    In my mind, it would be choosing to respond to other posts that have happened in this thread, like Drew mentioned in her post right above yours.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF Anyone? : I can understand how it may hurt some people's feelings and that's fine, so I agree with both sides. I do think conversations will pop up and it happens all the time no matter what setting your in.<strong> Everyone can either wait for the convo to end or keep the original topic going</strong>. See how others are still talking around Sak's poop story? Kinda like that.

    Or do what I do and incessantly demand to be filled in on whatever inside joke you missed.
  • I think Lauren was making a point about how "special" our texting each other is...seeing as it involved me as a nurse advising her as to when her bowel movements were clear enough for her to be ready for her colonoscopy this morning.

    I'm a little confused as to what this post is supposed to clear up for us. 

    Regardless of the subject matter, it was an inside... erm, joke (?)... that was brought up on the board.  Nobody is upset about it.

    Did Sak post a picture or something that I'm not seeing?  Because I'm kind of confused right now.

    Yeah, to an extent.  But we've had several similar conversations in the past:

    "I flame anyone who participates in FFF"

    or

    "Why don't you just address your flame in the thread where it happens?"

    etc.

    ...and the end result of all of them is the realization that we can't dictate how/what other posters post.  So I'm tired of flames in that context, I guess.

    I was never confused about that.  And that's sort of the point.  You two were the only ones in on that conversation, and nobody complained about it.  I get that it was brought up just to serve as an example of an inside joke, but that doesn't change the fact that it was an inside joke being discussed here on the board.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF Anyone? : Well, yeah. I think it would be kind of AWish, if every time I had a glass of wine with Lauren, I came into a post on here and <strong>made a point of talking about how Lauren and I were TOGETHER, because we're COOL enough to talk to/hang out with other people on the boards IRL</strong>.  I'm not saying, (not do I feel that I implied) that it's an intentional thing. Just pointing out that the repeated inside jokes/obvious references to things that happened away from this board have the potential to be hurtful to those that are not yet close enough to the group to have these kinds of interactions. Also, they may, in fact, discourage newer people from trying to become part of the group, since that kind of stuff makes it seem pretty tight knit and closed off. 
    Posted by jorja86[/QUOTE]

    <div>Jorja, I flame this. There is a huge difference between two people veering into a conversation about something that happened IRL and 'making a point to talk about it because they're COOL enough to hang out with other board members IRL.'</div><div>
    </div><div>Regs get together. Some because they just happen to be geographically close. Some because they love each other SO much that they would travel across the country. Some regs text but have never met. Some are in the FB chat. Some use Gchat. Occasionally the real world blurs with the online world. But what you're accusing some board members of doing is rubbing it in others faces. Just because you're taking it personally doesn't mean it was done in a hurtful manner.</div>

    <div>I'm not taking it personally at all, actually. I'm also not saying it is intentionally hurtful, but it doesn't matter if that was the intention or not, if the end result is still people feeling left out.

    You missed my point.  <em>I </em>wasn't saying you should address flames where they happen.  I was citing that as an example of a complaint that's been brought up before and is comparable to yours in that it's an attempt to dictate the content of others' posts, which, we've learned, is not possible.

    <div>Honestly, this would not bother me, if it happened occasionally.

    Tiger, this is so true.  When I started posting back in March of '09 (yeesh), I would have never thought that I would form real friendships with any of the other posters.
