so nice to see everyone behaving themselves

Sunshine and light.  That's what we are here on Minti!

Well that is the ultimate in caring as my mum used to say; we punish you because we care...

great warning......very appropriate........Hugs Sandra xxx

Well said clay.. That should help things out a bit.. :)

good to see that everyone is behaving themselves (as far as I am aware)

the activity list looks like we are focusing on the positives :)

Hi Clay,

Ummm i do promise to be good but still i cant have time out for as long as 48 hours not only will i get withdrawl symptoms but im only 22 and your only supposed tyo give a minute for year of a life LOL but i promise to be POSITIVE

Emz

Thank you for saving my forehead. For the past few days, I've been slapping my forehead every time I see comments about the recent drama.

I think the warning is just in time because I was about to resort to banging my head on the table if I see anymore.

Sorry Sir will I get dentention, lol.

I hope this whole horrible experience has highlighted some problems here, other than the fact that members always seem to niggle each other.  I don't bother reporting call me a coward if you want but I don't see the point as people do react the way they do because they do.

I hope you can put something in place that would possibly make this reporting process anon or whatever just to protect others from being attacked in this way. Time out  is a good idea, too, lol.

Thanks for this Clay

Its not on seeing a load of "He said, She said" on the Activity List

I was actually really embarrassed as I had spent a long time telling my SIL who is already a member, she should use it more, I told her I would give her a demo on how to move around the site and when we logged on, I logged right off and said, we do sometimes have trouble on line but it doesnt last !!!!!!!!!!!!!! She straight away decided she didn't want a part of it

I told her to be like me and only read the stuff she is genuinely interested in and not read the blogs that look like trouble, so I think she is going to stay and be more active

We are a huge community of people who all have different ideas, opinions and ways of doing things, but living in a community is all about embracing those differences and accepting thats what makes us a unique race, we are allowed to be different and use our own free will. I use my free will to avoid conflict and not nit pick at others comments and actions, it really does make for a much more peaceful life.

Why are so many people fired up by the actions of others using their free will. I watch from my safe distance and think that there has been a lot of bad behaviour, but I refuse to get drawn into it and refuse to contribute to keeping it on the Activity List

That's like 2 hours for every year old I am!  I also think that the members who were involved need to write 5 positive things they have gained from the members they are disgruntled with, in their own blog.  Intolerance such as we have seen comes from jealousy, being closed minded, and not taking control of ones own thoughts.

I have been watching, and leaving comments, but as usual, they are about my antics of sitting on the fence (lucky I'm used to having a numb bum!) and reading what isn't being said as much as what is being said.  I have stated I will not be involved, but will watch and continue to support all members equally.  I have lost sleep over this, but only because I've been trying to write a blog while going to sleep!  No luck so far, but I am working on it.

I will take the slap on the hand, and keep it hidden for the next time I am here at 3am and not really thinking about what I am writing.  Actually, my time out needs to be between 1am and 9am every day!

Well said, Clay. For those who also want more information, please check out the Report it or Not group

wooooooot! you are uber scary! ::O little becca alien running away now!

Yes i need a slap on the wrist and a time out but i will stop the negitivity and focus on the positives.

Thank you

Fair enough clay...but i only just came on today after 2 days off. Can my time of being good start from now??? lol

Jo

Hey Thanks Clay for the reminder/heads up.  A lot of people (maybe even me included) need a slap on the wrist and a bit of time out. 

Here's to an adult website with members acting like adults!

Thanks for the warning I think that it is needed.  As most of us can not act as responsibly as we should.

Angie

Fine, fine fine...

I'll stop writing the 30 page email to you then, polish the halo and slip into my bunny suit and hop around minti handing out love, friendship and joy...

Ha! Hey, that's a good idea...I may just do that....and now too....

Cheers

OB

I promise i be a Good girl...
