Hatchet Job

November 03 2009

My effort to turn a negative into a positive......   Over the last week or so there have been a couple of instances where what I believed were personal and unwarranted comments aimed at me in the public forums. These made me very angry and hurt and anyone who knows me would know that I don't take a backward step in those circumstances....often bringing down the whole house when a simple repair might solve the problem. Think Bull in a China Shop.   On reflection and after many discussions and a good sleep on it  I want to apologise for any upset I caused to anyone.   Trust me, nobody was more upset about the whole bloody mess than me. I want to stress that I didn't owe an apology then....though perhaps I do now. I didn't start it....but if an apology finishes it...then that sits well with me.   I could apologise privately but I want everyone to know how sorry I am that the whole thing escalated the way it did.   I will always stand up for what I believe in....however, if the same thing happened again do it privately and not in the forums where others both for and against me got it in the neck. Yep I do have a healthy ego....which has taken a very long time to get back after some years of personal trauma that left me in the gutter literally, having to start all over again.   I love the forums. I love helping. I love contributing. I nearly walked away but what does that do ?   So, today, I bury the hatchet.....in the interests of moving forward.   But, there should always be guardians in these unmoderated forums, on the lookout for attacks that are unneccessarily personal....everyone should be welcome, opinions varied and diverse and there's no need for plain old abuse. If someone doesn't know and is brave enough to ask....help, don't belittle....contribute, don't attack. Everyone know's what bullies really are.....doing it behind a screen is even less brave.   Good healthy discussion free from vitriol and prejudice is what makes us noble.   I've learned...have you ?   Good Dog. Guard Dog.

    Just recently i fired a canon at a posting thinking it was attacking my lifestyle and choices, turns out it was more like a box of fluffy kittens just wanting a glass of milk  BANG!!!! The canon was fired, kittens everywhere. Then it does'nt take long for your comrades in sex to start screaming  Wooooo sorentto.. There are a lot of people on here that wish they could take stuff back, And you've had some great input too. We need our canons but just maybe with the safety on

    Mate... I've often pleaded for a delete or edit button. Sometimes the things I say dont come out the way I meant.. and sometimes the things I say I really regret. The bit in bold that says "Please do not post anything that defames or villifies" just above the part we fill in.... I can often smack myself for not taking any notice of it... and we all have buttons that when pushed, we respond passionately.. which I suppose makes for a good read so far as spectators are concerned but can ruin the experience for those involved... and sometimes drive people away... and that would be a shame.   HUgs Gaz

    These forums can get carried away, sometimes I feel like every one is against me, other times I give it as good as I get.   I don't know the in and outs of the post of which you speak, but any one who posts a public apology like you have done is a pretty good guy in my book!!!   lovebittenxoxoxox

    Lol Mrs P..... the word "vilify" is spelled "Villifies" by RHP.... (IM not even sure "villifies" is even a word) so all I did was cut and paste... and I got a gold star for cut and paste!   Hugs Gazza

    The sentence mentioned by Gaz where RHP says, 'Please do not post anything that defames or villifies.' SHOULD say... 'Please do not post anything that defames or vilifies.'

    sometimes in here...people forget that it's usually the subject they are upset at...not the person talking about it.Some people tend to make personal attacks....which to me says much about the type of person they are.But sometimes....we all get a little hot under the collar...myself included....and say things I really shouldn't....for they only demean ME....not the person bearing the brunt of them.I always try to speak my mind....but in a positive and uplifting way.Sometimes that's just not possible....if the person you are trying to talk to refuses to listen or let it go.I too wish there was a delete button....'tis indeed cringe-worthy to go back and read something you have written when you have let anger and nastiness take control of your fingers.All i can hope for is that i learn the lessons the world shows me each day....and become a better person.Can we have a group hug now?? (feel free to grope my ass!!)Just my opinion...BJxxx

    BadBadDog, I think your a champ for getting back on here and voicing your apology for all to read - it shows true heart, humility and courage!MissBJ - you are truly a wise head on sexy shoulders! You are totally right when you say the anger or passion should I say is aimed at the topic, not the person. I'm all for the group hug, and you can certainly grope my ass any day hun! mwahMany times have all of us said or written something that is unfair or untruthful about someone.My father once told me "Our mouth is like a weapon, once the trigger has been pulled, like a bullet from a gun aimed at someones heart, words can never be unspoken. If your aim is true there is nothing you can do!"... Or something like that :)Anyways new to RHP so in need of some friends ppl!Love and hugs passionateman_99 xxxoooxxx

    Does anyone know what happened to SalAndy - I used to love reading their contributions to the forums??   BadBadDog - I am impressed....Trev and I often read the forums and then cringe over what is said / asked....if I have learnt anything in my lifetime it is that perception is reality.  Meaning it doesn't matter what your intentions are how the receiver perceives the comment / action is their reality and thats all that counts.   A public apology - my hat ummm I mean undies off to you! Can we get in on that group hug - although after the weekends antics Trev will just take all his clothes off.   K.

    Along with that edit and delete button, jeez I'd like the Block feature to work in the forums too.  Last time I tried, even though I had someone blocked I could still see all their posts. Pity, cos everything they say reeeeeeaalllly annoys me and I'd prefer to  not see their responses rather than constantly have to bite my tongue.   Oh well, c'est la vie.   T.

