FFF/LFF

KnotIrene

This has been a difficult week for some Knotties with deaths and disappointments so I'd like to end this thread (don't freak, I'm not closing it) on a positive note so that people can relax and have a wonderful weekend.

I'm genuinely not trying to start anything, but I've seen a number of posts lately from "Knot ____" that are in this vein.  If anyone feels like trading gifs on this thread the whole weekend or discussing the "horse in the shower", what does it hurt?  It seems a little presumptous to suggest that Court or anyone else who has had a sad week will be the least bit affected by this thread.  Why not let it wind down naturally like every other thread?

Posted by CourtaniaLynn[/QUOTE]<div>
</div><div>You are just fine. I get anxious opening presents too. Have my entire life. The problem was that OAH thought that (as Pele stated) her preference = etiquette. Many others here agreed that it is okay to not want to open the presents, but instructing others to go against what is considered etiquette, on the E board, was not what we were here for. That is all!

Kinda want to flame tine differences because by the time.I wake up crazy threads are already like 12 pages long and by the time.im done reading I've missed just about all of the fun.....

wittykitty14

I scrolled through 8 pages of posts, and I don't think anyone mentioned mine!  This excites me!  I love Fridays!  

The OP deleted their initial post, but the rest is there.  So I FLAME the "Fair Warning to Newbies" post.  She said that everyone who responded to her previous thread was rude, and it wasn't true at all.   It made me SO mad.  I've been waiting to flame this all week!

FWIW, it's this kind of crap that drove all your old regulars away.  So if that's what you're going for, by all means, keep up the good work.

Irene - with a community this large there will not be a week that goes by where members are not dealing with death or disappointment.  This weekly thread is a way to blow off steam.  I am only sorry that I was slammed at work all day and did not get to partake.

[QUOTE]Knot Irene, I don't doubt your good intentions, you have really been great all week, but I do agree with what GLB said. There are lots of people here, someone will always be affected by an unhappy occurance. If those people are too sad for FFF they aren't obligated to read the thread. I don't want TK to be the wild west, but I don't want it to be a nanny state either.

You're right and that's a valid point.  It was probably more a reflection of what I was feeling.  Any suggestions you or anyone else have please feel free to pass them on.
