Now, this is a question that Jack would never have thought to posit to us: If your uterus could sing to you, what song would it sing?

Hmmm..............

I Won't Dance ? (Well, it can't dance)

The Things We Did Last Summer ? ('cause I guess I did do everything with my uterus)......

Judy! Good fer you, out diggin' holes! Better than puttin' your fists through walls..... . .

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

So mods, how did this whole 'Scott reminding us to be polite' thing come about?

I'm assuming that neither he, nor you all constantly monitor all the threads, so does that mean someone had to actually waste their day looking for posts that they could call offensive just so they could run to dad and say "he's being mean to me!!"?

Are there really people who have lost site of the fact that this is a computer, and not real life? I just can't believe that's the case.

Jess,

Since I'm a mod I feel that I can answer this question with more accuracy than anyone else.....since afterall I was the one who made Scott aware of these posts.

So let me clarify this to all who are interested in how all of this came about.....so that there is no longer any confusion and so that we can all move forward.

First of all nobody wasted their day looking for offensive posts....do you really think I have time for that? I have never read this thread and I had no reason to believe that there were any offensive posts to be found. Also, as far as moderators go....I am probably the least aggressive when it comes to handing out warnings and such. I think all the mods can vouch for that. The majority of my time here is spent on researching, learning, sharing and trying to improve my health.

Some people consider me to be "cold" or have the impression that I have to be "right" or assume that I'm not open minded. However, as you stated....this is the computer and not real life. We are all free to come to our own conclusions about any individual...BUT...on this board there are rules which apply to everyone who posts here.

Bottom line...you dont have to like me....you dont have to agree with any of my opinions or beliefs. However, while posting on this board you do have to be respectful of ALL members....including me.

As I stated in my previous post here....I found those posts while doing a board search on Glutenease. Try it....you'll see that they do come up that way. As Scott mentioned...be aware that when you post things on this board they do remain here. Otherwise, I would have never had any knowledge that any of this occured....since up until now I had never read this thread.

I found those posts on the 10th....it had never crossed my mind to report them. As I stated, I'm not very aggressive with warnings....nor would I recieve any type of pleasure from handing them out. These posts were directed towards me. I'm a big girl....I can handle whatever type of nastiness people want to dish out. I try to move on from that type of negativity and direct my attention on more positive things.

After finding those posts I vented my feelings about a certain atmosphere on this board. A tolerance or acceptance of certain things and a lack of tolerance for other things. I used the topics of "GlutenEase" and "Bud Light" as an example of this in my post. I did not single anyone out...nor was I expressing anger at the time of my post. I was simply "amazed" that there have been so many contradictory behaviors on this board recently.

Also, I'm well aware that if I had been disrespectful to any member in ANY of my posts...it would be immediately reported. However, in this thread this type of offensive behavior seemed to go unnoticed. That part still has me kind of baffled.....considering it wouldnt have been tolerated in any other thread...and ESPECIALLY in the OMG thread.

So I expressed my concern in a couple posts and moved on....it was no longer on my mind. A couple days later it was brought to my attention that MY post in the OMG thread was reported by SEVERAL members. It was also brought to my attention that these members who have made the complaints feel that the OMG thread is very "cliquey" and has become increasingly negative and hostile.

I dont think any of the members posting there would agree. I dont think that the people who are participating in that thread and who are working very hard to regain their health would be there if they felt it was a hostile environment. I also dont think that they would appreciate being made fun of...in this thread...or any other thread.

The only person who knew that I had read those posts here in Tickle Me Elbow was ME. I had no desire to spread negativity around this board....I let it go.

However, after having to defend my own post (yet again) I decided that maybe only one side was being represented here. I'm not going to be continuously under attack...while on this thread there are offensive posts directed toward myself and others who participate in the OMG thread. So yes, in defense of my own post and in defense of everyone who is participating in that thread....I reported the posts I had found here in the Tickle Me Elbow thread.

I should have reported them the night that I found them....but as I stated that is not my nature.

So no Jess, I did not have to waste my time looking for offensive posts here. They actually found me.

I was already well aware of the offensive posts here on the 10th....when I posted in the OMG thread and was subsequently reported. And no...had I not been aware of these posts...I would have not went to this thread (or any other thread) looking for something to "retaliate" with. I would never even have imagined that I was being discussed openly here in the "silly" thread in a negative and hostile manner.

