Arguments in the forum

Violet Mon May 11, 2015 12:39 am

First topic message reminder :

Yet again new members are being driven away, so I am now banning personal arguing, if you have LEGITIMATE complaints about other members then you should contact me, privately. I cannot be here 24 hours a day so please be patient if I don't get back to you straight away. When I get time I will be removing offensive posts, I hoped being relaxed here would make for a more pleasant atmosphere for all, it is obviously not working out that way.

Bullying?

Perhaps,maybe, some people are getting their point of view shot down, unprepared to defend it, and call that "bullying".Or, when some people have others disagree with them, they feel offended...because they lack security within their own belief, and they get ticked off or feel "bullied" because they cannot handle it. Also, some may be just manipulating the word "bully" to their own convenience.

But,then, you have others...that are overly-prideful with their intellect and articulation, and condescend or put others down with it,and take the time to make that already vulnerable person feel "stupid".Those "self-entitled" geniuses, that feel the need to shoot the ideas of others down, because they believe their own opinion matters above all others.BUT, some old, narrow, ideas do need to be shot down, so one can provide the nearest truth, but from an authentic place, not from a place of ego. I believe it just boils down to intentions...are you trying to share knowledge to inform, or are you just trying to be pretentious?Sometimes the intentions can be a mixture of both...and others reactions to your character, can make it so easy to fall into trap of their own false perceptions of you.Those with empathetic abilities...can subconsiously fall for this , but regardless, their perception of you is unimportant at the end of the day, of course.

But, even so!,

There are those with intellect, charisma, and articulation so intimidating, that others make assumptions, accusing them of showing off, only because they are overly-insecure and simply mentally/intellectually unprepared...not stupid. You don't even need to be super intelligent...wisdom transcends our concepts of "time" and "place".

I guess...make no assumptions, or jump to quick conclusions.That's the moral.

If you guys stop responding to each other concerning Air Thoughts contributions then regardless of whether Air Thoughts does anything different in future - and my expectation is that he won't - there won't be a situation for Violet to have to deal with.

Job done.

Bullying is all about Control, and it does not matter what forum or what topic it is on. It has nothing to do with intellect. Bullies do not talk about the topic or even care about the topic, they accuse others to control them. They name call and make personal accusations or judgements on a person for control. It is about process not content. I am referring to all internet bullies, not to specific people in this forum.

We seem to have an agreement about where AIR posts fits best. No more really needs to be said for now.

Why would you quote my posting and then go on about bullying as if there were some linkage....?

You may believe that nothing more needs to be said but I think it does.

While I don't disagree that an alternative forum might be a better place if a contributor has routinely shown no desire to engage with others here, it's the sole right of the website owner, also the sole moderator, to decide what's right for her own website.

It would be disrespectful not to acknowledge that.

My reply probably should be for the post above yours (#51). Sorry for the error. Violet is very ill right now and is disabled, thus she can not moderate. I have full respect for her, and a deep concern for her. That is why I am attempting to tone all this down. I call that being very respectful. Let us self Moderate, and avoid any kind of accusation of any kind, until she is well enough to Moderate.

As this is largely what I said in posting #52 then I'm broadly in agreement with the sections in bold above. The obvious solution to personality spats is for each contributor to stand down from starting or joining in with any.

That doesn't, of course, stop us discussing, debating and even disagreeing with points made.

I'm sorry to learn that Violet is so unwell and hope she'll soon be back to good health and able to re-join us.

Good discussion, debate, and disagreeing, does not have Personal Accusations involved. When personal accusations are involved, nothing is solved, and worse yet, nothing is learned. So let us post our views with respect for each other. :peace:

Firstly 1Antique and Air Thoughts are two entirely different people, that is one issue now resolved any further reference to that nonsense will result in posts being removed without notice.
Secondly Air Thoughts has just as much right to post in the forum with the same freedom and right to engage in discussion or not as everyone else.
Thirdly as far as I am aware Air Thoughts has not broken any rule, while others have, im sure there is a rule about being civil somewhere round here and I'm sure most have read not only that but all of the other rules, but please feel free to re read them all.
Why people cannot live and let live is beyond me, while all this is going on and folk are seemingly unable to simply disregard Airs posts if they do not appeal, other posts are seemingly very easy to disregard, so just what is the beef?
I should not have to be here all the time to moderate, I cannot be here all the time, circumstances change, nor should I need an army of mods to babysit in my absence, this forum is better than that, and full of lovely people.

