    Re: Do you feel safe?

    I feel just fine here... But then again, I've never been one who needed the approval of others, so I don't know that I count.

    Re: Do you feel safe?

    This is actually the friendliest forum ive ever been on. I think its cause its 90% full of guys. Go to a forum full of women and THEN tell me if you feel safe! Women are feisty creatures who tear forum newbs to shreads.

    I once had a class of 36 ninth-grade girls, Meghan. Now THAT's what I call being torn to shreds!

    Ugh I HATED being that age. Actually, I hated middle school. Around 9th grade, I stopped caring and thats when I made my real friends. lol.

    Its seriously amazing how the atmosphere here in this forum is sooo different than in forums where the majority of the members are female. I joined a craft forum for candle makers and stuff and I introduced myself, gave a nice little "nice to meet everyone!" and then asked a few questions about candle making and not a single person welcomed me. All they said was what I was doing wrong with my candle making, half of it in all caps.

    I was a very annoyed little candle maker!

    NO! I want "nice to meet you/Glad to have you here, etc. etc." and THEN proceed to tell me the info! Theres a certain etiquette, people! They jumped right into the "dont do this and dont do this and you are donig this wrong and blah blah blah"

    (and I will have all of them know that my candles are awesome! And YES, I DO use crayons for color! *hands on hips*)

    You must have.

    If you don't feel like I do that's fine. I don't feel the need to compare this forum to another. What if we compared it to XMTS a year ago.
    Also let's keep to forum rule #2 and not disparage the women of this or any other forum.
    I don't seek approval from others but I do expect to have a conversation with out having a negative remark hurled my way.

    It reminds me of a U.S. Political rally with the small group of people from the other party shouting over the discourse. Do they think they will convince anyone of anything? Republicans have their shindigs and the democrats have theirs. Why would a Dem or Rep go to the others party just to tell them they are foolish? What would be accomplished?
    I may be in a minority of this forum who has lost their joy to be here but I KNOW there are other who feel as I do.
    Let YOUR utterance be always with graciousness, seasoned with salt, so as to know how you ought to give an answer to each one.

    I'm really lost here. I don't recall seeing any terribly personal attacks on anyone lately.
