Questions.....

[Reba]

I've never use the ignore list.

I must be a masochist.

Listening and respecting other people's point of views is really difficult for many people. Most people have the mentality of "it's my way or the highway." Sad.

1. If you post a thread, wanting people's opinions, advice --but don't like what you read? Why post in the first place?

2. "Not your business" seems to be a common saying on AD--if it's not our business, why are you volunteering your business to begin with?

3. When a poster posts--"the truth" on your thread--why the "hissy fit"?

4. When debating and utilizing the 'ignore list'--you're not really taking in consideration of a different point-of-view, now are you? ( I also have an ignore list just like everyone else....... and guess what? No one is on it. )

Any other questions that people can think of when using the AD boards???

1. Yes, I would give advice or my opinion IF the person is seeking for advice or an opinion. I must re-read carefully to make a good critical answer.

2. Stating phrases, "none of your business" and other such comments like I mentioned in #1 read the statement or question carefully , sometimes a member will just provide more information than what we really need to know not asking us for advice or an opinion perhaps just wants to add that piece of information for whatever reason.

3. Maybe, some folks don't look deep into a situation. They just automatically do things without realization or giving it much thought. I don't know everyone is different when it comes to making choices and decisions for their life. They will learn a valuable lesson on their own without anyone telling them what to do. Life experiences I guess.


4. So, far no one is in my ignore list.

Decided to delete this post. As it might offend some people. I hope they haven't read it yet.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list either. Although if other people feel they can't conduct a conversation without putting someone on ignore, then I'm not opposed to it.

People don't put others on their ignore list for the reason you give. Several posters disagree with my views. Only 3 of them are on my ignore list. This is NOT because they disagree with me. I only put people on my ignore list because I feel personally attacked by them. I think that is what the ignore list is there for.

My reasons too..I love to read everyone's opinions and when someone attacks me, I can ignore it but after getting attacked by certain people over a long period of time can get seriously annoying so I am glad for the ignore list.

I do not understand either.

If a person do not want us to ask questions. Then they have no business posting a thread about their personal lives in the first place. Especially when the question was not out of context or off topic. Instead of saying non of your business or having their threads locked. They could have simply replied and said I rather not answer that specific question.

I have no problem with respecting some one privacy when asked to in certain threads. But when it is open for discussions I will ask questions to make sure I understand what is going on. Or out of concern.

I do not have anyone on my Ignore list either. I like to see what people have to say! Even if it is not something I agree on.

1. It can be interesting to post Thread to hear what other said what you don't like or agree. You can think of interesting term that someone is trying to hammer square block into round hole. One would want to start a "fight" or "argument" when posting a Thread. Read twice and think carefully before post. Some tend to jump and realized "oops!!" and go back and made a correction before the "edit" button disappears in 30 min. Use common sense! Sometime you may want to ask Moderator to shred your Thread before you'll get burned.

2. "None of Business" is typical response when one do not want to talk about it. I respect their privacy and don't bother with them if they don't respond any more by leaving it high and dry or 'locked' their thread.

3. "Hissy fit" is typical attitude of those who want to express their blameful feeling about person or things. To me it's a way for person to get an attention to their problem. If I see it as a "hissy fit", I would No one would want to read "hissy fit" thread.

4. I have no "ignore list". I just read it whatever it interest me.

#2 is the MOST annoying one for me.....if someone puts personal information about themselves on AD, DUH! That person is making it everyone else's business...I just think it is stupid of them to say that BS after sharing personal information for the world to see. :roll:


That's my honest feeling here and if people dont like it, then dont do it!


Why are people so sensitive? There is more to life than AD. Sure, some people have said things to me that I dont like and some things have stung but I dont dwell over it nor make a hissy fit about it.

Sure, I have come hard on some people and I try apologize. That one to AlleyCat...sorry, girl for coming hard on u. I think u deserved an apology.


Now, my big question is....why the threatening or harrassing PMs against a member whose POV u dont like? I have had some PMs like that sent to me...if u are upset about something, say that u are upset about this POV or comment but dont call me nasty names or threaten me. It doesnt solve anything. I laugh at those, FYI.

Shel, you don't need to apologize. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I admit some days I get a little "heated" or sarcastic about my opinions. And we take things personally or in different ways. I hold no grudge against you, Shel. Never have.
