I personally don't mind people staying behind their screens if that's more comfortable for them. But audio or at least texting (which is essentially what we're doing here) would be good.

We have so much in common girl; I'm weird and I piss people off all the time!

Okay, that came out differently than I meant... LOL ♥️

I can attest to Medusa being weird & pissing people off. Not me though. Would hate to see you leave PP.

Okay, I don't want to come off a goody-two-shoes, hall monitor, but can we not do the witch hunt thing?

I'm not saying I don't love some fun gossip, but this kind of thing could start out innocent and turn ugly and our Zoom quest is new and fragile. And I don't want to hurt anyone.

This is easily fixed; we only need remove anonymous, non-acknowledging people, in future.
 
I really like PP @Medusa. BTW, so far I have not had interest in joining your meetings so I'm not the lurker! Doubt if you even know this person. I think it's not an active member.

See? See what's happening with this whole, "who is it?" thing?

I don't think you're the lurker, @Pepper. I've never thought that because I really haven't put much thought in who this person is. Geeze, there's already a moniker for an anonymous person.

Let's not do this. Really. ♥
 
Remember in the 80's the "Who Shot J.R.?" T-Shirt?

I suggest a new one...

"Who lurked at the Zoom meeting?"
 
By the by, it wasn't me who lurked at the Zoom meeting. I already stated I'd join the group eventually. :)

Just having a bit of fun. ;)

No hard feelings. This is pretty small beer in my book. Just take the anonymous feature off of the next Zoom meeting would be my suggestion.

Saright?
Saright!

Yes, that's what I've been saying. On that.

If we could maybe not perpetuate a witch-hunt, though; that would be awesome. @PeppermintPatty and @Pepper and you are already feeling it and I hate that. :(
 
I think you members whom are Zooming should continue to enjoy yourselves.
Sounds like you have a positive thing in motion at this time...

Give it more time to sort out any quirks or concerns, little things might still
pop up, but take them as the come and unfold, meanwhile have a great time ;)
 
I am very sorry that I brought up the original question of people going to zoom meetings incognito, you had the start of something good and by my query it has turned into something where some are now suspicious.

Certainly I did want to participate, was looking forward to it, nice to put a face to a name but if some are not showing their face then it does give me cause for concern. Why hide? It goes against the whole idea of a zoom meeting.

Maybe if things change and it would be mandatory to sign into the meeting with a face, not faceless, then that would discourage those with a hidden agenda.

No need to apologize for your question, @Lee; it is not what started this little debacle, so don't worry about that. :)

As far has the face/no face thing; I am happy to continue meetings where people might want to attend just over audio. Afterall, we are all faceless here on the forum and nobody gets upset at those members who don't use pictures as avatars. Keep in mind these meetings are exclusive to members of this forum and (now that we only put codes on our profiles) not accessible to non-forum-members.

Things were fine before this little dust-up and hopefully will settle again so we can continue to enjoy each other's company over various platforms. :)
 
Just take the anonymous feature off of the Zoom chat.

I also wouldn't want to participate on the call if some person was hiding their face and came from parts unknown.
 
I’m sorry. I personalize things too much and too often
When people question my motives I instantly react defensively which comes across as aggressive and I get overwhelmed easily ; none of which is anyone else’s fault.

I have a new iPad I’m using and occasionally I pop in here on it
It’s been storing others feedback which I wasn’t getting on my iphone and that made me feel ignored and paranoid. As soon as I came on this iPad I got all kinds of notifications that I missed☺️

I‘m high strung at times and far too emotional but do try my hardest to get along with others. At times I fail miserably

If I could get on Zoom I would. unfortunately I turned off many options on my iphone due to paranoia and that’s probably why things arent working. I’m not very good with computers so not sure what I’ve done but I’ve got this iPad that I haven’t screwed up YET 😬so maybe there’s hope.
 
Someone here should offer a simple 'one on one' or 'small group' class, 'Zooming without tears.' I will offer to do that. But I am often accused of 'mansplaining' so perhaps a female teacher would be preferred by many of you. All I know is somebody needs to do this, bring new people into the tech arena in a way that is at all times comfortable, safe and natural. Volunteers?

You know this kind of thing happened to me a while back when I was using my android to access a different site; I was missing a lot, including posts to my wall, which ended up with my being accused of being a scammer. For Freaks Sake.

I'm just glad it's worked out. Right there with you on the internalizing, easily reactive thing. No worries, girl. ♥
