I have wandered for a few days to reflect and avoid making decisions that were too impulsive. To begin with, I thank you for these words of comfort, which, I believe, in a very humble way, I recognize have truly served me. In my life, I do not consider myself to have ever been a loser, but I am going through a period of great physical and emotional stress due to all my commitments and other personal pressures. In all honesty, reflecting on it, I realized that leaving this forum to go to ruin would be an even greater regret for me because I am not used to losing, after all the sleepless nights I spent setting everything up; therefore... I want to continue this crusade, but I ask for your help. If no one wants to take on the hot potato, at least help me all hold it. If the weight is distributed among more hands, the potato burns less or, at the very least, dissipates heat faster. I wish that such events, a sign of great incivility, would never happen again... I realize that this is not possible and in future instances, the matter must be nipped in the bud. I will always be willing to engage in dialogue with everyone, but I will never again allow anyone to express such peremptory and offensive judgments toward other people. I believe that even if one had the greatest reasons in the world, when one resorts to insults, one automatically moves to the wrong side. Therefore, try not to argue anymore, or at least, if relations with a user become impossible, notify me or the moderators, or simply avoid them. Believe me when I say that I don't know if I can withstand another disappointment like the one I experienced with Germano, Lory and her friend (all banned, obviously). And that is why, even at the cost of literally decimating the number of members, I prefer to have a few whom I know how to behave, rather than many who are uncontrollable. Do not be surprised if from now on I will be much less tolerant toward this type of person. My life is a hell of pressure. I wake up at 7, I am at the university all day from 9 in the morning until 7 in the evening. When I get home, I eat and study piano for another 2 or 3 hours, and before sleeping, I spend at least a couple of hours on the forum for various routine checks (It is not hard to believe me, just take a look at the publication time of my messages, as in this case). For me, the two hours on the forum should not be an effort; I would like to be able to relax after a killer day, but instead, I systematically have to poison myself. You understand that this is no longer possible... I ask for your help again, to all members: act as moderators of the sections in which you write, feel yourselves an active part and the engine of this site. Let's stay in touch, my door is always open.

Ad maiora, one hopes...

Bravo Simone, I knew from the very beginning that you would do "the right thing."

If only I didn't have doubts about everything, just as I had no doubts about this!

You have won for this occasion many other of my countless lectures!

Always with affection, friendship and esteem!

Dear Simone, I have always liked your photo because it welcomes you with a smile… I have never met you in person and when I read your writings I always associate your words with that smiling face (unlike mine, which perhaps isn't exactly the best).

I hope it is the same in reality; some people sometimes make us lose our sh...t but fortunately the world is made of 6,000,000,000 billion people (or maybe more)… life is too short to waste it on certain trivialities and I am sure that having a few headaches from time to time is worth it... in exchange for beautiful friendships, even if virtual.

I guarantee that in person it's like this, personally I was cracking up with laughter months ago when we talked quite a bit.

I hope it is like that in reality too; some people sometimes drive us crazy, but fortunately the world is made of 6,000,000,000 billion people (or maybe more)… life is too short to waste it on certain trivialities and I am sure it's worth having a few headaches from time to time... in exchange for beautiful friendships, even if virtual.

Usually even more smiling. That day I was annoyed because I didn't get the grade I wanted on my exam.

For the rest, I agree with you, but unfortunately nerves are nerves and when you are already tense on your own, it only takes a little to make you properly lose your cool.

Eheheh do you remember which night? Extreme!!

Come on, if everything goes well and I manage to get free, on Saturday the 18th if you want we can go for an encore and go wild with Mojitos and Piña Coladas in some club downtown...

I see myself more as someone "at the center," someone who "drinks," me who am practically "cupidity" personified

Dear Simone,

What a relief! . . . unlike Daniele, I did have some fear that you might leave.

I am glad that the dark clouds have cleared.

What you are asking is absolutely right: to be a bit of everyone "moderators".

Which in the end seems to me to manifest as being moderate: moderators, first and foremost, of oneself.

a warm greeting! and I hope for serene days for you . . . even amidst the thousand things.

P.S. I take the liberty of disagreeing with Frank: I like his photo very much!
