Something to say….

I have sometihng to say and this does not include the people I was just thanking.
Last night I got one of the biggest dissappointments from here is my life.When I joined here in 08’it made me so happy to have found it and other people that actually had things in common with,namely Melody and Windstones.I was welcomed warmly and and it was so nice to come sit and visit,make friends,enjoy the Windstones,laugh,talk,share opinions,the whole bit.In the last couple of years though things have changed.I have watched friends drift away,new members come and go in a heartbeat and other new members do not want to say a word for fear of retribution.This is so heartbreaking.
Last night I got onto the live feed to watch Chessie work on the new babies and join in with friends.Or so I thought.I spoke up a few times about this baby or that baby and never had anyone,not one person say hi and even acknowledge the fact that I was there.Talk about feeling like a ghost in the machine.I read the conversations going on but I didn’t butt in,it isn’t my way to be rude.I waited until almost the end to ask if anyone knew when the babies might be hitting the store,twice,both times noone answered me.No response to me whatsoever.At first it did hurt me so I hope you feel good about that,but then,it hit me.Why on Earth would I want to be friends with folks that treat people like that?I would never be so cold to anyone.If you don’t like me,your choice but we all have a love for Windstones and it was just a simple inquiry to them is all.
Twice now,I have been accused wrongly of theft by people here that jumped to conclusions and didn’t have the whole story.The big man settled one point by saying it is not copying if it isn’t exact.The second time was by a member that I believe still owes me money.I offered to paint a COUPLE of pyos for her because that is just who I am and I do things for free for people.Do you? Well,she sent 15 pyos and was exspecting me to paint them all for free.Come on now.I had asked here what was the going rate for painting and the average cocts is about $10hr.I painted 9 of them and sent all of them back to her at my cost of $75.00.She had sent me a Zebracorn to repaint over for her at this same time too and I refused.It is beautiful,Amber and I both loved and it she didn’t so I asked her for it and she said okay.I did not steal it,I believe she owed me something for taking advantage of my kindness and all the time and work on the ones I did paint,so then I am accused of stealing it from her.My math says she still wes me $850.for painting and my shipping costs back so I ask you,who ripped who off?But yet I am accused and slammed and you didn’t even have all of the facts.How would you feel being done that way?Instead,I let it go.
I have always been nice,giving and helpful to any that asked and to some that didn’t have to and this is how I get treated.How pathetic is that?
Amber and I both have given up pieces to members to make them happy and increase the value of the collections even when we really didn’t want to and not once have these people said thank you to us.It won’t happen again.Syn is the only one that stepped up and helped me get ONE young unicorn and I thanked her privately and publicly and I am doing it again.Thank you Syn for my Mnemosyne.She is loved dearly.
I usually just keep it all tucked up inside me but this time I had to speak out.You know who you are and you can go ahead and slam me all you want,you do anyway,I really don’t care anymore.If this is the example of how you treat people then I must say,it is a horrible example for this forum.It trully shines a black ray upon it.I am not alone in this thinking either,just so you know.I felt a part of something very special and good when I came here and spent thousands of dollars in the first few years on Windstones partly because of the kinship and warmth here but not anymore.
Your meaness has shed a very dark light on a wonderful thing in my life and it is spreading like a disease. May you see the error of your ways and learn the whole truth about things before passing judgement on anyone.
This is how I feel,don’t care if it chaps your butts or not because goodness knows,mine is.
