I hope you are not being overly sensitive
Mustangbelle. Let's think about this here, you're gonna stop posting your comments b/c someone PM'd you their opinion about you and your posts/replies?
I think you have been mistaken on your idea of a message board (which is for discussion, opinion, etc, etc, etc). Moreover, compare the # of posts that essentially tell you "shut up and go away" to the # of posts that tell you "we all enjoy your insight here-- please stay. You are a valuable member of MW" and then reconsider what you stated about not posting your opinions anymore to certain threads.
Very other good points were made in this thread concerning the PREVIEW button. And yes, I would suggest we use it more often. Also, Mr. 5 0 mentioned something to the effect that we should try and use stuff like "IMO" (in my opinion) instead of directing one's onslaught of opinion as if it is fact. ...Simple guidelines to follow .
Also, as mentioned b4, anyone can get a wrong 1rst impression off someone else...uuhhh, so? If they stay here long enough, they'll know the person a little better and understand the intentions/motive behind that person... First impressions can be quite worthless many times.
IMO, you are a valuable member of this board and I enjoy your posts/replies. Bearing on my good opinion about you stems from how long I've known you as a MW member. Please continue to post/reply in whichever threads you wish. This is a free country and a open/public message board.
And if you're gonna listen to a 1 or 2 people who wanted you to stop posting
, then you more so have to listen to the many people that want you to post here... HA! How you gonna challenge that
