some members please think.

[odyssey]

why the heck do people have to post here putting each other down, saying they are not logical? do you get a kick out of putting words down that are spiteful? rude? mean? wrong? if you are an adult here have respect NOT all of us are below you many many many of us here are educated, professionals, and people in authority. not plain old country folk raised in a 1800's. I really try enjoying the posts and members here but give me a break- read the forum rules, read what can be considered offensive.

[MommyG3]

gotta love that BACK button :D

[odyssey]

mommyg3 I love the back button myself, and the ignore option here at BBS. but some members will continously in one thread go back to attack, or outrage others it is so sad. some post to just see the members get all fired up I think.

[odyssey]

chelle33 it is still around .... or they are still around.

[OX_Love_OX]

I've noticed this to...what is the point of it? I just try to leave those nasty threads alone. There are so many wonderful people here at BBS, I try to stick to positive posts. So far...so good.

[Princess4J]

HA ! BUT THEN NARROW-MINDED PEOPLE
DON'T THINK & THEY POST IN POSTIVE THREADS.

GEEZ, FOR ONCE, THINK BEFORE POSTING.
WONDER; WILL THIS COMMENT OFFEND SOMEONE ???

Someone give me a clue because I am lost! I haven't been here long, but I haven't seen many threads go bad. I think overall BBS has a good record for having so many members. I visit many boards each day and this is one of the two where I don't see constant bickering.

[Lora_1994]

are we talking about "my" thread from last night/this morning?

[Merryg]

Merryg is scratchin her head wonderin what she missed!! {{to all}}

[Princess4J]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THREAD ODYSSEY IS REFERING TO.

I AM REFERING TO ONE THAT SOMEONE
MADE A COMMENT THAT IS NARROW-MINDED.

[odyssey]

I am actually speaking of another thread. it was locked today still floating around. one member likes to come around and post come back with some replies or start a thread and attack (remember the possible banning of smoking in NYC thread?)

[Merryg]

Princess I may know what you are talking about! If so, let's just say I was raised with the stuff. Never liked it. My Mom and her family can live on the stuff!!! ;)

[sadie01]

I have been wanting to post on this topic my self..just never got around to it... I have noticed alot of things going awry(sp?) with posts etc..
I'm just tired of being ignored when you flat out ask a question to someone, and they skip over you like you were a wadded up piece of gum stuck to the side walk.... sigh...at least there are a few good bbsers left LOL LOL

[Princess4J]

{{{sadie}}} you're NOT ignored.
I saw the Panty thread ;)

MerryG, yep, thats it:rolleyes:

[Cowgirlie_in_Tennessee]

Since I am assuming you're not talking about MY thread, am I to assume I am not the Queen of Controversy anymore? :eek: :p :rolleyes: :D :( :eek: :rolleyes: :p ;) :D

P.S. I don't know what the other threads you're refering to are- but I do remember the tabacco thread. :rolleyes: :eek: ;)

Ohhhh,I know what you're talking about now. It was still here when I left last night. Wonder what I missed! ;):rolleyes:

[squirt]

I must have missed it too, maybe I should be thankful I did. Remember what goes up must come down. Sorry you were abused on bbs. Maybe you can ignore the person, unless I am that person, I sure hope not. I TRY to be thoughtful of other people's feelings. But we all have our bad days. You have a good one

[movie nut]

BBS & MCs are the two message boards/forums with the best mannered members, IMO. DoD is so-so, manners-wise. And as Emelle said, f.w. is a very rude board. But all sites have some bad apples, sad to say:( :rolleyes:

[Willow]

I have posted about a couple of controversial subjects in the past but I don't do it to start an argument. There are a couple of members that I've noticed who will post something that they know is going to start a war but the funny thing is they never reply to it themselves. They post it and then that's it. LOL If I do disagree I try to do it without disrespecting the person. I also try not to use mr roll eyes. That in itself can be very offensive. It's like using the word whatever. It makes some people feel that their thoughts and opinions don't matter.

[odyssey]

very well said Luna.

