Not Leaving
Just taking a break. The fact is, I love MSQC. I love the company, the employees, the family and Hamilton. I love their products, and their stores. I support them in everything they do. I don't do this blindly either. I know them. I have sat and had meals with them and conversed like old friends would do. It truly bothers me that are so many people on here now, that are so negative to the forum members, and to the company, that provides this free forum for their supporters. So yeah, when people post things complaining about them, I take offense, and get defensive, the same way I would if someone was picking on one of my grand kids. I don't understand why anyone would want to be a part of 'their' forum if you are only going to complain about them. Griping about the cost of their fabric, their precuts, their everything. Complaining about shipping, them not answering your phone calls right away, customer service, emails that weren't answered an hour after you sent them. Seriously, why are these people even here? This is 'their' forum, for there customers. Then you have the ones that generally have nothing nice to hardly ever say, and seem to look for reasons to target people because, God only knows why. I have to think, they are just unhappy in their personal life, and their personal situation. Then the other unwitting followers, follow suit for what ever reason. It has nothing to do with 'old timers' picking on 'newbies'. It actually seems to be the other way around. We have lost so many wonderful members because of this kind of nonsense. Look at the 2014 retreat group and see how many, that were such a big part of the forum are no longer here. It really is heartbreaking. And the simple reason is, that they too were tired of the negative turn that this once friendly, supportive group used to be. Look at the number of post in a day now, and the number of responses....those numbers speak for themselves comparatively to what they once were.
Granted, I have had my 'moments'. But in my defense, it has always been in defense of something or someone that I felt was wronged. So really, IMO, if you can't support their business, buy from them, be supportive of this forum then you should find someplace else to complain about them, and the members that love them.
I have 2 charitable groups in this forum, and they will continue. I won't give up my my mission, because of a few, out of touch people.
I have many friends here. You know real ones, not just ones I have talked to here....the kind that I have shared meals with, been in their homes, laughed with, cried with and had genuine hugs from. So I am not leaving....just giving myself a break from the dramafest that some members seem to create.
Love to my dear friends...in the words of Arnold " I'll be back"
