Stupid Guest Tricks

Anna wrote:Sometimes, lurking is a good thing. You've been on the board for 4 months and have 1,600 posts which is more than most of the veterans on the board. I do love your enthusiasm but sense that you might be a tad overzealous. Many on here are castmembers and, during this time of year when we are all overworked with more hours than it seems humanly possible, we might be somewhat grumpier than usual. I know my tolerance level isn't what it usually is when I can get a little more sleep. The crowds are insane and SGTs are triple at this time of year.

I mostly read here and ocassionally comment if I have something to add. I also know that I certainly don't understand the total dynamics of this board so when in doubt, I just don't reply. Possibly, I have misspoken here.

I see, so I cant post because I joined a few months ago? I wasn't aware of some "seniority" rule. I get tired too, but I don't let a discussion board creep into real life. If I am not feeling up to snuff, I usually read a book. I know some people are overworked, I average a 60 hour work week at times, but am I to be held accountable because someone else is have a bad day, week, month or year? That smacks of an SG's reasoning" "I am having a bad time so it YOUR fault" Does that answer YOUR post?

I probably will be banned from here for my opinions and am so sick right now I do not care.

I am not a CM but have worked with the public and was for a long time friends with CMs.

The problem is that this site is about respecting people which many of us do not seem to get on the job. It is about respecting the wishes of other members. Not everyone wants to be part of sex, drinking or law breaking for example. The point is that when a person says no then that is it, no questions asked. I said no and you continued.

This site is like a family to me and dear friends here. I was comfortable here because there was respect and comraderie along with respect.

I just had it with being made to feel uncomfortable in that thread. Churchy does not drink but instead would be sailing to hawaii or playing pirates and swimming in Rivers of America or maybe using and ECV to ride Space mountain.

I will be around but my home here is not the same and I am cutting back. Not tears as I am here in spirit. Farewell until we meet tomorrow maybe if i am not banned.

hugs

No, that is not what I said. My point is this: if you are doing all the talking, you aren't doing much listening. Because you weren't listening to clues from other posters, you stepped on some toes. Just as in real life, most internet boards have a personality or a feel to them. You don't rush in like a bull in a china shop. You spend some time getting to know everyone by reading. Social cues are important in real life and on message boards. It's hard to pick up on them if you aren't listening and watching.

Now back to your reguarly scheduled thread about those who ramble on without really saying anything important or coherent...... :D: Personally I think that I need to know the answer to my question about what color the ferocious beast is. He looks a little bit orangey yellow with red spots but maybe it just my TV. Maggie's hair on the other hand is a horrendous shade of red. And that girl really needs some major relaxent applied. Those fly away curls are just way too out there. I wonder how many brushes her mother breaks in a week trying to get out all the snarls.

And since I am trying to get out of cleaning up the living room.........any volunteers?...........What is with that pig living in a cardboard box? Did he lose his real home to foreclosure or just decided that he would get back to nature by living outdoors closer to it? Besides that, how on earth does he get all that stuff in there? It cant be underground rooms because he can pick up the box and move it to where he wishes. He must be magical like Mary Poppins (it will come back to something Disney related at some point).

I got an Ipod for Christmas... and a new watch and a Bathrobe and pajamas!

(Now how to feed an Ipod what I want to hear!)


And Oh Look Susi nearly ran me over with her ecv! Heehee!

I got a new cutless for Christmas, and some GREAT blu-ray DVD's (Pirates anyone?)

Oh look, A baby wolf!!

Whatcha gonna feed those baby wolves? Better get lots of deer and moose for them... :p:


Oh look! Santa Ana winds!

RUM, as they can handle it, much like the elephants that Paris Hilton was protesting over!

The wolf reference is a movie quote.

Oh look, a baby wolf!

Yes, but there are no baby wolves around here... and they don't drink rum either. And ye misspelled Cutlass.

Now I am listening to one of the songs from Labyrinth on my Ipod... anyone know how long the power is stored for in their batteries?

Lalala Think this song is called "Sarah" and is instrumental...