That leads me to one conclusion the folk having a problem with Air, perhaps Air is known elsewhere? Whatever the issue, from elsewhere or not, they have done no wrong here, and until they do they are as welcome here as anyone else.
Finally I won't be herding threads in the manner suggested there is no need for such action as far as I can see, if you don't care for any particular posts simply disregard them there is simply no need for all this unpleasantness. That is my final word on this matter.

between eachothers yins and yangs

Spiral Wed May 20, 2015 2:32 pm

personally i have dealt with yins and yangs of my own, don't we all have our own storybooks,
i would never leave because of bullying, in others opinions and thoughts are thier own beliefs, each to thier own,
makes sense to just accept differences, then we are more open to sharing opinions and different views of eachother or subjects from our standpoints

I will be posting in AIR threads about certain things in this threads. One can like it or not. Religious Preaching seems to be allowed here. I will caution all, that AIR posts is Preaching. I will approach his posts as such.

AIR Thoughts has been banned from more than one internet forum. Thus I suspect his motives, others seem to as well.

If the 3 of you are so uninterested in what Air Thoughts posts, then why are you constantly in the threads? If I was uninterested in what someone was posting, I just would not click on the thread. But, the three of you are going out of your way just to degrade this member....i.e. calling Air Thoughts ignorant.

My best thought: Again, if you don't like what this member is posting, don't click on their thread.

absolutely true, i like your way of thinking, i dont like liqurice and i dont like sweetcorn, and i stay away from it, doesnt mean i dont like air, was just example, i just know there will be differences on here, and its up to them to deal with those differences by just believing there will be wide range of opinions, there is a wide range of people here, thanks and peace

I think that some members feel invaded or as if the forum has been soiled in some way by allowing this preaching to go on so long.

It is not the content, which if posted in a natural way might lead to some very good discussion or debate, it is the way it is posted by some unknown person that appears to jump in, post in a large font, and then disappear until the next time they decide to do so again.

They extremely rarely respond to any of the replies, which apart from being rude shows their lack of caring, and reveals their true mission.

I think it is a shame, but this whole episode has been dealt with really badly, and scolding people like children does not help. I am surprised that more members have not left!

how we react to air thoughts will have effect on those around us, we have to defend air thoughts untill proven guilty, for all we know air thoughts could be shy or not good with responding, though thier opinions are there for belief,
i see no harm in words and words dont truly show our true colours, we are more than words, its actually difficult to speek in words who we really are, or who i really am,
we have to remember that we all have a choice in life, in this case, to avoid or embrace air thoughts, if you where air thoughts, how would you like to be approached and why?
i,v been reading air thoughts comments, i see no harm done, and is advice and opinions whether it is bold or not, or blue or not, advice comes in many forms
thanks and peace

derogatory, thats a new word for me, no idea what it means, but i certainly know what refrain means, it means to focus on something else or avoid same situation that doesnt go ones way, basically, it means to stop lol
it really boggles me why some people cant deal with certain things and just refrain, even a child knows this, they say "no thanks, i will go put lego down the toilet instead" lol
well i hope we can all laugh at this situation and see that choice is clear at the end of the day, even for those who just realised this, there is enough to go around
thanks and peace

It is a shame to see the way some of the threads are going. I'm very new here and the site itself is great but I'm feeling less and less inclined to post because it seems the only threads that are getting much traffic are the ones concerning Air and his posts. I clicked on one this morning feeling pleased to see a large number of posts there but was disappointed to see the comments that followed.

I don't get it. I have no problem with Air posting - as you say Spiral he could have a number of reasons for not wanting to reply to comments or engage with posters. Surely part of being a loving person is accepting people for who they are? I understand there's some history with Air on previous forms and it can be frustrating when a person starts a lot of threads but doesn't respond to comments, but even so, the far greater problem from where I'm standing is the sheer volume of distaste his posts are generating.

It is sad because it's taking over the forum.

I wish that peace could be reached.

Blessings
