WTH?

[LouiseC 1,031]

You're about to get flamed.

Heh, no. People may attempt to flame but that shite simply has no impact on me and only serves to show others up to be immature and overly self involved :-)

I strive for authenticity. Saying thank you felt right after seeing the self entitled demonstrate their ungratefulness. So if people want to try and flame me for showing gratefullness and being true to my own principles? Good luck to them.

I still walk away happy in my self and with my choices.

LousieC,

I'm sensing you might be a tad upset by my comment...

Alex is my hero! He's like superman I've said it many times!

Let's clarify things....

We will never charge our members for membership to our community. Regular membership will always be free!

We're planning to offer a premium membership option in the future. This membership would include no ads on the site or apps, free eBook downloads, upgraded food and weight trackers, more storage and other premium options.

I hope this clarifies things.

Thanks for the heads up! Out of curiousity, may I ask as to when we can expect the launch of the new membership? Sounds like you all are making it worth the little extra. (although hard to tell until we know the cost.)

Thanks for the excellent work you all do!

No, not upset. This is a forum, I come here for information exchange and get about as much emotional reaction to what I read here as I would visiting the library.

I find that sad. I have experienced many emotions here when sharing and listening to people's experiences..

I have also read a great many books in the library. Books that have elicited an emotional reaction or two..

I truly care about many people here and will be their cheerleader on this new life.

I, too, find many things sad. Such as the sense of entitlement I saw in this thread and the petty, immature nonsense and flaming attempts i have seen. So perhaps I didn't express myself well. I don't get upset or bothered or angry or irate etc by stuff I read here. Moved, sometimes. Sad, sometimes. Upset? Nope. Strong emotional reaction? Not so much.

But then, I use this forum for information exchange, I don't find I need to seek the support etc here that others clearly need. I have an amazing family, great friends and a full on and demanding career. I get most or all of those support needs met there. I am blessed and grateful for that.

I don't come here for the support etc like many others appear do so it also makes sense that I don't seek the emotional connections that others seem to seek from these online interactions.

It is not that I view others as wrong for seeking something different, far from it, I view it as normal. But it does help others to understand not everyone turns to these forums for the same thing. We all come here with different and/or varying needs. It is wrong to assume that those others asking, responding, and reading the forums here are all going to react the same.

:-)

Vive Le Difference!

Edited to add- and if I was at the library and someone was really rude to the librarian, I would probably react the same way as I did here. Apologise to the librarian for someone else's rudeness and be sure I was grateful to the librarian for their service. Maybe that means I would be hero worshipping the librarian, but who cares? I do what i believe is right and strive for authenticity in my interactions. I may have a 'how rude!' respnse, but, trust me, I am not upset by it. I leave the library and carry on having a great day.

Thank you. It is very sweet of you to say.

My Louise,

Such a lengthy response! See?? you do care!

You are most definitely right we all come here for different reasons.

I realize some need support and some want to give support and others like you, just want to stick to getting and giving information..

And I do agree in your librarian analogy, it would be disappointing to see someone mistreat the librarian and i would most definitely show my gratitude to her also!

But if I saw someone asking the librarian, what I saw as a silly question? I would not go so far as to belittle or make fun of that person for what i might perceive as a lack of knowledge. Or apologize to the librarian for what i might perceive as that persons lack of knowledge..

I am not in the business of judging..

Anyway I hope you do indeed have a nice day!

I have two coral tanks calling my name! So off to testing and Water changes

Bye!

Thank you. It is very sweet of you to say.

This brings back my college days when I was required to take Greek Mythology. For the life of me I couldn't understand why or where I would correlate it in my future. Now, I know. You are a classic example.

Greek mythology is not as good a teacher of the subtleties in the art of sarcasm as a contemporary Glaswegian childhood.
