Ok Folks, tell me if I am wrong I received a PM from an individual and I will not show her screen name. This is what she sent me... <I wanted to tell you, I thought it was really rude and disrespectful to post a thread on Lisettes Dad passing away. I know a lot of people care for eachother on here, I understand that part of it. What I don't understand is someone posting that type of information when they are not family members- esp gathering it from her Facebook. If she wanted to share that information she would or will post it. That was out of line on your part and next time you should think about what you are doing.> I had no intention of being rude or disrespectful. Lissette is a personal friend, and has met Marge 4 times. I took what Lissette posted on Facebook so it is not like I did anything to stir the pot. I know some people still harbor some resentment or hatred for me, and that is fine. It is messages that I get like this, that makes me seriously consider leaving YT. I know I am far from perfect, but I felt I did the right thing as a lot of YT people are not FB users or friends. |

But, for the record my warm hearted friend, whatever I post on FB stays on FB. :p Just kidding! I post more on YT anyway. Have you seen my post count? ;) |
I think you did the right thing. Sometimes in time of crisis /loss it is nice to have someone post for you. It was in Facebook so I am sure Lisstte was glad you let YT know. Ignore the negative people life's too short. |
I didn't find anything rude or out of place with what you did. I am FB friends with Lissette also and had seen her post there first. I may be wrong but I am sure she will appreciate the thoughts and prayers from her YT family also. |

I just rece <You apparently do not see the point- some of you old people are set in your ways- you are now on ignor> Now I am old! I still feel young! |
I was surprised by that PM you received. I thought nothing of your post other than you were asking for prayers and support for Lissette, who obviously is going through a terrible time right now. I've also seen ppl ask for support when other members are sick or for members birthdays. |
I personally do not see anything wrong at all with the post. I think it was posted because you care about her and wanted her to know others are there for support and prayers. Steve, we wouldn't know what to do if you left YT. We all have learned that we can't let others ruffle our feathers. Take it with a grain of salt and move on. Oh, and remember you are only as old as you feel!! ;) |
Oh, my, Steve! Consider it another bump in the road of life and you put that person on ignore. How very rude of that "youngster" to call you old and rude. I am FB friends with Lissette, too, and she would have shared with her YT friends as well. Don't forget, Steve, hit the "ignore" button and don't you dare leave YT!;) |

The world today is so full of hate and war. Our private lives are being ruined more each day by people killing or robbing from us. How nice it is when someone does a kind thing like ask for prayers for a friend and how sad it is that they are rebuked for doing so. The one thing which this world is lacking is love for each other. Not the romantic love the younger ones enjoy but love for a fellow human being and respect for those who only wish to do the right thing and support a friend. I consider myself as old now but I can often out class many young people with my respect for my fellow human beings. Anyone who cares enough to inform others of a terrible tragedy real or pending, has to have a kind heart. So sad to read you were taken to task for doing what you did and out of the love of a friend. |
I know sometimes people get upset at posts for some reason or another that I can't even figure out, especially when they don't have anything to do with that person. I hope you just know there are people who like to criticize posters/posts and that makes their day. Sorry, I just had to say that. I think what you did was sympathetic for a friend. I think you did the right thing. Lissette would be the person who would tell you if she didn't like it. She posted it on FB so she obviously wanted to put it out there. Please don't leave YT because I for one (and I know a lot of others) have always enjoyed your posts. You seem like a great person to me. |

What is wrong with people. Even if this person thought what you did was wrong. What did they get out of making you feel bad for what you did. I could see if it was Lissette who was upset with you, but who even is this person and why do they care?? Some people who think they are "all mighty" and know all etiquette should know better than to send that kind of a message to someone. You did a very nice and careing thing and Bless you for it. You got slammed for asking us to keep her and her family in our prayers!!! What a terrible person you are!!! I think Lissette has a nice people for friends. |
Please don't leave YT because one sad, nasty little person decided to pick you to be the whipping boy for her(?) ills. You have been thorough enough this week, yourself, and yet you still think enough of others to ask for prayers and good thoughts for Lissette. IMHO you are not wrong, the person downing you is. We love you here! |

I see nothing wrong with what you did either. I can't believe the pm you received. I guess everyone just thinks differently. But even though I do not know Lisette as well as you guys, I have a feeling she would want her friends to know so that they can keep her family in their prayers. I know she will appreciate all of the prayers and kind words during this difficult time. I know I would! |
I think you did nothing wrong at all. Steve, consider the source.............evidently that person is so unhappy that she doesn't like seeing people be kind to others. If anyone was insensitive and rude it was the person who PM'd you!!!!!!!!!! And PLEASE do not leave. I thoroughly enjoy your posts and..............you need to be here with all of us other crazy YT people. |
Steve, I thought your post showed a lot of kindness and care. Sounds like the "problem" had far more to do with the one who sent you the PM, and their projection onto others. My opinion is that we all have to do what we think is right...and then what others may think is of little importance. You seem like a wonderful, generous, and kind-hearted person to me, FWIW. :) I am also so very sorry about Carlo. He was such fun to read about, and your devotion to him was inspirational and heart warming. My thoughts are with you. |
I don't know why people go out of their way to be rude or mean to others. If they didn't agree with what you said they could have followed the rule of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". I felt your posting was done with love and concern, which is something we all could use a little more of in this world. |
I'm against the majority on this one. IMO, I don't believe anyone should share anyone else's personal business. The choice to share or not should be up to the person themselves. I had a family member taken suddenly ill last year and a best friend of mine chose to share that information on FB (asking to keep in thoughts/prayers, etc.) As soon as I was made aware of it, I asked the friend to delete it, as the family member involved is a very private person and would not have taken kindly to having that information shared. Let the people directly involved decide what personal information they chose to share, or not share. |

The only person that would have the right to get upset would be Lisette. I don't see her getting upset about this. |

Steve, you did a nice thing sharing here so that we could all post our condolences to Lissette. Old, lol. Much wiser too. :) |
I hope you never leave because of something like this. There are going to be know it all type of people that take things that are none of their business and make it there business and you just have to ignore them and not take what they say to heart. Posting that information was a very caring thing for you to do |
Your heart is in the right place. That is all that really matters. (((hugs))) |
I don't think you are rude or old!!!! Alot of people do not have FB and you were just letting Lisette's YT family know what happened. I'm sure she appreciated the messages of sympathy that she received from YT. Don't let one ignorant person keep you away from YT. |
Please don't leave because of that idiotic PM, Steve. I think that you showed a great deal of compassion asking for condolences and well wishes for someone else while at the same time you were going through your own very difficult time. Just write the PM off as another tactic by the polite police to control not only how and what we say, but now evidently the topics on which we may post. [sarcasm] If any of them are reading this (and they probably aren't because they've all put me on "ignore", too) then could you please do us all a HUGE favor and give us a sanctioned list of approved topics and responses? It would make our lives sooo much easier. Pretty please with sugar on top :rolleyes: [/sarcasm] |
