Would someone please tell me what this sign means. ^ I see several posters using it now.

It's a relatively new device to say ""ITA""

Exactly. The less said the better imo. Who I was is nobody's business unless I choose to tell them.

Now all we have to do is agree who we are all so passively talking about in each of our analyses, lol.

Somehow, I don't think we could come to said agreement.

Perspective, the new gray.

Exactly, Marianne.

How about pointing the fingers at ourselves instead of at others? I agree this conversation has been ongoing for years. As long as each of us thinks it's the other person who's creating the problem, or it's the other person who needs self-reflection and change, nothing will be different. Sure, we need to let the moderators know how we feel about the management ... that's always a good thing for customers to do. But unless we, as the forum members, alter our patterns the moderators alone can't make this a better place.

If we keep doing the same things and acting the same way, we're going to keep getting the same results, right?

If I want change, I probably need to change myself. Same is true for everyone. And unless we are an active, willing, part of the improvements, we'll be here 2 years from now in the same conversation. Or, perhaps, the community will be closed.

I know, I know ... I've said it all before. My comments, just like this thread topic, are "Déjà vu all over again," to quote the quirky wisdom of Yogi Berra.

I would rather be honest about who I was than to have people question who I was. That just muddies the waters, IMO.

Honestly goes a long way here. Once somebody comes back with a new name, it's only a matter of time before people start figuring out who it was. Then the accusations start...

That's just how I would handle it.

You can speak for yourself but you have no way of knowing who is being honest and who is not.

I was not speaking for myself. The post of mine you are quoting is in answer to those who suggest banned posters should state who they used to be prior to being banned. It seems doing do got some of them banned again.

Yes. However, I just wish I knew. LOL! I'm nosy that way....gets me in trouble ALL the time!!

I hope you take this in the spirit intended which is a joke on myself.

And, MomTo2Dogs, I knew there was a reason I liked you. A very good reason.

Kudos.
