I do still occasionally read this forum but did not intend to post again. The moderator must be on a vacation or something as I asked him a few weeks ago to completely close my account and it is still open. I have noticed an impostor posting under the user name Kara1. I just wanted to settle this and make sure you all know that this is NOT me. Please don't confuse me with this person.
Kara, I must say that if you get your account closed, anybody will be able to reuse your alias and even steal your images to completely impersonate you.
I strongly recommend not to cancel your account.
If you are tired of the cyclic, useless drama here, (something quite understandable) it will be enough not visit the site (though I hope you continue to read our posts), have the PM feature turned off and no Email notifications (or filter them out). It is almost the equivalent of having your account cancelled. But you will keep save your alias, without the risks of sick people trying to impersonate.
Please consider that you have a rather public personality and are well known in the flutist environment, so that leaving that door open could be a bad choice.
I agree, do stay. You do not have to read or reply to anything that you do not find interesting and good. Relax, and do not take forum activities to seriously. I think it is possible to enjoy this forum without frustration, but you need to find a way that works for you.
Kara,
Let me put a logic in this scene so you can evaluate.
If you leave three things will sure happen.
1) You will not be able to give your usual great contribution to anybody in the need of it. There are lots of people here that is in this condition, although the majority are just listeners.
2) The guys responsible for your irritation (and believe me, there are always one or another in every public environment like this one) will sure celebrate one more soldier down.
3) We will deeply miss your friendship, straightness and sincerity.
Greetings,
Long since, I have not opened the site, luckily I opened & saw your posting. I was really shocked to know that you are quitting.
Then read everybody's comments about you. They are so touching & personal. No one has seen you personally but still this site & forum has made you part of the family.
All of us have been writing & relating to you as if we know you personally for donkeys years.
Kara, after reading everybody's message, if you still decide to quit then you would be hurting everyone. By hurting others, I do not think you shall be able to forgive yourself.
Stay for your freinds if not for yourself.
It is the flute bonding, keep it bonded

Thank you all for your kind word or encouragement I am very sorry to my friends and I certainly hate to let anyone down. I will share with you what I wrote to Jose in a PM.
I don't know if the moderator it going to close my account or not. Serious things in life that happened recently was a real eye opener for me. It made me think that a forum where bickering was happening was so little and less important and not worth it to me. When it effects my mood in my everyday life and I find myself snapping at my husband because of it is when I think that being on the forum it just not worth it anymore. I seem to always get myself into some kind of war with Micron and can't seem to help myself. It just isn't healthy anymore. I will seriously consider your words and what others have wrote to me also. It really does mean a lot to me!
Kara....I just recently came across this website and all these wonderful posts. I after many life changing events I am getting back to playing and am shopping for the perfect flute. You are a big reason why I created an account and have been reading this forum. I find your comments and postings very informative and am using your shared knowledge to help me in my flute shopping! Know for one persons negative comments, I hope that doesn't overshadow all the other good that comes out of you being a part of this forum. I would very much miss your input. I don't have any friends that play the flute and to have a group like this to share stuff with is really fantastic! Forget the Negative Nancy.
Kara1 = Rexicano & Rexicanoo on youtube - he wrote me many times on youtube saying the same thing over and over, he is probably some Mexican living in USA, he likes guitar and flute, he also make fun of Nina Perlove and many black people and Japanese's videos, if you search Rexicano and Rexicanoo on yahoo and google you can see many of his racist comments, maybe he is just taking the rage out on other races. Sooner or later people will report him to the federal government. He has a lot of hate in him, hate leads to suffering, sigh...

Kate,
I have just happened to look into this forum and find your posting. I don't know what are the events that led to your decision, but I can understand your frustration when people react rudely and in a manner which is not called for. However, unfortunately, it is a fact of life that there are rude people in any human gathering, real or virtual, and it is a serious mistake to take every rude comment to heart. It is even a more serious mistake to impose your frustration on your spouse. Both your heart and your spouse are more important than thoughtless rude remarks of shallow people.
Leaving the forum is not an answer. If you do not learn to build for yourself a thick skin in order to defend yourself against unruly comments, you will be hurt again and again in other gatherings you might be interested in. You are better off learning to ignore any remark which does not deserve to be taken seriously. I know that this is not easy, and I hope that you will be successful in accomplishing this difficult task.
searching...
