Introduction BabyBlues
I feel I should step in here as I have been an active topic is parts of this conversation. I guess I should start by going through a few things mentioned.
QUOTE (Babyblues) |
The only reason I did is because I saw Bwren post in there a couple of times before he and Cherry had gotten married. |
I guess to better explain myself for these posts is to clarify that my marriage to Cherry is actually my second marriage. I can not recall at the moment as to if I have ever mentioned that on any of my previous posts on the boards but I have regretfully gone through a divorce in the past. Unfortunately the selection on the profile information only let me choose at the time to have either engaged or divorced but not both even though they both did apply.
QUOTE (Babyblues) |
I believe that if a rule is going to be enforced for one person, then it needs to be enforced for all. |
I completely agree with this and I want to apologize for adding to the confusion. I do not want to be seen as above the law in any way.
QUOTE (Babyblues) |
As a moderator, should you not be an example? |
This is a completely true statement but I feel that it would be unfair to specifically call this down as a moderator only rule. I believe EVERY member and moderator should follow this to their best ability as every new member that joins us in discussion is actually looking for a good example from every active member. I believe that it is for this reason that moderation is taken as seriously as it is.

QUOTE You are also resorting to name calling, which I do not appreciate I said your reaction was overlysensitive and immature...
|
Babyblues, I truly do not believe that LDS meant any disrespect towards you at all. I believe that she was more simply attempting to give you her honest opinion of your reaction in this instance. I hate to see the two of you not seeing eye to eye as you both have much in common with one another from what I have seen from the two of you around the boards.
QUOTE (Babyblues) |
On top of that, if there is an issue with a member, shouldn't it be brought to them privately? By posting this publically, I could assume that you are trying to make me look bad in front of other people. |
First of all I would like to point out that I do not see this as being an issue with a member as you put it. This is merely an issue with a single post. As far as being approached publicly on the boards rather than privately is actually a rather simple idea. This is not an attempt to make you look bad and I hate to know that you feel as if it is but I just want to point out that every time a bot corrects a post or deletes a post it is also addressed publicly. This is not meant to brand the member in any way but rather remind them of the policies as well as teach or remind any other member that might have made the same mistake in the future.
QUOTE (Babyblues) |
I think I will ask that the money I have been creditted (might I add the money that I nearly broke my account to give to you two to help you, only for both of you to turn around and begin attacking me) be creditted to Bwren. He is an example of what a true moderator should be. He sets a good model. |
I do thank you for all of the kind words and praise. I do highly appreciate it. I am happy to know that I have set a good impression with my time spent here on the boards. I say that I am even flattered for lack of better words.
QUOTE (LDS_Forever) |
If the community is causing you so much distress, you know what to do. |
I have to agree that there is nothing online including this community that is worth any pains, worries, or even your health so I would understand if you were to choose a different avenue with your free time. I do hope that you consider sticking around or at the very least stopping by to say Hi and share your experiences from time to time. I feel that you have been a very inspiring member as I have really enjoyed reading about your experiences and opinions.
Now for my actual post:
I hate that you are having such a hard time recently as I know that today's conversation was not the first that has made you feel uncomfortable. I do hope that you
find reason enough to stay around. After all, who else is going to join me in the
chat room because they see me there alone? As far as real life situations go I hope that all is well. I know that you and your fiancee have moved your wedding date up towards the end of this year. I wish you two the best just in case I do not have a chance to tell you again. I know you were having a bit of stress related to your summer promotion which I hope has some what settled down as you have enough going on attempting to plan your wedding without your mom as well as everything else that summer tends to pile on. God Bless you as I will continue to keep you in my prayers these coming months.
