Dear SW: This thread is for anyone else who cares to join in sharing an apology, olive branch, or encouraging word to Parker to return and participate in the community here a third time.

If you prefer to bark and blame, please do. So we can all get to know "who is who" around here by how you answer.

Please feel free to introduce yourself to Parker, post links to msgs/posts that define your style of interaction, and this will save time.

Thanks to SW members who want to know you are appreciated.

Fuck you to SW members who need to hear it that way instead.

If you don't like either way,  I assume that also means Fuck you.

=========================================

Dear Parker: 

I'm sorry I did not read your msgs in time to resolve the confusion.

Thank you for your email to Luna which explained you did not know which people to trust.

If we can please start over, Luna agreed to try posting "profile" pages so you and other new members

can see who is here, and something about their backgrounds, possibly sample posts so it is clear.

 

As for my part of the confusion, I thought you were doing fine.

I did not know I scared you using my real name, which I use on several other sites.

The references you found were likely me, and it's because I am networking to resolve social issues.

I had no idea this would come across as disturbing or manipulative to you.

 

If you can please let Luna know what you need to hear or know to feel comfortable and safe coming back,

please do so.

 

Many people have the philosophy of "sink or swim"

I believe we could develop separate sections or instructions to help new members.

You have a lot to share and good ideas can come from this.

 

I can only speak for myself, but I know that Luna stated clearly she prefers people stay and not leave.

I did read at least two msgs from ppl who found you refreshing as a "straight shooter" and wanted you to stay!

If I can find those two post I will add them here, so you don't have to hunt.

I believe a lot more people would mutually benefit from your returning to the forum

and trying this again. I don't see what is to be gained by staying away.

 

Sorry for the distress this caused, and thank you for reaching back out and offering to resolve it. That says a lot,

and I agree with you on that as the most beneficial and logical course of action.

 

Yours very truly,

Emily Nghiem
