I do believe it is YOUR issues with ME - and has been from the beginning. Think it went something like this - saved for just this special occasion for when I actually read one of your posts:

Knowing Dara will read this, I have something to say.

Dara, first off, my intentions are only good ones, so I hope you will see them that way. I know you said that you had to keep up with people as part of your job and they had to check in with you and that's all fine, but this is not a business/work place and we're all retired and have no desire to answer to anyone.. It's just a message board where people are free to go and come as they please. I said this to you way back when you first started posting but you chose to ignore it, I suppose...your right. Other people have made hints to that affect as well. Most posters do not want to be hunted down on a daily/weekly basis. If someone who has been a long-time poster suddenly disappears for a length of time, then that's an entirely different matter and a legitimate reason for concern. Otherwise, it feels intrusive to many.. (On that note, Gigi really was not a regular poster here. She did not show up until around Dec. and posted only a few times. The neighboring board you post on may have been where she posted long-term, but - seriously - never here.)

I truly do believe you are trying to be funny/humorous, but it doesn't "land" as funny. Humor is different for all of us and what you find as humorous may actually be offensive to others. Honestly, I thought that in your post to JS about what he was doing yesterday your wording was rude and aggressive. There are times when practically every one of us has been rude, including you and me. I also think that sitting at a computer waiting for people to post is kind of sad. If boards you post on are slow, just go do something else for a while. I know that is really none of my business, but neither is it yours to call people out when they are doing other things. One thing I do know for a fact...everyone is not going to like or relate to you on these boards. That's life. There will also be times when disagreements/snarls, etc., will happen and that's just a given, too. Don't make a scene, just deal with it and move on. Things will settle down. We're all human and we all "have our moments."

Dara, I'm just trying to offer up some genuine food for thought. I've got a few years of life experiences on you so please keep that in mind. I, too, worked for 'powerhouse people' in the political arena for 28 years. Unlike you, though, it made me want to steer clear of most political discussions/activities. To each their own and I'm very thankful I chose to let it go. So, just at least - if you will - give this some thought before you react. It's coming from a good place, and I actually took some time to think about responding before I decided to take a chance.

Out of all you "had to say" - there are only a couple items that are worth a response. I don't believe gigi ever posted here...but I do suspect that there are many imposters and those that travel from board to board. No problem for me - live and let live in the boardhost world. But with that said - I suspect many don't post if they are constantly getting called out and lectured...hell, most probably run right out of the neighborhood.

I have no idea where you believe we had any conversation that you "warned" me about anything. The two females I talk to on other board -we have not ever conversed about THIS board or anyone on it. So you have me stumped...also have me stumped on where you got the idea that I "worked for powerhouse people"...I'm positive I have not ever discussed any previous occupation of mine on any board. But, hey I had a good idea that you had a few years of life on me...otherwise you might have suggested that, rather than working FOR powerhouse 'men'...I was the powerhouse.

Okay...carry on.
