Apologies

Say Nay · ‎03-12-2010

The other thread went very wrong. I wanted to inform posters of something that could have been a good thing (and may still be beneficial). When some brought up potential hazards I got defensive. I should have acknowledged that it was true, that there could be issues. Of course everyone should be cautious. I realized that too late. So my apologies to everyone for not listening. I know those who brought up problems had the best of intentions. I'm very sorry.

You tried. It was a great idea, but why can't the establishments do the same thing. Maybe they should be required to do so.

I just saw your opening and didn't see the responses, but I can imagine. You tried.

Thanks Preds : )

I don't know why hotels aren't involved. Or even the websites that host hotel reservations. It seems it would be more comprehensive. I don't know.

I didn't see the thread but I wouldn't get upset with yourself. You've been a nice person for the past decade I've been here. Every single one of us here have had our moments.

Work in progress ; )

Thanks @nun ya <3

I only saw the first few reasons replies. I can't imagine you'd intentionally start a thread without the best of intentions, Monkey.

Monkey, don't waste a moment fretting about what happened to your prior thread. Your intentions were good, but you can't control how other people interpret them. I, for one, can say that I don't suspect that you have been on this forum with the sole intent of collecting information regarding posters vacation plans/locations.

After it was deleted, I googled the subject based on your thread title. I really appreciate your alerting us to this information. I understand the concerns that might have been expressed (I admit they occurred to me too), but hopefully there is a way to upload the pics after one returns home...I'll definitely be exploring this after my next trip, so thank you again for the info!

@WenGirl42 YW! That would be great if people could opt out of giving location.

But I'm guessing that is a way of verifying that the photos really do come from the hotel. Otherwise people with less than honorable intentions could post photos of their neighbor's house, a friend's apartment or any other location just to cause trouble.
