Claaws, I was gone at camp for 4 weeks, so I don't know much about what is going on. But, I understand what you are saying. I'll really miss you. I'm sorry that you feel this way and I hope that things in the real world will get better for you. We love you and support you just the way you are, whatever decision you make. I hope you'll come back in Valentine's Day 2019 and maybe pop in some other time. You are such a cool person and we are sad to see you go. Goodbye! 

Is that how you see me? Cold and bitter? I gave you everything I knew to give in that comment. I poured out my heart and soul trying to help you, and all you get out of it is, Cold and Bitter? Really? Is that all you get out of anyone's comments? I was trying to help you. What did I do wrong? Was it something I said? I give up. We are all trying to help you Claaws, and you see cold and bitter? I don't understand. I'm reading all these beautiful farewells and wondering why you don't see them as they are. Writing mine almost made me cry. You're breaking my heart, Claaws.

Is this really how you see me? Please reply to this.  

Oh man, I'm sorry, Claaws. I only have a faint inkling of what's going on, and I just don't know what to say. I hope you can return someday, even just check in...? You're an excellent writer and storyteller with a unique personality, and you're so full of ideas! I just have one question: Did you go under the name SJay for awhile? Or is SJay someone else? (Sorry, SJay, if you are a completely different person. I'm somewhat confused.)

Aah, I feel late. Anyways, aww, Claaws, I'm sorry that you feel that way. You're an awesome person, and I love your spunk and your courage. You'll definitely be missed. I wish you the best of luck in life, and please keep in touch with us! *hugs* Come back on Valentine's Day, okay? 

Stop.

Stop taking it out on the admins.

Stop taking it out on other people.

We love you, Claaws. But you are not acting like you appreciate that. Stop. Read everyone's heartwarming goodbyes that made us cry to write. Think about the people who love you and who miss you. And don't respond to this with anger and hate. Because nobody wants that.

Stop. Ask for help. If you are upset and angry, please ask for help from someone you trust. Lately the Claaws I am seeing iresponding to comments is not the Claaws I know. That is not the Claaws anyone knows because you are a kind, fearless dragon, and you know it.

So stop. 

We.

Love.

You. 

And I don't think you can possibly want more than that. 

I'm sorry, Claaws. I know no one meant hostility, and most everyone had something really nice to say. But I know why you saw it that way, I truly do. And I'm sorry. You... you should give a shot in someone else's shoes for a day, and they in yours. I feel if we could all do that, all switch places, even in our imagination, for just a day then maybe, just maybe things would start changing too. I know I already posted, but I had to do this too. Claaws, you aren't a dragon, and that's okay. I'm not either. Like I said, I am just a rough wooden shell on the outside, trying to protect everything inside. It's wood, and trust me, wooden armor isn't very protected. I only try to disguise what I can as strong, for otherwise I would break. And sometimes I feel like you are doing the same. And that you - your wooden armor - finally did fall apart. It isn't your fault. It isn't the fault of everyone else. It is simply life.

Claaws, you are loved. By everyone, everyone here. I read the Warriors thread and I know what is going on. And I see right and wrong in both sides, okay? You had a good idea, but the problem escalated too quickly, and I am sorry that happened. But you are brilliant, my friend. Absolutely brilliant. And I hope you will see this and everything else wasn't sent to attack you, but help to rebuild you. We aren't the Trojan Horse, beautiful on the outside but full of darkness on the inside. We aren't, I promise. Yeah, some came off harsh to my mind, but we all see the world differently, and they didn't mean it that way.

I hope you come back and say hello, and please don't forget about us outside of the CB. We were really worried... We want you back, please, even if it is just outside the CB. But I respect your decision, and I bid you the safest of travels on this road of life. Good luck my friend, and enjoy some Pi[e]. 

Claaws... I know you're hurt, and I know you may not believe me when I say this, but I sincerely believe that nobody meant to hurt you. How could we, when you are such a wonderful person? How can you not see how much we all love you? I've rped with you multiple times, I've joined your solo writes, I remember your beautiful dragon picturing thread, I've seen your posts on Kyngdom - maybe you aren't perfect, Claaws, but look how much you've given to the CB! I know that this is late, and that you're leaving and might not ever read this, but even if we can't convince you to stay, I really hope you know what an impact you've made on us. You're one of the most dedicated people I've ever come across - I mean, you brought the Spirit Animals rp back three times, and you didn't even start the first one! Your constant posting and shouted posts at me to come back are what kept it going for so long. You've already impressed us - you don't need to pressure yourself to be perfect (and trust me, I know quite a bit about pressuring myself.) I read through the warriors rp. It mostly just looked like people thought you were being a little controlling of the story. I think that everyone, both sides included, should take a step back and calm down a bit. Drama doesn't help anything, and none of know what's going on in each others lives.

Claaws, I wish you well in the future, and I hope that you keep at least a little of the dragon inside of you with you wherever you go.
