leaving O H all together by this weekend

Michelle, I agree with the others you haven't done anything wrong.  You are so welcome here.  If you have been threatened in any way, please let OH know about this.  If you know the names of these bullies, please report them not only to OH, but the the police.  Any threat should be taken seriously.  Wishing you all the best.
Debbie

You know, that is a form of stalking, I've experienced that here on OH....just hang tuff....

Dear Michelle, 
What a crock of crap.  You don't need to be the target of some hate mongers.  That's now what we are about here. 
Here's another idea.  Maybe you could rejoin under a different screen name, change your photo.
I hope you keep losing but we don't want to lose you.

Michelle...you are welcome here anytime. We enjoy having you here.

As for the others.....you can't fix stupid!!!

We are all adult enough not to believe a bunch of crap coming from others....Michelle we know who you are and we like you!!

Please reconsider.....HUGS....connie d

I agree with the others, Michelle ... if you leave, then you have let them win. They are the idiots here. I don't know what the situation is, but hang tough. Block these people, stay with us.

We value you. Those other folks, whoever they are, are childish.  Everyone has a right to free speech. They are taking away your rights. Don't let them. This is bullying.

Floyd is a great guy. He steered you here for a reason. We are all your friends. Please stay with us.

I'm really confused! You say 'they' threatened you over shopping, and when you did so threatened you again. Did they threaten you face to face? If so, this is a police matter. And if not, why should you care what they say about you. Anyone worth worrying about their opinion of you should be big enough to form their own opinions of you from your actions here. The others don't matter. You also said they lurk and don't post. Again...why the worry? I be damned if I'd let some wingnut with a confidence problem run me off from a message board I enjoyed!

As some of you have said, you don't understand, that is true you don't. I can't get you to understand either because these women followed me here once and they will again. Then when they start saying how I have stalked and harassed them you might start believing it like the ones on the Indiana board. Maybe you won't but I am not going to take a chance on that. In the last year and a half my life has been full of pain. So I do not want any more pain and especially not from some place where I have the ability to stop it. I am not going to stay on here even though you all have been so nice to me, because there is a possibility that even 1 of you could turn on me the way they have. Until that fateful day when I said that I was going to get an AK-47 and go postal on the Indiana board I have had nothing but pain from them. I was in a bad patch anyway and still am, so I do not want to have to deal with being harassed anymore. Even if you would not do it they could start it up down here. So I can't and don't want to chance it.
 Thanks for all of your kind words and I am not letting them win, I am doing this for my sanity. They did not threaten me face to face. When I went to the clothing exchange they sat in the room where everyone eats and I just felt like they were going to come in there when the time came and then the crap was going to start. Some of you said that you would do things just to spite them well that was what I did at the clothing exchange. They told me not to go and I did. Then the harassment was worse than ever. If you went through this you to might "give up and let them win". I may be back here in the future but it would have to be after my rough patch is through so I can be a bubbly person like is wanted and needed on here. Thanks again for the encouragement and the request to stay. I will be emailing Brenda occasionally on how I am doing. She can then pass it on to you. Have a nice weekend and a really nice life. Your friend Michelle 

P.S. the AK47 thing was supposed to be a joke!

Hell, people are turning on me all the time, they just don't like what I have to say, they ask a question and I answer it, I don't tip toe around and sugar coat it, so I too get flamed and crap, but I am still around, not as much as before, I've been here almost nine years of putting up with it, i just sort of take more of a back seat now and watch...

You can't llive your life in fear like that....you'll never be able to do any thing or go anyway, your making yourself a prisioner.....these women will protect you...and then few men that are here

Those kind of jokes aren't very funny in this day and age considering things like that actually happen. 

It is so sad that you have had this happen and feel this way!  I love reading the post here as being over 50 has a whole set of problems that the young'ens don't have to deal with.  Or at least to the degree we do.

I would at least stay to read.  I do ton's of reading here and little posting
