if asked the right way

Feel, See, Hear. People use each of those systems to prejudge, encode life experience and make decisions. The words they use expose which system they prefer for each process. Difficulties come from trying to convince someone who uses feelings to make decisions to get what you are 'saying' or 'see' what you mean..they are regardless going to 'feel' differently about it. You need to mirror them, to get through.
 
Take a look at Sabrina's OP post. It's all kinesthetic and visual. No auditory references expressed. She isn't 'going to be told', 'don't you see'...you need to 'show' her what you 'know', so she then can be 'satisfied'. :lol:

Well, I haven't got one idea what those meant.
I don't reply to SabrinaO because she acts in my eyes like an incredibly spoiled teenager who wants what she wants when she wants it - and in the right flavor - and I've had my own teen-agers to cope with, I don't need any more.

What also does bother me about these extended threads is that people, either to reduce tension or to attract attention to themselves, derail it with lots of other stuff and so any true and real statements get swallowed up in the crap and Sabrina gets to ignore them.

The best way to deal with someone like Sabrina is just not to feed into the way she behaves, she loves this attention, the longer the thread the more her ego swells.

She's a spoiled child, whatever her age.
Just ignore her and she'll eventually smarten up and either behave or go away.
 
Argh... it's things like this that made me leave the forum in the first place many months ago.

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?

Someone (who was otherwise very helpful!) made a comment to me today that came across as unnecessarily snarky. I suppose it happens on all forums, but I think we all need to be mindful of how our written words may come across. What may sound light-hearted in our own minds may come across as rude to others.
 
Not sure if this will help, but what I do when someone swings their little peepee around desperately trying to show everyone how witty and cutting they are is either ignore them or give them a quick thank you and move on. 99% of the critiques I get tend to be helpful in some way, even the odd one that's a bit cranky for my liking. The 1% who are card carrying peepee swingers aren't really commenting for me anyway, but for themselves. No doubt they return to the post time and again to re-read their cracking witticisms. ;)
 
Ugh. If you really HAVE start a whine thread at least have the decency to do it in off-topic or somewhere else that won't distract people from actual threads about, oh I dunno, PHOTOGRAPHY.

After reading this I am once again bored with this forum and will go post useful C&C on a different forum with less attention whores and more people who just wanna learn.

At the same time, we need to be mindful of how we *read* written words. What may sound harsh and rude in our own minds, may actually appear to be legitimate, helpful to everyone else as intended by the writer who was mis-interpreted....

There are two sides to every coin. :sexywink:

Forums are tricky because everything is written, therefore no inflection is heard, so words written *and* read can be misinterpreted by *both* sides.
 
This is all this place has become.

A bïtchfëst.

Blah blah blah, rude people, blah blah blah.

Some people are stupid, but we aren't allowed to say so, are we?

Would it be fair, as we move forward, that every time someone points out that someone is rude, that we also point out who is stupid?

Sabrina, this has been discussed in several threads over the past week. You are a troll. You are a drama queen.

Consider yourself fed.

I know right? So you too agree with me? :sexywink:
Cant say i do, cant say i dont. The reason you posted (the drama) gets tiresome. But so do people who take an internet forum so seriously that they feel obligated to make a thread about how they are treated. Its part of the issue.Know that if people are trolling your thread (whether true or not) your reaction fuels them. Its a forum. Its TPF. If you get in a hissy about comments you dont like, either ignore or leave. Dont fuel the drama.
 
To those complaining about snarky comments and being mindful...its wishful thinking. Either grow a thicker skin or move on. Spend more time shooting than being all prissy. SheeshThere are some great people here. Find them, learn from them, ignore the others
