Newbie Observation

Rosie109 · May 2011

I have always wanted to get into a sticky situation and handle it with a roundhouse kick right in the kisser. I would never EVER be able to actually pull that off gracefully though.

At least come up with something more original than "delete" to replace your original text.

Carla1019 · May 2011

Thank you AutuumFair - I think you said it perfectly and I agree.

I want to be corrected if I'm over reacting. And like today I deleted the OP because I was in the wrong and I have been corrected and now I know.

Moving along....

You realize you are still trying to tell us what to do, ey?

We'll move on when we're good and ready.

<div>Deleting posts is never a good idea, and just makes people think less of you as a poster. As everyone already pointed out, you've been quoted, so everyone can still see what you've said. You said you were wrong and realized it, so own it. </div>

waltzingmatilda13 · May 2011

You didn't need to delete the OP to let us know you were wrong. Just coming out and saying it works, too. Then we can all move along.

opalsky007 · May 2011

Well, let me correct you again:

As you've noticed this is a comment that gets made and debated on from time to time. If you'd left it intact, someone else with the same thought could have read it and understood the reaction such a post would get. Now someone would have to hunt through the thread to figure out what it was about. That's not going to happen.

So the odds are good that another post like this gets made in the next few weeks because the person didn't bother read your original post.

If you've learned from your mistakes, help others learn from your mistakes, and don't delete them.

Rosie109 · May 2011

Well then carla what should we talk about? Does Twilight work for you? How about Hunger Games?

DO YOU LIKE MARGARITAS?

I deleted the OP incase someone ONLY reads it and decides to not read the rest where I understand where everyone is coming from. Some people need a harsh dose of reality (including me).

I have no right to tell people what they should do / type. I'm not taking this seriously at all it's funny to me b/c I really thought I was being helpful.

jrkjpf · May 2011

I am assuming your post was prompted from MY recent vent. Lovely.
Anyways, its the luck of the draw, yes I fully expect a few i don't want to hear it responses, but if you have been stalking this board for a few weeks months whatever the time has been, you too should expect it. Are my feelings hurt by the responses of others? No. Do I take it personally? No. I was not looking for any help, it was more of a late night "if i don't get this off my mind im going to be up all night type thing".
I would step back and think about if you can really deal with full honest answers and criticism, if you can not, i would suggest signing up with the wedding wire instead. I am not in any way offended or angered about any of the responses.

I would love to be LC. She is on my top knottie list for sure. She is so cute and funny and yeah maybe a wee bit of a girl crush.

Carla1019 · May 2011

I'm new to online blogging / posting so I didn't realize deleting the OP was a no-no. Again I thought that was the right thing to do since it annoyed so many.

Posted by Carla1019[/QUOTE]

I don't understand this logic. If someone reads the OP and has honestly had that thought process before, chances are they'll read until their question is answered and move on. If they read it and have no interest in it, they'll move on.

Carla - C/P from a quote and then put it back if you're worried about it. It happens, yo. We'll call it a learning curve and a lesson learned?

ETA: I mean, I think that'd be weird, but at least you'd be owning up to what you said and not being a dirty dirty dirty DD'er.

<div>Which doesn't surprise me. I think they give that lesson on the same day as they give the "don't tell a group of people how to talk/act" lesson. </div>

Carla1019 · May 2011

OP - has been C&P back.

I own up to my mistake and I re-read my post carefully and see how it came off like I was telling you all what to do.

But I still stand by my original thought behind my post! If I'm wrong tell me, but I will fight back if someone attacks my character just because I said something politically incorrect.

OP, would you walk into a room full of people you don't know and tell them all they ain't acting right? Cause that's what you're doing. And it's obnoxious. (LC quote)

Ditto.

Carla1019 · May 2011

No I would not walk into a room, But if a lady VENTS and people tell her to stop being a "bad friend" or "person" than yes I will stick up for her. Especially when we ALL have had THOSE moments.

Some people use blunt honesty as an excuse to be just plain mean and rude! You have every right to be mean to make yourself feel better but don't get mad if someone says that's BS.

And yes, my 2 cents is that on an etiquette board I was surprised. Don't change who you are, don't even listen to me. But that is my opinion.

My opinion has not changed only the mannor I choose to express it.

Etiquette is being graceful in actions and words! I'm not etiquette and I thought this was the place to learn it. Maybe not.

emilyinchile · May 2011

I don't think "politically incorrect" means what you think it means. You keep referring to that term, and usually vents don't have to do with being PC or not.
