Not to beat a dead horse, but....

Re: Not to beat a dead horse, but....

    Honestly, I dont know much about the specifics of the drama that's been going on the past few days, just the jist of it. My comments werent directed at anyone in particular, more like th eentire board because we seem to have some kind of drama like this weekly. If its not one thing, its the other. And frankly, its exhausting. I mean, some of you ask why the board is so dead. Really? It doesnt seem to be hard to figure out.

    I dont have anything against anyone here and I truely enjoy talking to all of you. I'm not going to pick sides because...well...thats stupid. I dont have the energy for it. So I'll just continue to be honest and call it like I see it.  

     I'll ditto this:

    we might share the same beliefs and interests as other people on the board, but I think that the board has unified in multiple occasions to show that, like a family, we might disagree some or most of the time, but when it boils down to it, it's never malicious or spiteful.

    If you cant handle the bolded statement and react like an adult instead of a whiney 5th grader, then I really encourage you to think a little more about being part of any internet board.

    I didn't see any whining in this post. I thought we were all discussing our feelings like responsible, reasonable adults. Just sayin.

  • Yea. I was speaking generally. Just sayin'.

    Thanks for clarifying. :-)

  • This whole thing is exhausting. I wrote like three huge replies yesterday then gave up because I just didn't have time to edit and finish my work before leaving at a decent hour.

    I just started two again, and gave up again.

    Lately, I don't want to contribute because it always feels like I'm waiting for the next big blowup. It just really isn't worth the fight. Especially when I am not aiming to start one. Which I understand, it doesn't come off that way at times.

    It sucks to have to edit my posts because I don't want [insert person here] to think I'm provoking an argument. More so when I'm not even thinking of a given person when writing my thoughts.  Always posting with disclaimers threaded in. I mean, what for? I honestly never thought I'd feel so much empathy for SW2B.

    ETA - the reason I had such a hard time gathering my thoughts is because I didn't want to come off in the wrong tone. Which I still feel like I failed at. This might sound like I feel like the victim. I don't really feel like a victim so much as a hot button person. I don't want to be a victim or a hot button poster. That was my point. It would be nice to post without feeling like past crap is going to cause a stir with anything I write. I hope that makes sense.
