But peace out.

I agree.

I think it's wrong to delete a thread just because you don't like the responses

I deleted the posts because of the advice of so many people , since the posts were causing trouble, this way there is not trouble, however truble is still not happy, and I am the one who has problems. Catherine

Truble why dont you give her a break. as far as all her posts at least she`s keeping it going and they are interesting posts. Why dont you start picking on someone else. Sorry Catherine I guess it`s your turn. I havent had a turn on this site but that other site. So have a nice evening truble and catherine. Life is too short. nancy

Keeping it going? She deleted the thread because she didn't like that people disagreed with her! If responding is"picking on," then why doesn't Catherine stop picking on me? For crying out loud, she's started a entire thread to call me names but you don't hear me whining about it.

As to your alleged turn, I don't know what other site you're talking about.

Thanks for the info! I've never been there, so it must have been someone else picking on her there.

Sometimes this place reminds my of my son. Anytime you correct or discipline him, you're "yelling" at him, which is complete foolishness. Some people, anytime you disagree with them, you're flaming them or picking on them. If you post a thread with an open question, you should expect to get some people disagreeing with you.

I agree...you don't just say "Wah...I'm taking my marbles and going home!" ~Lisa

I dont think Lucy belongs to the TLJ forums. I may be wrong though !

It's a boring place to chat. I tried it, and after I few days had my profile deleted. It was really dull!

TLJ is FAR from boring.

I dont think the "other place" is boring. It may not be for everyone. There are things one can say on there and not be blasted about it . You can let your hair down and not worry what everyone else thinks and says.

I don't think it's boring. All message boards have lulls. Could you just have caught it at a slow time?

I must have missed that. Was it deleted? I'm new to that site and haven't read everything but I haven't seen any threads that bash other members over there. People speak their minds but I haven't seen posters ganging up on one poster. What happened because I don't even see a Njfl listed as a member. What's your user name over there?

I have been a member over there since day 1 and have never seen njfl or ilovelucy420 blasts there. I can honestly say I have read every post on that site too. All boards can get boring at sometime. I am glad you decided that board was not for you and left instead of being a lurker. I personally like it with those two live jews. It is not a secret place either. We just are not allowed to post the link here. If anyone wants to know about it just ask. We'll tell you.

Personally - and it looks like I'm in the minority - I don't mind posts going poof.

Real live conversations end when they end. They live on in the memory of those involved and don't remain for eternity for the rest of the world to read and rehash, and for people who were never involved in the discussion the first time around to dredge up like an old shoe. Nobody can live anything down or start fresh.

I especially think that's true of someone who is rather new to a message board. I realize Lucy has been trading for a long time but it appears she's new to the concept of a 'discussion board', and obviously started out on the wrong foot in many ways. I, too, have a great appreciation for punctuation, capital letters where they belong, and other such grammar-related issues. I certainly don't always type flawlessly myself, and now is the perfect opportunity for someone to pull up all of MY old posts and show what a failure I am in this regard. Still, as I mentioned in another thread, when I read a post with no differentiation from one sentence to the next, I 'hear' it in monotone and the person 'sounds' stoned in my head. The poster's credibility suffers because that's the impression I have of them.

When someone is new and jumps in with both feet and goofs up all around - from 'talking' too much and 'talking' all wrong (bad grammar, punctuation, etc.) unfortunately, their words will live on forever around here. And that's probably often frustrating to people who later 'clean up their act' and become solid contributors.

I do think, however, that the thread she deleted was deleted with merit. A poster - and I don't recall who it was - suggested that she do it. The reason they gave was that her deceased brother's situation seemed to be being mocked and the poster doubted Lucy would want those words about her brother to be stuck on the internet forever. They really encouraged her to just get rid of the post and move on.

And she did.

She's new and goofing up in many ways, something I think many of us can understand. Some like to wear the banner of 'blunt' as though it gets brownie points and excuses things that are likely hurtful. I think if we can give hall passes for those who want to be 'blunt' I think we can also extend them to those who are somewhat new to the discussion format and extend a bit of grace when they follow a suggestion offered up to them as a way to gracefully bow out.

Lucy, if you're reading this, I hope you're feeling your way through and learning from your mistakes. Just like in the 'real world' there are things you do and things you don't, rules that are written and rules that aren't. Don't jump in and monopolize the board with lots of posts until you feel certain that you know the 'vibe' of the place. Things will work out much better for you if you do.
