or that i try to think charitably and that helps me, yes.
> > i really do believe...

> > that he is interested in what we have to say.
> sure Dr. Bob requests input from the posters to his site. years of archives will show discussion over new ideas and features often go on for upwards of two years before any changes are made.right. sometimes... change can be slow. i'm sure that you appreciate that there is a difference between being interested in what people have to say and thinking that their idea would in fact be the best thing to do to profit the forums.
i mean... it can take a long while and there are many things to consider.
yeah change is slow.
> most ppl are not appreciative of being told what they need to be prepared to accept.
sorry didn't mean to be directive. just meant that you might find that your life goes a little easier and you feel a little happier if you try and give people the benefit of the doubt. sometimes the way we view the world and other peoples intentions... has an effect on the way the other people view us.
i mean... if i respect what you have to say then you are more likely to extend that courtesy back to me.
> again, the archives show YEARS of ppl working from within on board trying to change how this board is run.right.
and what changes did they suggest?
and would those changes benefit the forum as a whole?
those things need to be discussed...
and that is going to take time.> over time this site has shown that truth isn't always relevant to a situation and how it is handled. civility, as this site defines it, is relevant.
yeah.
because it is counter-productive to a supportive environment to have people judging or attacking or accusing other people.
and thus... people aren't supposed to do that.
regardless of the 'truth' of what they have to say.it might be true that i am ugly and fat
does that mean that it should be acceptable to the forum for you to say 'you are ugly and fat'
?

I believe Larry's block was unwarranted. And that's all I'm saying. Fondly, Phillipa ps how come a lot of posters in the past were allowed to question every post that was posted? And usually was successful in stopping the Thread. Leading me at times to be very hurt. So I then tried to not go to the Faith board. Now I do. Wonder why?

I want to book my days at the hostel I'm going to be staying at now.
Someone told me that hotels are filling up quickly and prices are rising.
Right now I'm thinking I will book
Saturday May 20
Sunday May 21
Monday May 22Do we think that we will do something after the APA meeting or before?
I will spend as many days there as others are spending.
Do people want to do something on Friday? What about Tues? I'm guessing Tues is probably not good for most people. I'm guessing most who come will make it a long weekend of Sat, Sun and Mon?
Deneb
P.S. Thanks so much Muffled for reminding me of the Babble Party. You are a life-saver.

Wait I'm confused.
Alex didn't post to her in the subject line.
So even if you don't post to the person in the subject line but say words meant for them, that they may or may not read, that's against the rule?
Just wondering....Voce

I know I enjoyed the last one immensely. I can't go this year, unfortunately.
Good luck with the planning, and I hope everyone has a marvelous time.

Larry and I are going to eat some raw oysters in Toronto because I've never had them before and I want to try them.
Does anyone else want to eat them with us? Will you eat them with us Dr. Bob?
What else should we do? Is it really going to be just me, Lar and Dr. Bob??
Let's do some fun things in Toronto. Wanna go to the CN tower? I went once. I felt bad then and wished I could jump off, but it's impossible because of the way they designed the fence there.
Wanna go to the Royal Ontario Museum?
What other fun things can we do? Will you have fun with us Dr. Bob?

Sorry again, I also meant to add:
Please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person. And I don't want anything bad to happen to you. In a crisis, please also get help in person.

If you go, I'll go. Bar nothing. We'll get ClearSkies, too, and GG. And Poet.
And then we can hide under the furniture and peek out at everyone else.
