Pappy, Josiah, Mrs Robinson

I'm like you Pookie, I stop and think "What have I said now?". The last thing in the world I ever want to do in real life and on social media is hurt anyone's feelings.

Thank you! The problem is that we're all behind monitors and keyboards. I try to be careful because I have a very whacked-out sense of humor and I sure would never want to hurt anyone.

I would bet if we all got together in a hotel somewhere in a conference room, we'd get to know each other a heck of a lot better and the laughter would disturb the other guests.

You are correct Pookie, as long as none of us brought up gun-control. :) Most of us have very strong ideas about it and we aren't going to change each other's minds.

You can go to someone's profile and on the upper left, click on their latest posts. Then look at the date of their last post. I did that awhile back as I hadn't seen Glinda on here lately.

I've been in touch with Glinda since she left, and sadly she won't be returning to the forum either due to similar reasons given for Phil's departure...and she's not the only one unfortunately in recent weeks. To lose Phil is a great pity he is certainly not someone who can't hold his own if it's necessary but like the vast majority of us he doesn't come here for conflict and clearly won't put up with it so has voted with his feet( or fingers in this case) .. ...I think a lot of us feel the same way!!

Pappy please tell Phil that he'll be missed and thanks for letting us know.

Send a member a Private Message should send them an e mail and sometimes that brings them back..
 
In Phil's case, it was something that was sent to him on the reputation section. Some told him to go f.... Y.. I would feel the same way as he does. I do agree with Warri. Just "don't dive in" if it's a subject you object to.
 
Pappy, really? I am sad to see Phil go. I don't understand sending negative reps. Certainly not profane ones. It is one thing to disagree, quite another to resort to that. I wish he would reconsider.
 
From the infamous "gun" thread...

Thank you Shali.... I really don't know why some are so eager to stir up trouble... Boring lives perhaps... So again I apologize for having lost my temper... We all have our sensitive issues... that is mine... I will try in the future to not let that color my responses..

In addition, anyone speaking to our friend Phil.... tell him I shall be happy to accept HIS apology and will gladly re-extend mine..
 
Yeah. :beatdeadhorse:

Well, now that all that's settled......

So Pappy is around, Josiah no one is sure, and MrsR take care and hope to see you again soon.
 
Since I wasn't the one who started this thread... I KNOW you cannot be referring to me AC.... But I'm not going to keep quiet while being dragged through the mud either... If defending myself is beating a dead horse... then why do YOU seem to make it necessary?
 
If I am not mistaken, I believe that Josiah posted a few weeks back that he is doing well, but is busy with a project and will return after the project's completion. However, since I am not in the loop and have no idea what may have happened that cost us a few pretty decent members, it goes without saying that he may prefer to stay away.

ClassicRockr also left us because of some things that were said to him that were hurtful and not necessary.
 
It happens.

Few yrs ago I joined what I thought would be a great forum focused on one of my areas of interest. Things were mostly fine, but I began to notice people seemed more interested in "hooking up".......:rolleyes:...... and complaining about each other, so I left and never went back.
 
I`m here,although barely. Having complications with my incisions from surgery back on Sept.2-been pretty darn sick. Having to go to the doc 45 minutes away 3X a week and feeling lie crap. Today feels like it might be a good day-sure hoping I`m on the other side of this. It`s delaying my starting radiation and I just want to get this all behind me. Thanks for asking about me,AC.
