that the message is appropriate for an email and not for posting. And I agree.
It is personal and affects nobody else. It doesn't give other hobbyists any information they can use.
It would be similar to somebody who didn't show up for a dinner engagement to publish an apology and regrets in the local newspaper. It's just an inappropriate place to do it.
And the link, frankly, borders on shilling.
I agree with Swedish Anna and Victoria that if you don't like something, don't read it. But you don't know if you like it UNTIL you read it.
And, at the risk of repeating myself, it is not about liking something or not. It is merely a shared opinion that the forum is no place for personal apologies and messages. We've got email and phones for that.
And I did not get up on the wrong side of the bed. 
Hello Sweetie,
I am so very sorry that I was unable to see you during your recent sojourn to Los Angeles. I was really looking foward to celebrating a belated Christmas with you. I am very much looking forward to your next trip and I assure you, wild horses will not keep me away from your lovely smile and wonderful personality.
Let's see if you and I can't arrange for some extended time together 
Puss och Kram, Sweetie.
sweetie, sweetie,
It was such a major disappointment to not be able to see you when I was in LA, since I had been looking forward to it for so long. Next time I will stay closer to you, and you won't be able to have ANY excuses to why we can't see each other
Thank you so much for the package you delivered. It was such an amazing day for me getting all those Christmas presents delivered that I could have never dreamed of. Those were infact so much nicer than what my ex used to give me...that says a lot about you and your character for sure.
Again, Thanks and we will stay in touch and I will see you the end of February when I will be back.
Meanwhile enjoy the lovely and wonderful Victoria. She will take great care of you
Puss och Kram
Swedish Anna
My momma always used to say; If you don't have anything good thing to say, don't say anything at all. We are all allowed to express ourselves here, if you don't like it, don't read it. Simple, huh?
Just lighten up a little & have a wonderful day
xoxo

I can agree with you too however I don't see the harm in it. It isn't a big deal. Yes, it might not enlighten other people, but my problem is that people are so darn negative. He didn't put it up there to hurt anyone else or talk bad about anyone, like we see other posts here. So when something nice is said, it gets shot down right away. Yes, maybe there is another forum for it (ie; email etc) I agree, but why aren't we allowed to make other people happy here? We all know that this board is different than most other TER local boards and we talk to each other in a different way. We know each other, and we actually do care for each other sometimes even.
My main problem is that some people are so fast at being negative when all I/we want is for you to be happy.
It is the attitude I am talking about, nothing else.
So anyway, be happy, have a great evening and good things will happen for all of us
xoxo
Anna
