For SUAS...

Post by _Yoda »

I posted this on the "I'm Not Permitted to Explain" thread in response to her comments, but since it is rather off-topic from the purpose of that thread, I thought I would clear the air here to make sure she sees it:

SUAS wrote:Liz is a part time therapist..she doesn't like seeing families torn apart...but hers was because her brother did not go on a mission but instead went to college..or maybe he went in the army...anywho..her own family has been torn apart as well ...Her hubby holds a high position in the church..and if anyone found out her true Identity her family would be torn apart again....she has however asked her huubies permission to be a moderator on this board...but they are not going to let her daughters be exposed to internet..or the you tube either...



I'm not sure if it is your reading comprehension which is faulty, or your memory. My guess is both. Let me add some corrections to the many things you got wrong with your statements here:

1. Liz is a part time therapist I've never claimed to be a part-time therapist. I genuinely like GoodK, have developed a friendship with him over the time he has posted here, and was genuinely concerned about his situation. Of course, you haven't posted here in quite some time, so you probably would have no knowledge of that fact. The snippy comment about my being a part-time therapist is unjustified. I offered him no advice, simply compassion and empathy.

2. but hers was because her brother did not go on a mission but instead went to college..or maybe he went in the army...anywho..her own family has been torn apart as well All I can comment here is, WTF??? My family was not torn apart. I'm not sure where you got this idea. I believe that I did mention that my brother did not choose to serve a mission. He completed his degree instead. My father, who is a convert to the Church was fine with my brother's choice. He did make it clear, however, that if my brother had desired to serve a mission, he would have paid for it.

3. Her hubby holds a high position in the church..and if anyone found out her true Identity her family would be torn apart again.... My husband teaches the High Priest lesson on Sundays. I don't know that you would call that a "high position", but all callings are important. ;) As far as my true identity is concerned, I was the victim of an Internet stalker about 10 years ago when I was naïve enough to use my real name when participating on a different bulletin board. After that incident, I have used a pseudonym on message boards. However, there are several here who are aware of my real name.

4. she has however asked her huubies permission to be a moderator on this board. The day I ask my husband permission to do anything is the day he will probably have heart failure from pure shock. LOL However, yes, he is aware that I am a Moderator for this board, and is fine with it.

5. but they are not going to let her daughters be exposed to internet..or the you tube either.. Again....WTF?? My daughters both have email, MySpace, and Facebook accounts, so they are hardly Internet deprived.

This is when I'm glad we now have an ignore feature. I never saw the original post to which you are responding. Yay for ignore!

LOL!

Unfortunately, since I'm a Mod, I really don't have the luxury of using the Ignore feature. ;)

As annoying as some posters can be - I don't think I'll use the ignore feature. It reminds me of CARM. I don't understand why it was added besides maybe to lure more TBM's into posting here.

Actually, I don't know that any TBM's who post here specifically asked for it.

Shades accommodated those who requested it out of politeness, even though it really goes against his grain, too.

I think it's common that when you have a close-knit group, there are going to be personality clashes from time to time, and sometimes, it's just better to ignore someone for a while.

I don't know that I would actually place anyone on ignore here, either.

Of course, there are some who probably wish they could put me on ignore, but since I'm a Mod, they will just have to scroll through my posts, since you can't put Mods on Ignore. LOL

I'll be honest - I put a couple of posters on ignore, although I didn't think I would. It actually makes many threads more readable. I don't have to scroll through a bunch of dreck to follow along what might otherwise be an interesting discussion.

Just because somebody posts on a board doesn't mean other participants are obligated to read them.
