I have been doing my best to just ignore all of it, and laugh but it is becoming more and more difficult to ingnore it. (But not to laugh at it, it is all so silly!) Even the flaming troll stuff. I was wondering, though if Bill D. needed to borrow some treble aught hooks for his trolling.........MudCat trotline, On Duty. Does he count as a (forbid--)Mudcat "Cop"? LOL! From now on, I will try to control myself, but it is hard, so hard. (Too easy, spaw....) |

28 Jul 00 - 10:49 AM (#266570) Subject: RE: WON'T FIND ME THERE!!!!!!!!! From: Peter T. I have come to the dark conclusion that only one thing will slow the bastards down: nauseating sweetness. Overpower them with warm greetings. Ask about their hobbies. It might work. I intend to hold all these jerks in what kat would never call the Holy Light of Mudcat Goo. For instance: isn't it wonderful that people with so little intelligence have mastered such a complex thing as a computer? And to send messages to others! Reaching out for human contact in a lonely world. Can anything be more heartening? SIGHHHHH. yours, Peter T. |

28 Jul 00 - 06:33 PM (#266902) Subject: RE: WON'T FIND ME THERE!!!!!!!!! From: GUEST,harpgirl ...my approach to the last individual (guest) who criticized me thoroughly and also made me cry incidentally, was to respond honestly to what they said that was critical. that is another choice thus far has not been mentioned anywhere...I am aware that most of us are reluctant to criticize publically AND to sign our name. That is why people say things which might be construed as mean and don't sign their names. What does one do with negative feelings? I, for one, have backed off and decided not to voice any opinions about anyone elses written remarks on the forum. That is how I have dealt my own disappointment and my own negative feelings, and I am now mainly lurking. It suits my nature better to listen anyway...... |

29 Jul 00 - 03:40 PM (#267397) Subject: RE: WON'T FIND ME THERE!!!!!!!!! From: Big Mick Harpgirl, can we stop this? I am not backing off my position on what has passed, nor do I expect that you should. And I don't know that you and I will ever be the kind of Mudcat friends that we were, or at least that I thought we were. But I can tell you this. You have been an important member of this community for a long time, longer than I have. I wish that you would reconsider your position. It really doesn't matter who or how many agree with any given position/idea. What does matter is that people who care about this place hang in there. You have always cared about this place, that is not in question. Never has been. Please come home. Please contribute as you always have. I am being completely sincere when I say that this place is better with you than without. I would have sent this as a PM, but it is my understanding that you have eliminated the ability to do that.

29 Jul 00 - 10:00 PM (#267602) Subject: RE: WON'T FIND ME THERE!!!!!!!!! From: Helen Peter, Praise & Gypsy, I started using friendliness as a positive counterbalance to negativity in my working life about 20 years ago and it worked like a charm then and still works in almost every unpleasant work situation I have been in since then. It didn't work in my recently ended work situation but that was a whole new kettle of fish. The offensive person was deliberately nasty, not unconsciously nasty, or just remiss, so he didn't care what I did he just chose to be nasty anyway. The best thing I could do in that case was just to cut my losses and walk away, but in almost every other situation positive, constructive niceness has won out. It doesn't have to be super-cheesy niceness, sweetness & light, either. It works really well by just acting as if everything they say is nice and responding accordingly. And only responding to the content of their words and not the tone of words, voice, gesture etc makes a lot of difference too. It all comes down to respect for each other in the final analysis, I think, and as long as we each demand respect for ourselves and give respect to other people there is a lot less negativity and a lot more constructive outcomes - IMHO (in my humble opinion).

30 Jul 00 - 01:13 AM (#267696) Subject: RE: WON'T FIND ME THERE!!!!!!!!! From: Gypsy You are absolutely right, Helen. But there are situations, where I really can't resist nauseating sweetness, cuz the people in question are deliberately hurtful. In 99% cases, I attempt genuine friendship and light. the remaining 1%, however, grrrr.... |
