ADMIN - Please

[red1030]

Amen....Spring...I love you too...You are beyond exceptual. You are an asset as a person in our family. Bad Boy and Jayne...just let it go like Spring said. We can continue this with Admins support as a happy family who will be respectful to everyone, and who will hold everyone accountable to the term, respect begats respect. If a person wants or needs respect here all that is required is respect in return. We must be the first to give respect. Isn't that how we teach our children, do they not learn more by example. I don't believe that ends as children.

Red, Spring, Jayne, Admin, Wink, and who ever replied here.

Red, to your Reply here minutes ago. I have no problem in many cases to say let it go. In fact I have said that myself to many before.

But, when a person, I trust, and Respect so much, took my Words, and the Re-worded them, to make me lQQk, like I'm calling people here (Fools) or (Nuts) is out of content in my book of personel feelings.

So, I do go on the Defense, my defense. I feel I'm allowed to dis-agree with what 1171 said and done to me. Like I said, I would of never expected that from someone I always have shown my most respect too.

Now, if anyone thinks I'm wrong. So be it. But then start your reply with you dis-agree. No feelings then hurt is there?

Hi Bad Boy...I don't disagree with you. You are right in what you are saying. What I am saying is remove the emotion about being hurt by someone who you respected. Ask your self Bad Boy what is best for this forum (and don't you dare remove the "godfather" from your avatar and name)? I believe it is best for us to continue as we have been with on and off tropics. Continue to respect each other as more than an IW who needs information but also as people with real life feelings and emotions who knows that this forum or family will give them support. I understand what you are saying about Admin supporting 1171 and I think I also understand where Admin is coming from. More than anything Admin cannot allow him or herself to be concerned with the needs of one, but he must be concerned with the needs of the forum. This is similar to an employer who must take care of the business and the needs of many versus the needs of one. I am not saying that Admin doesn't care for us, I believe he or she does or they would not provide this forum of communication for all of us. For that I am eternally grateful. So where does 1171 come into this. You know, I have watched this board and I know that 1171 is very knowledgable and meets those needs most adquately, he doesn't, however, enter in to the family like enviroment. This is his or her choice not ours. This being the case, are we not asking too much of 1171. I don't believe that harsh tones or sarcasm is what he is about, but I do believe that is what we see on this forum from him. Why not take what he has to offer, and the rest of it, just ignore for the good of the support group that has developed here. Don't expect more from people than what they are able to give. If you do, you will always be disappointed which is where you are now. Everyone sees what happened. Everyone saw what happed to Jayne. Everyone knows that some presonalities are different than others, and so what. Who is actually loosing here? Is it you Bad Boy? I don't believe so. You are well respected on this board. I want more than anything to earn your respect. I don't know you face to face, but I have come to have a lot of respect for you. You are the Godfather here, and I believe that Jayne is the Godmother here. She is our beautiful piglet that is full of sun shine and joy. She has her moments when enough is enough, but even then she still shines. Look at Monster. Could we ask for a better person than her in our mist. I wish I could be half the person she is. What about Wink? I don 't know him well, except to disagree with him once, even so, I have a lot of respect for him and his willingness to defend one of us. Then there is Tuffy. What a wonderful person, with so much love and support and so funny sometimes I would never have guessed her age. She will always be that fiesty red hair girl that is in her avatar to me. The list goes on and on. There is Spring. She is new as am I. She writes from her heart and has said many times how this group of people have helped her so much throughout her ordeal. What about Pooh, and Sithie, and so many more, they are exceptally people. I have never heard one of them be harsh or uncaring about anything. This forum is more important than a person who hurt your feelings. It is more important than to give this person any more time than we already have. It is time to move on. You, me, Admin, are not going to br able change people. People are who they are, and we as a group should continue to respect them for what they give and ignore what they lack. The group with form without anyone who doesn't want to play as we are playing. I don't want to say that everyone is not welcome, because that they are. But I do want to say, to help all, ignore ignorance, and continue on the path that has been established here.

Bad Boy, I feel the post you made to ADMIN. was done tastefully and with respect, and your question to them was valid. And I also agree that 1171 had no right to re-arrange your words to their choosing to make it sound totally different, and NO you showed absolutely no signs of begging!! I almost started a thread the other day to ask 1171 if there was anything we could do to help them, the replies from 1171 have been very harsh and sarcastic lately. But I didn't, because I didn't feel it was my place to ask to be involved in someones problems if they aren't posting and explaining their problem, so I didn't start the thread. Bad Boy, I can see your point to remove all of these posts about faked deaths and my opinion would be to leave them on. Again just my opinion but if a newcomer looks through these posts before signing on it would be good for them to see the people they can trust, and the people they can't. I wish we could just move on, 1171 owes you at least an explanation of why they chose to do what they did to you, and then we all need to throw this behind us and move on!! Again just my opinion, and have a Great Day!!

Sorry all I think Bad Boy is right. I would not appreciate anyone taking my words and twisting them around to insult others. I don't think I could lay silently by while someone bashes me either. Respect begats respect - exactly but 1171 forgot to "respect" someone that highly respects him/her and just because someone has been here the longest doesn't give them special privileges to show such disrespect for another. Of course this is just my opinion.

There is something I would like to add to this though - sure seems like our forum here is turning into a "soap opera" - tune in tomorrow to see what's next. Not exactly thrilled about that either.

Ok, you all got my attention, but I had thought, I said enough anyways. I said what I had to say, do to anger. I'm ready to move on. And whatever Admin does, he does. Leave the stuff up, take it down, it' doesn't matter anymore. All I tried to do, was address a simple question to Admin. It could of been answered with a simple (yes) or (no) or in time (maybe). I thought it was very simple. But now this Thread will most likely hit over the 300 mark, of Views or Hits, whatever we wish to call it. A simple question gets so much advertisement. I thank each one the made a reply to this Thread.

End of Story

Bad Boy Bad Boy Wrote:What I don't understand, is everytime (1171) makes a statement to an issue and re-words the person Thread started, ADMIN, comes to (1171)'s aide. But if it were me that had done what 1171 just done here by re-wording my Thread, and acuse me of calling people here (Fools) or (Nuts) was totally un-called for. And Admin, should have been at my aide, not (1171)'s aide. That is totally un-called for on 1171's part. Then to say Jaynes question wasn't or may not of been an honest question after all. Is un-called for. (What Gives this person the right to perform these acts). Yes, I said, let 1171 start their own Thread, I will aide the thread, but I will with respect.

All I done, was start a Thread addressed to ADMIN, not 1171, and said Please, Think, and Begging. All words of proper respect, for a person I truely respect.

Object to my Post, Be Objective, Agree to, or Agree to Dis-Agree to it. But please use the same Respect, that others Pass on to you. I don't think I ask for a whole heck of alot from anyone. I love to try and help people if I can. If a little laugh is put in ones life once in a while, it may be needed. Heck, Comp Bob even has his daily laugh thing going on to...... Also, lets not forget, how I started a simple Thread has now had so many Hits, hummmm (Views)... All over a simple question, is all.

Badboy, my response in this thread was a direct answer to your question. I did not mention 1171. It had nothing to do with 1171. I did not aid anyone. I answered your question.

The answer is:
1) We cannot pick and choose the off topic posts we wish to keep. We have them or we don't. Period.
2) We may be spending too much time on off topic posts and leaving people in need of help in the backwaters.

Go back and re-read it.

good luck and the porch light will always be on if you wanna come back
