Taking a break
« on: September 03, 2015, 08:14:11 PM »
I am taking a long break from MCA. So you won't be seeing me at any meeting or posting on Here  .I need a break from the drama. If you need to contact me you can email me if you have my email. People should let go what in the past.

Sorry to see you go, you are always welcome at MCA events.

However, since you felt compelled to make a public announcement, I'll clarify what this is all about. 

The "drama" you refer to is typically brought about by your own actions, or lack thereof.  If you contact someone to purchase an item or fish and then back out, you're wasting the seller's time.  I've told you this at least once, and I'm aware that others have mentioned this as well.  You've done this for years, and it's been long overdue that this behavior changes.  If you contact someone to purchase something, have a plan in place to pick up the item, money for said item, and your parents permission to buy said item.  Do all of this BEFORE you contact the seller, and I greatly suspect all of the drama you speak of will not occur again.  If you do not follow this recommendation and someone gets mad and sends you pm's, you have no one to blame but yourself.  The forum isn't the issue, your inconsiderate behavior is.

Furthermore, this could've been handled via pm.  I realize you contacted Blair prior to posting this, but from what I understand, you waited all of 15 minutes to post this after not receiving an immediate response.

Sorry to be harsh, but being nice doesn't seem to be getting through.

If anyone reading this has had Jenna contact you to purchase something and then backed out of the deal, please pm me with the details.  Thanks.
