    Hi Moderators and Owners,
    This is a question just for you. So I would appreciate an answer without trying to put me down.

    Is it completely wrong to bring up points, questions or topics which show how the new changes done on this forum are possibly not helpful to some members?

    Why am I being targeted by 3 members on these threads? Is it all about putting DP up, up and up. If it it then please let me know so that I can take my topics to a place where I will be treated more fairly.

    Maybe you should if your feelings get hurt so easily... Any comment you make on a public forum is subject to criticism and most likely will be if the info is wrong or against the views of the majority.

    I am sorry that you feel that way but I don't agree that you are being targeted. I believe your opinions might be though. We have a right to disagree, that is what a public forum is about. Personally I very much welcome lively debate, and thus welcome you.

    He is just as guilty, he just wants to be able to talk crap but nobody say anything negative back to him.

    Are "indyonline" and "spolitdiva" moderators or owners here since I would really appreciate an answer from a member of the staff or the admin. I believe they set the rules here, and I need to know it from them rather than members.

    In regard to moderating, we try to allow a free exchange of ideas. Will the language and member demeanor used on the forum, always pass the mother/grandmother/Emil Post standards? I can say a resounding NO! Blatant attacks are not tolerated.

    It appears that you have control issues. You not only wish to control how DP operates, but also who can and cannot respond to your comments.

    From my understanding
    Direct attacks on DP are not ok, but expect some sarcasm from those who disagree with you or even some "rudeness".
    People have different opinions and will take advantage of their right to express it

    You are right about that. Maybe I am expecting too much here just like spoiltdiva says.
    Will sleep over this one, and come back tomorrow to see if anything changes.

    Please do not lose sight of the fact that humor here in the west, is somewhat different than where you are. It could be perceived by some as a member throwing out an insult, when in actuality they were merely attempting to have a laugh.
    We shouldn't take things too seriously all the time.;)

    Actually you are beginning to worry me. You post a thread in which you state that members are targeting you, and now you're losing sleep. I'm not suggesting that you're cracking up, but it does appear that you've gone completely paranoid.
    Maybe you should take a short hiatus from DP? (Edit in one smiley face:))

    Sure, will take a break. I share some information. Get nothing but sarcasm and spite in return and then when I ask for answers I am called an idiot and paranoid. Really need to take a hiatus from here right now.

    You just don't take criticism very well and can't admit when you are wrong. AND, you want to come on here and bash the forum but don't want nobody saying negative things to you. Kinda selfish...

    Once again my friend you see sarcasm instead of humor. I was joking with you. I was trying to make you laugh....
    Stop worrying and learn to smile a bit......it's all good.:)

    A large portion of communication is through body language &tone, with that taken out of a conversation it can be hard to pick up the humor.


    My suggestion would be to lighten up a little. Don't take everything so seriously and maybe you won't be as offended by people's comments.

    Some people just like to be in an annoyed state and complain loudly and repeatedly to everyone with the hope that people waste time asking them to stay. I don't even like when my 2 year old throws a tantrum, but at least he is only two. Why are adults around here throwing tantrums? I wish he would just go already. Everyone who has threatened to leave this forum would make it a better place if they actually left.

    If you want to leave or take a break, just take it. Why do these losers insist on warning everyone else that they are contemplating taking action - they do it for the attention.
