I’m back from my holiday and slowly getting back into this time zone.
I had the most wonderful time, the scenery was great and my hosts Rev & Mrs Nick made me feel very welcome, thanks to you both 
My first Saturday there was spent at a Scottish & Irish festival. It seemed a bit ironic to travel halfway across the world to see bands playing bagpipes etc.  There were stalls selling supposedly Scottish wares, some of it was definitely not Scottish or Irish though.
We went to Niagara Falls on the Monday, that place is out of this world, I really can’t express just how breath taking and powerful the falls are. The rapids were even more stunning, white water boiling and bubbling as it went down river.  We stayed overnight and had rooms overlooking the falls which were lit up at night. I could see America the other side of the river aswell.  We also visited Niagara bird kingdom, then on to Niagara butterfly conservatory and botanic gardens. The gardens were past there best at this time of year, but there was still plenty to see.
The rest of the holiday was spent visiting ’malls’ small towns, aircraft museum and celebrating Nicks’ 50th birthday. All in all it was the best holiday I have ever had and would go back there anytime, the people are friendly and the atmosphere so different to anything I have ever experienced. It wouldn’t have been the same without my best friend and his missus to look after me though. 
Which brings me on to hootoo……..
I wasn’t totally out of touch while I was away, I had access to a pc so I have seen what’s been going on in the real world and hootoo, I’m not in the least bit impressed either. It seems the small minded schoolchild mentality is still alive and well and thriving on this site. My friend Nick got his space and posts removed again because some small minded individual didn’t like what he had posted. I know who these childish people are but I’m not going to name names. What I am going to say though is - Get a flippin life will you! I am sick to the back teeth of the pettiness, back-biting and individuals who think the are beyond reproach. What ever happened to ‘live and let live’ eh? What is it with people!  For that reason, I’m leaving this site. If anyone wants to get in touch and doesn’t have my email address, let me know and I’ll provide one. I’m sorry to be leaving, but I left school along time ago and cannot be part of the kindergarten attitudes of some people.
I might return one day, then again….
Big s to all my friends. Venus.

I'm glad you had such a great holiday. You certainly deserved it.
As for the rest, I'm afraid I must pass. What with my ongoing teeth and other (small) health issues as well as being busy with  and photographers and AViators, I've struggled to keep up with my own threads and journals, let alone be aware what else is going on on hootoo. You seem to have some insider knowledge which I definitely don't have.
I'm sorry to hear you'll leave the site. Pettiness of others should never win. Hope you'll reconsider.

The second part of that went over my head completely, I'm afraid.
It sounded like such a wonderful holiday until that came. Do bear in mind though - small minds can only get better by being in contact with open minds. That's a good general principle.

Venus, I'm glad you had such a good time in Ontario. I know that Nick and his missus loved every minute of your visit. He's already sent some footage of the falls and the rapids downstream. I love your haircut! Anyway, I'm quite jealous. I've wanted to visit the falls since the first moment I knew they exsisted. Hopefully that will happen next summer.
I hope you'll reconsider and stay on h2g2. It's difficult when our friends get what appears to us like unfair treatment. Your decision to leave, while regrettable, is understandable to me. You know more of the details than I do, and some of the particulars I knew at one time have fallen through my seive of a brain. But it did seem like a double standard existed and that Nick was held to a different set of rules than those on the other side of the quarrel. And other than coming back with a new U#, I can't see where RV 50 broke any sort of rules at all. Whether he was picked up by the mods or turned in by one of his former detractors, I don't know. I hope it was the former.
Anyway, h2g2 has a lot to offer. Can't you stay please, and embrace the good and ignore the nonsense?
