I'm sorry that you have felt that way...I don't get all the inside jokes either...I usually stumble onto posts and have to ask what the heck is going on. Ask Melissa how many times I have been out of the loop! Just since last night I have had to ask what book Raylene had written and who Kayla was (who passed away ). All of us probably have felt like the outsider one time or another.

Yeah, you're right Helen. That's the way it is. As for the mean stuff. I guess I missed all that. It shouldn't be that way at all. That's not what dp has given us this site for. Thanks for clearing things up and I guess I have to agree. I have to admit that at times I feel like the girl in school that nobody likes. You don't get the inside jokes....etc. But whatever. That's not why I'm here.

Amen, Helen!
I don't mind if people don't respond to my posts, and I don't think it should matter. This place should not be considered a place like highschool with the different groups of people - popular, jocks, geeks, etc.
If you are here for the popularity, I think you're in the wrong place. JMHO

Hey Carol -

My post was intentionally "cold". The attitude with which this whole conversation was begun was accusatory - suggesting that the whole board was intentionally ignoring someone and then subsequent posts said things like:

As for you not believing that I can be nasty and mean, just talk to the people that have met me and know me. I was not raised to hold my tongue. If I see somebody eing stupid, Im gonna tell them, of course, Ill tell them how to fix the stupidity and try to explain as nice as I can that I dont have room in my life for stupidity.

Sometimes people respond best or understand a message the best spoken in their own language...So, rather than speak the truth in love, I decided to speak the truth in rude bluntness. Hoping to make a point. Maybe Amanda doesn't have room in her life for stupidity...I feel the same about attitudes like the one she is putting forth. Hear me correctly - it's the attitude and not the person I take issue with...

As far as people responding to posts, I dunno if its really a cliquey thing or not. In general people tend to talk more to people they know the best. Maybe we should all examine our hearts in this area and see whats there. That can never hurt. But I don't think anyone intends to leave others out. I know there have been plenty of times I have posted something I thought was really interesting but I didn't get much of a response...That's just the way the forums cookie crumbles.

I'm not sure about everyones response to this. It seems a little cold to me. There are "some" who are left out on this board. You post something and get nothing! But when one of the "popular" people post something, it gets 200 responses. It is happening. Everyone is supportive and sympathetic don't get me wrong. But there is a sort of click here and some people do feel left out. It's almost as if some want the "rights" to dp board because they do more, say more or see David more. I don't mean to sound mean but that is the way it is interpreted by some people. It is kind of hurtful. We shouldn't act like a gang of high school girlfriends who have their favorites.

Helen
I agree with you 100%, just thought I was too "new" to say it. You go girl!

Wow...good way to get replies to threads...It seems to me, Amanda, that your sole purpose in posting the thread that you did was to:

a) get sympathy

get attention

c) to brag about yourself and how proud you are to be a blunt person who says it like it is.

Congratulations. You have achieved all of those!

(How did I do in being blunt?!) :roll:

BTW - God loves you no matter what you do or say or how honest you are....Get filled up on His kind of love and then how many responses you get to a thread won't make you feel more or less valued. :

...brat Lindis....lol Love ya back :wink:


Yeppers....stick with us Amanda...Many GREAT people here for sure!! 8)

YOU?? :shock: :shock: :shock: mmwwwaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Seriously, just check out my last 2 threads. The outpouring of love still has me in awe of this family. Its staggering. You can't deny love and support like that. Oh...hehehe Exactly what Lynne and Pattie said...it'll leave you speechless.
