I don't know you very well, but I have always enjoyed your posts and your spirit. You have to do what is right for you. I really wish you would reconsider, but that would make me selfish. Take care!

I, for one, will absolutely miss you and I truly do hope that you come back in the near future after you solve everything you need to. While I do agree that the flame wars and everything that has been going on for the last few months have truly changed my experiences here at SON, we can change that by controlling ourselves and not letting internet stuff get to us personally. I love you Shawn and wish you the best of luck. Come back now, ya hear?

I understand how you feel Shawn because of all the stuff that has gone on around here. SON has just not been SON lately. I truly do understand and tell you to come back when ready.

Come back soon, Shawn!

I definately know where you're coming from, Shawn. You'll be missed. Hurry back!

I'll miss you!

I'll be posting something like this next week. Do what you have to do, man.

There are NOT enough :os in the world!

WT...?!!!

After much thought, I've decided it's time for me to take a long break from this board.

Those on the board that know me are aware that the last few weeks, I've been very aggrevated by the sudden barrage of nasty antagonists, bitter fights, and vicious poster targeting that has hit SON. This board has always been unlike the others in many ways for the better, but certain people are making it no better than the worst.

That, in combination with the utter chaos that my personal life has turned into, is reason enough for me to say goodbye for now.

When things, both personal on this board, change for the better, I will be back.

But until then, after tonight, it's time to say, "ciao bellas".

I see my bigmouth sister Brandy written all over this. What did she do?

We'll miss you Shawn. Hope things get better for you soon. Take care and hurry back!

I hardly know you or anything, but taking care of you should be your priority. You're definitely entertaining. I hope everything works out for you.

Will miss your posts around here....too bad you are leaving.

Take care of whatever you need to and then hurry back!