[Willow]

Thanks odyssey. :)

When I use him in a post it's for a totally different reason. I just like to keep an eye on the poster above me so they don't try nothing funny like dropping something on my head. You know how mean some folks can be. ;)

[movie nut]

I like mr rollseyes also. It's excellent for using to make fun of oneself; also to express that an unpleasant thing/fact exists & we all know that. If I'm being truly sarcastic I also add the angry smilie. I try to take care that my posts won't be misunderstood; I'm sure that I don't succeed all the time:rolleyes:

EMELLE you are not lying about FW. I mean they are so rude it's ridiculous. I don't even post I just decided to look at the deals and move on. I know people around here get in little disagreements, but I wish people would not try to belittle someone's intellect. I find that to be mean spirited.

[FireFox1973]

Can't we all just get along? 99% of us post nicely. I think some people just look for a fight.

I wanna know what fw is! I really enjoy reading the nasty stuff--just keep my opinions out of it. Could someone tell me what forum we are speaking of? Please please please? I could do with some dirt about people I don't know!

[mugwump]

:confused:

F.W. ??? MC ???

Could someone please fill me in? Please pm me if it's something that can't be posted here...I'm really curious! (read that as "snoopy") Can't stand to be left out ... LOL

Are you referring to the spider bite thread? I see no problem with someone coming here to ask their friends for advice on something like that. Allot of people get spider bites and never go to the doctor. She might not have gone either if we hadn't of encouraged her.

Also not all Americans have good insurance, some don't have any. So before they make a mad trip that might cost them a small fortune they come here and ask advice from us in hopes maybe some of us might have been through it before ourselves.

[Xica]

I agree with KylaKym. I don't see anything wrong with asking for medical help as long as it's not an emergency -- someone choking, serious burns, etc. I think asking for the opinion and experience of others is fine. I don't think anyone would substitute a poster's advice with that of a doctor. Sometimes people ask questions so they'll know what to expect when visiting a doctor.

[Kukubaby]

Sorry, I don't agree with either of you, but then we're all welcome to our opinions aren't we? A spider bite can be deadly. And what if it was a bee sting and she went into anaphylactic shock? She wouldn't be here online to ask medical advice, would she? I would think that anyone should know something is terribly wrong when they see red streaks tracking up their veins and they'd immediately seek medical attention. And this would apply to "any" bite (spider, human, etc.). A bite is a bite and all can be dangerous and potentially fatal. I still wish her a complete recovery. But thanks to both of you for "biting" me for trying to be helpful.

:eek: :confused: :eek:

Well if you want to blow this way out of proportion, you could go as far as to say someone with a headache could die of a aneurism while typing here about how their head was hurting when they could be running to the E.R. for a cat scan. But most of us are more realistic than that and try to figure out a solution before coming to the conclusion. I think most people here are not stupid enough to come chat on the boards if they feel it is a life or death situation. And bringing this back down to earth to the original reason for our discussion you said they shouldn't come to vent/whine when they are in need of medical attention. I will say it once again. 1,000's of people get spider bites and never seek medical attention. And only a very few end up with a bite that should have been treated. I don't find her stupid in the least for not heading straight to the E.R. As a matter of fact someone in the same thread said she gets bitting all the time at her wood pile. But she seems to never have suffered much from it.

WTH are you talking about? Where did either of us "bite" you? You said yourself we're allowed to disagree, but when WE disagree with you, now we're "biting"? That makes no sense to me.

I do agree with you in that medical attention should be sought if something looks or feels the least bit wrong.

Did I ever refer to you?? I'm sorry if you got that impression, but I'm glad that you at least agree with me about seeking medical attention.

"I have promises to keep....and miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep".

[Xica]

"either of you" and "both of you" -- that's where I got the impression you were referring to me as well as Kyla Kym since that denotes you're speaking to more than one person. If you weren't referring to me or to Kyla, then who?

ah, forget it. It looks like I'm being a *****y troublemaker and that's not my intent. :o But hey we agree on one point, right? ;) :p

[Jaidness]

a big ole AMEN to that!

[IFeelLucky]

whweres the FW forum at?

[Lora_1994]

I was wondering the same thing. What is fw and mc ??

[odyssey]

hi guys asking for the other 2 websites, we can't post them here at BBS it is against the rules, nor can it be PM to you as it will be starred out and you still won't be able to read it. wish I could post it but can't here.

[julie_angel]

just ran in to wave hello to Odyssey!
