I thought this post through carefully, and have decided that I cannot stay with this tennis board any longer. When I first joined I thought it would be a good place to be. It appears when a poster posts anything related to Serena Williams people who hate her don't want anything good said about her. I don't see that in other players on here. Serena is one of my favorite tennis players. I don't think I will feel comfortable posting on her anymore. If any are wondering why I have come to this conclusion, read the post entitled, "Serena Withdraws From The Swedish Open". Feathers were ruffled when I responded to this poster about our regret about her having to pull out. Other players have pulled out and mean things were not posters in their threads. If you don't like her why do you get so angry about anything good being said about her. I am not a fan of all tennis players. Serena is not the only one of my favorites. I am probably old enough to be lots of posters grandmother, and great grandmother too. My oldest grandson is 33 years old. Thanks to the good Lord I still have the capacity to enjoy tennis and can communicate with people on a high level. I am not being run off the board, but I just do not desire to be among mean spirited and hateful posters. Take note that I am not denigrating everyone on this board.
I enjoyed responding to good posts and some of the posters are really great people. However, I just I cannot say good things and get disrespected for it. This is no place for me. I would rather not respond if my responses are going to cause that kind of action from someone else. I don't want to cause anyone to hate anymore than they already do. I wish everyone well on this board and I'm sorry that I have to leave. I hold no hate for anyone under any circumstance, but it is just that I am uncomfortable in this situation. I am being placed in a position wherein I don't want to respond to posts pertaining to Serena Williams as there is so much hate for her here. She is one of my favorites and that won't change. Everyone have favorites that is the way sports is and will always be. I knew that was what the whole post was about when I got that awful response, because why would anyone care about you agreeing with someone else? When one can't agree with another poster then it is time to go. Posters have fun on the board because unfortunately I did not have fun here. Good luck and may you all enjoy life and the board.
