Max and others, it was several members complaining that almost every message he posted was humor and some of it was offending and the subject did not reflect such. And no, I will not give their names. They came to me privately, not complaining to the whole group as stated in the rules. Maybe the rules need to be posted once a week instead of once a month. I enjoy humor as much and probably more than anyone. I preach " laughter is the best medicine " . I belong to a group that has a lot of humor, but I don't post jokes, etc to the diabetes group every day. We have over 1400 members. Some of these members can only read their messages at work and do not have time to read a lot of " OT " messages. This group is for everyone, not just for a few people. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Eunice don't feel bad about it, I appreciate all the work that gets done here. There is always something new to learn, and sometimes people take things too far. It was not appropriate for to post that way to the group. To me it seems a bit of an " attention " grabber. Poor me...lookie what happened to me. Wanting people to " feel bad " for him and affirm that he wasn't doing anything " wrong " . The need to " show " the moderator team. Very childish. Not one person here knows what happens behind the scenes on this group, other than the ones doin the work behind the scenes. When being told something is inappropriate, then look at it, and see...possibly this isn't right for this group. Don't post to the whole group and say " lookee here, feel bad for me " With a group this size, it is hard to keep every post on topic, but sometimes things go a little far off topic. It happens to everyone. Not everyone has the same sense of humor, I know that some things I find funny, that others done (not just talking about things of late). I don't complain to anyone. If I have an issue with someone I take it to them. Either on group or off. I am a person with strong opinions, and can have some pretty crass Ideas, but some of the things of late offended even me. That is a HARD thing to do. Angelia in OR ----- Original Message ----- > I belong to a group that has a lot of humor, but I don't post jokes, etc to > the diabetes group every day.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well Angelia, It must be so hard being so perfect. How callous of you, in all your perfectness, to state that was " attention getting " - I didnt read it that way at all.

Don't post to the whole group and say " lookee here, >feel bad for me " I think it is inappropriate, in any group, to imply, infer or presume such motives when nothing of the sort was said/posted. I read nothing of the kind into the message. Sandy T1 -1979 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
