[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : Okay, just to clarify.  This is the comment I was responding to when I said I disagree with that characterization of the board.   As far as I don't find this to be the most friendly or cohesive of the boards I've been on.  I'm not saying that I think the tone or atmosphere should be different.  I actually find the weird dynamics on this board pretty interesting. 
Posted by nickandmerritt[/QUOTE]

Thats completely understandable. I feel more connected to this board as a result of the G2G's that I've attended and the overall positive response and help with any WR/NWR question that I've had. It is more than fine to agree to disagree; with that being my personal feel for things, everyone else is entitled to their own.
I digress.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions... YES. 

My favorite line on that regard "I can appreciate your message, but let's work on the delivery."

I tell my employees that all the time!

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : This is perfect!!! I sadly had too many cases to keep up with this morning, but so I don't seem like I'm hiding N&M I am the one who pointed out to Brianna about the stuff you wrote on our Month Board. No one was trolling all your posts. I just didn't post it. Funny thing has to be you act quite different on our month board then you do here. I liked you on the month board. You are positive and constructive. Plus, I love your shoes. Here I think you really just did read the board wrong as you said. If you noticed a lot of people disagreed with Julie or better didn't come to the same conclusion she did. It was the way people said it that made the difference. they didn't say anything about Julie's character or person for having the opinion she did. They just gave opinions on what could have caused the mother's actions. This is where things got out of hand. Tiffany is right... You have to take the board and the people on it for who they are. We get frustrated with eachother, we vent, we saying things we probably shouldn't, but it's done. We have the GREAT advantage of living close enough to actually meet the wonderful people we talk to on an everyday basis. I hope you get to see how great these girls can really be.
Posted by DFWIndian[/QUOTE]

Hey, DFW.  Ha, no worries.  I actually wondered if it was you, since you're active on both boards.  But I think you're a nice lady, and I'm not upset at all about it.

And I totally agree that there are a lot of great girls on here!  I'm sorry that you don't like me on this board.  What can I say?  I have strong opinions and when people's positions upset me I can be abrasive.  So I'll try to keep that in mind when commenting.

When did it become polite phone etiquette to skip an introduction of who you are before you fast-forward directly to what you NEED from me? Albeit, I do speak with rude creditors all day but if you do not inroduce yourself, I will ask you what your name is and where you are calling from. It is kinda like Pretty Woman when she goes back to the hoity toity store and asks if they work on commission. BIG mistake. If your results depend on what I can make happen for you, be nice--it'll get you further than you think.

TexanTreasure08

Whoa 4 pages before 11 AM?

I just want to say, I LOVE our "old married hags!" We would be lost without them! They know answers to all the questions about the venues that I was never interested in, like hotels and country clubs. I actually feel kind of useless sometimes because of how much little WR info I know. And I'm not married yet and I still get tired of the same questions over and over, that is not exclusive to married ladies. If you don't like them, then you can leave. Seriously.

Also, when you have that tone when replying to controversial topics, it really turns some people against your point of view. You & me probably think alike politically, but it's hard to get our side heard when you piss everyone off. It also doesn't win anyone over when you don't make it a point to get to know everyone first before you pick a fight. We're pretty tight knit here.

YES! I'm pretty much agreeing with you all day, it seems.  You catch more flies with honey.  :)

What do you do again?

lesalyric

The DFW board is NOT your personal Facebook feed. If you want to let us know about you being sick or scratching your nose - feel free to do so in one of the daily posts. We do not need a whole new post about it.

Think about it this way:
Would I be interested in this if someone else posted it? Yes - Post! No - Don't!

AW about cool wedding things all you want, those posts are completely excluded from this gripe.

[QUOTE]I think I know what is happening here... let me try to put it into words propertly.  (This is nice, I promise) We are all kind of "friends" here.  Some of us have met, some of us haven't...but in day to day discussions we get a good feel for everyone and how they act.  So, just as an example, when someone says something like Julie did yesterday... or if I spout off something politically right winged... most of the ladies know.. "Oh, that's just Julie being Julie.. or Tiffany being Tiffany.   It's not offensive.  Some people probably roll their eyes, some agree, some disagree.  It's whatever. If you want to hang out and get to know us, I think you would probably like us... and vice versa. That's all I've got.

Because I'm still trying to catch up and don't remember where this post was to quote it...

This is a public forum and I understand that, but every public forum has a vibe.  You wouldn't go onto a public Vegan forum and tell all of them they should really consider animal products and then berate them for choosing to be Vegan.  And THEN, when they start getting defensive and have to explain their Vegan-ism (if that's a word) you go and say that they are unhelpful etc... etc... You are always welcome to return to your Carnivore Forum. 

Like a pp said.  It is the internet.  A public place.  Have you checked it out lately?

btw... nothing against Vegans or meat lovers...

You just said that Julie took your words and twisted them on you, so please don't do that to me.

bellagrace

Wow. I just had time to get on here this morning, but it has been lively. I know it is flame free friday, but it does seem a little to much. I agree with both sides, but my flame is when people form a band wagon. I know everyone wants to make a point, but when everyone is posting against one person it seems a bit much. When I first got on this board fff was about people's wedding and not to much about other people on the board. I would just say if I was new to the board this would definitly freak me out.

Brianna,
I tell my kids all the time that they need to learn how to talk to their parents, teachers and administrators better.  I have a student that yelled at me in front of the entire class twice because I wouldn't accept late work from him after the deadline.  I tell them that, if they're trying to get something out of someone, then they should reconsider the direct, agressive approach.  Many of them still don't get it.
