Corrections to my Leaving post (non rantish!)

[Saitaina]

I am sending this to the  list  for reasons that I've already said something to three people today and I'm saving any more trouble for us by saying it here.  I am NOT leaving for reasons due to the recent mess.  I am leaving (er, sorta, as you can tell I'm still here here just not in the fandom) because I'm tired of EVERYTHING  the teenagers who have nothing better to do then annoy people, the idiots, the trolls, the goats (not Mike!) the feeling of being outside the fandom even while in it and for more personal reasons such as a severe feeling of invisibility in this group and within the fandom itself.  

I WILL be staying on as an elf  and will be staying in the fandom as a writer.  I will more likely then not show up in chat just because I cannot resist bugging you guys.   You won't see me around most boards and the only lists I'm probably going to be a member of is mine and the fiction related ones.  This doesn't mean a great change in my behavior as a barley posted anyway just something official.  Sort of a last stand thing to say that I'm tired of it all.  I felt it needed to be said before I went.  

I think I alienated some people with my last post and would like to take a moment to correct it.   Very little of my ranting was meant to this group.  Yes I feel as though I'm invisible and not replied to or responded to as I would have liked but those are my feelings.  Overall I have NOTHING against this group and and glad to have been, and still be in a way, a part of it.  I will always, ALWAYS care about this group and the people inside it weather we have parted ways before this or not.  I have spent over a year here and am saddened it had come down to this.  I have always said this but you guys helped me in a time that was hard for me by just, being there.  I will love you and cherish you and no matter what storms may come, there will always be those muggy summer days when I could think of nothing else but what was going on in our group.  I was here before OT-Chatter, before (and during) the short-lived food group and enjoyed more Sunday chats then a good girl should admit.  :o)  I might return when book five comes out  (please dear lord let it be soon!  I'm starting to buy HP Band-Aids and make the little Hermione talk to the little harry for cripes sake!) but until then I'm taking a break.  A well needed one.
