Apparently I missed a negative event. Sorry you guys wents through that. I lost a lot of "friends" on a discord server last year because people didn't agree with me. I told them I respected that they didn't agree with me and I wouldn't bring it up again even though they kept at it. They all still left. I've learned to be a little less political as a result.
 
Wingnut was my buddy too, I liked his rants, but you just can't go off like that about certain "protected classes" anymore, Right or wrong you're liable to have a hundred woketards in here raising hell and trying to get the forum taken down or just outright hacking the place.
I don't like him getting banned, I hate it to death, but I agree with it, no matter how sour a taste it leaves in my mouth, Havisu and the other Admin did what they had to.

Has anybody got his email? Please PM it if you do.

I am just surprised to see you. I remember you from our old hangout. Hope to see you more here.

If you put an @ sign in front of their handle, they will get a 'ping' in their alerts whether they read this thread or not. :thumbs:

Dang! I learn something new every day. I have occasionally put that @ sign in front of posters handles. I though it was just so others could click on it and see who the person you are referring to is. I didn't realize it notified that person as well. I have also used it to indicate that I was indeed referring to a person - useful for the newbies reading a post but not being familiar with members handles. Like if I mention @Peanut (who I just found out will be pinged by what I just did!) these newbies will know that I am referring to a person, not a legume.

I’m here. I’m gearing up for knee replacement surgery in October 2. I’ve had doctor’s and other appointments. Also we are gearing up for a very important dog adoption event. Woofstock 2023 - Oklahoma Animal Alliance
Also, had an organizer come help me get my craft room together.
Just been busy with life.

My, never pee off Pearl! 😂
I'm sorry too that Wingnut is gone. I enjoy all your comments, even though I may not agree with everyone. We live in different worlds, and different experiences carve us into who we are. I ignore certain comments that I feel are 'borderline' ;) and stay away from political stuff ( though on occasion I do give in) Overall, I have been made feel very welcome, especially by a few you messaged me directly to welcome me.
Earlier in the conversation, someone mentioned a number of quick answers to threads; I'm on here early because of the time zone, and like to pop into the 'quick' threads, such as 'what are you doing today' and the word game. I see it as like popping a head round the door at neighbours- a quick hello, to see everyone's all right. If it's an important thread, I would give thought to my response, and type it in later, or the next morning. I like this forum because everyone does check on each other, there is a great mix of topics, and if, like me, you don't know a lot about the heavy stuff, there is still an opportunity to contribute.
 
Thanks guys.
Man, sorry to hear about Wingnut but if people can't control themselves the admins have to take action. I had someone that I really liked on a private forum I created for a niche fandom-- very small group-- but this chick could not handle any disagreement whatsoever. She was very strongly opinionated and would say offensive things to other people and was always clutching her pearls if someone disagreed with her. She couldn't take it as a difference of opinion-- had to take it personally and resort to ad hominem attacks. She would argue with me when I would privately tell her to stop it and point out the rules. I finally had to ban her. She had a total meltdown in e-mails about it. Threatened to sue me and all sorts of crap. It was a free forum and nothing to sue over. She wanted all of her posts deleted "or else". I sent her the TOS of the site & that shut her up. But I did delete specific posts where she talked about her kids and had pictures of them. I told her I didn't have to delete anything due to the TOS but I was being nice. I really don't get how some people get butthurt so easily though. I try to stay out of the politics bc I know my views differ from a lot of people here & I'm not here to argue with people. I'd rather focus on things we can agree on and move on.
Sorry you had to deal with that, Havasu.
