Do you ever feel like....

[Gurgi]

Is anyone on here a siggie cop wanna be???

Oooh, ooh! Me! Me!!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Is that what you call constantly hijacking threads?? Being friendly and encouraging?? Whoa. You may THINK you got that nickname in jest, but, you know...if the shoe fits, and it walks like a duck, and all that.

Guess again! Why the anger? I've never done anything to you?

 

[Tiffer]

I tell my Dd everyday to make sure she goes to college, recylces, is charitable and stays on topic on internet threads.

So if it sounds arrogant and insulting, it must be??

No guessing necessary.

Who's angry? Just observant. Why would something have to be done to ME for me to think it stinks?

 

[dis ms.]

OP, my posts get ignored all the time. I'm not privy to most of the inside jokes and I don't belong to any cliques (I know some object to that term, but I can't think of a better way to describe them). Plus, I'm not a very prolific poster. Although I visit the DIS almost every day, I only post in spurts.

I get lost in the shuffle. It happens a lot, but I don't take it personally. Well...sometimes it irritates me when I have a legitimate question and my post gets ignored.

Hang in there, OP.

BTW, does anyone else find it ironic that this thread has been hijacked with inside jokes which the OP probably doesn't get? Isn't that part of her complaint? You know, the "private conversations" she mentioned.

If you don't have anything nice to say......I know I teach my DD that!

Personal attacks are unnecessary.

It's very ironic indeed and a prime example of what the OP was talking about.

Feralpeg. I think you're suffering from the same affliction as many adults...symptoms include being compassionate to posters, staying on topic, being respectful...you know...the kind of things you hope your kids learn. Is that what you call constantly hijacking threads?? Being friendly and encouraging?? Whoa. You may THINK you got that nickname in jest, but, you know...if the shoe fits, and it walks like a duck, and all that.

Seems to me you are ignoring your own advice there. Those are some very unkind accusations there MaryAnn and could be construed as a personal attack.

Tigger&Belle is always found in various threads offering great advice and support. She's known and appreciated by many posters here.

 

[MoniqueU]

Yes all the time.

Yes, it's best if everyone tries hard to not make friends here so that all posts can be generic prayers and pixie dust for people that mean nothing to you. And I would imagine that making statements on a public forum with thousands of people hardly makes is a "private" conversation. What a pity that I've made friends here.

 

[bigmerle1966]

LOL Swedish MeatballI'm going to take that as a compliment. I am the friendly one around here for sure.

I used to feel this way all the time, but then just started jumping into conversations. It's bound to happen on busy threads and still happens sometimes, but I know it's nothing personal. And look at me now, I'm a boardho.

That has happened to all of us.

I agree that they can be intimidating, but don't hesitate to jump in. That's how many people ended up on the PMS thread and we have gotten to be a very close bunch of people. Personally, I try to acknowledge any and everyone who posts on that thread. Try to post on a clique thread (I hate that name, by the way because it implies that it's exclusive, and many of them aren't) and see what happens. If you don't get acknowledged, try again--sometimes they move very fast and the posts can get lost!

She's not ignoring us, is she?

I'm sorry, did you say something?


Huh? I think that this thread is actually sticking pretty close to the topic, with some joking going on and I don't even know that the joking is among "friends".


It's not really about PMS per se, even though you wouldn't know it some days. More of a chat thread where we offer support and supply lots of laughs. And you'd drive yourself bonkers if you read through the entire thread. If something is said that you don't understand, just ask.

Well isn't that a change!

Pssst, teva, I'm pretty sure that it's adult entertainment that got her into this situation to begin with.

I missed this, teva...you bad girl you! Took me 4 kids to figure out what was causing it.

The Tag Fairy has given those first two tags to me off and on...playing with me.



Of course that happens, just like in real life. Once a question is answered don't think it's a big deal and sometimes I'm relieved when that happens to a thread that I've started because it means that it doesn't die before my question is answered.

I'm pretty sure that the tag fairy wears these and can see everything that we're all doing.

Be careful...the tag fairy could be reading.



I realize that's what you were talking about and I know sometimes the threads can be taken over with off-topic conversation. I've still had plenty of threads with few responses and would have been happy for a temporary hijack so my thread didn't die too fast.

Seems most of her posts stayed pretty much on topic, don't see what the problem is.

Someone must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!

Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying. I'm glad you uncovered the hidden meaning in my post.

"Private conversation" was the OP's term, not mine--hence the quotation marks. But, thanks for setting me straight anyway.

 

[lulugirl]

you try to join a thread and everyone just ignores you? Sometime I feel like I am intruding on some private conversation. I don't know...just makes me feel sad...anyone else?

Sure, can't say it bothers me though.
If people want to behave like a high school clique they can have at it, I just ignore them.

 

[tevagirl]

Thanks guys! I feel better now. I guess I was just having a blah day. I am sick and my kids are all sick (flu,bronchitis etc.) Add to that I 'm pregnant so I am probably just oversensitive at times. Or not? Just kidding. Anyway- thanks for all the love.

BTW- I love the mooning smilies and the barfing ones. The gymnastics one made me crack up!

We made her feel better. Ironic, huh?

 

[WonderfulDreamer2]

Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying. I'm glad you uncovered the hidden meaning in my post.

Let me know if I can be of any more help. Always happy to lend a hand.

you are absolutely right. However sometimes, people perceive it as a high school clique and really it is just group of people who are supportive of each other and welcome everyone!

I post on a particular thread almost daily and I too get ignored. It is just that sometimes the converstaion is moving fast.

Post again and join in the fun!

That must be why you have so many friends.

I get "ignored" all of the time. Yesterday I don't even think anyone replied to anything I said. Does it hurt my feelings? Nooo.... I just figure that maybe no one knows what to say, or whatever, it's not a big deal.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I really don't get some of you, especially the person who seemed to go after me. Do you have a clue that I have offered so much support to the DIS community? Do you know that I had a pelvic ultrasound today that will hopefully rule out some bad stuff, but could possibly confirm it? Do you realize that I have gotten so much support from my DISer friends and I am so grateful for that support and caring? Do you know that I offer love and support to many DISers and it doesn't matter if you are a friend of mine before whatever crisis you are going through? Do you know that I include each and every person in any thread that I'm a regular poster? You are so opinionated in your beliefs, but perhaps you should look closely at the house that you live in.

Just saying Hi, Don't want to kill this thread
