View Full Version : explanation & apologies

hello everyone

first i would like to apologise for leaving in the first place

2nd i want you all to know i have NOT read any of the pm's sent to me on here,on other forums or my wifes e mail address i gave out

the reason for this is i knew once i heard from all my very good friends on here I WOULD COME BACK IN AN INSTANT.....!!!

the reason i was not coming back and the reason i left in the first place was.......

i could not and would not have let up on sickvenom,i could not stand buy and watch people being scaremongered or torn apart for asking questions and advice

so i thought it better that i leave instead of dragging the forum i respect so much down to daily arguements and pointless posts.

i have given wayne my password for my photobucket account and its the same password i use for all my forum participation

for my own peace of mind i will pm wayne and ask him to go into ALL the forums i use and vouch for me not opening any of my pm's from you all

re the reason for this.....

i wanted to speak to you all without any influence from your pm's.

so you would know what i have said comes straight from me and has in no way been influenced by my very good friendships on here

i will however open my pm's later tonight once wayne looks and see's they are unopened.

i have missed you all as i think of a lot of people on here as very good and real friends.when you go through bad times in every day life i feel for you just as much as if you lived in my street...!!

to me this place feels like one big family where we all do our best by each other.

i'm not being cheeky but you have no idea how hard it was for me to make the decision to leave

it was so hard being away from here that up until today i have not lurked or come back on as i knew the minute i saw all your posts i would NOT be able to resist logging on.

at 1 point on another forum i saw 1 pm from big rob and 2 pm's from wayne.that tugged on the heart and head so much that i stopped logging onto that forum for fear of it influencing me.

i did not want to come back to be known as the guy who argue's with sickvenom all day long.

i will not say anymore about sickvenom and i am in no way attacking the guy as he is no longer here to defend himself


for the record
this was the first day i lurked and this was the first thread i read.

for as sad as it is my reason for logging on was.....

even though i walked away to stop daily arguements,if this thread is anything to go by (and i hope its not) then arguements and rudness seems to have prevailed.

so i thought if your not part of the soulution then your part of the problem,so by default i had made myself part of the problem.

so i would like to rejoin our community and try to be part of getting it back to the HELPFULL POLITE forum it once was

thank you all for taking time to read the above and it sure is nice to be back

wayne if you feel my explaination warrents a thread of its own,then do your wizrad stuff and make it be:yes:

i hope i find everyone well and happy

all the very best shaun

Welcome back Shaun! We missed you (and your carpets)! Mostly you though! ;)

I was busy and unable to keep up with the forum while the great debate was taking place...when I had some time and came back, you were gone :(

But now you are back, wooohooo!

Shaun. Glad your back dude. Or should i say mate?:rolleyes: I was only here about 2 weeks when you left, the the difference in mood without you was palpable. And i feel the urge to tell you that my coastal is absolutely thriving, largely in part to the valuable advice you offered me so freely in my nerve-wracking first few days as a snake owner. Countless people can learn from you. And i missed looking at that pretty avatar of yours everydayy!! Good to "see" you buddy.

Welcome back, sir. Pics of your morelia and the great atmosphere you and everyone else here create are what urged me to stop lurking and take part again. Glad to have you.

Welcome back home Shaun!
Can't begin on how much you were missed, especially every time a new member asked about carpets.
As Wayne said, your back now, and certain others are not, that's all that matters. Back to happy snake family time. lol

SHAUNYBOY!!!! WELCOME BACK!!!

I was insanely busy with school the last few months and hadn't been around much until a week or so ago...and I saw and heard a bit and learned you hadn't been on the forum in a while. I'm glad you're back- I missed seeing pics of your awesome diamonds and your ugly mug! :-P

It should also be important to note that you did nothing wrong, you avoided stress by leaving, but eventually came back. I personally don't think any less of you for the choice you made.

re why i did not make it back on here last night or open my pm's yet.....

last night one of my grandkids was a bit under the weather with a chest infection and my daughter called us hysterical in a bit of a panic.so her mother and i went and stayed at her house last night (no access to a computer)

the wee mans doing great today though as his antibiotics seem to have kicked in....

and before you ask i'm not tube feeding him baytril :yes:

well i have a lot of catching up to do on the forum,so i'm off for a gander

please excuse me for not opening my pm's yet.i would like to do that later tonight once i have a bit of quiet time at mines.(got 4 grandkids under 2 years old all running riot at the minute)

all the very best shaun

I believe percey went to work in the mines mate (could be wrong)... so I wouldn't hold my breath on him popping anytime soon.

I believe that was mentioned on the boards at some point that he was heading out to the mines.

i have his e mail address so i'll drop him a line and see what our man percey is up to

thanks for the info

thats what i love about this place....

that folk care enough to ponder over absent members then investigate where they dissapeared to

like any family would when one of their own goes awol

cheers shaun

I was wondering where Percey had gotten to. I always enjoyed his posts, and he keeps some awesome snakes! I hope he stays safe and healthy...mines can be really dangerous.
