Peace, wisdom and security be yours.

[billyskank]

39. Thanks

Check your PM

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

40. Bad news is losing your child...

I know you're upset, but perspective is important. Think of BikeWriter.

And... :hug:

[billyskank]

45. No, that's a tragedy

This is merely bad news. :hug:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

48. That ...

is a matter of opinion.

42. Awwww man...

that was one of the best locking posts ever.

And if this is what I think it's about...it needed to be locked anyway.

[KitchenWitch]

44. It was a classic, for a locking post that is

[LincolnMcGrath]

46. I'm confused....

lol Like thats something new! THROW ME A FRICKEN BONE HERE!

[VelmaD]

49. pm me...

I'll tell you what they're all so upset about.

[Shell Beau]

52. Huh? Locking post?

:shrug: I know what this thread is about, but I am confused about what you mean.

[billyskank]

54. I think the thread got locked and then unlocked

:crazy:

[Shell Beau]

56. Oh!!! Well, I seem to miss absolutely everything!!

:crazy: but still, :cry:

[VelmaD]

55. The deleted post...

was from one of the mods locking this thread. It was subsequently unlocked.

[jonnyblitz]

64. it was a funny lock i thought.

:P

[LincolnMcGrath]

78. Every time the mods unlock a previously locked thread......

God kills a kitten.

[merh]

43. What?

:shrug:

[billyskank]

47. Check your PM

[redqueen]

50. I'm sorry, billy.

:hug:

[billyskank]

57. Pants eh, but what can you do?

:hug:

[Clintmax]

51. Billy...

I just PM'ed you...what's up? The same thing?

[billyskank]

58. No, a different thing

Your PM has been replied to. Two pieces of bad news in one day. :(

[Wapsie B]

53. Whatever it is

you have my sympathies. :hug:

[elshiva]

59. I am so sorry, billyskank. PM me if you need something.

:hug:

[Rising Phoenix]

61. are you ok, billy?

[anarch]

62. hey, whatever's up, my sympathies...

[LaurenG]

63. What happened?

How bad is the news?

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

65. Seriously.. some persepctive. Someone left DU on their own will and accord

No one is injured, maimed, killed or has been TS'd for something that someone THINKS that they meant.

[merh]

71. Gee - how about some compassion?

Some of us do care, if you don't then get out of the thread. :hi:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

75. I am not saying don't 'care'. This PM me game is exclusionary.

And melodramatic to the highest degree.

[Shell Beau]

77. Well, we can't come out and say it and a lot of people DO care.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

92. And others are happy.

It all evens out.

[billyskank]

66. I have to leave for a while to do some chores

Can people who know please PM those who want to know, and please don't worry about me! I'm fine - this is not a crisis or a tragedy or something, but some bad news from the perspective of DU and the Lounge. It's just that posting it openly will not be appreciated by the mods or the admins.

[VelmaD]

69. Whether it's bad news for DU or the Lounge...

depends entirely on your point of view.

[Shell Beau]

72. That is true, but billy knows how it is bad news for lots of us

in the lounge.

[StopTheMorans]

73. weren't you the one peddling not being nasty in public and being

adult about disliking people earlier? maybe that was just me :shrug:

[merh]

74. Leave the thread.

You don't belong here. :hi:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

76. Ignore me if you don't like my replies.

:hi:

[StopTheMorans]

79. no, you ignore me no tagbacks double-cootie spray

*tsst tsst*

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

81. heh....

buuuurrn

[Shell Beau]

80. I don't understand. Most people in here do care and

want to know. Why even bother posting if you aren't one of those? We can't announce it so a PM is about the only way to go about it.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

86. see velma's post below... I'll quote it...

"Y'all enjoy your little love fest and try not to contemplate the irony of how you would have reacted had I started a thread like this when my best friend on DU got banned."

[Shell Beau]

89. I don't know who she is talking about.

I hate it when anyone gets banned (that isn't a troll) but I don't see the big deal in us discussing it the only way we can.

[LincolnMcGrath]

90. What can't you announce it?

You are not allowed to start threads about banned members. I don't think that applies to members who walk away.

[VelmaD]

84. I'm headed to a staff meeting...

there are more important things in life than this shit. Pretty sad day when I'd rather do my job than be here.

Y'all enjoy your little love fest and try not to contemplate the irony of how you would have reacted had I started a thread like this when my best friend on DU got banned.

[Shell Beau]

87. I'm lost!

:shrug: billy was just letting us know. Why is it an issue? I wouldn't have known otherwise.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

88. Shell, there was a lot that happened that you were NOT involved in.

Which is good, believe me. BELIEVE me...

[Shell Beau]

93. Well that is good!! I am glad.

But now I am lost as I always seem to be around here. :crazy:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

70. No... but playing the "PM me game" is OK? I don't get that.

:shrug:

[underpants]

67. ..um ... BEARS!

I love Matchgame

[MrScorpio]

68. What's up?

Hip me please

[XemaSab]

82. Can someone

clue me in? :shrug:

[Shine]

83. Yeah, what's the deal?

I'm sorry to hear you're bummed, billyskank, whatever it is.

Hugs to you...
:hug: :hug: :hug:

Shine

[ScreamingMeemie]

85. billy, I'm so sorry you're having a tough day. I'm here if you need

a shoulder. :hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

91. oh jeebus...just say it!
