We shall see if that is truly what is happening. I've left the CIPEX group as has The Boss. I feel as if I am persona non gratis there and he is hugely offended by the way I've been treated over the years. He decides to step up and defend me once, in his own way-responding to the original poster in kind, and I get backhanded for it by those who have taken issue with a post I wrote venting and in defense of people I called friends. Overall I am disillusioned and feel extremely unwelcome by this group that I called home for about 12+ years.
Yep, I was wrong for posting my post. Rule #1 don't say anything people don't want to hear, they'll flame you and curse you out for it while plugging their ears or putting on blindfolds. Don't be blunt and brutally honest for the same reasons. Don't vent anger or frustrations, same reasons. Don't say anything that anyone could possibly take offense to, candy coat it for them, for the same reasons above. Beyond that don't offend people, they don't like it and will take their friendship and go home if you do.
Yes I'm angry and I'm well aware that it's showing. This is MY place to say whatever I want to say, please don't read if you're offended.
Some people I counted as friends have little support for me and are making it clear that they feel as the others feel, I'm not good for the group. I get the message loud and clear folks. No need to continue to rub my nose in it as if I were an ignorant dog incapable of getting it the first time.
I am so done with that group that I was ready to shut down MY group so I didn't have to deal with them at all. But no, they don't get to have that kind of power over me.
I will run my group until such time as I feel it has run its course. If you don't want to participate that's your loss, I'll miss you and the friendship I thought we had.
