TPP:"Cheers for the example babe."

Oh no, it's all your own doing. I couldn't possibly take the credit.

<sings> Yeah, they're getting thinner...

That’s a bit of a reaction Corny. I thought what I wanted was to know what was different and clarify what had changed.

When I got back on OLO a couple of weeks ago CJ was here and so was Fractelle/Severin then Graham left a message in this thread saying they wouldn’t be much longer. Houel then said Foxy was here under a different name and that Ginx and Foxy had a set to over on Cyberia – at which point I went and had a look. Until this thread I had never heard of the blog.

I think I was online in March briefly and last October (?) before that. Dunno will have to go check my own posts.

So the rules and how they have evolved got talked about and I understood them I think.

Then yesterday I realised I missed the people who I saw on Cyberia. I had counted 5 of them when looking at the links GY posted. They were very prominent personalities here before I left.

I left a message saying I had changed my mind and that something felt wrong.

A previous recent post had my suggestion to improve things. Context and explanation before deletion or banning.

I really think you sit there Corny and decide what would upset a person before you say it. Do they value honesty? Why then yes I will call them dishonest. You’ve always been particularly nasty in your wannabe emotive delivery which says a lot about your own honesty doesn’t it. And how paranoid can you get? Just lead everyone by the nose did I? This says far too much about your own little ego.

Anti I wish you had been where I have been online recently, I don’t think anyone on OLO could create more than a raised eyebrow, two if they are lucky. Given the current level of moderation the chance has probably passed by to make me cross. Col isn't over Cyberia as well is he? Bloody should be. :)

Found every post after my last interesting and all contributed to the thread.
FG RObert and others got it very right.
Thanks FG for the deleted post and its reasons did not bother to read why
TPP Friend believe me it can not Be said, those two posts must not be repeated here.
Foxy having problems? that poster gave every one trouble in near every post.
ONCE more foxy and I felt one poster was getting too much support, we felt an intervention was a bit one sided , we should have ignored him.
Foxy left, no one forced her to go, I would like her to return.
Post federal election views became heated, respect for others views went out the door, in my view some posts insulted the truth.
BUT I should have ignored it foxy should have too.
Look at the list of respected posters who know about deletions, and support them.
C J Morgan felt this site was getting too conservative read his post history, examinator has been in conflict here for a long while, not with me.
Read Grahams in put to this thread few of those in that page are banned from OLO.
Let us say something controversial so we can get a discussion going but let us understand a story exists in the post history of those we talk of.
A honest look may find one posted a few times while looking like a party was underway.

Some people instinctively attack. There's often more criticism generally leveled against success than failure, more suspicion of excellence than of mediocrity. Relationships are people's primary teachers.They are the context in which people either grow or deny themselves and others the opportunity to do so. Most people are thrown curve balls in the form of people and situations they're tempted to judge. How otherwise would people grow but by growing through such challenges? Of course attack is an easier response than forgiveness, and that's why people are tempted to give into it.

Everything has its story; and everyone has obstacles to overcome. Each of us goes through transitions and transformations. The important thing is that we learn from them. We will encounter many people on our journey through life. How they help shape us into the people we become (and still hope to be), I guess will be up to how each of us reacts in each situation.

Lexi all that is true but.
We will and should differ, without that difference there is no need to communicate talk even.
We mostly do, but not all the time talk without trouble.
In threads like in our opinion I tried to explore why we think differently.
This thread is evidence we do indeed.
It reminds me of my fault in my dispute with just a few posters, I feel free to say I was both wrong to respond and unfairly to the point of silliness treated by them bias was but one sin my views bought silly by inference another.
So be it, we should do our best not to engage with those who only want confrontation.
But we must not get away from being us, free to think what we want.
Rumors innuendo grow wings become something not related to reality.
Names ,true ones, defamation, a host of dreadful things that true or not got deleted.
So they should.
I feel some times maybe I should not have put OLO first, left that for all to see, and not have to find some questioning deletions.
But to do that would be a very weak act, I am not weak, would defend guilty or Innocent from such, I hope others would too,
And that none of us would post such.

Belly:

I agree with you, we are all different, and we should be true to ourselves - within reason. By all means people should stand up for themselves, but not to the point where it hurts others. I don't understand the tendency on people's parts to think that their way is the right way and that people who disagree with them are bad. I cannot understand how some people disrespect the rights of others to hold opinions different from their own. As I've written previously, we can disagree vehemently yet appropriately. Disagreements must be respectful, or as I've stated the disrespect itself poisons people more than either side's position in the argument ever could.

It's more important that we renew dignified and respectful dialogue with those who don't agree with us than that we keep congratulating those who have the wisdom to see things our way. However I want to add that I cannot imagine you disrespecting anyone in that way.
