I'm so sorry about the forums incident, that's one of the reasons I don't even bother with them. Good for sticking yourself out there for the person that needed some help. Good for not putting up with everyone elses whiny crap, and way to eloquently state in your blog your frustrations with something so seemingly simple, yet so complex! I'll be back around :)Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685717416701883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-85738659788159626012009-10-20T08:46:30.023-07:002009-10-20T08:46:30.023-07:00Alex, it's all good.

And I will think next time before publicly supporting anyone. It wasn't anyone's business besides mine and the person who needed help and shouldn't have been up for public scrutiny in the first place, you know?<br /><br />A lot of people who helped out that person were given more than enough garbage in return for their charity by complete strangers whose business it really wasn't anyways. Unreal how it can be sometimes, but I guess it is part and parcel with this new technological, largely anonymous age we have ushered in...Ajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528201977342810621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-30562435916285349172009-10-20T08:21:10.766-07:002009-10-20T08:21:10.766-07:00i've tried to join the forums on several occas...i've tried to join the forums on several occasions, but it just doesn't seem to work out for me. i'm sorry you had such a tough time yesterday.alexkellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573543520434276913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-45957263716047064392009-10-20T07:18:49.906-07:002009-10-20T07:18:49.906-07:00Aww Helen, I am glad to have "met" you t...Aww Helen, I am glad to have "met" you too,as well as, of course, the rest of you guys! :)<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I do so love the friendships I have cultivated in this online world...my issue obviously is with the asshats, who seem to outnumber the good folks 10-1 ;)Ajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528201977342810621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-70459895484899599172009-10-19T20:42:38.616-07:002009-10-19T20:42:38.616-07:00Aja,

Because really, I have enough in my life, and dont want to be associated with that kind of nonsense. I say good on you, for being who you are, and extending kindness to someone, because you felt it was the right thing to do. I am sorry it turned out that way.<br />I am also sorry to know that Esy, with all it's good, has this kind of element. And I wonder how many others has it pushed away, or turned off? it hurts us all, in the long run. It is afterall, a place of business.<br />thanks for being you,<br />and happy painting!<br />xoxoox<br />Jennstop stealing my stuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042691967982226890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-79510337449112955262009-10-19T11:27:31.524-07:002009-10-19T11:27:31.524-07:00I am sometimes amazed by what I read in the forums...I am sometimes amazed by what I read in the forums.

It's no one's business. Sometimes, people just seem to enjoy picking fights for no apparent reason. <br />I never understood fighting in the forums. It's like fighting with make-believe creatures.<br />Most etsy people are kind-hearted and quick to help one another. It's one of the things I love most about the site.

I wish everyone would be a little nicer simply because it's the right thing to do, you know? The world is already full of enough hate. Why should we as individuals contribute to the negativity? I dunno. I know my post doesn't really help...it was more the pondering of a caffeinated Etsian/twitterer/blogger tired of the nastiness :PAjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528201977342810621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-25561195580737650102009-10-19T07:47:40.157-07:002009-10-19T07:47:40.157-07:00I avoid the forums.

Sales are low so people lash out. it's sad and I for one, am done with the forums. done.Comfortable Shoes Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626652296408040642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832282615332664429.post-87889974064077150782009-10-19T07:41:06.026-07:002009-10-19T07:41:06.026-07:00Good for you.

You can get your head snapped off in a New York minute for the most ridiculous reason. And I've been thinking for a while now how sad it is that "what happens in Etsy, DOESN'T stay in Etsy" any more. Yup, it spills over into Twitter, onto blogs...viral, for sure! And the petty arguing and the I'm-more-right-than-you-in-42-different-ways gets tiring.<br /><br />The other day I tweeted "agreeing to disagree is an option, you know". It makes sense to me. I'll keep helping people in the forums because I like to. Did you know Slavko? I try to be nice to other Etsians because of him. <br /><br />I think I may be rambling - sorry. Thank you for your brave post.feltontheflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827986987301167123noreply@blogger.com
