A Message from Miranda (StreetAngel95)
 

Most of you know Miranda from around here as she's really become one of us at the ripe old age of 15. I know I personally always enjoy her contributions and welcome her opinions when it comes to our girl. After all, it's not everyday we have teenagers in here with the depth of knowledge Miranda has when it comes to Stevie and the Mac. Unfortunately over the past few months she's been with us her parents have not known about it and discovered her secret and are not pleased about it to say the least. She has been banned from visiting The Ledge since her parents don't approve of her talking to "strangers" on the web. She wanted me to let you guys know how much her time here has meant to her and that she was so happy to find a place where she finally felt she belonged. If you would like to stay in touch with her please pm me your email and I'll forward it on. You will be missed my little sister of the moon!

:distress: I will miss you dearly Miranda!

Aww. :( I sent her a message on twitter to see if her parents kicked her off that too. So much for any meetup in AC this summer?

Anyway, I'm not sure if the best reaction is to disobey her parents wishes and give out her e-mail address to us strangers.

WHAT the hell? Banned from coming here? She seems a lot more mature than half the people her age. I've never seen her post any personal information or anything that would be 'alarming' to a parent of someone posting on a message board, so what gives? She has every right to be able to post here......aaaaagghhhh. End of rant, sorry. I just know if I was in her shoes and my parents had done that to me, I'd be very annoyed.

Anyways Miranda, I wish you all the best and I hope to see you back here soon.

xx

As will I :distress: Lindsey, can you give her a big virtual hug tell her from me that she'll always have Stevie and The Mac no matter what happens :) I miss her already :(

This is devistating news. I'm really gonna miss her!

This is horrible news. Miranda was a great Ledgie and never failed to make me laugh with her dirty jokes and whatnot. She will be sorely missed and may she live on as the poet in our hearts (or however that line goes) :xoxo:

Oh no! That is awful! Please tell her we will miss her!! I kind of understand where her parents are coming from and they want to be vigilant, but if, instead of banning her they'd checked the ledge out for themselves, they might have seen that we are all really nice. Perhaps after they think about it for a little bit, they'll change their minds. Anyway, tell her I'm really sorry :(

aww that's horrible!! Even though I'm new and didn't get to know Miranda she was always posting and seemed sweet and smart about everything she was doing. I was looking forward to maybe getting to know her because she's 15 and I'm 17. She was someone my age who shared my love of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac tand she knows so much about them. I was hoping she could spread some of that knowledge to me.
This makes me sad :(
She will be missed I can tell!!!

I hope she didn't get into too much trouble!! Some parents can be really strict about this kind of stuff :distress:

Bummer. Miranda's a sweetheart...and this place is really pretty harmless...

Wow.I'm sorry to hear that.I remember when I was young my parents banned me or going on the" CB" Citizens Band radio a talk to strangers,My mom got on the radio and said ,Country Pete will be going off the air for awhile ,And I signed off,As time past, I got back on the radio.this happend in 1975 when the start of the CB era also when the self titled FM album came out.Yes I'm showing my age now, that what we had before the internet for social communications..I hope Miranda will have a chance to see Stevie in August anyway.

That really sucks that her parents have such a misunderstanding...
her Lindsey obsessiveness is really entertaining. Hopefully, after sitting down with her parents or something, she will be back :(

It sucks for us because she was such a wonderful, thoughtful poster.

However, as I am a recent victim of Internet identity theft, I can't fault her parents for being overly cautious about the potential dangers of the Internet.

They are her parents and have to do what they think is best for her right now.

Agreed- especially at 15. Maybe her parents will look into the forum and decide differently at some point.
