Whatever the reason for this post, there is still no need to be rude. This is her thread trying to apologize and at least she didn't call names. NO ONE has to come on here and post if they don't like it. I have received a rude comment or two and brushed it off, but she may not be able to take it the same way. Everyone wants to give their "2 cents" but no one wants to listen.

I know this is a public forum, but I feel like "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all".

The OP is going through what alot of us have gone through in this forum. I almost left once because of one member who said the most insensitive things to me. You know what? That member was so offensive to everyone, they eventually got BANNED and that will happen to whoever is offending you too sooner or later. There is away to disagree with someone without making them feel like sh*t. This has been discussed over and over again and I'm sick and tired of people just saying things like "oh just get over it." How bout' pay attention to how you are communicating to people on the forum! We have a new responsibility in this age of web communication - we need to find a way not to insult each other regardless of whether or not we can hear or see how something is being said. Everyone needs to be accountable, myself included. And own up to something and apologize if you have inadvertedly hurt someone. I believe whoever told you other members felt the same way was very catty and mean. They should have just spoke for themself and let others speak for themselves as well. In the future, if someone offends you in a PM, take it to Vlad and Megs. Stay on the forum and add those people to your ignore list. Its not worth leaving over.

Oh Dear, Cant We All Get Along!

Stuff Like This Makes Me Very Sad & I Do Want Everyone To Stay.

I Enjoy Everyones Posts & Even The Ones I Dont Agree With.

That Is Life ! The Good & The Bad !

I Love Everyones Input On This Situation & Mokoni Has A Point Too.

Adriane - I Agree! There Are Cliques Everywhere In My Opinion.

I Will Keep Everyone In My Prayers.

If it makes you feel any better a PF member once told me to "go to hell" for posting that pets weren't the same thing as human children. She then proceeded to say that she was going to meditate that the spirit of the pet wouldn't be offended by my post or whatever. Riiiiiiiight :rolleyes:

Take a few days off the forum if it helps you calm down and get things back into perspective. I promise there are plenty of sweet and helpful people on here who make up for the few rude, condescending ones.

Good idea! That way you don't have to go and everyone can cool off!

I can see why you would post a goodbye post. I certainly wouldn't like to have made friends on here only to have them suddenly vanish and I don't know where they went. If I was going to leave I would let you all know too. :yucky: I certainly like to think we're all friends here.

I second this.

After reading everyone's posts I want to thank those of you who were kind and supportive. I'm still really ashamed but you've all made me feel better and I appreaciate it more than you know.

Apparently by posting this goodbye and apology to everyone I've offended-- which is all it was-- I've made an even bigger ass out of myself, which was again not my intention. It would seem I just keep screwing up, don't I? You all can ask a moderator to close this thread if it angers you. I'm really, really sorry and very ashamed about all of thise, and I'm going to hang back and just watch over the Coach forum for a while (i'm afraid to answer questions or post threads) and I guess see what happens. Again I'm very sorry about all of this and that it seems like a pathetic cry for attention because to be honest I get enough attention without asking for it (however *****y that may sound) and that wasn't what this was about.

no offense here, but you make this grand statement and get everyone all riled up and say you're leaving, but then you keep posting, which makes your original statement kinda worthless. did you post that just so people would beg you to stay? I don't understand, I think I agree with pyari - this seems like a cry for attention, you just bought your very first Coach like a month ago.

I cannot believe the level of rudeness in some of the posts on here towards the OP and those posts are only driving her point home. What is wrong with you people? You know who you are and you need to chill. It is not hard to figure out who her adversaries are. This is not a friggin' pre-school. Be respectful, I guarantee you the Mods, Vlad and Megs do not condone some of the attitudes in this thread. The OP got a very mean PM from someone - she is offended over that - not because people disagree with her in the Coach forum. Re read the Purse Forum rules ladies.

Sarah - You have never offended me - and anyone who has a beef with any other member - just don't read their posts - enjoy the art of skimming threads. This is no one persons playground. You don't have to leave. You don't have to stop posting. But you do have to get a thicker skin sister. I love your contributions.

I think we have to realize that this is a public forum where people should be able to state their opinions. I think it's easy to get offended on the internet because words can be taken in different ways. If you do feel offended, just don't respond! This is a purse forum, we should be obsessing over bags, not over silly comments!
So Razor, please stay! We love having a Coach SA to help us out!

You have a right to your opinions, but you have NO right to be mean, rude, or disrespectful to another member. Here's TPF's #1 rule for anyone that needs a refresher:

General Posting Rules
  • Be nice, treat fellow forum members with respect. Do not call names. Should you disagree with someone else's opinion, settle the argument maturely. Attacks on other members will not be tolerated.

This is supposed to be a friendly forum to dicuss our obsession with handbags. If these "members" don't like you or what you say then why are they reading your posts? The thread says who started it, right? Also, just let them ignore your comments. This is really stupid. I feel like I'm in high school again. Write whatever the hell you want and don't change your avatar either!!!!! I like your comments!