    The thing alot of people forget is that in non-personal communications mediums such as SMS, Email and forums, the intended inflection and tone originally intended for a message is easily lost or not conveyed in a manner which some will clearly understand.  It's easy to lose the intent of a message which is often easily conveyed through the spoken word. As such any message in such a medium should never be taken too seriously.My opinion.Mr FF.

    I was taught to apologise to the people that you hurt first not the people that witnessed it.  I think the witnesses are more interested in the conflict resolution and that there will be no further reoccurences then an apology.   If it is personal you deal with it personally, not bring it in here again.  Avoidance of the real issue, will make this insincere to those hurt, and seem like a very selfish attempt of clever butt covering, with no regard for the way they feel.   Everyone involved needs to be heard. Conflict resolution is about, discussing it with the people involved, often the conflict is a misunderstanding and sorted out quickly and everyone gets back to being happy again.  Burying heads in the sand and not dealing with what occurred, just leaves it festering, to rear its ugly head later and usually bigger then before. Attempts to rectify this situation have been offered to you several times, and rejected each time.   I think your kudos have been given prematurely Dog, the situation should be rectified, before an announcement can be made. There is never one casualty of war.   So how about you take it away from here and sort it out, privately as you said you would do, and we can all get back to having some fun in here.   My thoughts.   xx Miss Honey xx <<< revs up her Kanga and off to work

    Every time someone types thier message' theres a clear statement above the box they type in from RHP..  it reads ...  quote' ' Please do not post anything that defames or villifies.   Cant be much clearer than that can it ?   Its true'...  If you cant say something good then its best you say nothing at all. Some have tryed to bait us into a reaction to a post some time back..  We wont be drawn... its just too petty  so why bother. ? There is a clear difference between a response that promotes some helpfull feedback compared to those just wanting to beat thier chest. Live and let live... a old saying.. but true.

Maybe ur too old...Gazza' I didnt read your profile before I wrote this so I can only guess you might be a old 48 years of age.  As for you checking our profile to see 'my handsome man'... we keep our face pics in our PG which we only release to those who we choose' and not for the whole world to see .As for our criterea for male and age.. well'   thats our choice ... We would much rather a sexy couple or sensual girl' before a single male so if we are going to include a male (straight ) and not be bombarded with the dic pic brigade..  we state what we want. And NO Gazza....   my man is not too old for sex... but  sadly I think you might  be. Quoting justjuice: Some have tryed to bait us into a reaction to a post some time back..

    For those of who sit on your high horses with your holier than though attitudes, dragging old shit up, not letting things go and taking this all way too seriously, really, can't we all just MOVE ALONG?  I am so sick of some members thinking they are the moral bloody police in here, dictators of what they believe is right and wrong, what spelling, grammar, opinions and in this case, apologies are acceptable, and pulling people up left, right and centre.  Honestly sometimes it makes me wanna puke, with the few of you who feel it necessary to not  live and let live.  Please RHP, make the Block feature that we all love so much work in the forums too.   Trixie.

    A block feature in the forum! Moderation for the masses. I love it! I'll just read the posts by people that agree with me and ignore the possibility the others might have something of value to say in the future. It would also give me the opportunity to ignore the goads of nasties who bring up blasts from the past from their own special viewpoint, without the intent of attempting any sort of conflict resolution.I can't say my sense of humour is top notch every day and I'd like to say a random thnx for reminding me of what a saving grace it can be when I allow it ;-)Lol Gaz, heaps of people talk to you every day in the forums and as much as I hate to correct people considering I know I should just keep letting them make their own mistakes until they learn better all by theirselves, rather than take the chance of offending anyone... but... Wilson... was... a volleyball :-*Have a great day all!... Mrs P :-PPS: I agree with Miss Honey that conflict resolution IS a wonderful thing... I have a board game based on it. One of the ways to score bonus points is to introduce ideas that support what the other teams is saying. The goal is to resolve conflict in a mutually beneficial way that leaves both parties in a win situation.

    You've got me slightly wrong on the blocking thing Mrs Peachypearz.  I love good debate and discussion, even if I am not participating in it.  That's why I come into these forums.  My desire for the block feature is not so I can ignore those people who disagree with my opinion, but rather so I can ignore those people who annoy the shit out of me.  I just don't see why a feature that we all love using in the chatrooms can't extend into the forums.  *shrug.   On the subject of moderation, any form of moderation or censorship is  'moderation for the masses', and unfortunately it's usually instigated by the minority.   Good on you BadBadDog for apologising the way you did.   Trixie.

    Peachypearz and Sophie_74.      Im so sorry you still harbor such ill feelings.  What Gazz had to say was his opinion and what Mrs JJ replied in turn was her opinion.  It is a forum... if you cant dissagree with someone's opinion once in awhile what the point ??   Gazz in his wisdom seems to be big enough to accept the difference in opinion and from what I see has moved on completely. ?   Reading Gazz posts from time to time Im sure he would'nt have any trouble dealing with what was or wasnt said on a particular subject anyway... What I (Mr JJ) took exception to was the abuse aimed at Mrs JJ  for not agreeing with someone you obviously admire.  IT IS A FORUM for everyone' for god's sake not just for a selected few who think its their roll to become the forum police and then demand apoligys when it doesnt suit. ?  Gazz has moved on.. we have moved on ...
