If we can not act courteous to one another , we can not expect another to to act any better. If we want to wear the Mod hat, we don`t have to like one another but we do need to act nice to one another. “We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order (moderating) until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.” ¯ Hunter S.

Well I found it useless to keep trying to make this point. I would be an idiot to ask to be thought of as bees knees (because frankly I don't care! I get along with everyone around here who has any talent or gift and whose opinion re: me would count), but there are things like... I dunno... the organic need to be civil. Anyway, apparently there are people who were raised within a different paradigm, but the annoying part is they make it everyone else's problem, anyone's problem but their own, they aren't even aware the way they were raised offends others. Well anyway, Hope God finds a way to redress the balance, he always does in the long run. IP: Logged |

Andstuff, it's not useless. We have mods who generally don't get along yet they do put their differences aside for the sake of keeping the peace on this site. That is selfless, instead of bearing grudges and not being able to let go or forgive.You are allowed to voice your opinions and vent if you need. It just seems that you're still angery and can't let this go. I don't know about the spats between you and Jessica but if you feel that passionately about it, take it up with Randall in private.

^ no, charmaine, I do not feel passionately about it at all. She's just rude to people (other than myself) and it feels weird having to co-mod with someone like that. but then my only problem is i somehow feel her being rude has anything to do with me, which it doesn't. there really is no problem whatsoever.

Can we just move on, please?I don't want this to be an on-going argument with you two. This forum is meant for support and inspiration. Let's keep it that way. If this can't be resolved then this thread must be moved to GU. I don't want this unpleasantness in my forum. IP: Logged |

I think I was crystal clear that my desire is identical to yours ? Sure, I'm happy to move on. IP: Logged |

I for one would love if both of you, jessica & andstuff/and stuff & jessica (nothing intended with naming other one first) stopped bashing into each other or just exchange emails so you can tell each other in private how much you dislike each other. I personally really dislike the threads where it sees to get a contest between both of your opposing opinions. It feels awkward for me and I can only imagine what it feels like for people just entering the forums. So you both have different views. Sois. Please don't fight it out in other people's threads. Just my 2 cents. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/000988.html http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/001008.html IP: Logged |

Well anyway, Hope God finds a way to redress the balance, he always does in the long runYes, there are things that God must redress and only He CAN redress. I could not have stayed a Mod without Lalalaina, Nicki and others whom I loved and trusted.
I had many private conversations about this kind of thing and I still do because I need to. You really need the support when you are just starting out for situations in which you feel confused and upset. I still need to talk to trusted friends about things that seem over my head and many are over my current maturity level but after I deal with them, my maturity level increases for the next problem( and there will be one) Here is my e mail as I think you need to discuss this more and Charmaine does not want you to do it here ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy?

@ Twirl: I'm pretty sure it is evident I didn't intend to fight in either of the threads you linked. We discussed this yesterday didn't we? I was certain help with interps belong in personal readings which is why I was concerned that mistakes had been made. Obvs Randall's word is the only thing that could persuade me otherwise. I am happy for things to be this way since R said so. Until that moment it was natural to assume help with interps should be in PR (for the record littlecloud was also dismayed to learn this when I told her), which was incidentally the only point I was trying to make. This is not fighting is it? I think we agree that we all had qualms as to where to keep those threads, surely I am not expressing any such concerns ever againAnyway, out of respect for charmaine I think this subject should indeed be dropped. But hey was cool to experience Dolores Umbridge ways in real life, not see them in a movie talk about admiring life in its diversity!! Besides really Dortmund won 5-0 in the German league yesterday, I am really keen to focus on the good things in life IP: Logged |

Agreed. As a knowflake, seeing mods argue for very ridiculous reasons & sometimes attacking each other personally back & forth, it's a real turn off. I understand that mods are everyday people, but as a mod I feel like you have to put emotions aside & stay cool, calm & collected because I feel like mods represent the forum & having a mod project negativity, it doesn't reflect the forum vey well. Because if our own mods can't control themselves, how can they control us knowflakes? I'm a student that works as a cashier for a part time job & I come in contact with the public alot & trust me there are days where you encounter plenty of rude customers but I never ever lose my cool, I just let it go & stay polite because it's not worth holding onto. Negative situations, they happen everyday when you work in customer service. However, You have the power to choose how you'll react to certain people. I'm just a knowflake but a little advice: When you're on duty, set emotions, personal issues aside PLEASE for the greater good of the forum. I have to say most of you are doing a great job. Lindaland is a great forum, let's keep it that way <3 quote: Originally posted by Twirl: I for one would love if both of you, jessica & andstuff/and stuff & jessica (nothing intended with naming other one first) stopped bashing into each other or just exchange emails so you can tell each other in private how much you dislike each other.

^^ That, and i also wish people who don't know half the story not take 'sides' naturally no one is going to say it's their fault. Taking sides like one is a baddy and the other a goody, is just fanning the fire...or whatever the term is.anyway Jessica is a great girl, andstuff isn't bad either. if i'm not wrong this whole thing started because of a misunderstanding about opinions on that so called "power of attraction" or something like that....which is a bit ridiculous. @Randall...why do you want her on this thread, you asked them to ignore each other, which i think is good, and a way to do that is not to come to these threads where one side knows the other will always try to push their buttons.
