CHILL!!!

Falcon

I usually try to stay out of things like this. And actually, I'm not quite sure why I'm not. I just wanna say what I'm thinking so I can forget about it and move on. :ohwell:

Personally, I feel we should all try to find a middle ground. Being an overly sensitive person myself, I can totally understand where some members are coming from. It's one reason I don't post very often (aside from the fact that I rarely make time for the computer lately). I also do understand that this is an internet forum, and is open to the public, so there will always be a difference of opinon and everything should be taken with a grain of salt. I agree things got blown waaay out of proportion in multiple threads the past couple days. I think deleting one's account over what happened in the 'Swine Flu' thread was very over the top.

I also believe that bluntness definately has it's uses. Support doesn't mean always patting each other on the back and ignoring when people seem to be looking for excuses to slack and ease guilt. It also doesn't mean automattically agreeing with other's opinons and walking on egg shells so that no one gets hurt feelings. Sometimes "though love" is just what's required. Pushing ourselves is the only way to improve, both mentally and physically, and sometimes we need someone else to give us a little push.

BUT - I still feel that some posts I have read lately have been unnecessary. I'm not going to point out which ones, cause it really doesn't matter. Maybe they were only unnecessary in my opinon, which is part of the point. We all have different levels of what we feel is acceptable. And yes, maybe some peoples levels need to be elevated, but while none of us should feel we need to skirt around subjects to avoid causing a stir with the more sensetive members, does that mean that some understanding can't be given to them as well? It seems to me that it has all been "live with it, toughen up, deal", which is valid advice, but just as this is a public forum and so the more blunt members have a right to say what they wish, do not the other memebers have the right to enjoy themselves here as well? Can't we all just try to get along, and maybe take walk in each other's shoes?

I've seen this forum go through one exodus already, and I would really hate to see it go through another.

:flowerforyou:

well said :flowerforyou:

Actually I've been through three - four exodus on different boards I really don't like it at all.

And three of those exodus were caused by the board owners. Try talking to someone with a personality disorder is like hitting your head on a brick wall.

You can't talk sense into people like that.

Now see - you've done gone and offended people with personality disorders... I'm offended.:sad: :sad: :sad:

It had nothing to do with this board, the guy was crazy deleted accounts, saying there were glitches demoting mods, calling people liars, hacking accounts pretending to be someone that was already banned from the board, saying people had multiple accounts because they had the same internet company with the same IP addresses at one point or another. I know this is true because on the other board I ran IP checks on people and figured out why two or three names would pop up under the same IP address. He drove well over 100 people away from the board. He asked people to donate to keep the board running, then he would hack their bank accounts, call people telling them weird things. I called him out on it and was the second one to be targeted by his bad behavior. He even has records of doing this to two other boards. He had three accounts pretending to be three different people. oh good lord the owner was a complete basket case. I tried reasoning with him and he just refused to see the light. I even have this theory he's eighteen years old throwing tantrums. He even seen me as the ring leader of the first group that walked away. I helped reorganize a new board for people to go to after all of this had taken place. There was a massive amount of emails going on and he was playing games with all the members. It was the most horriable experiance I ever had to go through and I hope to never ever go through that again. I wonder how I managed to keep my sanity during all of that. And thats just scratching the surface. He called the authorities on some of the members, continued to do this to newer members and over a period of two years about every three to four months we would refer this to him cleaning up the board of members. He would keep doing this to new members. He would ask new people to mod the boards for him, and they would become the next set of targets, Anyone who disagreed was targeted as a traitor to his board and banned immediately because they thought outside the box.

Sorry if I seem if I have a hard edged attitude about things.

I offended myself this morning and was passive-aggressive with myself all day. I was so pissed at myself, I could have just kicked my own butt. I get so frustrated, because I talk and I talk but I just don't listen to myself and then I get all mad and cry, which makes me even more angry at me.

I do plan on making up with myself tomorrow morning though, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!! :glasses:
