    I am sorry if my posting pattern annoys you. I post here for two reaons and two reasons only... It is useful to me, and one day I hope to be more useful to others. One of the things I find useful is the sense of community that I get from being here, that people are supportive, creative and offer useful information... my style is to respond rapidly and "hold conversations"

    By all means PM me and tell me what it is about my posting style/frequency you object to... although the post you disapproved was admittedley off topic, it was a question that arose in direct response to the posts in the thread, and I acknowledged the off topic nature of my question. But it was pertinent and of value to me, as were the responses I got (and those in the recent thread on the same subject). Should you choose to respond, I have no intention of revealing your identity and give an absolute public assurance on maintaining the confidentiality of any PM you should send.

    Adam I am sorry someone gave a disapproved rating. :( I don't see anything wrong with your posts myself and feel the same way about the DP community as you do.

    Maybe the person will explain why they gave you that rating.

    Yesterday, someone disapproved of a post I made (though the post was a month old) with the comment "stop posting just to post"... not being able to address the disapproving one direct, I chose to respond via open post. No more than that. :)

    No need. I just watch the eyes and wait while they notice what they notice as they relax from the outside going in only as quickly as they are unconscious of what it is necessary to enter trance right now....

    :D

    Some folks do not like new members until they get used to them, don't sweat the small stuff. :)

    Some folks don't like old members either, don't let if bother you, just keep posting until one of the mod's tells you that you are going overboard.

    You are being watched, believe me :mad: :eek: :mad:

    hehe... it took them a month to complain about the post.

    I'm not overly bothered. There's stuff I think and stuff I do, and that will fit with some and piss others off. I know that. But if someone wants to criticise, I would rather give them the opportunity of having the balls to do it to my face.

    ;)

    Ah ha. I get it now.

    Don't take peoples rep comments too personally :p. Sometimes people will accidentally leave a negative instead of a positive (I accidentally left a positive instead of a negative the other day. I'm sure they're still scratching their head...), or some people just give out a bunch of random rep points (positive or negative) just so they can vote for another person more then once (hi prbot). I didn't see anything wrong with your posts :D .

    I don't... just don't like people who hide behind anonymity :)

    Agreed. But, you don't have a choice when posting rep points. They're all anonymous ;) .

    So just challenge the behaviour I exhibit openly... if I don't like what someone else is saying, or how they are saying it, I'll tell them :) (Though it's very rare it matters that much to me).

    Then I'll kick their rep point ass :D

    I got the same but the guy/girl doesn't have any voting power anyway...

    10-09-2004 09:12 PM stop posting just to post

    It was from the thread 'Link Exchange Directory'.

    So to that person: Stop Voting Just To Vote!

    the point of the anonymity in the rep system is so people who get a bad rep point dont retaliate against who left it

    I know that, and see the sense of it... I also know I've got a touch silly here, but hey, I can live with that. The original post was a genuine one... if someone wishes to take me to task for posting style, then please do so. I moderate my own forums and have had to do so myself in the past. I'm big enough and ugly enough to take it myself. :)

    nah, your fine.

    Dont sweat it -- I had someone give me a bad rep point on here for a single word I used -- to each his own.
