No, HAB, don't go! We'll miss you. :( And that "one person" is me, isn't it? :( :( :( Sorry, just don't go!

I don't think sorry will cut it this time. I honestly hate doing this to people, I really do, but Mei-xue, I don't think you're trying. Believe me, I know you're an awesome person, and it's great that you apologize, but I don't think you're trying hard enough at being less aggressive. Re-read Brook's comment about you shouting for some examples. If you're offended by this and say it here, I'm not going to respond. I've tried to make this as clear as possible.

Good bye H.A.B. It is a good idea to take a break from things, especially with everything that's going on.

Please do come back soon, though, l've always enjoyed reading your posts :)

Hotairballoon, I miss our old home here too. It's like being a Vetran, coming back from a war to find your hometown gone in flames. That is what I feel like right now. Everything is gone here.

But then again, Vetrans keep on fighting, always. Fighting for friends and families. Always. So why leave? Don't leave. I am seeing this all as a war, for it is. People fall as others knock them down. What happened to being a family on the CB? What happened to the sanctuary everyone could turn to for support? Somebody, somebody please save what little we have left before nothing remains.

Again, don't leave. Give everyone a chance. That is what I have been doing. Trying to do. Not doing.

Just listen, who is going to fix this? Either the ones not involved, like you and me. Or the ones fighting, to lay down their weapons. So please Hotairballoon, give us another chance. Let us not lose another family member to the war.  

I'm sorry... I know that person is me. I'm leaving, don't worry...

I definily think that taking a break will help. I think I'll take a break as well. I can't get on here without yelling at everone in my head.

OK.

**Blinks away tears**

Does it have to come to this?! 

Goodbye for now, HAB. I understand it's "the principle of the thing," even if you're only leaving for a week. I'm sorry you feel it had to come to this. I can't say I know which person you're talking about (though I sincerely hope it's not me), but whoever they are, I think if they read this post that they'll know you mean business.

Drama should never be the aim. I hate it when CBers fight, and I try to stay out of it as much as possible. More power to you, HAB, for making yourself heard in a caps-lock-less, sensible, yet still potent way.

Oh, Gandalf. Here comes the Nostlagia war all over again, but for a different reason.

I don't really know what to say because I'm super awkward and haven't been here very long and don't know you that well (wow that was a run-on sentence), but I can say that you will be missed. See ya later, HAB.

I can't say much right now. But HAB, I will miss you, and I will await your return.

Besides, you gotta keep up with my Ski Lodge. (Sorry you got killed off...but the story's not over!) *bittersweet smile* I'm sorry if it's stupid bringing up some old Ski Lodge at an important time like this...I...oh, sometimes I just don't know what to say. I'm sorry if I'm not conveying this well.
