LadyBeckett -> RE: common curtesy (4/25/2004 8:46:26 AM)

As you read through the many many posts on this site, and many others you are going to find one thing above all others, quietsins, and that is the freedom to speak a thought, or an idea, an opinion, share an experience, whatever. Sometimes the discussions get heated, and there are times when courtesy doesn't appear to be prevalent.
It's like any other relationship, it grows with familiarity. The more you interact with someone, the more you come to like, or dislike them, respect, or disrespect them. Whatever the case may be.
We demonstrate what is important to us, individually. If courtesy is what is important to you, that will be demonstrated in your posts, regardless of the topic of whatever thread you are posting on. Of course, one must also take into account that some topics can get quite involved and intense.
One can read a board and comment from the sidelines, but unless they are actually involved in the discussion I don't believe they are qualified or have the authority to address the "tone" or content of the discussion in another thread. If you have something you want to address about a thread, take it to that thread and address it there. Tell them that you didn't feel they were being respectful or courteous, and then address their response to that.
I am absolutely going to disagree with Marissa in that I do not think there is a lack of communication at all! In fact, quite the contrary! We are communicating here!! We are not always in agreement, but that is the point, isn't it? As for courtesy, I believe that we demonstrate a modicum of basic courtesy that is more than acceptable, even when the recent threesome were at it, lol. They have graciously called a truce, and I admire them for that.
As far as the "boards" go, Oh contraire Ma' Fraire (sp), we absolutely do have a relationship with one another! We interact with one another damn near every day! How is that not a relationship?? I don't know if MizSuz hogs the covers or not, or if Gloria snores, if proudsub snorts when she laughs, or if Shade Diva actually says "yanno" in r/l, but I do know that on these boards they present themselves in brilliant and intellectual color, and and I absolutely adore London Switch and Topcat, Mistress Dread blesses my mouth with a smile every single day [:)], and Sandy does too with her wonderful honesty. I am going to miss rain, and look forward to her return.
Another thing I am getting really tired of seeing on here is reference to "spell check" and more often by those who also misspell. lol If you can figure out what the flipping word is, don't trip!
It's all good! Stay with us [;)]
