Apotheoun Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Jan 3 2005, 05:22 PM'] Well, I'm just wondering what you see as spam. I am not sure what your original objection was. In other words, I don't know anyone who has a clickable sig other than Raph... as for the ipod threads etc. I just ignore it... [/quote] I ignore those ipod threads too.

Tink Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I never made it personal, that would be you, introducing your story of frustration and anxiety. I merely stated a problem that I've noticed is very common on these boards. Sorry, didn't mean to start a catastrophic event. As previously mentioned, spam can be ignored.
Brother Adam Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) "Honestly, I think a lot of the people on these forums, you included, need to lighten up" You honestly expect that won't get a negative response? When you start pointing fingers at specific people it gets personal. All I said was "First we have whole threads about "win free money" "get your free ipod" and now people are using thier signatures for SPAM. When does this end" I never said "him" or "her" or "you" needs to stop. I kept everything generic. "As previously mentioned, spam can be ignored." It's not about ignoring it, its the principal that people come here because it is not here. If I want SPAM I'll open another Hotmail account or go to msn.com. It has no place here. Especially when people visit who might get sucked into it. I can see it now "I lost my house when I went to phatmass and signed up to get a free ipod and someone stole my identity and credit card information." Edited January 4, 2005 by Brother Adam

[/quote] It's not about pointing fingers, it's the principle that this is a forum for lighthearted conversation between brothers and sisters united in LOVE. If I want people being intolerant about minor details and arguing about things left and right that really don't matter (not exclusively you, but many), I can open up any other secular forum NOT focused completely and utterly on Jesus Christ. It has no place here. I can see it now "I went to phatmass and all I saw were people complaining and whining and arguing about the most insignificant details possible." Sorry to be so cynical, but tha's how I see it. It's the same gist. No need to start another argument, I won't be posting on this thread anymore. Sorry for causing trouble.
Brother Adam Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 What you see as minor and trivial others don't. I see it as a big deal. If all you can do is attack the person then you are right, you shouldn't post on a thread like this. This forum was never meant for only light issues. Because you have focused on the person and not the issue this has been one of the worst threads I've ever seen here. HSmom and I even tried to get things to lighten up with our "great balls of fire" posts.
picchick Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I really didn't know that it bothered anyone that much. All someone needed to do was to tell me. I would of rathered they PM'ed me though than start a huge disagreement like this. Meg
Tink Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 well excuse me for attempting to apologize! And great balls of fire was traumatic. We did it in show choir a few years back. *chills*
cmotherofpirl Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 All right people. I am not in a great mood tonight so to save myseslf further trouble the thread is closed. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
