Essie - from "final observations"
But I don't think it was a worthless experiment. It showed, pretty clearly I think, the true colors of many of the posters.
As I said I named my original thread wrong, it should have been 'are we welcome' not I because I was using myself as an example of a new person/h2o refugee and giving my viewpoint.
I'm not worried about how I personally get treated, and I guess that I didn't state that clearly enough. I'm trying to make people consider the newbies...
Yes I agree with you that many people here have been kind to me. I appreciate that. Like I said I was trying (badly, apparently!) to bring attention to a bigger picture.
This is not about me! I was trying to present a bigger picture!
there's plenty more similar thoughts posted by essie down the thread but I think these convey the gist of her intent.
At the time I was "offered viewpoints" on essies viewpoint to my response to essies "am I unwelcome" post by insistant posters other than essie.
here is a portion of my response to essie down that thread -
goo - from "am I unwelcome here"
that is unless you were asking the question in some kind of larger sense essy - because i suspect you know what i'm saying here and why i've responded to your question in this way
to which I received the following responses -
(abbreviated to spare you but refer to the original if you think I'm taking things out of context) -
mommy - from "am I unwelcome here"
Goo,
Obviously, you have no insight in the feeling of unwelcomeness that Essie is feeling.
&
tina
goo,
essie and I are dear friends,she knows where Im coming from. I have nothing but respect and love for her,and she knows this-so knock it off with the cheap shots.
I've dealt with more adept and subtle trolls than you.
Yes I admit your insight shows mommy and tina so does your expertise in dealing with trolls.
in conclusion to reiterate the point I made down the "am I unwelcome thread"
ps. i'm familiar with essys story and she does not sound like the kind of person who is unintelligent enough to understand what i said nor immature enough to feel threatened by an idea. i give essy far more than that much credit not like some obviously.
thanks
goo. stupid troll awaiting deletion class
