Well, Buzzer, since you quoted my words without quoting me directly, I feel your comments are directed at me, even if obliquely. I think you have seriously misinterpreted my feelings of concern and TBH, I think you have misunderstood what I intended to be a main point of my post.
I never said that people’s feeling aren’t valid and if that is what you think I meant, that’s not the case. I also feel some of these feelings, and add anxiety to the mix because, well, the uncertainty that hangs over this forum is real. I’ve been a member for many years—less than some, more than others—and also have an investment in this community. I’m a fairly frequent poster, and greatly value the knowledge and friendships I have gained from VF, including Alta. I think it is unfair for you to imply that I am telling her she should be ashamed of her feelings, if that is what you meant by your post. I hope that she knows better, as I think she knows me better than you do. I don’t know what people are feeling about this forum when they aren’t actively reading or posting, and neither do you. I never said folks are walking around in their daily lives obsessed with or thinking about this forum. I have no idea how much mental energy anyone is devoting to the topic. My basic point was that IMHO we could have 1,000 threads that express our feelings about Wendy and the continued existence of the forum, but IMHO (my opinion only), they don’t impact what the end result will be. I can sense the hurt and pain in some of the posts, and in my way I am trying to ease that pain, not minimize the importance or validity of the feelings. I regret it if people interpret disagreement or an alternate viewpoint as meaning that it isn’t okay to post your opinion. I think I’m old school in that I appreciate a discussion, a kind of “back and forth” where we talk about the different things we like or don’t like without judgment. That’s my approach when I post, but I could be alone in that. Buzzer, if I have misinterpreted your post, please feel free to respond back. I hope that we are having a dialogue rather than an argument. It’s far too easy to misunderstand what we have written or read too much into others’ posts. Fitboop, thanks for your post. I think you hit a key point—the uncertainty about where this forum is going is definitely anxiety provoking in my case. I would love to see an “announcement” post that gives us all some sort of answer from Wendy, even if it’s an “I don’t really know what I want to do” post (which in the back of my mind I think is the case—only speculation).

It really is about, hey TELL us.
Even if it is an announcement thread locked with no replies allowed but just tells us what we all would like to know... What or who is in charge....and what is their intent with this forum. Not unreasonable to ask...or to expect an answer. ¯\(°_°)/¯

Okay, good deal—thanks for responding. That’s what we are all here for—to give our opinions! I guess I got an opportunity to clarify some things that maybe I didn’t say very well

That's it! "WWWendy" must lock this thread! (It used to be the "WWW" in WWWendy meant "World Wide Web." Now it means, "Who? What? Where?")
