Whats up with the timeline police?

Holy consipiracy theory batman.

They could also lose my file because they think my fiance is cute and want to have a shot with him. And go to his address and find him and seduce him. But that doesn't keep me from posting photos of his cute ####### everywhere.

On a practical level I'm not concerned about the government finding out anything about me they dont all ready know. Some people get the privacy argument some people dont. Its like some people walk in the rain some people use an umbrella.

But... say I happened to be one of the folks who has raised a big stink about IMBRA or something else, say someone at a service center got repremanded for a delay or a response to my call. What if that person was to come to VJ. ...from the timelines they could determine my identity, and in the forums they could probably read about what I had done to get that smuck...then say my file gets lost...hmmmm

Yep I paranoid

seriously.

A few dates on a website will not compromise your case you dumba**. They already have all your details on FILE WITH YOUR APPLICATION. They ALREADY check you out. Duh.

It's a common courtesy to help fellow filers see current timelines of apps. That's it. You choose not to fill it in, many will choose not to help you.

And I just can't understand why, even if we don't agree with someone else's choice to post personal info or not, be it timelines or photos for that matter, can't we just all respect that decision and not jump all down their throats.

In my mind, NOTHING is IMpossible... the Brit government is putting electronic monitoring devices in dustbins...why is it so hard to fathom that our lovely government can't stoop to equally low and rediculous measures? I mean, this site DID have a few members who by all accounts were actual adjudicators. Scoff, as I'm sure many will...and that person never seemed to do anything but answer questions and help folks a lot, but you never know. I don't. Some people have seemingly irrational paranoias about other things, and that may be YOUR irrational paranoia, and I'm sure you don't want or need harrassment over it...SHEESH people, if the fact that someone doesn't have a timeline bothers you so freakin much, just don't answer their questions...it really IS that simple.

That is true, but some people, out of the pure goodness of their heart, will still help them. Which is fantastic and goes back to another VJ'er mentioning karma. Why can't they give some of that love back to others? We're all here to learn, grow, and share. The information that is given is minimal and your name doesn't even have to be listed. I don't get it! There is a veteran, a VJ'er that has been around for a minute, who simply refuses to participate. That's sad!!!

Frances - It's about the principle...

that's too bad that you think that's the prevailing attitude here.

Who is to say this person won't...they've just joined...the fact that you think they won't is pre-judging them. They could sit around the forums answering more questions than anyone, without the aid of timelines, and do a fantastic job of it.

Daniel, I'm so proud.

Cass (bebop the great)

I have a timeline.

I think Uling is referring to this specific VJer who has refused to fill out a timeline. Ever.

Frances - Scroll to the top... He doesn't give a rats backside about participating nor does the other VJ'er that I mention. Whatever....

[Sister Fracas 5]

Also, I'll add that MY timeline won't help anyone going through the process now. Not only do things change all the time, it's hard to say how long a CR1 application filed in Nebraska will take these days....

but feel free to look at it...
