Open Letter
I was thrown by the battle that was waged earlier today. I can’t comment on who might be right or wrong. Have no history to work from. Don’t want one. No offense but I really don’t want any association with either side. Bickering does not become you, this site, or this day of all days.
Perhaps it is not my place to make my comments on this matter. After all, who the hell am I? Nobody, yet everyone. You all told me to post whatever was in my heart. I read the rules Rob laid out pertaining posting etiquette. I have tried to stay within the boudaries, but wonder if those boundaries exist only for those of us who haven’t yet become full fledged members. If so I am not sure whether I truly want to join or not.
I have not purchased a membership. I am no sure that I can afford to. To say money is tight for me is the mother of all understatments. Was perfectly happy just to be able to read your blogs and put my two cents worth in when the mood struck. I love the way it was. And would love for it to continue. However, if I write too often, or write something someone doesn’t like, will I be castigated as well?

Jackie…everyone has a right to an opinion. We dont have to agree or disagree with it but we do sometimes voice our thoughts as well. However there are some here who will post just to antagonize. If its serious we ask the Admin to investigate and remove if need be. Generally though its just another way of discussion.

I don’t expect everone to agree with me, nor do I cringe from criticism. Hell, I’ve been disagreeing with and criticizing myself for close to 60 years! But what I read earlier did not resemble a friendly spat, tiff among family members, or constructive in any way.
I would have to agree with you on that jackie
Hello, this is my first time posting to this site. And I was invited by Rob to activate my profile etc. Perhaps it is best to not respond to negative comments or statements that could be considered inflamatory in nature. That way the person is not given attention for inappropriate postings. If there is a guideline for what is approved or not I didn’t see it when I was signing up. It should be part of the registration process like the Agreement box you see sometimes. Otherwise apply filters and notify the person that the comment was not in keeping with the tone or intent of the site. Mainly I would think opinions should be considered as fair as long as they are not directed towards an individual or contain vulgarity and obscenity. Some people are not aware that their language is offensive. Anybody agree?
Crayola…welcome back. There is a Terms and Conditions down on bottom of page which give most information.
