My apologies if I just end up restating what Yann
said....
I always sign my posts with my e-mail address
included, especially when responding to a flamer
and trying to smooth out the situation.
I feel that when one does not sign their posts
while flaming then it is nothing more than an act
of cowardice.
Please, to all those flamers out there (you know
who you are ^.~), have you ever thought before
typing? Do you reread your post before posting?
Perhaps a little rewording could get your point
across without it being so rude. Perhaps you
could get yourself taken seriously.
When your problem is with a person, why not e-
mail them privately? In most cases it does not
work out to get the forum involved.
By anonymously flaming, even though your identity
is not known, you hurt your karma, intergrity,
and honor.
Why not take responsibility for your actions?
Though still a child by age in the eyes of some
forumn members, I long ago learned that to
directly and maturely confront a situation is far
more affective than to anonymously or immaturely
complain and flame.
Who knows, by posting with your name, and posting
politely, you may gain respect in the eyes of
those who you are addressing.
Now, please understand that I am not out to flame
flamers. It is not my intention to start a
fight, and I hope that none have taken it as
such. I'm a bit of a pacifist, and I believe
that every person has it within them to resolve
anything with kindess and a calm attitude. It's
easier and safer to swim when there are no
rapids, right? An odd way of saying it, but I'm
tired and my vocabulary is slipping. ^^;
If a previous (perhaps future, but I would hope
not) flamer has anything to say in response to
this I invite you to e-mail me privately.
Thank you all for your patience and (hopefully)
understanding ^_^
Best Wishes,
Jenny
