I'm verrrrry sorry to see you go, Cindy, but i don't blame you for stepping down...not a bit. i'm all for freedom, and I also back you 100%. I think you have the right to speak your mind, even it differs from the "powers that be." Our freedoms are being taken away everywhere. If you can't speak your mind here in the forum, then why would you want to continue to volunteer here? no, you can't stop being you, and why should you wanna try to be someone else? If you can't be yourself here AND be coordinator, then i understand why you step down. I would do the same. I'm also having some really bad vibes. Two people step down in 2 days...and Michelle just left a few months ago. sigh Like i said, i wouldn't do this job for the world. I mean, you're not even paid to do this job, so what's the point in continuing to do it if you can't speak your mind and be yourself? Like you said, you don't need the aggravation. anyway, you're a helluva an artist and you do one helluva a job in here. luv you just the way you are and I will raise the freedom flag with you girl! I hope you are still planning on being around!!!! hugest hugggggggzzzzzzzz sheila
