I asked her nicely to not take offense. She posted this on the cruise board which had nothing to do with a cruise. A week earlier she posted on the cruise board a thread entitled "before I die" or something like that.. saying her one wish was to be given a tag. I find that begging and also offensive as there has been some very sad deaths on the cruise board. A few days before that she posted again emploring the tag fairies to bestow a tag upon her. There are plenty of threads for someone to request a tag.. to keep doing over and over on the cruise board is viewed as many as begging. It does not seem to have been too successful of a campaign I was just telling her to let it drop and maybe she would be surprised.
yourtravelpro if my words offened you I am sorry, I certainly would not want someone bummed out over my post..

First of all, just because you say you asked me nicely not to be offended does not mean whatever you say will not be offensive. If I said I don't like you, but not to take offense does that mean you shouldn't take offense? That's not how it works.
Secondly, I am pretty new to these boards. I didn't know there was any etiquette about what boards you can post things to and what boards you can't. I found out about these tags and thought they were the coolest thing since sliced bread. I have read tag thread requests on the cruise board before. I have seen comments about how to get a tag. Without, knowing that what I was doing was wrong, I was posting and having fun.
So, my post was "My wish list before I die" - To be tagged by the tag fairy. It was edited by me, because someone made the comment that I should make it bigger and in color because that's what the tag fairy looks for. Someone else told me I should clap and add chocolate candy to the post. What do I know, like I said I am new to the boards. The fact that there had been some passings on the board should make no bearing in the matter. As a matter of fact, I made a very nice post to the very thread that you are talking about acknowledging the passing and offering my sincere condolences. If you look at my other posts, you can see I am a very helpful and knowlegable person when it comes to cruises. I try to help when I can.
It bothered me that you were telling me what I can and can not say on the board. I've seen posts from you that haven't been about cruises. You've been bummed out and your Disney friends were here to support you. I've seen the thread. I didn't even know about Tagliarchy until my last post when I was dissed. I still don't really know what Tagliarchy means. You could have been a lot nicer about the whole thing and sent me a PM and advised me about proper etiquette since you could see I am new.
That's not the choice you made.
It's okay, I'm over it now. It's no big deal, and, believe it or not nor is getting a tag.
