What's the point

[notime4haterz 0]

Oh, pardon me...I assume when someone says that something gets on their nerves, that they are unhappy and irritated by something - but if "gets on my nerves" is something positive for you, then by all means! Have a great night!

Okay, is there a point to this????

"When looking at your two paws, as soon as you have decided which of them is the right one, then you can be sure the other one is the left."

Winnie the Pooh

Pooh's Little Instruction Book

Probably not...so why would I create a thread and make an issue out of it??? Should I start one? And complain that it's not necessary for adults to quote cartoon characters???

Pooh didn't start out as a cartoon character.

In case you didn't know that.

"If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out,be patient" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes..come talk to me.

Thanks!"

....and this.........

I am quite surprised and disappointed to see a MEMBER, ORGANIZER post irrelavant threads like this

I'm sorry, I didn't spend my life educating myself on cartoon characters or any characters called Pooh.

The point is to say, have some sympathy and sensitivity to people who waited WAY longer than you

what is the point of making a thread to post someones signature?

I don't know.

Maybe it gets on my nerves.

maybe you should let little things like that go instead of starting threads to start trouble, just a thought

Maybe it shouldn't matter how long any of us waited?

what is your problem exactly? something "gets on your nerves" so you make a thread about it and single me out? you have already done that elsewhere.

Ooops, my bad for being able to read.

Wasn't that what you wanted people to do when you put it in your signature? Read it?

I asked people to make a thread to start a fight? no, i dont think i said that anywhere.

again, what is your problem?

p.s- you HAVENT walked a mile in those shoes, so i dont remeber inviting you to "come talk to me"

Hey all I did was read your signature.

I didn't realize I had to have a hand-engraved invitation to read it.

Well, I don't think it's irrelevant.

But then you have to have an understanding that the website is supposed to be more than a cesspool.

It's called English Literature.

Oh my school must've been all ghetto then...we read things like Edgar A Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Jane Austin, Sylvia Plath, and unimportant literary figures like them

I'm not trying to stir the pot here, but I just thought I should point out that the fine folks who set up IP Boards were kind enough to include an option which will allow registered users to disable viewing of signatures on a forum. Simply click on "My Controls" (near the top right corner), then select "Board Settings" (it's near the bottom under the header "Options"). The first option reads "Do you wish to view members signatures when reading topics?" To the right of that is a drop-down box where you can select "Yes" or "No". If someone finds another's signature to be offensive for whatever reason, I would recommend this feature. I think it's a more effective method than creating a thread with the purpose of questioning someone's signature.

For the record, my signature has no "point" to it. But if someone had a question about it, I'd expect them to maybe shoot me a PM to ask, rather than start an entire thread about it.

Yeah, I used to have signatures turned off. For quite a while. I turned them back on a couple of months ago to see something I was told was funny. Probably should have turned them back off after I viewed the fun stuff.

*sigh*

I'm sure I went about this the wrong way. I just really don't understand why it has to matter how long someone waits around here. It literally gets used against people if you HAVE NOT waited a long time.

I see the signature as another reminder of that.

Annoys me.

It pretty transparent as to why you went about it this way.

Lisa -

Ask around. I don't usually do PM's. Better to get things out in the open, I think.

And yeah - it's transparent. If you can read what I wrote, that's about as transparent as it gets.

Nothing more and nothing less. No hidden agendas.

Seriously Rebecca. Why would you even start a thread like this? I really don't see the point. Are you asking for some kind of change, or just bi1tching?
