      If people have a problem with me or not! 😯 If its something big and I have just totally offended or step out of line, then I would like to know… but if I just annoy you? Keep that to yourself 😆 That could be so many people for so many reasons.

      Ah, yeah, that makes sense. 😆 Of course it’s hard to argue against you anyway, you being member with the most posts and time on this forum and something of a queen of the hill…

        I think it just makes me a bigger target. 😆

        #548332

        That’s one way of looking at it! 😆

        Well, I hope I haven’t stuck my foot in my mouth recently. I’m oblivious, and alot of times I say things that are taken the wrong way. Even when I appologise I end up sounding like I’m not sorry when I’m truely sorry that my words were taken wrong. I don’t have a problem with anyone on this forum really. I’m sure that there are some of you that have a problem with me. So, really I’m sorry if I have offended anyone recently that I don’t know about. Please if I have offended then PM me and I’ll try to work it out, I would rather know then have someone hating me and being cold towards me.

        (There is one that I know I haven’t appologised for, I should have but, I feel now it’s too late. My feelings were very hurt and it took me awhile to get over it. I’m very sorry about that. If a certin someone is reading this just know that I’m sorry and if you can forgive me? I don’t expect you to but, it would be nice to be shown mercy. No pressure though, I wouldn’t be surprised if you never forgive me. 😥 )

          Ditto all that for me too. Please let me know if you have a problem with me. I’d love the chance to work it out.

          Just so you all know, I don’t have a problem with any one on the forum either, including BTs (even though I was harsh on the other thread – I was just sore, sorry). I look at all the lovely things I got from them and sigh in happiness. And I’ll probably get more. *Looking at steg and hatching maiasaur and mother emerald coiled, wondering if CC could take it :)*

            When did everyone get mad at BT?? I missed that while I was gone…

            Also…this IS a forum with LOTS of members…and we’re getting more everyday. With this many people in one place, we are bound to run into those that we will find obnoxious. We’ve always said till now that this is one of the best communities on the net, and how we’re all so nice and welcoming and laid back…I hate to say it, but the more people we get, the more likely that is not to necessarily be true, I think. We’ve already seen a decline in the warm fuzzies just in the past month. 🙁 We’ll have to work at keeping this place friendly from now on if we want it to stay that way.

              Ski…you’re the best who could possibly not like you….

              but in my case I was offended and annoyed….and annoyed to me is kind of a big deal it takes a lot to annoy me…

              other wise I would not have said anything…and I have stated what bothers me over and over…

              hence the thinking this person lives in a fog…because they just don’t see it…

              but I just skip the things I not longer want to see

                I know what you mean. I try to ignore things too, I am just not as good at it. I dont know about anyone else, but when I get in a tiff on here, I actually have trouble sleeping. I really need to get a life!! 😆

                  I tried to not let it bother me past being on here…..but I did get to a point where it kind of tarnished the whole coming on here….

                  I did’t paint for several days….and have decided there are so many pieces I could live without…

                  I think part of the problem may be when you are communicating through the internet there is NO body language to rely on. Until I joined this forum I hadn’t realized how much I rely on body language to tell if a person is joking, serious, annoyed etc. The emoticons help but there is nothing that replaces being able to see a person’s expression or hearing their tone of voice while talking. There have been comments made that I took to be joking but other people took seriously (and vice versa). So I read everything trying to keep an open mind.

                  That said, if I have offended anyone I apologize. I try hard not to hurt people’s feelings but sometimes I seem to manage it without even trying. 😳

                  #548340

                  That is true DDVM. It is hard to tell when people are joking if they don’t use the emocticons.

                  Also I would like to chime in and say that if I have done/said anything to anyone and it hurt their feelings then I would like to say sorry. Almost always, I am joking and I like to have a good time. If I have have hurt you in anyway, then please send me a PM. All I ask is to explain it to me nicely and hopefully we can work thru it.

                  Just because you can say that makes me like you, Ski. 😆

                    This is a great way of dealing with things that annoy or irritate you! I wish everyone could do this. 🙂
