No need to make nasty replies & then delete posts .
I like to say on my part as MsC did . And why she had to say this ?? I did not make nasty replies and then delete them. The nasty replies were made toward me as I wanted only to trade and share free african violets for postage with current paid memebers of our Av forum.
I was deleting them as I was hurt by Msc and what she said so wanted to remind her of what she said to me in her post in the past. It was not the first.
I also deleted them as I felt if I was going to be treated like this I do not want to trade if I had to feel ashamed if I did not want to trade with everone.
I have many reason why I do not. I did not say my rules were anyone else nor needed to be. My rules would be for the plants I grew.
So I delted them and they were all nice postings nothing nasty on them at all just my ideas for the trade sticky which were nastly toen apart by Msc.
I did not want to post this or post on her thread about me but I had to make known the truth.
Kind thoughts and hugs to you all , Allison

Oh Allison...i don't really realize what's going on..but i do know that we truly all need each other....for my own self...I live on a very small. social security..and having my savings spent on my parents health care some years ago...i cannot always scrape and do what i would like to do...but when i can..i try to share and give back. When i can't..i don't feel guilty....I know most of us feel the same way...I also know that often times..the printed word may not give our true meanings as the words are unspoken....I send my hugs and love to you all....in my eyes we are all special...Bob
Again - I agree wholeheartedly with Bob. It is very easy to misinterpret the written word. This forum is wonderful!! That includes every single person that is in it!
I don't want to stick my head into this too much, but I will just make one comment. Of course we are free to edit and delete our posts. But, if posts are deleted, the rest of us can only guess what the discussion was. And because we are clueless and somehow the event balloons so that it looks like a big deal (well, maybe it was, but I hope it was just a disagreement), we then get after-the-fact clarifications and re-tellings which just aren't as good.
I just hope things calm down, and MsC sticks around. This forum wouldn't be here at all if not for her.
Well I deleted them as I was so hurt as every idea I had MsC put them down . She also made me feel like dirt for me to have rules on my trades / or give away of free plants. She said I should ship to everyone and she did not want rules. I deleted them as I no longer wanted anything to do with the sticky or trading or shipping FREE plants to anyone.
Then when Laurie posted I posted how I felt .
But no Need I have fount un comfortable before from people's postings toward me. I will back out of the forum Keyring.
I did not nor have ever posted anything nasty.
Allison
Please don't back out of the forum Allison - you are a key person here as well! Perhaps a deep breath -
NO, I want you to stay, Allison!!!! We all do. You light up the place. : ) Everyone knows you are a generous and caring person. Please stay. You are an angel.
I doubt that anyone wants you to leave. I would think that If we can all stay and move on, that would be best for everyone and for the forum.
Ironic that we're having this discussion - I almost quit the forum last month but then I got a dmail about arranging a surprise for you. The people here are great and that's why I'm still here.
Please...no one needs to leave. The thought of any hurt feelings in the AV forum makes my heart ache. This is one place I can go that brings me peace and oftentimes puts a smile on my face. I eagerly come to this forum each day to hang out with some of the nicest, warmest, and most giving people I have ever met.
We all need to be there for each other.

we will all be the less if any one of us leaves....we have become a real family in many ways....and i know we can all get through this and move on...
I must have missed all of this. I don't know what's going on, but I love this forum and everyone here is such a valuable asset to it!
Please don't leave, Allison. We all love you and your posts and would miss you terribly. I respect the fact that you have your rules for whom you decide to send plants to. I don't think any of us have an endless supply of time or money, or health, for that matter. We all do what we can do, and that has to be enough. My family deserves a certain amount of time (the largest amount, by far) and I can't justify using bill-paying money to send plants to someone or to buy plants for myself, so I only use my free time and my extra money towards plants. We all have our limits, and each person's limits are different from everyone else's. It's something we all have to respect about each other.
I sincerely hope everyone chooses to stay an active part of this forum.
I would like to say sorry Apologizes that any argument was ever taken place on this Forum as it never should have.
I also like to say I have never posted anything nasty toward Msc or anyone.
I am sorry any dirty laundry was posted on this African violet Forum.
It's for talk of African violets and gessies :) Kindly Allison
I think I missed all of this also.
Allison, you are well loved here!
oh please don;t leave Allison.Were all one big family:)
