Don't leave us, Heidi!!!!!!!!!

that no way should you leave this BB, i love your contributions even if you are from The Big Crabapple (aka Toronto!)…

Seriously, you are a bright light on this board.

I only wish i knew you and other posters the last time i was able to go to the Royal…

I missed the whole thing…but I just wanted to post…Heidi I’m so glad you’re not leaving!
…you leaving the BB, well, shit…that’d be like Letterman never telling another joke, Clinton not liking women, moose not living in Maine…me not liking horses! It would disrupt the alignment of the universe causing a catyclismic (sp) event of magnified proportion!!! Aaaaaa!

But, joking aside, I’m very glad you decided not to leave. I am very sad for your son, that he feels unsafe in some way…no child should grow up feeling that way. I think everyone, in some sense, has lost a sense of security and ‘innosence’ but kids probably most of all. Because everyone is so different and grieves differently…we all have to be patient with each other and more sensitive to each other I think. I’m sorry if you were hurt in any way…opinions are fine…but hurting feelings I think isn’t right. Just wanted to let you know that.

Good one Heidi - you held out for all of 3 pages!

Who loves ya babe? Where’s my bitchy email?

Heidi’s leaving? Heidi is leaving? HEIDI’S LEAVING???

Nnnnnoooooo! And again, nnnooooo!

What happened? What did I miss? Please don’t go, I just love your posts!

Okay, my third post on this subject (can ya’ tell I’m upset). I read ETBW’s post and went and deleted my last post on that contentious thread. Though I was only discussing some of the books others were reading and sharing some others I thought were good, I no longer wanted to contribute to a thread that has hurt people to this extent.

Heidi, DON’T LEAVE!

Just look how much time you’ll save NOT reading posts from the spitting wife of VIP and a geriatric patriot.

Love you Snowbird IloneE - eh, you I don’t love.

we are nearing 10K on the Bush whoops thread…I think it is amazing that a real world topic has held the interest of us close-minded horse folk for so long, and think what a service we are providing for the many lurkers who just check in to keep current…

Heidi! Heidi! Heidi! No, no, no – your disappearance is not allowed.

We will bombard you with a relentless e-mail campaign, and then we will make Jair and every other Canadian here show uup on your doorstep, one by one.

Just remember, for those who are lost in their politics and social agendas instead of horses, in the words of a great modern philosopher:

“F*** 'em if they can’t take a joke.”

I am relieved to know that you will be here when I become pompous and overbearing and remind me that I need an attitude adjustment. You know as much as I may advertise our value the fact is that my generation was flawed. We just learned to try and keep it a secret so the younguns’ would never find find out about our imperfections.

We were rebellious teens and reformers too. Most of us will not admit our escapades from the rebel days before we felt the need to be a role models.

So if my extravagant analogies seem extremist to you, just count me in as another rebel from a different perspective, and thank you! By the way I really love Canadians. I even have a picture of Pierre Trudeau in long red underwear jumping into a swimming pool and being foolish on whatever holiday it is you celebrate up in Canada on August 1.

Told you she would be back.

you are absolutely not allowed to run away!!!

Heidi-

No such thoughts, m’dear. We love you WAY too much. I will not and cannot let it happen. Nope nope nope.

Heidi, you MUST NOT leave. We NEED you.

Heidi, you must stay with us. You are one of the most intelligent, entertaining and kind posters on the BB… Please don’t let the non-horsy stuff get to you too much.

I’ve done what some others have and stayed away from certain topics because I was getting to angry – all of these are non-horse related.

So heidi, please, please stay and continue to amuse and entertain us with your witty, literate and intelligent posts.

Hope to see you in Garrison on the 13th!!!

Don’t you dare leave Heidikins!

Who will play with me now?

Who will outwit the americans on Thanksgiving?

You bring too much to the BB in terms of your thoughtful, philosopical topics and posts, your caring attitude, and your hysterical sense and timing of wit. Don’t let the heated tempers and overly stubborn views of just a few people drive you a way. You are better than that! Just ignore the topics they post on! Maybe even take a break, but don’t give up.

I know its easy to get beaten down from some of what is said here, especially when you are genuinely attached to the BB, put please remember that those tyranical BB’ers you have had enough of are few and far between. Don’t deny the rest of us your company just because of a lousy few. :rolleyes.

If you go I go!

wow see what I miss if I ACTUALLY go to class? geeze, have to stop doing that…

Glad to hear your not leaving Heidi, of course you know if you did leave we’d have to hunt you down and force you to entertain us.

Bitchy emails? From moi? Surely you have me mistaken for another charming Swiss miss.

I wasn’t holding out Canter, I was recovering from an afternoon with a girlfriend and three pitchers of sour apple martini. Yup, heard me right. Don’t ever try this at home kids.

I have also been consulting with Ozzy Osbourne for a deprogramming of Sumo – who’s revealed that his favourite song is a Korean hymn sung by the Korean equivalent of Tammy Faye Baker. He has even confiscated the tape from my mother’s car and forces me to listen to it, even nudges me as I grimace, sharing with me, “mommy, listen, that’s my favourite part”. It’s hard to believe we’re related.

Shall email you my usual bright and cheerful missive to firm up a date for pig parts.

NOOOOOOO…You can’t leave…I just got here! I know I’m a shy newbie here, but I really enjoy your posts. PLEASE DON’T GO!!!

May I say Heidi that we do need you. That you make the debate interesting and challenging. Think of your grandmother and whether or not she would have run away in the face of a challenge, I know she never did.

I come from a generation that digs it’s heels in the sand and is stubbornly addicted to principles of freedom and justice for everyone (and means everyone). I will fight to the end for your right to disagree with me, because it is so much better than apathy.

You will make me feel like a failure if instead of you being motivated to defend your perspective you choose to escape. All I have tried to point out is that we are a free people who are not required to be politically correct. You are one of us and you have the same right. Debate makes you think out your position and change it, or alter it or keep it, as the situation proves based on logic.

My whole point all this year has been one person with conviction can make a difference. Two years ago there were less than 500 members on this BB and this debate on issues would have never happened. You have already been part of a revolution that has changed the Internet.
