rdfreakI absolutely can't get over some people! I mean geeze, as if this world isn't going through enough crisis'!
Take this recent example with blindbooks! It just disgusts me that some people who are 30 years old (or older) have such low self-esteme that they feel they need to have power over everyone else! Just goes to show that age is only a number! The thing that surprises me is she's meant to be a counsellor or something? Lol that's almost laughable and i would only have to assume that she's different in RL than she is behind her keyboard, otherwise wouldn't she have lost her job by now?! Lol hmm I just have to wonder!
OK take blindbooks! hmm/ maybe about 200 members (more or less) with maybe about seven or eight (or even more) cultures represented! These power trippers (moderators and a few wanna-be's) rule out the possibility of any other culture other than Australian, and everyone has to live up to ours! ha! they're dreamin! it's impossible! Even I understand that, (and this is coming from someone who gets absolutely frustrated and ppl who opt to work in customer service, but do not speak english well at all).
And also these power trippers will have everyone know that just because they are moderator, they can do anything, have the last say, be as contradicting of themselves and any other list members as much as they like! Oh and let's not forget, unsubscribing people who they can't reason with. and banning! Lol! Quite laughable really!
and these wanna-be's (I mentioned in a previous audio post) are so highly strung and sensative that they will do their best to deffend any critissism to the moderator for fear of being an outcast to the click again!
It's all just sooo predictable with some people!
I am proud of how I've changed in so many ways, including standing up for myself and my friends. I will *no longer let people walk all over me nor my friends and anyone else (who does not deserve it). Those powertrippers can stay over one side of the fence, and let me stay on the other! :)
Gotta just love those who can totally ulter their personality/behaviour from behind a keyboard! wow, that's gotta be tricky! (sarcastic smiley - as jaws scripts for msn say)
We have some amazing people on this earth I will admit! I think it's a real shame that some people have to treat others so badly just to make themselves feel good and look important! I admit, I use to be like that a bit I think. I really did! and, like I said in a previous post, it was because I had such low self-esteme myself. I would, before I became rational about it, not hesitate in writing to mailing lists and get extremely hurt when I'd get crittisism or differing opinions in return.
Now, I say what I think within reason! I am not a bitch in my nature. I have simply learnt to respond to those who treat me, or my falo earthlings in a totally undiserving and/or unreasonning manner!
You certainly have to be tough to live in this world! sad but true!
I just wish ppl would either toughen up or shut the heck up! that's the way it has to be! *sigh*
OK just unsubscribed from blindbooks as powertrippers sicken me.
P, moving on would be well and good if everyone could just come to an understanding of each other. But it does not seem like it's about to happen any time soon.
As for Australians being blunt and direct, speak for yourself! I may have my opinions on something, but I certainly respect others for having different ones to mine.
And I would like to second everything Jen said in her message! Obviously there has been a big problem with the way the majority have read some of these recent list messages. so instead of trying to gain power trips, please let us find some manners and some shame. And, kindly realize we all make mistakes from time to time, and fess up and admit to them.
We have a very confrontational moderator on this list. She has a very strong personality, and it certainly does not go down well with many, (including myself the majority of time). But people will be who they are, and we can't change that.
I suggest that everyone who has been personally humiliated or ridiculed for no reason at all, unsubscribe as I'm about to do.
All most are trying to do is be respectful of everyone else, but it seems like we can't please everyone no matter how much we try.
I personally do not agree with mailing lists where the moderator/s are allowed to be so contradicting and have the last say as the list rules, especially when there are soo many contributors to this list. I think it's a real shame that we have some people (in any country, not just Australia) who aren't willing to listen to their falow members at all when all they are trying to do is be rational and rescue us from disaster!
I am ashamed at having been labled as "blunt and direct" just because i'm an Australian!
Before I do unsubscribe and, as funny as this may sound, invite and encourage anyone else to unsubscribe who have been the victom of these un-necessary personal attacks (which could almost go down as harassment), allow me to offer some suggestions/advice.
J, please read your own messages. and don't post if you can't take responses back at you. (simple and it's actually advice I took years ago myself when I had problems with people having differing opinions to me).
P, if you don't want to contribute to a discussion that's fine, but quit your one-liner messages asking everyone to get on track when people are obviously hurting and need to respond to un-necessary attacks made at them.
Thirdly I have hardly contributed to this list, so I certainly wouldn't be missed (Lol) but I know a lot of people who have contributed and are now leaving due to this recent bouts of attacks. I think it's a real shame as those of us especially who can't access bookshare will now miss out on any final opportunities.
I will say this again; try and be tolerant of each others' cultures! because you are never going to be happy with everyone no matter how hard you try. It's a fact, and you can't change it. if you don't like it, then you know how to unsubscribe and go about finding books in other places. simple.
Finally power trips are not popular and will result in a lot of people leaving. So if anyone has any respect for their falow members, you should remember this and just calm down!
I have sat here, read all these messages, and am disgusted at the way some have been treated, (even myself in the past for having an opinion.) So farewell and good luck those who wish to stay, grinning and baring.
Cheers!
