#1 daughter's gonna love that video Kasia (extreme 'cat person').......


Heck. Me too.

 

Hilariously funny. I think the cat that slapped the kitten was the mom cat. Misinterpreting the hat on the kitten as making the kitten appear different.

It's all good. We can get along, but there's always bumps in the road, so to speak.

And a kinder, gentler forum?????? Or a friendlier one?


IDK. It won't happen overnight, even with your dust spreading pixie . And there's always two sides to the story, so if one person is griping about one thing, chances are the other will have an entirely different version.

But the mods are out there:

 

I remind myself (when I read snarky remarks) that this is the internet; this is not personal. If the remarks are "too much" for me and what I believe is civil, I bug out. There is a banter here on CoinTalk that is often welcoming. A newcomer has only to 'look around' to see who can take what kind of remarks, and who makes what kind of remarks...personalities show through postings. I agree that it is up to each of us to make CoinTalk a little bit better for our being here.

With regard to the OP's point, yep, there is some clique-ishness here on CoinTalk. But not too much. If one sticks around long enough, they'll figure out which areas to stay away from. That's just part of life, people. Good advice I have read so far, don't be thin-skinned, and be ready to apologize if necessary. I am practicing both.

I enjoy CoinTalk very much. I learn something new daily. I am all for using Google to find answers..I find the questions to ask here on CoinTalk!

Gotta say.....you gals Rock.......



Ouch, danged back pain.....

 

Either pull the knives out, or stop patting yourself on the back .....and leave my "poooff" wand out of it.

 

Thanks Lucy and thanks to all the positive replies!

Now if I could get a moderator to "update" the title of the thread for the correct spelling of clique-ishness (shoulda used Google), I'd really appreciate it!

 

My hope is that people use threads like this as a team-building exercise. That they start to view the other users of the forum as human beings rather than anonymous screen names.

That even the negative comments made can make people feel more a part of the community for having been able to publicly vent or rant.

WE are Coin Talk. Not Doug or Peter, or the numerous moderators that patrol the virtual halls here. The members of this forum largely determine the tone and tenor of our community. Some times people needed to be reminded of just that. It's a community with a large diverse population and in that breadth is a vast accumulation of not only knowledge, but a passion for what we collect, study and share.

Tone is almost impossible to infer from the text in a post. Sometimes when we feel we've been slighted, snipped at, or insulted, we should write it off as someone having a bad day and just let it go rather than respond and snipe and snark. Give your neighbor the benefit of doubt and the kindness that you feel you deserved but didn't receive. Understand that not everyone will be best friends, but we can all be good neighbors.
