A Place of Safety
I expect simple behaviours here. Friendship, and love.
Any advice should be from the perspective of the person asking, not the person giving!

.. as I'm seldom here anymore. I can't seem to "register" either; but that doesn't matter much either. In fac this is the first ime in some time that I've made an appearance here.

I just wanted to say .. I came back this morning because I was told about the apparent renewed bickering and in-fighting that seems to be occurring here. It would seem this is the case, as I note that on this, the first page, out of maybe 20 threads, some 10-or-more are dealing with lack of harmony or discord amongst the community here.

THIS IS BOGUS PEOPLE, and simply put not on!

"A Place of Safety" is supposed to be about fostering an environment of friendship and caring, and help freely given to all who ask for it, without any regard to our own self interest.

I may have my "valid" reasons for no-longer being a particpant here, and frankly don't look for me to become one again; but I do care about this Board and it's purpose, and will continue to recommend it to others who I know will benefit from its strengths.

Those of us who largley contributed to the much of the past disharmony and outright friction here are all but gone from here. All who remain should have been able to pick up the pieces and carry the ball, and move things forward. I see that has not been done, and I'm prompted to ask why?

Get your act together folks. Some of you may feel no further benefit from this Forum, but there are thousands of troubled youngsters out there, and many a tormented adult, who will. Are you not going to extend to them the same welcome that was accorded you in your time of need?

Think about it.

Speading dessention, and further the friction amongst this communities membership will not be, and is not, the welcome they should be receiving.

You are so absolutely right Warren The kids are insecure and lash out at any adult that talks strongly..What they cannot see is that this forum is for ALL people..Adults have as many doubts and insecurities as young people do,truth be told,sometimes its the young kids that drive the needful adults away..I am offended by the *lets party on* crap..This aint a drug den,and its not a party..This place should be a place of friendship and fraternaty,Not a kids chatterbox..Though its nice to hear about some of the goings on..Tims right when he says that this is real-life and not some play pen........rob....

You seem to have a problem with people who do not conform to your narrow standards of them... And even if they would, that probably still not be good enough... There is a good saying: "The man does not grow wiser with age, he merely grows more foolish".



You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me
OK this is highly offensive  [message #16948 is a reply to message #16941] Sun, 26 October 2003 10:17 Go to previous messageGo to next message

This "kids/adults" stuff will cease at once. Immediately. No discussion. Period.

Extra posts instructing people to do things devalue the progress that has been made and simply allow the instigator of the "Adults/kids" divide that does not exist to spout things that are hgetting him very close indeed to stepping across the wire that says "go"!

Warren, coming back to preach is not my idea of comradeship. Come back with pleasure, but not to add to the dissent, however righteously.

Want a separate adults board? I gave it to you. On a plate. http://www.voy.com/164797/

Feel you can't cope with more erudite kids? http://www.voy.com/164797/

Dislike being shown up by kids? http://www.voy.com/164797/

Want to run your own board? http://www.voy.com/164797/

Only post there and you don't come back here for a month. Period.

I have had enough of bickering, sniping, bullying, hectoring, self opinionated, imbecilic, divisive, and plain pathetic posts. Behave well or go. http://www.voy.com/164797/ it's yours. Password is "egotist". First egotist there gets to change it and make it his own disaster area.
