No, thanks for all that you have done..Just you are not good enough and goodbye..No maybe you can take on less cause we feel you have been valuable to us in the past..Just we assume such and such so we are correct so there is no talking us out of it..Suprised and hurt..Not sure why..They reminded me right from the begining of someone who did the same thing awhile back..Though I will admit they did it with more kindness but still sucks..Still didn't see this coming cause I thought I was doing what was asked of me..How can you say on one hand we know that life takes first priority and then on the other hand imply that daily activity perfection is expected..Those two sentences don't work together..Never could make meetings as I was always working..Suppose jobs should not be a first priority?..Sorry!..Suppose Iam not suppose to be tired after work and need to rest before I rush to their assistance..Suppose not having a life is a requirement..I appologize for not meeting your expectations!..Never have worked well in large groups..Tend to be overlooked and not noticed nor appreciated by some cause I guess I don't wave any "notice me" flag..Guess I never got into the ole butt kiss o' roo habit that seems to make some managers happy....Not sure if I should leave that group completely cause Iam feeling too hurt to remain there now

Hey......I'd leave, and also leave a few choice 4-letter words behind...........their loss, Pam.  And there's lots other groups/people out there.
 
And.....this is why I'd think twice before joining any other group.  How much heartbreak can ya take?  There's other things to do......
 
BESIDES...........
 
 
 
Never give up!!

Thanks Jim..Thank you for your support..Always nice to recieve..Iam not sure how much sense my vent last night made..I was just shocked and hurt..Those left hooks come out of no where don't they?..Just when everything else seems to be going somewhat okay anyway..Gesshh..I was asked to step down in a group I was an assistant at because I didn't meet their qualifications/expectations..I was given 3 days to leave their management site or be removed..Makes one feel all warm inside..I noticed their message on "day 2" which just proves how unfit Iam in their eyes..They are kind of big on giving time limits on things which always kind of urked me..They are also kind of big on banning for breaking Msn's rules which to be honest I think some ppl misinterpret Msn's rules..Kind of like the bible..Ppl see what they want to see..I have to wonder bout ppl like that..How much of it is actually necessary and how much of it is a power trip?..They didn't ask me what I wanted or attempt to compromise..I didn't fit the bill, end of story..Bugs me cause I have been there a few times when they needed someone and I didn't get any appreciation for that!..You would think a site as large as them would be appreciative of all the help they can get but nope it's their way or else..They felt I had too much on my plate as if they would know..Just nice bs talk..It is a different kind of group and I never revealed much about myself..It is a "learning" group which is cool but I don't think they have anything that they can teach me anyway..Their teachings are alittle unusual anyway and I can't wrap my lil brain around it though I tried..I did pick up a few things..Perhaps that's all I need at this time..I gave my time freely..Don't get paid or ask for anything in return..I think it is alot to expect someone to be there daily..Tried but couldn't make any guarentees which isn't good enough..They wanted me to be there daily and work as a team with the others not that Iam can't be a "team player" I just didn't fit in..I tended to hang back out of being uncomfortable and it worked against me..There is too much management and it is confusing..Don't know who is doing what..Just a bunch of ppl stepping on each other's toes..The two major butt kissers took over and got promoted to management..Lucky them..Hope they enjoy..
 
After thinking about it Iam gonna leave but not in a dramatic huff..Just silently one night I will slip away..I made no real friends there soooo no one will really notice..I just finished two tags and have to wait till they are picked up cause the group is set where all posts are deleted when you leave..As soon as those tags are picked up Iam gone..I just don't feel as comfortable as I did there anymore..Hey it is their group and  their right to have the rules that they do but I don't have to agree with them nor follow them..Even though they did express they value me as a member though I don't believe them and hope I stay on I can't help but to wonder what I may do down the road that will have me removed..I don't want to stick around to find out..Been hurt that way before even from so called friends..They have too many stupid rules and not a whole lot of compassion which is kind of funny since that is what the site is suppose to be about..Iam not feeling a whole lot of love and when Iam feeling that tis time to move on...
 
The reason why I keep joining other groups is cause I keep searching for ones where I do fit in..They are out there..They just have to be..Besides all of this just makes me into the tough cookie that is me..lmao..Take care, Jim..Thanks again for caring..Hugs..

maybe its just me, but it looks like there were a lot of "red flags" that could have indicated trouble down the road.  i steer clear of places like these, with lots of rules and posting requirements.  sounds like thiese people werent worth it to begin with.  just my opinion, though.

Right on, Jen.  Sure sign of paranoia, that, or at least a lot of apprehension.  And we've been there, done that, eh?

Yea there where some warning signs but I suppose I didn't trust myself enough to listen..In thinking back it was alot of little things that seem to add all up now but now is too late..lol..I already got hurt..I remember even thinking that this wasn't going to end well but I thought that was just fear talking..Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between fear and intuition..Could be just me though..The biggest warning I had felt was that the manager reminded of a manager in another group that banned me once a few years back..Maybe they are not that actual person but maybe there was a reason I felt that..Maybe I was warning myself that the same thing could happen if I crossed some unknown line at some point?..I dunno..The only "posting requirements" they had were they expected ppl to post once within a 6 month period of time which never bothered me and I respected as I have a similair rule..What bothered me was they threated having someone removed or banned simply because they broke their version of Msn's rules..There are groups out there that claim Msn doesn't allow you to merely post a graphic..There has to be words along with it as they feel this is cheating to get activity or a higher rating..Iam sure there are groups who have done this and this may have been what Msn was talking about if this is actually in Msn's code of conduct, not sure, but not everyone who posts only a graphic is attempting to "cheat"..I believe Msn would deal with this on a case by case basis and not delete all groups who's members only post a graphic or two on a thread otherwise they would be deleting alot of groups..Stuff like that was what I was referring to..Some other things that just gave me uneasy feeling but I just never put a whole lot of thought into it..Goes to show ya I probably should trust myself more..Anyway it is not a huge deal..I got hurt..I'll get over it..I probably should have known..Iam gonna leave as soon as those tags are picked up..I feel alittle sad bout going though not sure why, maybe just familairity, but I feel it is for the best..Like I said Iam walking away with something so being a member there wasn't a total loss..Thanks for your thoughts..I appreciate it..Take care..

Btw because of being asked to step down Iam gonna leave..Took that to make me realize I should walk away cause Iam uncomfortable with being there anymore..I would rather leave on my own instead of being removed down the road for breaking some rule or not meeting some expectation..The group is open so if I wanted to read some info that I might get something from I still could but I can do it without anyone knowing I was around which feels safer to me..

When I say "I got hurt..I'll get over it" I don't mean my feelings don't matter or that I don't take how I feel seriously..I mean that Iam not going to make it a big deal and take it personally..It is their loss, I agree!

*Members they expect a post once within 6 months..Management they expect daily..There was another group too that had a crazy expectation that was similiar and I told them to shove it, nicely of course..I had to reply to every single post..Geessshh..Some of these groups just want waaayyy too much..
