beyond the call of duty, maybe?

I am not sure why any poster would think or feel its is his or her responsibility to keep this message board going (unless OH is paying you to do so)---making it exciting, welcoming, informative or whatever you might value.  My thought is if this board exists it should have a natural life of its own and not be on "artificial life support"- so to speak.   I don't look for excitement or drama on this board- I find enough of that in my living and breathing world away from the internet.   It's fine with me if the board is slow and boring at times.

I feel I have never really assigned myself  (or anyone else) any member role here other than stopping by and taking what is useful, leaving the rest, and helping a bit here and there.   I am not sure exactly the rules of the OH boards as defined by OH, but I simply try to be kind and nonjudgmental. 

Peace,

Karen

Hi Karen!!!

It's good to see you!!!  I assure you that I am NOT being paid by OH (don't I wish)!!!  LOL!!  Perhaps I worded my post incorrectly - the only responsibility I feel for this board is to give back as much as I've gotten.

I'm not really concerned with anyone's opinion of what or how I post, my only thought, with EACH and EVERY post, is to try to support the people who have been so supportive of me.  If someone has fun with a post, that's great, and if I can help someone, all the better.

As I've repeatedly stated, I've made some wonderful friends on this board, and am grateful every day for the information I glean from it - be it wls related or not.

Hope to see you at a gathering soon!!!  If not, have a wonderful holiday season!!!

Hey Tia,

Not sure exactly what's going on as I've been having my own issues to deal with recently.  I will say you were the first to welcome me to the MD board and have sent me pm's when I was MIA.  To even think that a grown up support site could turn into a teenage bully chat room is funny.  I actually saw a post earlier that said "It's On", or something like that, as though there was going to be a backyard brawl.

And to think, I was actually thinking how much I missed this board.  It may be time for everybody to take a step back, think about why they became active on the MD board in the first place and re-evaluate their priorities.

Then keep it on the R&R board, no need to stalk him here.

Amen Kathy :  Please take this back to Rant & raves
