: : I was reading through the posts and I was encouraged to see that
"forum etiquette" was addressed (in one way or another) several times
recently, along with a few scattered, humble apologies. I stopped
posting questions to this forum several months ago solely because of
this reason.
: : When I stumbled upon the Henna forum I was very excited to find a
place that quenched my thirst for knowledge on the henna subject.
Although most of you answered my questions in a welcoming, friendly
manner, some of you chose to respond with subtle and sometimes blatant
sarcasm.
: : Yes, feelings DO get hurt, no matter what your age or maturity
level...I don't think anyone that posts a question is looking for "a
warm and fuzzy" response, but ever heard of common and mutual
respect...ya know...treat people the way YOU want to be treated?
: : Unfortunatly I have witnessed (and received) posts greeted with
sarcasm, humiliation, and down right meaness. There is no excuse for
that. I am an intelligent, educated person...an adult that successfully
contributes to society and I don't deserve to be made fun of...nobody
likes to look like the class idiot. "We" come to this forum for
guidance, and informative, RESPECTFUL conversation. Yeah, I am
interested in your knowlege and I'm very gracious with your willingness
to share this henna wisdom, but at what expense? I'm not interested in
being a catapult to boost your ego...so like my daddy used to
say...."if you don't have anything nice to say...don't say anything at
all" this from a VERY WISE man.
: : I was really hoping my experience in here would be a positive one
and it would have been nice to make a few friends. I do wish to say
thank you to those who DID greet me with a smile, this post wasn't
intended for you and my apologies if it offended anyone. It's merely an
observation from an "outsider" who's feelings WERE hurt.
