    Seems like tension is high right now, and I really hate tension, especially when I get right in the middle of it...........lol..... I swear I am not a troublemaker ,,, for the most part...

    I enjoy this board because I have alot of good friends here, I have learned alot and this place will always have a special place in my heart because of that.

    I like Moe and Randoms board because they are my friends and I like it there too.

    I even lurk at JWO because I am nosey and I am interesting in certain ones and what is going on in their world.

    I worry,,,,,,,,,,, because I do care too much of what people think of me,,,,,,,,,, that by going to these other boards that I will be lable as disgruntled. I am not in anyway.........I go to different boards because I have friends that go there.

    I had someone tell me if they went to the other boards they would be worried that others would see it as being somehow disloyal or they would be labled disgruntled. I guess I wonder if that is what some think of me now.

    I really hope this post doesnt turn ugly, for that is not my intention at all. I really just feel sad when everyone is fighting, and I hate to be part of anything that has caused anyone to feel upset.

    I have cross posted Lyin and have never felt like I was being judged for it....

    I think the only time you might catch some flack is if you go to another board to gripe about this one....if you have a problem here with something done here or someone here don't you think it should be addressed here?

    I certainly don't mind where people post (it is up to them after all!) unlike what some would have people believe.

    The only thing that bothers me is when people spread lies about me. I suspect most people would be a little aggrieved to see things being said about them that were untrue. Of course the people doing it know they are untrue but they seem to think that if they repeat them often enough, it wil eventually be accepted as fact.

    It is kind of sad that people have nothing better to do that analyse and twist everything I say ... some people are still doing it a year later! (sad)

    The thought of anyone caring about me going to another board never even crossed my mind!

    This is not the Kingdom Hall, after all. Most of us here are here because we didn't like being told what to do. I have never seen any indication by Simon (see above) that it should make any difference.

    Anyway, I still like you, LyinEyes!

    Yes I do Xena, and I did, but I did make the mistake of gossiping about it ........ I am really going to try to keep peace on my end, and from now on will be careful not to cause trouble by gossiping , it really only caused more harm and for that I feel very guilty .

    This is more or less my point in this post today, I want to be someone who can make a good contribution to a board , to all the boards. Usually I keep my opinions about what goes on between other posters to my self,,,,,,,,,, and when I didnt it caused trouble that made me feel bad about myself. I don't like to be thought of as a troublemaker and a gossip........ and yet that is exactly what I seemed to be, although honestly, I was just standing up for a friend in the beginning, my mistake,was posting it eleswhere and I put myself in that place as a gossip,,,,,,,which I really can't stand to be.

    Lyin anyone who has read your posts knows you for the good and honest person you are....just as anyone who has posted here for any length of time should be aware that Simon is a good person who does the best he can. We are all imperfect and make mistakes (OMG how JW does that sound????) the best thing to do is just learn from them and move on.

    I post on multiple boards and try to leave them where they are. Simon had guidelines here and I will follow them. The guidelines on JWO are looser and I have fun there too. But, I see no reason to badmouth either Simon or Dan on the others boards.

    To me, it is all about respecting the board hosts and their rules. Also, no need to bring from one board to another, leave it there. Others do that and I certainly don't care for it. There is no need for any board wars. Enjoy the boards and follow that boards guidelines, it really is that simple. What I say here is for here and what I say there is for there. Although I use a different name, it is no secret who I am and personally, I don't give a damn what "Malcolm Bitters" thinks. She can stew in her own mess.

    I wouldn't worry about where you post.Its your life.No one here has control of you

    From what I get of it here, is just respect Simon's rules and everything will be o.k..If I made a site,I wouldn't want people,picking out a certain persons and attacking them and cursing up a storm,because that can offend and hurt people.

    I post where ever I please and I wouldn't care what people thought about me,and second,I wouldn't two face people and say things when that person isn't there to defend themselves,even if was truth or lies.Respecting one another can go a long way.

    I've only posted on one other board, beside this one, and I used to read Lambs Roar. I agree that I don't want to turn this thread into a bash-fest and get negative. I will however say this: I don't read much on JWO simply because it's somewhat boring. It's hard to have an intelligent conversation when a couple of Neo-Nazis and some JW wannabe trolls keep causing disruption. That's what I call boring. It's always the same thing: obscene names and insults back and forth. If that's all discussion boards are going to be, then I'm outta here.

    I'm not aware of the level of tension that you see Lyin', but I'm not always the brightest bulb in the batch. Has someone been attacking you? I hope not since you're one of the nicest people on this board.

    This stuff goes waay back prolly before most of the ppl here were posting.

    Neways, I for one was a major particpant many moons ago and I blame the antagonist in me. Sometimes I feel he should be taken outside and shot..... pet peeves be damned! Way back when were were quite successful at being ignored until something happend when I wasn't hanging out around here all that much and since then I haven't really been able to make any sense of what the hell is going on.
