Am I unwelcome here? (page 6)

unanswered

hi, esmeralda! i was thinking about your original post, and i think i know what you are saying, i came in right before the big influx of H2O'ers but still very recently, so i am a newcomer too. i actually liked waiting's description of the coffee shop gone popular, it doesn't make it a bad coffee shop, and it doesn't mean the new people are all lame!

i hope you don't leave the board, and though i can in no way speak for them, i doubt the old-timers mind any of us newbies who remember civility most of the time.:)

a side note i'm sure to regret, tina, why did you have to bring your beef with LW into this thread? does it always have to be about a soapbox? i'm not trying to be an Ahole, here, i just don't see how that had any place in the subject matter, except maybe to promote your own feelings about another poster. just a question-nate

unanswered,if you read LW's post again,it was clear who he was referencing his 'fools' and other nonsense too. He's said similar about me before. I do have the right to counter such bullshit.
I think he's the one on a sopabox by his constantly inserting that crap in his posts.
As long as he keeps that up,I will counter it. If you were familiar with his past posts,it would have been clear to you too.
I don't think anything negative about you bringing it up.
I think it's totally unfair to make such a comment tho,if you dont see the big picture,but you have the right to your opinion. I have no quarrel with you,regards,Tina
PS I was gonna ignore the rest of this thread,but did want to give you an answer.

tina, first off, i never said you didn't have the RIGHT to comment, i just asked why. second, i'm quite familiar with all the interchange between you and LW on the DB, so i'm not being "unfair", IMO. i would never had posted what i did to you had i not been aware of LW's comments as well. i think it's clear from LW's post on this thread that he was not instigating anything with you. he directed his comments toward the author of the thread, esmeralda, and he didn't single out anyone in particular.

i'm just so tired of even the most peaceful thread having to turn into a podium for personal arguments. i am not biased in this because, if you will recall, on a past thread, i expressed my opinion to LW that maybe he should drop it. i think he has. i don't think he did it because of what i said, i only use this as an example to show that i have not been "fighting" for LW, i doubt he would want me to. i present this only as a concerned and independant poster.-nate

unanswered,he didn't drop it,his comment about defending defensless ones against fools was a continuation. If he hadn't included that,I never would have mentioned a thing,and let it go.
It's clear that with that nasty self righteous condemnatory comment he made,who is not letting it go. I'm sorry you can't see that for exactly what it is.
Even tho his post was written to essie,that inclusion of his was totally unecessary and quite clear who it was meant for. I think it only fair and equitable that he recieve the same comments you gave me.
So please be fair and advise him to knock it off too.
And with this,Im done.

Hi everyone,
At this crucial point in time I am compelled to say three things:

i really don't see how you could describe LW's post on this thread as "nasty, self-rightous" or "condemnatory", but each one to his or her own.

" I'm sorry you can't see that for exactly what it is. "

um, me too, i guess.

my post was addressed to you personally(or at least part of it), if you take it personally, that's cool with me, but i have tried to be respectful and civil with my differences of opinion. sometimes, though, people are still upset about something that has happened in the past and so they become a tad sensitive to things said later on that do not single them out. that is understandable, but using it to platform is not very cool in my book. if one goes out looking for trouble, one will probably find it, if one tries to avoid it, there is usually no problem. i will try to follow this advice as well.-nate

There's this light switch in my house that doesn't turn anything on. Every once in a while I go by and flip it just to see if anything will happen. Last week a woman from Germany called and said "Cut it out." Steven Wright

ok, ok. quotes by you will be chuckled at - but careful, girl. You're on my turf now.

WELCOME EVERYONE - this is a free place. Again, Simon's one request was to be civil. We're not perfect, all fall short, but this place is worth working for - the concept and it's reality fill a need and void for many of us.

The more the merrier.

waiting - one more time
