well, I must be completely daft...
I'm not thick skinned,...at all....
I haven't written one single word on this thread, with any particular person in mind. That is not my style. If anything, I am too accommodating, afraid to hurt ppl's feelings.
What I meant about being daft, is every time I read that someone has been nasty, etc. I think, I am on here, about once a day,...except days like today, lol, and I don't see the negativity ppl keep referring to.
That's good. thanks everybody, that is not posting negative, nasty remarks or replies. :mrgreen: I am being funny, not sarcastic.
I joke as a way of coping with life, it's who and how I am. A WHILE back, my own, style of joking kind of downward spiraled. I APOLOGIZE, for the last time. Stop beating my dead horse, lol. :mrgreen: (ok, so he's wooden :wink: )
kwhite, you have a good eye, and I had the same feeling...I thought admin invited us here, to share our views.
I have not volunteered, bc
1-I didn't hear a request for a volunteer (s)
2 - I can offer support to ppl, send blocks for things, sometimes, share a smile, yada, yada, yada...I am limited as to what I can do, other than be a good member. I am a community benefactor. Admin thought that was valid enough for a little recognition. That was very nice of him. (again)
3 - even admin does not want to be a dictator, or he wouldn't have blinked at what we, as members think. It is his board, it is his party, they are his rules, and he can do what he wants, BUT, I for one, appreciate, that he is not going to use that leverage to 'force' us into submission, or throw open the door...my way, or the highway, so to speak.
I am here, and stay here, bc of his style of running this board. He really wants it to be successful, and he values the members. We are not pawns, to keep it running. I feel validated. I will leave, when I don't feel that way anymore, and I will pm or email all my friends, if it ever comes to that. He asked for opinions, and I have shared.
I have enjoyed this thread in a let's put our heads together for a better board, kind of way. I haven't been offended by anyone...lol, so far, anyway.
I don't agree with everything I have read, but that's ok. I didn't expect to. Neither did I come here thinking, everyone would agree with me. That's ok, too. I can still shake hands, bc that's what civil ppl do. :D
