Give it a rest... this forum practically raised him, 😬 so why don't you just leave him alone, 🙂 Lawrence Bailey77😁

Honestly, I struggle with it so much. It’s genuinely painful for me when I realize that certain things are completely out of my hands, and no matter how hard I fight or what I do, it feels like it doesn't even matter in the end.
Karma always catches up. Everything comes full circle.🥳
If you find yourself stuck in a moment where it feels like things shouldn't have happened the way they did, try to consider that maybe, right now, this is actually the best possible outcome—for you, for someone close to you, or even for a complete stranger. 😉
Rachel Davis81 said:When I choose to ignore someone, it’s because I have absolutely zero interest in interacting with them. The fact that they can still see my posts doesn't change that—it's just wasted effort.
🤣
If you’re trying to withhold information from specific individuals while posting on a public forum like Reddit, you’re essentially shouting into a megaphone. In reality, everything posted here is visible to the public unless you're logged in and using private messaging, but even then, ignoring a comment won't hide your words; anyone browsing the thread can read exactly what you wrote, just like everyone else. This applies to all public threads, barring any truly private channels.😬 The bottom line is that you should probably think twice about what you put out there, maybe even five times if necessary.😉
Look, I hope rustynomad12 wasn't aiming that comment at me; I was actually trying to pay you a compliment. I have no idea why you deleted the photo, or why the thread was locked this time, since I wasn't even at my desk last night.
anyhow. Pobs is the most 😁 😍
As for that first photo of yours—it was honestly pretty rough. Posting a shot that blurry online makes me wonder what you were actually hoping to achieve, besides, nobody actually insulted you; they just pointed out that the image was out of focus, and I really don't get why you're letting those few people get to you when it's obvious they're incredibly wealthy, regardless of whether they spend their lives acting like total masochists 😬 😳 🤣
tab, can you believe what these two have cooked up? 🤣 I’m the one being called a loser while you’re just the mistress. 😳 😬
🤦
Look, ladies—brightviper22 and redscout46—your posts practically reek of bitterness, which makes your decisions perfectly understandable. Now, both Alexander Adams94 and I are cat people, though I actually deal with twenty of them 😁 and I make it a point never to equate children with pets. That kind of comparison is just irrational. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for any further discussion. 😉
I honestly fail to see the utility of threads like this. Is the goal to gather a crowd of people who don't want kids just to upvote those who do? What’s the actual point? If you don't want children, fine—that’s your prerogative, and frankly, nobody cares. I haven't encountered a single thread where people were ganging up on those opting out of parenthood, yet the reverse seems to happen quite frequently. So, what's the catch? Why does it bother you so much to see three little kids living in the house next door? Could you not simply let people live their lives and focus on cultivating your own? That would be far too much effort, wouldn't it? 🙄
Since we are opening up this discussion, we might as well address the reality of foster care. Every child sitting in an American foster home has a biological mother and father somewhere out there. In most cases, those parents decided their own personal comfort was more important than their own flesh and blood. It’s shameful.

I have no clue who is grinning or using that specific term, but I haven't seen it once from anyone on the pro-choice forums. Because let me be clear: being pro-choice doesn't mean you're pro-abortion.
The second you start equating murders and genocides with abortions, we aren't having a debate anymore; we're just labeling doctors and women as murderers. I don't know why you people refuse to accept that and try to wrap it up in some other fancy wording. The person committing a murder is a murderer. Period.
And there you have it—you've summed it up perfectly.🙂
bluecyclist64 said:Look, I actually started a thread here a while back questioning whether Meadow had what it takes to handle moderation duties.
Since then, nothing has changed, except that I have to watch my step in the Religion subforum because Meadow is just itching to hand out a ban.
So from here on out, be careful what you say in her territory, where she acts like an absolute dictator.
Ants and termites are known for being patient and methodical. Should we hire them as mods instead?
Personally, I prefer cats and dogs over snails any day. They suit me better, honestly...
Dogs and cats... love that. :love:
Forgive me if I'm not perfectly sane... :mol:
And why would anyone consider that an insult?
What if it happens to be true? (Even though I don't really follow this stuff, purely hypothetically speaking).
What are you actually getting at? Are you saying it's offensive if someone can't wrap their head around string theory or fails to grasp that the universe has 17 dimensions?
The reality is that Meadow, much like anyone else, isn't going to understand everything.
But the issue is that she's a moderator, and in that position, one should probably act less like a programmed robot.
If you're truly bored, you can go dig up my old thread about Meadow. You could also look at how Bluebird used to moderate, so just think about it, boss...
This isn't the first time people have complained about Meadow, in fact...
I realize finding new mods isn't easy, but you shouldn't allow moderators to wage private wars against the community. Hell, I used to sit down and talk things through like an adult with ZgSash, yet he treats people here like he's Satan.
Someone who lacks basic communication skills and actively blocks their own followers shouldn't hold a moderator position. That's to say nothing of the other obvious flaws if you aren't choosing to ignore them.
Who is this Satan you're talking about? 🍿I thought you were being that guy. 🤣
You're just talking nonsense and blaming Meadow because you got hit with a warning; your ego is clearly bruised. I once posted a link to a Luis Royo image on the Woodworking board and got slapped with a red warning. 🤣 🤔 I'd rather laugh at that than take it personally.
And it's not about the snails, or the cats and dogs—there are plenty of worse mods on this site if I really went into detail. 😬
And don't act like you're some saint of the forum either; 😁 I'd ban you for life if I could. 🤷
I assume blocking messages is within everyone's rights, so why should she, as a mod, have open access to every horny troll online? 🤷 It makes no sense. If you want to complain about a warning, you can do it right here, right?

Stop trying to treat us like idiots. 🤷
Just give it up; it's a lost cause.
I was once slapped with a ban and labeled a troll myself😉 just because I argued that abortion is murder. I don't recall which moderator it was, but she told me quite politely that we couldn't refer to women who have abortions as murderers as long as the law doesn't recognize it that way. And under current US law, abortion isn't classified as murder.
That's the vibe, if you catch my drift.
So, you're essentially fighting a losing battle. I suspect that user might have been a bot.👍
You really did it, Grandpa 👋 Look, if it means anything to you, I’ve never once viewed you as "problematic" 🤷 Or maybe it just didn't resonate with me personally 😬 To be honest, I don't actually know you very well—outside of your DT profile on this Forum But I notice you frequently stir the pot with that persona, doing so in a remarkably polite and civil manner, which stands in stark contrast to certain others here So, I'm actually quite glad to see you're blonde I can't quite put my finger on why, but 😬 😍 👋
🙈 or perhaps you intend to use that other handle I suppose I misread the situation 😬 From what I can tell, you're blonde 😁
I really don't have the energy to read through everything right now, so if I've misinterpreted the situation, forgive me😬
neonfox12, please. You’re just being provocative and insulting. Where does this constant need to push back even when you aren't necessarily wrong come from? You tend to overreach about 80% of the time, which essentially makes you look like a desperate agitator in most scenarios. The way you praise some people while constantly attacking others—seemingly out of some internal restlessness because you didn't get your way—just isn't cool. Frankly, it’s pathetic. And then there's the "I don't care" act. Give me a break; it's obvious you've had a rough go of it, but that mask you're wearing is just too much🤷 if you would just learn to pick your battles....... 😬

🤣 The classic move—shifting the blame onto someone else because admitting a mistake is clearly too much to ask. It’s become quite predictable. 😁 If you had bothered to read the entire post from start to finish, I guarantee 😬 it would have looked a lot different to you.
