wow, that guy went a little nuts to a very valid question.

Well, if I got hit with that question, I wouldn't have taken it well. I may not have said anything in reply, at least openly. However I do think it was poorly worded, and open to misinterpretation.

Of course, this place is full of calm heads, and easy going people who react to these events like water off a duck's back.

Seriously?

Who? And more importantly, have they been diagnosed as insane yet, because I think they need to be checked, pronto.

Apparently so.
I don't know who, although I'll admit I do have my suspicions...

shrugs

...but nevertheless, you can rest easy knowing that whoever they are, they're out there, doing their 'duty' and warning new people. So we're all good.

puts two thumbs up

Perhaps so, M13 however, the written word is always open for different people to interpret things according to their personalities.

No, I saw nothing that said it was a private thread. I saw something that caught my eye and asked something that was on my mind. Didn't he think it was lazy or uncreative to name his characters all the same name? I've read his work. He is creative, each of his characters have their own personalities, so why not take that extra step to give them each their own name? Doesn't his co-writers deserve that consideration? Was I being malicious? No. At least not to my mind but then, even my words are open to interpretation. *shrug* Such is life. Do I owe him an apology? I don't feel so. I'm sorry he got all butt hurt over it though. It wasn't my intention to start some mini thermal argument there. Frankly, if someone had asked the same of me, in the mansion, I would have handled it different, but that's me. He reacted as his personality warranted. Simple. That he responded as he did, told me something of his personality, which was filed away in my mind and further cemented certain things in my mind about the diversity of interpretations.
 
LT... The world, whether here or real life or another board, matters not where, is filled with people of differing opinions and differing personalities... It is also filled with people who voice their opinions differently. That is just the way it is.
 
LT... We are all adults here (at least I certainly hope we are)... and we all will have a different opinion about subjects, writing styles, everything. And I would hope that those opinions can be expressed, and commented on. And lastly, this is a public board... so in the end, any and all threads posted here are public, no matter what the title. That simple.

True.

But amongst adults shouldn't there also be a certain degree of respect, or am I expecting too much by hoping for that?

Of course there should be respect. But people earn respect. I certainly do not "respect" everyone who posts on Lit, sorry.

I don't see what either DW or I said in LW's thread as disrespectful at all. Sure, I made a snide comment about him getting his panties in a twist, but I am a sarcastic bitch at times. And he was getting into a twist and I called him on it. He's a big boy, I am sure he can handle it. As he did. Again, personalities. It's how we get to know one another. Suffice it to say he will not want to write with me, and I do not want to write with him. So, lesson learned.

Are we going to have to start worrying about comments being made? Are we going to have to worry now that we are going to "step on someone's toes" because perhaps we make a comment in a thread, or don't agree with said person? This is an adult forum, I should not have to worry about what I post outside of being downright cruel (and people's definitions of cruel vary as well I am sure)... Yes, respect is nice, and yes, we are adults. But we could now argue what constitutes respect. Again, it is perceived differently, person to person...


Again, we are all varying personalities out here. As we are in life. We can't all get along perfectly, that would be much too boring.
 
Oh, and I do want to add as an afterthought, there are a few people here that I do respect. I have been on and off LIT for years (varying names) and Brit, you are one of those people that yes, you have earned my respect. As has DW.. and others...
 
And.... another afterthought..... Respecting someone... their opinion, their writing style, their imagination, etc.... does NOT mean you HAVE to always agree with that someone!!!

*gasp* My spice cake just went into the oven. Oh... different cake.

To go kill things in Diablo III and watch squishy bits fly OR grind rep in WoW. Decisions. Decisions.

When I gave up caffeinated (not by choice) coffee, I have to remember not to try and drink a whole 24 oz. diet pepsi. The caffeine wasn't a good choice. *twitch*

Mmm, cake!
I'm testing recipes for Mini Brit's birthday tea part next weekend. A chocolate orange cake (different from the one made the other day) is waiting to be tasted.

grins

Need to get the chocolate to orange ratio correct.

Layla, I agree with what you said for the most part in all of the posts you made above. But one thing I do not agree with. You are correct in that when something is posted on a public forum it is, by definition of being accessible by the entire public, well.....'public'. But just because it can be seen by the public at large does not mean that the public at large was invited to comment.

I think the nature of that particular thread's title indicated well enough that it was intended for his use, not as a general discussion thread.

Maybe it all comes down to what each of us as individuals considers the etiquette to be, but in my own case, which is all I can answer for, if I don't know the person, haven't interacted with them in other places, and I get the impression that it's their thread for their own use alone, I will not post there unless invited to do so explicitly, or generally, by virtue of the thread being described as 'open', or generally, by virtue of being friends with that person prior to my posting there.

That's me though. I guess people are different, so others may have different opinions on what is okay or not okay.

I think you really hit it on the head here Layla. Nothing that Cait said in her first post was openly inflammatory, she simply pointed out a very true fact. She explained herself after he started to get angry and instead of being adult about it he chose to escalate things because he wanted her to apologize for a perceived slight.

Heh I've never heard anything of the sort from anyone, and certainly never thought it myself. I've always thought very highly of you, Mrs. Witch. You are one of the few people here who works diligently to treat everyone with kindness and you pretty much brighten every thread you touch.

Unfortunately there are many here who are very disrespectful. The guy was totally in the wrong for starting the confrontation, but there was no need for a whole group of people to run in and fan the flames, and keep it going. Some people came in just to get a chance to throw scathing remarks because they enjoy that.

The situation was between DW and him and should have stayed that way. Cait is a strong, beautiful, intelligent woman who is more than capable of putting some poor schmuck who steps wrong right in his place.

Respect is something you will find in short supply here, there are those who love nothing more than to create drama so they have a reason to spew hate. I do not know you, but I get the feeling you are not of that sort, but yeah if you get on the wrong side of the status quo here they will get in your business, double deal, well the list goes on but you get the general idea. This place is tremendously different than it was even 6 months ago. A lot of people have left because of all the toxicity.

I sincerely hope that your experience here does not fit the situation I have described as I do not wish that on you. You seem like a pretty delightful individual, I am only speaking from personal experience, and from what I have seen.

Snickers, watching Cait twitch and do cartwheels.

Oh that must have been hell on you to give up caffeinated coffee. Poor dear.
