Sorry, but I don't see this as an evil place.
I didn't set out to embarrass you at all. I simply asked you if you thought you were the only one who knew how to post. Why? Because, while you are sitting acting like only others are wrong, you were totally offending me. I have a problem with anyone who tries to sit on a pedestal and talk down. Perhaps that was not your intent, but it is how I took it. So...there...think about it. Not one of us is perfect....I would rather like to think that MOST people here love this breed and are here for all the right reasons. I don't see it as a horrible forum at all. Sure there is always room for improvement in peoples' posts...but that goes for everyone.
Oh, and I was talking about you...not anyone else. This is like someone running a red light and telling the officer who is writing the ticket that it is wrong because other people ran it before them. |
What makes you think my words to stay positive, just as many have posted here, including Ann, asking posters to remain kinder and gentler going forward, are uttered from some pedestal or holier than thou or preachy, while none of the others on this thread are? Good thing you aren't doing any of the things you accused me of, Linda, pointing fingers, judging and coming off holier than thou in how you are now preaching to me about how I should not post! This is what drives people away - trying to stop someone from asking for politeness by making accusations.
Still, I think you should have that right if you don't want to go along with Ann's and others' requests - so who is preaching to whom about posting styles? All I asked for was in line with Ann's original thought - to be kinder and gentler in posting - and for some reason you got it in your head I was aiming at you and began to publicly object to my personal posting style! I don't get your palpable anger directed toward me. What's really behind it?
