lets keep it real

i never thought that agony was trying to get attention. just stating her mind.

yes, it may seem like things "go undone". generally that might be because the complaint/concern isn't something to act on within the guidelines?

we might not always get the response we want, but they do get read and considered. even mods/admin have the guidelines to work by as well

alot of the experience depends on the member...

i'm totally aware of all of that..........

thank you tymber for knowing me enough to state the obvious. i did not post so that anyone could feel sorry for me or be on my side because i am "so dependent" on others. i posted because i wanted to vent. i didn't pm the people involved because i made a promise to a particular individual that i would not do that. quite frankly, meaning no offense to anyone, i don't care how any perceives me, what i post, who i am etc. the most important opinion is that one that i have about myself because that opinion is the one that comes first on the list. then comes that of my children, husband, and family. apart from that i could care less about anyone elses opinion. i am sorry to those who have misinterpreted this posting. it is like all others i have posted. one just to release something that is on my mind and move forward. it is not affecting me so much that i need to speak to go to a mod or admin about it. geeze that's extreme. as far as i am concerned this is over for me. now anyone can continue posting in response if they want but on my part this is over for me. thanks to everyone who has voiced their opinion.

Hey mouse, I am in agreement with you.

And what a funny Freudian slip "weather people".... when this thread is about 'weathering' difficult people!



ECHOES

I am in agreement with echoes and Mouse at this point --- this is too much drama for adults that have a conscience

Echoes.

(Not a reply just to you Tymber )

I just wanted to quote myself here from a post in a different thread.

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I think this is a good topic as a reminder to the community that just like IRL, we will not get along with everyone. I've always looked at PC like a microcosm to the world....we are trying to co-exist together, which is hard enough and then you add all of our various personal issues to the mix, it makes it hard. Along the lines of keeping in mind that everyone here is a human being with their own problems, I'd like to remind everyone of the ignore feature again. For me, this has been a valuable tool in the past. IRL, if there's someone I clash with, I stay away from them. Same goes here.

I wanted to say that I am here to try and help with the tension on the boards recently.

You are a riot, mouse!

Agony I am sorry for your frustration, and wanted to validate your feelings. You are not alone on seeing this though some of us have seen it for a longer period of time. YOU are taking the high road. YOU may not read this but I wanted you to know many of us hear you and agree....For those people saying this is too much drama..move on ...how is THAT comment supportive of this poster? I am shocked Admin did not edit those comments out...no scratch that I am not shocked just saddened

I like Agony's post ...

I would suggest people also read posts properly to ensure that they understand the intent behind them before they let rip in ways that do not dignify them

I also, like agony, value a bit of free and intelligent speech.

And not bishing and moaning - or attacking someone via PM.

There is always a nice way to say something or a direct way that doesn't dramatize things in an uncivilized manner. Receiving PMs from people who don't even bother to read a post correctly is not fun.

Understand everyone here is going through a hard time and perhaps we should all have a bit more respect (myself included).

Just my ten cents :>

thank you for your post. i honestly cannot believe the controversy this post has caused. as i said in my previous posts, i was venting. we are all allowed to vent thats what we do here for the most part. i respect those whose opinion has been that i am seeking attention, whatever. i thank you for reading the post and interpreting it for what it is.

thank you for your post. as i mentioned to Pas, i appreciate that you interpret the post for what it was. and i also wanna take this opportunity to say that this is all said and done for me. i posted my feelings and i am satisified thats it.

Some of the replies you received brought to mind the old cartoon heckle and jeckle......

I am going to go ahead and lock this thread. It has been stated that everything is said and done.

Thanks,
Rayna
