As it was you were all quick to judge me after I questioned the appearance of an otherwise meaningless standalone post, angie = let she without sin cast the first comment  |
BigLew: I do not intend to further inflame the issue, but I also inferred a very negative connotation from your initial post. The post struck me as being blatantly contrarian to Angie's message in particular, and to the recent wishes to return to civility expressed by many posters.
You state above that you questioned the appearance of an otherwise meaningless standalone post. OK, I accept your word at face value and I APOLOGIZE for my poor behavior by complimenting Angie for her response to you. My apology is sincere.
An observation: if your question was posed a bit less pointedly, maybe written something along the lines of, "I don't quite understand your message, Angie. Would you clarify your intent?", I know that I would have interpreted your intonation differently. I presume that Angie and others would've also.
Angie: I agree with other posters...no quitting just because you hit a bump in the road. So you're not perfect..oh well. None of us will blow your cover to Oren (I recall that Oren stated sometime in the past that he is married to you...if not OOOPS! Sorry). Dust yourself off and get back here right now! If not, we will miss your humor and your various Betty Boop avatars!
PTurner: Your reset idea is the perfect solution. A reset could serve as a re-callibration of TOTV as we collectively learn and grow from the pains of the past few weeks.
One thing that sets TOTV apart from most other forums is that its 18000 or so members- posters and lurkers all- have one unifying thing in common: almost all of us want to live here and all of us have a deep interest in what goes on here.
Consequently, TOTV creates a familial connection between and among its members. The strength of that connection often grows into lasting friendships through meet & greets, crispers monthly reunions, and social activities.
I concur with sentiments of other posters in the other current and kind of related post: Let's get everyone back, push reset for all of the dark, bad, and negative recent occurrences, and move forward.
Reset...another word for a "do-over" which is what my non-golfer friends call a mulligan...mulligan, the perfect word for TOTV.
I call a muilligan...anyone else?
