i am here to try again. I am sorry I got in the middle of a so called family argument.

I know better, but yesterday was a bad day for me.

I am here to say I would be happy to see this board revitalized with new posters and discussions.. I am ready to try. How about the rest of you?

I try every day, MaryAnne.
But
I am met with a lot of hatred.
It's hard to be pleasant in the face of that so I have walked away to a large extent. I do not have to put myself out here for abuse.
 
Hi MaryAnne. Ignore the downers. Embrace the like minded. Go forth and..er..uh..post.

Hey, and bring a friend next time... :)

I am hoping that the instruction coming from you, SW is deletion of whole posts or whole threads is not the first resort. The less hands on a post the better.

Good Morning, MaryAnne :)

Really glad you're back, again and again...lol :p

Just think of this place as a test. :D
I think you get my drift.
 
Well thanks very much. I appreciate the kind words but also know I make plenty of mistakes,as you all know.

I really enjoy the debates,but dislike personal attacks and think they should be stopped. I really am happy to see the great MODS and know they work together.

With all my faults I have yet to be banned :) I am sure I deserved it at times.

Now,enough of the Pollyanna crap. I have invited some to come back to their home base.

Carry on.

Try not to take it personal, Jen. Pity them. People who do such a thing are venting frustration from their sad lives.

Think about it, how can a happy person hate? They can't. Hate is a very deep, dark emotion that wells up from people due to inner turmoil and it spills out of them like a pot boiling over. Not much to be done for them across a keyboard, but you should never, ever take it personal, @Jen.

Same for you @MaryAnne and everyone else.

Agreed. I'm still becoming accustomed to this forum's software. It's not always easy to see new posts without going individually through each section.

The only reason I found this thread was because I had already gone through the main section and was randomly looking around.

What's A&F, @bdtex?

Tutorial, Max.
Most of this stuff you probably know but maybe there'll be something that can help:

  • You can adjust your settings so that you will be "alerted" to certain posts (depending on your settings). Your alerts drop down if you hold the cursor over the "alert" word in the upper right. If you click on that alert you'll be taken directly to the post that you were alerted to.
  • At the top of the screen in the second bar down you will find the tabs "recent posts" and "new posts". I don't know why we have both since they are almost the same, but "recent posts" will show your recent posts in the list while "new posts" will not.
Setting up your alerts is the most helpful way to go to recent posts that you want to see. You can set it up broadly or you can narrow it down. It's self explanatory as you go through.
Be sure to click on both "preferences" and "alert preferences" when you do that. You can find those options when you scroll over your name at the top right of the page. You don't need to click on your name. The list will drop down.

If you are posting from a phone it's not the same. I avoid using my phone because it's maddening.

I do not take things very personally Max. And when I make a mistake I admit it,as I did with you.and you can thank that very nice Addy. She is one great poster.

I am hoping we can bring back many of our good posters. Lukey came back. We argue Politics but that is all. I like him.been on a couple of boards together:)

Question for the oldsters. What ever happened to Jack Dallas? Any one know?

Jack Dallas still posts here. Not often but he's still here.
I am glad you and Addy are here even if I rarely agree with you. It's not easy to post respectfully to those we disagree with in a huge and emotionally-packed way based on our personal experiences, but I believe it can be done.

We do have some good posters here: Arkady, MrMike, Barbella, LeilaniMP, Caroljo, Charcat, MrFriscus, justoffal, oicu812, MaxR, Lukey, and more from both sides are capable of posting some deep and substantial posts. Sure, these same posters sometimes post zingers.............. but if not for those, this forum would die very quickly.

I wish those posters who only post to agitate and antagonize and attack would step up and expand their posting spectrum.
