I got a Pm today calling out My posts.  No big deal, but if she was really trying to help she should not have been so bitchy.  And a full response would be helpful.  She quoted "a lot of others are pissed off at my posts for pushing the envelope.  And She would never see me or others like me.  Again not a problem for me.

I got a note from admin a while back when I posted my post about golf, wing house, and falling asleep at the bar (at my house, btw).  Yes, it was inappropriate for this board, but I didn't have any idea it would get some people pissed off.  I just did it to explain my absence from the board all day, maybe I should have elaborated some.  Oh, well you can't please everyone.

I agree with what you said too, that if she was trying to help you, why be bitchy about it?  Besides, most posters that piss people off don't care if they do or not, they are just stating their feelings or opinions.

Now, why am I not surprised? More importantly, why are you surprised? You shouldn't be.

Some of your posts and responses to post on TER are rather strange. I wouldn't call it "pushing the envelope", I would call it lack of common sense. Nothing against you but obviously there are more than a few people here who share my view. If someone took the time to send you a PM calling you out, good for them. Maybe they are just trying to help you. Everyone is welcome to post and speak their opinions. Just think before you post.

Sometimes you open a post and it's not exactly what you thought it would be. The subject title did get you to read something you might have passed in the end. I just read many of your posts and found no problem at all with your approach towards expressing yourself. Your not afraid to open conversations that others might not approach. Conversation is what should keep any forum going

Is it better to voice an opinion in private via a PM or do it in a post under something you felt was not interesting or pertinent to this board or possibly had no value ? I have had many similar types of PMs a while back and it's tough to swallow but I guess we all have our opinions.

it really irritates me that sooo many people worry about what other's do and say then worry about themselves.

I love this board because everyone is welcome to voice their own opinions. However, I, like a lot of people, read posts and evaluate for ourselves if the poster is starting trouble, bored, maybe just a little emotionally unstable at the moment or really trying to be helpful. I think most of us can come to our own conclusions and decide if that person is someone we want to associate ourselves with.

I can't tell you how many times I have gotten pm's (usually from another provider) offering me unsolicited advise over the years.  Eventually I had to tell that individual to worry about themselves and not what I do.  

In reference to this thread though, I believe if the person really wanted to be helpful then she should have done it in a nice way. However, I still stand by...she shouldn't have said anything at all...again jmho..

Just keep being you and don't worry about it...
