I know and no offense taken darlin.....I used to do it on just say hi too....lol

Southern hospitality, I guess

I'm not talking about keeping a thread going....I'm talking about the non confrontational back and forth that goes on and is expected the be the "norm"

Yea, you're right! Let's hug!"

"Hugs!"

And I only bring it up because some wanna bltch abt sections I post in....political. I wouldn't bltch about those other sections otherwise.
I'd just remove them from my forum list.


Lost me here but I'm multi-tasking so it's probably my my fault

canned responses...instead of an actual discussion or debate

tends to aggravate me

Hell to the yes!

Clicks are very important though!

Without clicks we would be without many things

I click with everyone click click click click and if we don't click I delete delete delete delete delete..lol

Thank my grandmother for her help on this one.....RIP grandma

So glad you haven't deleted me

Thank you Ms. Blondey

Yes on both questions. AS far as mingle without a doubt there is a click and that's ok but the problem with some( as in life as well) is they get a superior attitude and do not want to include people who are new because they are worried of losing their standing in the group,I see this a defense mechanism and it tells me all I want to know about that person.You Seakolony do not fall into that category your willingness to chat with newcomers is to be admired and there are a few others here who are very social to newcomers you folks are what life is about, good conversation with confidence.

hehe...Sally Field oscar speech

They like me ....
They really like me...

I agree. I tend to do the same if I am asking for advise because I feel that it acknowledges that I appreciate the feedback and that I am reading it.

Are there clicks here? Maybe, but I see it more as people who have been here in the forums longer, have gotten to know each other and acknowledge each other. I don't see anything wrong with that and I am sure I will be one of those people after I have been here longer and gotten to know people better. I don't see it as a click though. But I guess to some people who are new it may seem that way.

I don't think I see it exactly the same way. But respect your opinion. Thank you for your participation.

Agreed, I also think that some are careful to see if person is going to stick around or if they might be a scammer or spammer sometimes too

For those above

Oh yeah and,

This thread was about rudeness of accusation as well as being welcoming to newcomers and not making them feel excluded. I was very interested on the opinions of the forums. That as a newcomer at first glance being judgemental of others and who they are and represent isn't a good thing g. Also, as the older members maybe we should you more acknowledgment of the newbies posts to make them feel more welcome and less like an outsider looking in.

To the newbies don't knock or judge my friends because you don't know them and it pisses me off in an email or in the forums. Thank you.

What do you mean was?

Veterans of Mingle (like me) will remember a time when this forum had a ton of people. I think a few cliques formed back then, and I did here of some "internet drama".....which makes no sense.

Yep, I remember the old interesting day with lots of personalities, Goof. There was more popcorn floating around these forums to feed all the homeless in the US