So thats how this whole "Scott reminding us to be polite" thing came about. I hope that clears it up for everyone.

Maybe now someone can answer the question of why those posts went unreported....and yet MY post (which wasnt directed toward anyone) was reported by SEVERAL members??

I think it goes back to whole "tolerance" "acceptance" thing which I mentioned earlier.

Anyways, the same rules apply to everyone...and hopefully we can move past this now and onto more productive things.

P.S.

I did post here once already...and I did mention that I had found those posts while doing a board search. I also mentioned that I would be reporting them. I also reported them (in the normal fashion) where all mods are aware of it.

So I'm not sure why anyone here would be unclear as to how Scott's reminder of board rule #1 came about. I thought I made it very clear in my first post.

hm, curious. I couldn't find them at all. I didn't look past the first couple pages, though.

You do realize that this rule applies to you as well?

[Jestgar]

I am not a mod any longer, but yes, I believe it may have been the case. Although I appreciate Scott's reminder to be nice, I think it should have been spread to some others on the board as well. I told him that.

Forgot to say thanks for clarifying that, Bev!

YAY!! Little Emily Silver's parents are on the front page of the weekend newspaper with huge proud smiles on their faces :D :D

I love my little town

Jess,

Also, as far as moderators go....I am probably the least aggressive when it comes to handing out warnings and such. I think all the mods can vouch for that.

Actually I have never warned a member on this board. I only report spam. I don't need to waste my time giving out warnings, everyone reads things a different way. If I reported everything I was "offended" by I might as well do that as a fulltime job instead of actually doing a job that benefits others.

Hey Everyone! I am at my moms. Allen is a cutie, and I will be updating the avatar as soon as I get in. He is a busy little child. I also slipped a line which is for us mature adults and he repeated it Woops! He will be the source of upcoming phunnies! .

[Jestgar]

Yes, a fine name, full of potential and promise and surely a joy to be around

[elye]

Well, a joy to be around, dunno about that, but .....y'know, it's the damndest thing.. . . .I'm just sitting here, very quiet........ . .. . . .and.........it's quite unmistakeable... . . . ......

....... .. . . . . ..I think I can hear my uterus singing to me...........

[blueeyedmanda]

:....... .. . . . . ..I think I can hear my uterus singing to me...........

Well clearly that is a talent mine has not mastered yet....we are working on Tap Dancing over in that organ

[Darn210]

....... .. . . . . ..I think I can hear my uterus singing to me...........

- What's the song? . . . and are you humming along and tapping your foot?

[elye]

- What's the song? . . . and are you humming along and tapping your foot?

.......Can't... . . . . quite... . .... . make it.........out...........

Give me a couple minutes...........

[Jestgar]

- What's the song? . . . and are you humming along and tapping your foot?

Maybe it's what Amanda's is dancing to. Some sort of communication not available to those of us with ears.

[Rachel--24]

hm, curious. I couldn't find them at all. I didn't look past the first couple pages, though.

I still have no problem finding them....although there are now more recent references to Glutenease preceding them.

You do realize that this rule applies to you as well?

Of course. It is not a violation of board rule #1 to have a strong opinion on any topic. Its not a violation to have differing opinions. I know for myself....I dont take heated debates or discussions personal. There are alot of people posting on these topics....a difference of opinion is to be expected.

Some people do take that personal.....however, having a difference in opinion is not a violation of board rule #1.

Making fun of the person (on a public forum) who does not agree with your views is disrespectful.

Actually I have never warned a member on this board. I only report spam. I don't need to waste my time giving out warnings, everyone reads things a different way. If I reported everything I was "offended" by I might as well do that as a fulltime job instead of actually doing a job that benefits others.

Well then....I guess we are equally unaggressive in handing out warnings.

I have never issued a warning in nearly 3 years of moderating on this board. I reported these posts because they were offensive. Even some who participated have agreed that they were offensive. I did not issue any warnings.

[blueeyedmanda]

Alright guys I am leaving now, tis getting late and there is 15 miles single lane construction along the way....love those PA interstates!

Did it allow you to fly, or otherwise imbue magic powers? If so, I'm on my way!!
