I'll see you when you get back, Rob! Ooh, have a sweet vaykay, Wrey! I'm back. Sort of...I'm about ready to pass out from exhaustion...but I'm home.
I think I need to take a break from this site. Its pissing me off how one member gets to be as condescending as she wants and anyone who dares question her or point out that she said something it a way that was rude gets an official warning. Why bother reporting her when she is rude? Nobody who she'll listen to will tell her.
I'm sorry that this is happening rei Take your time and come back when you want I'll miss you while youre gone
I don't know what happened or who this person is, but I'm sorry that it happened to you. I hope that in the future you'll come back and that this person hasn't completely ruined the site for you.
Unfortunate and irritating. I hope I am not one of these people who isn't saying anything, even though I don't believe I am. Otherwise just give me a slap on the back of the head and I'll wake up.
Rei, I'm sorry that you feel this way. I hope you change your mind and decide to stick around as the forum wouldn't be the same without you here. Big hugs to you
Rei, that's what ignore is for. I have one person on ignore, because they made me mad all the time by there inconsiderate attitude. Now I just don't see their posts. I might know who you are talking about though, and yes, a lot of people are mad about it. Have a nice break. Come back soon.
At the risk of having the community say, "See! That's exactly what I am talking about," please let me warn against indirect or aside comments concerning other members in the forum. I do not like to play the heavy. I am sure most of you know this. When people are infracted or spoken to concerning forum behavior, we (the mods) do not publicize this. Often, the only evidence that is seen by the rest of the forum concerning action taken is when a member's transgression is severe enough to require a temporary or permanent banning. Much (and I mean much) other communication goes on and the privacy of that communication is respected even when said communication is of a punitive nature.
Rei, I understand your frustration and have decided to join you in leaving the site. To my friends here...I have enjoyed many friendships that I will miss. I deeply respect your opinions, even when we hold opposing views, and I have certainly enjoyed technical discussions about writing. Good luck to all of you. I sincerely wish everyone success in building writing careers and I will always be available by email if anyone has any questions for me. Dean Sault deansault@att.net sault.dean@comcast.net Sherie/Torana - I'd love to hear from time to time about little Tobin's growth. That picture of him smiling resonates with me in ways you can't imagine. Goodbye.
I'm Back! I haven't visited awhile, holiday, kids and hubby's job search in the way, but I am hoping to get back on track with my reading and learning. Hope everbody's been doing well and growing with your writing, can't wait to read some of the new stuff. Linda
