I'm off, but want to say thank you

66Mustang

I always thought people who made leaving threads were being a bit silly or seeking attention; thought if you’re leaving, just go; but now I’m in that position I feel like I need to out of respect say thank you to those who have offered me support over the years whether practical help or a friendly chat.

My head is not in the correct place presently because we are dealing with serious issues and abusive behaviour in the close family. This leaves me very fragile and vulnerable to any sort of personal nastiness or bullying, including online, which has happened here so I need to avoid it. I am not giving any certain member the satisfaction that I have left because of them, it’s more than one, but will say I think the 99% have been lovely so thanks.

Might be back in future, might not, won’t be deleting my account and my PM is always open. I am happy to reply to PMs from any of my friends, actually would love it if you did PM, as I enjoy chatting, just don’t feel I can continue on the public forum.

If anyone replies to this I won’t read it now but may do so when I am feeling stronger. I won’t reply but please don’t feel I have ignored.

I hope I have helped people in return for the help I got, but I am certain I have got more out than I put in so I am very grateful.

Thank you

I know how you are feeling I have felt this in other sites as well but it's been nice playing games with you.

Will miss you. Please get things sorted and come back to us soon.

You will be sadly missed by me and others and I for one will keep in touch via pm 

You always start some great threads on interesting topics 

Hope things get sorted in your personal life and wish you the best

This really saddens me @66Mustang - I will definitely miss you on the forum, but appreciate you don't want to read anything here that might cause even more upset than you already have.

I hope things get resolved asap, & I'm sure you know that it will be lovely to see you on here again.

I am sad to hear you are leaving. I haven't been a member for that long, but I have always been aware of your positive posts which have been uplifting for me. 

I don't get overly involved on here (this is the only forum I'm a member of) because I am rather fragile myself and don't really need any additional stresses in my life. Unfortunately, forums always have some bullies and negativity (it's a power thing), as they will always attract some people with issues. 

We all need to be reminded to be kind ❤

sorry to see you go, i hope you are feeling stronger soon, take care and we will be here when you return

So sorry to hear this @66Mustang . Remember, tough times don’t last forever and I really hope to see you back on Scope again soon. My PM is certainly open to you if you ever wanted a friendly chat, I know what you mean about feeling the need to leave sometimes but I know things get better so that puts me off slightly.

All the best.

Hope every think gets sorted on the home front, don't leave it long before you come back please - hugs from me xx

I'm sorry to hear this. I don't know much about you but know i've responded to you a few times and i do remember your love for cars, as i'm a big car lover too.

I don't know what's happened to cause you to leave but i've certainly been where you are now. I must admit that in the past weeks there have been some rather needless rude comments from some people (not the regular members) and i always seem to be on the receiving end of those rude comments. I've been wondering myself lately, why on earth do i continue to post here.....

I wish you well!

@66Mustang

So sorry your leaving but I hope you feel stronger in time to come back, you are a big part off this community and will be sadly missed.

Take care ❤️

janer1967

@Ada yes I will let him know big in going to leave getting in touch for a few weeks to give him some.space . Have you not asked admin to sort out your pm.

janer1967

@66Mustang being fairly new here sad that the forum has lost for what I can see a valued member.

Because like @66Mustang you are a extremely valued member of this community.
(And your advice is very much appreciated by most of us, you have put my mind at ease more than a few times)
I'm sorry that any one here is made to feel undervalued or been bullied, when their intentions are nothing but good. 

I just hope this thread shows the value of this forum, and how important online kindness, support and friendship is to (almost) everyone here.
