ORIGINAL: ProDomme >Truly interested people usually tend to post more than just one single post weeks ago, agreed< Post went up on the 8th, you hit it on the 9th. And I am almost sure you were thinking of posting sooner than you did. According to my calander there are 7 days per week, so said post would not have been "weeks" old. So therefore, I disagree. I made a reference in my reply, that the post infers the plan was backwards (seeking people vs. seeking info), and that is often referred to as trolling, especially with one total post on the board. For the record I did not say "your breaking the rules, quit trolling". Your opinion of what I said, or how I may have "hit" the post sooner or later seems to be somewhat biased (as you stated you figured you were sure of what I was thinking). quote:
What is astounding to me is that I made no implications as to who I felt guilty of the practice, yet look how it turned out ;) Your implications came in your subsequent posts, not really very astounding. quote:
I think you are wrong for attacking some of the posts, I think you should allow some of them to go without your input for a little more time than you do. As I have already stated, I have no issues with the obvious posts that merit reiterating the rules, hell they probably did not read them in the first place. Thank you for your biased opinion. From your comments throughout this thread, your bias is somewhat obvious, and your bias compells your opinion as self-fulfilling. You may have seen me in difference of opinion with other members, but you don't get the option of pushing the stereotype of "attacking" posts on me, sorry. Save that for the members who "attack" grammar, punctuation and spellling, or the effective use of the english language by the poster, versus the jist of the post... those welcomes are "attacks". quote:
I am also in agreement that I would hate to see "personal ads" in almost every thread. I however can see where some may come here with the thought that this is a place to do so. They link here from the main page, and possibly think this is a larger forum to put up what they want or do not want. Some in fact are blatantly disregarding the board rules, some have made honest mistakes. And when the honest mistakes are addressed in the way they sometimes are, hell I would not blame them for not coming back. Ditto what I said above concerning how posts are frequently "attacked" over grammar, punctuation and spelling... use of shorthand, etc. No, that's not me you see doing that kind of welcome treatment is it? So why compare my lack of patience for trolls to those here who bitchslap newbies over cosmetics? That's not really even fair, and entirely out of context. quote:
Again, only my opinions, but sometimes things are said too harsh or too quickly. I have a right to that opinion and you can twist it anyway you like. I brought it here to the lounge, because it was my opinion, and did not feel it belonged in general discussion. I know you will love hearing this, but IMHO, your opinion is somewhat biased and stereotyped as you have demonstrated in this thread. I tend to welcome trolls with reminders of the established rules here... I don't go around slapping newbies in the face and "attacking" them for word cosmetics. Those members are still here and their threads/posts also... please go read them again sometime, and let's give credit where credit is due. IMHO, much of the hostility you speak of towards newbies is not demonstrated on trolls, but demonstrated on new members who's word cosmetics do not sit well with other members here. All in all, I'm glad this whole thing came up actually. It is indeed time to set the record straight and place the treatment of newer members in the spotlight... trolls place themselves in the spotlight by intent/design, so their welcome treatment is expected. Perhaps it's time we all take a serious look at our approach shots, evaluate the post intent, what's inside of it... versus judge it by it's packaging? But it does seem that higher standards are expected from dominants, including mastering grammar, punctuation and spelling... a good wordsmith makes a good spindoctor, that's the right philosophy, right? Is that what we are all about here? I for one hope not! Inyouagain
