My unwelcome Thursday surpriseđ¤¨
Well, I sure as heck got a surprise when I turned on my computer today.
One of my posts, a thought provoking post: âTo bribe or not to bribe? That is the questionâ was culled and the comments were closed down.
I received the standard email from the powers that be, telling me of this and it was because of certain replies.
I went into see which replies had been culled, although I already knew deep down which ones and by whom, and sure enough it was a couple of the regular âplayersâ who had replied with either controversial replies or against the guidelines set down here by the powers that be.
Iâm getting rather annoyed at having my posts shut down (as we all are) because people canât behave, or reply without thought and consideration for the rest of us.
There are ways of getting your points and thoughts across with getting the smack on the back of the wrist from those above.
Those of us who start these thought provoking conversations, donât post just for the sake of it, but to get the conversation flowing without anger, without name calling, without conspiracy theories, but more for friendly conversations, help, ideas and different ways of thinking.
We all know who the regulars are that get our posts closed down and Iâm sure you know who you are and no, Iâm not naming names, but can you please try to play nice and think of a different way of getting your points across without upsetting the apple cart.
We all want to stay here, we all donât like the controversial restraints we are under on here, but we all choose to stay here and enjoy each otherâs company.
Please, we have to play nice and obey the rules and guidelines set down, whether we like it not.
