Boards And New Year Resolution

Jordan2 — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 19:22:44 GMT

Maybe with the new year starting we can all make a resolution to be open to other points of views, not get argumentative with others, and stick to the topic at hand. It would be nice if the moderators didn’t have to remove content or shut down a thread altogether. Happy New Year to all, here’s hoping we can all get along in the new year.

It's an admirable aspiration, but I fear there will always be those posters who argue for their own amusement.

I agree on this, but, remember the phrase, "majority rules". I saw it in the posts the other day about Dan and his eating. Everyone stood up for the most part for Dan. It can be done.United we stand, divided we fall. It takes so little effort to be kind. You can even disagree kindly.

We need to keep them employed.

Yup, I consider myself "job security" for the mods. Lol

I am accepting of differing points of view until/unless someone posts a nasty derogatory one akin to jr high bullying and then all bets off!!! I don't feel they should be ignored and need to know others think their view is not merely an opinion but a derogatory statement. It's all in the wording and some obviously mean to make fun of anyone who likes what they do not!!! Kids in school are being taught to stand up to this type of behavior and not ignor it. I have no problem with someone stating they do not like the look of a certain type of clothing and it's not for them but to state everyone looks ridiculous and trashy wearing something is making fun of those who do like and wear such items of clothing.

I am sure there will be more on New Years Resolutions over the weekend...

but I am going to try to be more grateful for what I already have .... for

instance ... I just sat down here wtih a perfectly clear ... clean glass of

water .. and realize many many people in the world don't even have that .....

@Pook

I agree. Been coming here for years, and then when I keep seeing the snarky 'baiting' replies, and just plain rudeness, I have to go away for awhile. Sometimes months. Most ppl here are kind, funny, informative, supportive, and worth listening to and interacting with.

It's like you said, can be very Jr high-ish, clicks, etc.

I'm my own person, I come here for a little diversion, share common interests, topics, experiences, and other things. It's pretty neat that we are 'talking' with ppl from all over the U.S and for the most part it's pretty fun to stop in.

Oh I have had the snarks come after me .. and I do the same ..

just stay off for a while ....

I’ve always said whenever the word “you” is used, it should be tagged for the Moderators. There’s a really good chance it’s not positive & it’s being used as a personal attack.

Unless it’s...‘I love you!’ or ‘You are great!’...! 💛

Or you know how banned words are typed out as *****?

The Moderators could have an algorithm in place if the

word ‘you’ is used (again, most likely in negative context)

just have it replaced with “the kitten” or “I’m wrong”...or

some other silly phrase.

“....what do you know about...”

....what do the kitten know about...

”....you are so wrong about that....”

...I’m wrong are so wrong about that....

See where I’m going? Giggle.

What other silly phrases could replace ‘you’?

Will this put an end to the often brought up complaints of facebook, cell phones, fake IRS calls, host bashing, SG prices, LR threads, high S&H and all year QVC Christmas programs?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Once again, I'm resolving to not make any "new year resolutions". I just try to do my best throughout the year.

As a poster mentioned - gratitude is a good position to adopt in general. It covers a multitude of sins. It helps us to walk away from fussy folks or those just having a bad day.

I haven’t made a new year’s resolution for at least 25 years. It became something people did because it was an ‘everyone expects it’ thing and most people know it’s not going to happen even as they reveal their resolution.

@jubilant Your post is such a wonderful Dale Carnegie philosophy. Love it. Imagine if that behavior was the norm.
