote Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls, "Frankly, I'd rather live with a lesbian than a cat." And to quote Jack McFarland from Will & Grace, "We're here, we're queer, get used to it."
Anyway, that's all I have to say, because frankly, I can't say anymore without sounding mean.

I don't think it's important or not weather I think you should leave or not. We will always welcome anybody to the board as long as you follow our rules and respect us.
As long as we don't have any more incidents like this then I for one would be happy for you to stay, otherwise it might be best for you to find another message board...

The fact that she was bashing Nabusan at ALL makes her a horrible person in my book, and I'm very upset by her bashing Nabusan. And I'm still very upset and incredibly angry. Trust me, the fact that I'm a nice person restrains me from telling her what I think of her.

Shonna, I haven't had too many dealings with you in the time you've been here, but I care if anybody leaves. It's like Warbandit said, were like a family here. And like family, we may not all get along all the time, but in the end, were just all fans of a great show that we all love. Also, I'd follow Dracko's advice. Believe me, he knows what he's talking about.
To Ashley: High horse much?

Okay, enough with the inflammatory remarks. It's time for everybody to exercise a little self control. If you think you're going to get riled up, then just don't post here. It's a simple concept.
Keep it civil, counts and countesses, civil as an orange.

Just, so I don't seem like I was, I didn't intend to 'bash' Shonna. I mean, jeeze, her supposedly bashing someone doesn't mean we should do the same to her. And - hmm, yeah. Okay. Let's just leave it here, I guess. She has left for her own reasons, which is better than staying and being an agitator.
