Uri,

I agree.

It's getting a bit Pathetic!

I think we should put together Rules for those in charge of making the rules as well as Editing.

Chevra,

I am taking a break from the forum.
It might be for a few days.
It might be for a week,a month,or 2 months.

Im doing this because I have become addicted to the forum. While this is better than some other addictions, I am not so happy with it. I want to try actually living life, and leave this virtual world, as beautiful and as secure as it might be.

I have no hard feelings for anybody.
Quite to the contrary, GYE saved my life, without a doubt.
I have found love and security for the first time in my life.
In the safety zone of that security, I have found a part of myself that I never knew existed.
The appreciation I have for Guard and the rest cannot be put into simple words.

I will not be signing on anymore, so PM'ing me will be futile.
I will still be periodically checking my email, so feel free to email me if you'd like.

All the best, GYE,
Uri

I removed this line, Uri:


Im doing this because:
1)I do not like the direction the forum has taken. I am lacking the feeling of complete freedom of expression which has been so beneficial to me.


I removed it because I don't think you should be free to express that.


Does anyone know what Uri's talking about (other than spelling mistakes)?

Anyway, we wish you luck little bird... Go out there and flap your wings. Take to flight. Feel the air flowing around you. Enjoy life.

Most of the changes are spelling and grammar corrections, which I assume no one minds.

Regarding other types of edits, the GYE Forum rules try to strike a balance between freedom of speech (see first sentence of rule #1), adherence to Halacha and decency, and not distracting from GYE's mission.  Complete freedom of expression may be good for the individual, but detrimental for the forum as a whole.

Uri, we wish you Beracha v'Hatzlacha!

I hate to do this, but most English language authorities concur that a comma before a grammatical conjunction (Such as in your sentence above) is redundant. Please try to avoid this in future posts.

Eilu v'Eilu.  Anyway, I don't correct such subtle mistakes.

Uri

Take the break you need

but please record your meetings with your therapist because it's great benefit for us and we gain alot from it.

and then post it here when you have a chance

and for me personally it would be helpful do describe that emptiness, and the subsequent comfort and security that fills that space.

and I'm being truthful when I say that it is not mere curiosity that has me ask this of you
