Ok, let me explain...

[e.rose]

I know I only joined a few days ago but one of the first posts I asked was how were people b/c I've been apart of other forums that had some bad mean seeds and I left and I already ask myself in my few days I've been apart of this one that are bad mean seeds apart of every forum? A lot of the threads I've read have some type of "snarky" comment in it.

I was just looking for a nice place to get to know some folks and learn which I assume is why a lot of people are here. Sad aint it?

The WORLD is full of bad seeds and you think there's a place on the interwebs completely free of sarcasm and snark? ::raises eyebrow::

You need a tougher skin if you find yourself continually "having" to leave forums due to "bad seeds".

There are TONS of helpful people here, and if you're already feeling like you've been beaten down, then I'm guess you're just put off by C&C. I dunno. I'm just guessing, I don't think I've ever read one of your threads, so I don't know what kinds of things your posting... but that seems to be the trends amongst new people to the forum. The ones that are put off within a couple of days just got honest advice, answers, and C&C that they just didn't like and therefore labeled "rude". :er:

You are very right in what you said and in all honesty I had only been apart of one other forum. An Aussie Cattle Dog Forum that a few "snarky" people scared off all the newbies and it was constant fighting so I just left. I've only posted a few threads. I think 3 lol. 2 C/C which doesn't bother me. I know I'm new I know I have a lot of room to grow. As I said in one "I am one determine S O B!I will learn and get better" I can def see there are a lot of people I can learn from.

Yeah I'm part of a married life forum I got bored of because of the snark and same "OMG MY PERIOD IS 2 HOURS LATE AM I PREGNANT?!" AND "MY HUSBAND LEFT HIS RING ON THE DRAWER!!! IS HE CHEATING ON ME?!" posts.

But I took a hiatus from THAT forum, not because of the snark on the FORUM, but because I had full, grown-a$$ women with children stalking me on the internet and harassing me in places *outside* of that forum.

I'd post an entry on my personal blog and one of them from Canada posted "I can think of a 7 letter word to describe this whole blog... boredom". I make the point to say that she was from Canada because she was the only one of the group of harassers that was FROM Canada... which is how I knew who it was and while she posted anonymously the IP address lead me straight to Nova Scotia, where she's from. She's not too bright apparently. I also informed her that I didn't give a *sh*t* she found my blog boring... I wasn't writing it for her... or anyone else for that matter, haha... but she chose to follow me there, and other online "social" places I had connected together to try and harass me. I'd have more respect for her if she wasn't a p*ssy about it, but she did it anonymously every time, not realizing, again, that she was leaving tell-tale signs as to who it was. :roll:

There was about 5 or 6 of them that were doing sh*t like that, so I left for a while until it cooled off.

But I've *never* had that happen here. I don't think I've ever *witnessed* anyone doing anything like that here... so... do not worry. :sillysmi:

Besides... there's testosterone here... balances out the crazy estrogen-fed snark attacks. :lmao:

I don't understand the need to explain yourself on this... everyone is different and everyone has a different approach of explaining things.

For example - my father is good at pretty much anything and he has very strong opinions about any subject, but he sucks at explaining. Literally he always starts with how the matchstick was invented to get to how CPU chips are made... does he mean anything bad through his explanations? no, its just his way of explaining... to him it makes sense to give the history and bore the person to death, but they understand how and why things are the way they are.

Also dont forget how boring this world would be if everyone was the same in every single aspect

When you go into a bakery, and ask for a free cake, and they give you a free cake, do you complain because it's not your favorite chocolate cake?

I had 3 major internet stalkers from that forum, and one in particular ... not even THAT one... was totally BSC. She' STILL stuck on me... how I "won't have control over her anymore" :roll:

We used to be "friends", and I said something she disagreed with and then all of a sudden, I was labeled a selfish, manipulative, b*tchy, evil, c**t. Or SOMETHING to that affect. That was over 9 months ago and she still writes blog posts about me and how I "WILL NOT HAVE POWER OVER ME ANY MORE!" I haven't SPOKEN to her for 9 months... but apparently I affected her so much that she's been grappling with me mentally every since then. :shock:

Crazy.

People.



And that's exactly what caused the craziness... I used to be "internet popular" over there, haha. I never asked for it... I don't know how the f**k it happened... it got to the point where people were making fan pages for me on FB and I had to ask them to take it down because I thought that was just a *step* over the line and a bit too weird for even *me* to handle. But I guess my sarcastic sense of humor made *A LOT* of the girls laugh and I was well loved on the wedding forum. When we "graduated" to the married life sister forum, things started splitting... women started getting pregnant... hormones started flying... I'm SUUUUUUUUUPER BNOTB... so the ones having babies started hating me and no longer appreciated the same humor they thought was hilarious before... The BSC one I described above, got pregnant and somehow got it in her head that I would hate her because of it? I dunno...

But half the girls loved me and half of them hated me... and then the stalkers started coming out.

And then I decided that internet pregnant ladies are possessed and crazy and it was best to back out quietly while they weren't looking because they were too busy feeding on someone else.

So I take shelter in the nice balance of testosterone and estrogen... because straight up estrogen is a death wish.

Ps. Thanks for the compliment, haha. Since I made you laugh, hopefully if you see me comment later, you'll realize that most of the "sarcastic" things I say aren't meant in malice... I just have a twisted sense of humor.

Attention hungry is how you strike me. Defensive too. But hey, I'm just a bystander here

No. You commented. NOW YOU'RE INVOLVED! :greendev:

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Aww. How cute. A "victim" thread. :roll:

 

[Robin Usagani]

Stop talking about me erose!

 

[e.rose]

Stop talking about me erose!

STOP STALKING ME THEN! JEEZ!

 

[MattK0138]

If I could get this much attention in a cc. Good bad rude ignorant or otherwise I would be a pro already. Lol

OK, let me explain... o sabrina.

When every darn thread you start turns into a 4 to 10 pagers within a couple hours, there is a problem with YOU! Even if there is a problem with some others, you are not free of blame. So, if you really want this to change, start by looking at yourself. OK?


Now, tbh, I find gsgary as obnoxious as you seem to. But for a very different reason. You have a problem with what he says and I have a problem with what he doesn't say. I find a lot of his posts useless (and therefore obnoxious) because he doesn't say enough. Yeeeees! I get most of his points because I have enough photo experience but, because I once taught photography, I also get that newbies will not get it.

So, yes, I can find him obnoxious. But then I can be the same at times because some things are so obvious to me that I don't think I have to explain any further. Until, that is, I remember when I was teaching.

So anyways get over it or get a move on. Forums can be rough and not everyone is made to be on them.

By the way, why don't you spend some time wondering why e.rose's threads turn into love riots and yours turn into hate fests?

I'll admit that I share this view as well, though I'll say that Gary does often open up to more detail if asked the right way - he just needs to be asked; sadly many newer people don't realise this fact and thus can quickly discount his advice and points. I've seen it before with several members who are capable and helpful, but who have a manner which quickly rubs others up the wrong way when they don't know them that little bit better.

It says why on the bottom of the forum page. Cause Schwetty and I are whores. Duh.
