Here's a bizzare thing..........................

A bunch of People frequent a works Social Club in Bristol. If they are attracted to - or find some attractive etc - they are regarded as professional Peers attracted to each other - but only some are regarded like this. Others are told they are wrong to be seeing it like that, and those they find attractive are suddenly considered as Children - even if they are all around the same age.................an age where the consumption of Alcohol and Tobacco is completely legal - and same for Sex amongst Adults, being paid adult Wages, working adult hours etc. This very very wierd Regime is at work in this Area and I would like to know why - and for how long - it has happened. There are more Connotations to the Steel Pulse Song than many realise!

The warning has been there for quite some time now. We came up with that idea to try to AVOID problems like this. We tried to word it as clearly as possible, so that as many people as possible could comprehend it. Not sure how much clearer it can be made

Still we have people uploading pictures of their cars, nude women you name it. I'd like to add one of those little red explosion buttons that could zap users who don't pay attention to it, but Mike hasn't found a way to be able to do that yet

POINT BEING If this Administrator had of pointed this photo/Avatar clearer ( Which I might add appears NO WHERE in member joining info which I read) I would have offered an apology and changed this in the first email. To which was informing me that my pic had been deleted. I accepted this. I was purely browsing round when i stumbled upon civilized debating, it was then I realised others had a variety of pics that seemed to be allowed. So I uploaded a simple cross as i assumed the TEXT on previous pic was why this was deleted?? When I recieved the second email in this tone WHICH WAS RUDE AND TOTALLY UNREASONABLE. I was Offended AND STILL YOU PEOPLE NIT PICK AT LITTLE ISSUES???? I CLICKED SOLVED ON THIS THREAD NOT OUT OF DEFEAT>> PURELY OUT OF SELF RESPECT WHICH YOU ALL SEEM TO LACK.. NO BODY HAS THE RIGHT TO EMAIL ANYBODY WITH THAT SORT OF ARROGANCE SHE SENT> WHY NOT INFORM THE PERSON TO CONTACT THEM IF ANY DIFFICULTIES UNDERSTANDING THE PHOTO RULES>>>>>> THATS HELPFUL????HUH???

IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE DELETING MY ACCOUNT.
P.S EXCUSE ME FOR NOT POSTING A THREAD FOR A PROBLEM THAT WAS SOLVED BEFORE I JOINED AND ALSO FOR LOOKING AROUND.. OMFG HOW CHILDISH? OUT OF HERE LAUGHING AT THE PATHETIC ATTITUDES ON SOME PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE THE HIDE TO "QUOTE" HELPFUL" HAHAHAHAHAHAH
I guess you missed the rules about SHOUTING as well? and the foul language disguised in your post.

Ok, I'm going to bite on this.....just because we're in a debate forum here, but, you obviously didn't read that part about having THICK skin when you post in here either. Seems you just want to overlook the rules you like to break, but, an issue like me posting your email address was pounced upon immediately, even though you never acknowledged that you posted mine from the beginning, thereby creating yet ANOTHER rules violation.

If you are serious about the wording that was on your cross, then, pray tell, why didn't you simply ANSWER my email????????????????????? Instead you chose to upload the same thing, in a different way. How does that look? To me it looks like absolute defiance of a reasonable request. I indicated the picture had to be of you, so, what do you do? You upload the cross again, yet again, disregarding the RED LETTERS advising against this

My follow up email asking you what part of my last email you didn't understand was more than reasonable again. Then you shot back your "nice" email to me, with all of your wrong assumptions and accusations regarding my user photo.

Also, just as an FYI to all, Karen, Laura and I take 3 month turns at recieving what we call the "welcome" emails. (Well, we call them other things at times but, I won't post that here ) --- and those include notifications of anyone who uploads, or CHANGES their user photo. We get one email for EACH attempt at this. I believe I had at least 5 for MS SOUL the first time, and another 3 or 4 for the second upload. You guys do the math

And by the way, it's mostly a thankless unpaid job...........

you're clean, candy........
there's only one person who's missing the humor in this example of how a simple mistake can bring on the end of (her) world....

seems to me that whatever is to be learned here has a lot do with being offended when someone brushes up against the chip on one's shoulder.

ain't nothin' to be done about that, sadly

ya know, as a mod, there are i times i wish i was as all powerful as an administrator....then i go to the mod forum and listen to the rudeness, the callousness, and all the other wierd junk they regularly treat with patience and understanding, and i'm grateful i only have deal with all you folks.....

everybody loses it sometime....everybody makes mistakes....but if you lose it before you've even found it....well, is says something about who ya are, imo....
