It's okay. The mod had talked to me about it prior and told me that she didn't want any other arguments starting which I understand.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

Seems to be the thread starter didn't exactly understand what was happening in the thread that offended and frustrated him so much.

No one personally attacked him or accused him of anything - the thread in question was filled with misinformation so several VJ members tried to point that out and clarify. That's what a forum like this is ABOUT.

And there have been many discussions here about people posting information as "fact" when it isn't. It's not at all that people can't feel comfortable asking questions -- it's that it's not OK for people to post things that are not true, as if they were. That's why so many times posters are asked to say things like "I believe" of "I've been told" rather than posting something that are not sure is true.

And obviously it's not at all about trying to convince unknown internet users that one person knows more than another -- it's about trying to provide accurate information to people going through the process.

For me, that's all I've ever tried to do here for the past year and a half -- help to provide accurate information which includes correcting mistakes. And I HAVE NEVER been told I have a "holier than thou attitude", that I should "get a life" or been treated as rudely as the OP treated me.

Perhaps that's why the thread was locked -- so he couldn't go down that road again and post more personal attacks . . . and will most definitely be the reason why I stop posting on VJ - I can't see any reason for me to do continue being so helpful and to be treated so rudely.

I am actually shocked, I can't see how the thread was offensive, it seemed rather friendly and supportive - not perfect mind you, but a calm discussion none-the-less.

Which thread was closed?

Yes, I love it.

Also I have been advised to sort of end this topic which rightfully so, is understandable. I don't want to start more 50 cent style BEEF with any one who may come here and take a look at this...and have a go at me or something. I should have really just brushed it off and not vented in public but thanks for your replies any ways guys.

Now back to the dancing man...

the OP also mentioned that the thread was not ok....

I think everyone's immigration advice should be taken with a grain of salt... no one here is an expert at immigration (maybe a few people) ... we all have our own experiences and most of us base our answers on this personal experience....

even the information from the misinformation lines should be taken with a grain of salt :P

Yes, I love it.

I agree, Marilyn. I also don't think expressing frustration with misinformation should be seen as 'holier than thou'. If anything, its a courtesy to ALL VJers to ask folks not to respond if they are unsure about an answer.

yes, I agree with that...

the OP was probably just having an off moment... we are all human and make mistakes...
