I haven't been here of late, as my life has made specific demands on my time. I am saddened that my return is marked by the same venom that destroyed the other blog. This blog was started, by none other then Saffy, and a few others, well known to everyone here. The Intention was clear straight away, to bring people together, with common ideas, experiences, and with similar backgrounds. It was a noble endeavor from the outset.
It is sad, that others, with less noble intentions, driven by jealousy, among other things, have always gathered in the shadows, lurking, ready to destroy, or hurt, whenever possible. I shouldn't be surprised, as this blog really is a microcosm of society as a whole. There will always be small minded people in our lives, and for me, I simply remove them as a source of contention. I simply leave them curbside with the rest of the rubbish, not easily done in a public blog.
Saffy has always tried to make this blog responsive to other peoples feelings, and invited healthy debate as well, as long as people were respectful of others feelings. Saffy also contemplated the thought of opening the blog back up openly to others, and sadly we understand this isn't possible with those that can only be described as trolls. If those people thought Saffron would hide, they are sorely mistaken, and really don't know her. Their loss.
I am not sure if people know or recognize how much work, and attention this blog makes on Saffy's time. Others have put in hard work too, like Allison, Jenny, Camille, Kimmie, and many others, but not as much time, as Saffy puts in. This work is on top or running a successful business. This blog really is a labor of love for saffy. It is sad other lesser people with too much time on their hands would try to destroy that from petty jealousies.
To those small individuals, I leave you to deal with the serial failures of your lives, and the train wrecks your lives have most likely become. You should note that saffron has true friends, that will stand beside her, and ones she can count on. That will probably be more than the trolls, whose actions are well documented in the history of this blog, can say. As Monica and others have said, If you don't like it here, feel free to move along, as we prefer that you leave anyhow
To our friend and editor in chief, Saffron, welcome back.
We love you

well-spoken, Nicky
Well written article. At this point, I don't really care who is who, I just want a functioning blog. I'm here for the community of others, not for any one specific person. Everyone, stop harping on shit and simply move on. Transcend disaster and bring about something new. LETS DO THIS!!!
Good to see you dear friend. Where would I be without you?
Well said Nicky. Personally I do care who people are and a major reason for me being here is my friendship with Saffron who I care about a great deal. Furthermore a brief period of reflection is what learning is all about, it helps stop getting in this mess again. Just my ten pence worth.
I heartily agree with Linda and I also agree well-spoken Nicky
