Getting very hard to discuss any subject here anymore...

SeaMaiden · ‎03-10-2010

Any links posted seem to be laden with forbidden by QVC rules and regulations....everything is removed... or deleted.

Harder and harder to bring interesting conversations to the boards. Why bother....

Just will not anymore.

Back to discussing my pillows, nutisystem or the iconic Pooping Moose....

Have a great day!

@SeaMaiden Your link had political sidebars. That is why the mod shut down your thread.

It would be better to be more vigilant with your links; sidebars fluctuate, I understand that-but perhaps it would have been better to post a portion of the story without the link.

And honestly-not that this matters-but sometimes all we see around here are tragic stories and gossip from magazines about people we don't know and who don't care about us.

We've had good discussions about serious topics.

There is plenty to discuss although I cringe at topics such as how does one use a public bathroom. Gah.

Perhaps bathroom habits are not considered controversial.🙈🙉🙊😄

@SeaMaiden

Your subject can still be discussed. No need to post a link, although helpful, anyone can google the story themselves.

About the thread you had deleted, I saw that story about the tragic accident, too. And I do believe it was an accident. I certainly hope so. But very sad, too.

I still can't get over the initial one you posted about with the Hart children.

Could care less about the mother who at least once held her child's head under the water in the bathtub.

Well, she ended up doing that to all of them. I just hope it was quick and they didn't survive the crash.

Just the thought of a car going off a high cliff, knowing the outcome is going to be a bad one, even if you do survive, is horrific to even think about.

@SeaMaiden Sometimes but we've had recent long-standing discussions about topics such as the lastest high school shooting.

All topics eventually become stale or go off topic or become posts that start in with personal issues.

The only thing that really ticks me off is when posts are removed for being "argumentative" when the post is just offering an opposing VP without the snark and attack.

Or it's off-topic but the posts discussing cookies in a thread about global warming remain yet ONE post that really isn't off-topic gets the boot.

Such is life around here.

just copy and paste the article or part of the article.

you can then include a link that is NOT live, but can be copied and pasted by those interested. the other option is just to put part of the article in, then say, for example, via the washington post and include the name of the article.

@geezerette *snort" As long as that obnoxious Cottonelle wipes lady doesn't show up to discuss how our "bums" feel after wiping.

Then don't post here. It's a private message board and the Powers That Be can make or break any rule they wish to.

@SeaMaiden...your 2018 Fitness thread on Wellness is still up. I enjoyed reading the posts.
