Whatās always interesting when I see this flare up is noticing, in myself, the āhey how did I miss that fracas!ā ā the evil urge to have gotten mixed into something better left alone.
Just walk away ā silence ā is for sure the best and hardest response. Good learning here.
Glad I missed whatever it was. Thanks SB.
New member LedBuy is a troublemaker. I reported him/her to SB. He asked me how many flashlight I have, and I told him/her around 60. He/her then went off telling me I had mental problems and accused me of being female. Whe the hell is that all about?
Lately it seems there are lots of āharshā posts, derailed threads, misunderstandings and word abuse!
I do understand that we have āfree speechā, and that we are free to express our ideas, even if they are conflicting with those from other members.
Iāve read that and hence my bump on this thread, cause I didnāt want to answer on that thread nor to āfire upā the posting!
I would say ānever mind, you donāt need to prove anything to him or her!ā
Iām sure you are a flashaholic and proud of that as I am and many other members here are! :sunglasses:
And there is nothing wrong with that
There was a thread on it, and the overall āfeelā of BLF has changed. It is still there, but is being shadowed by a lot of other āfeelsā now, for lack of better terminologyā¦
Iām reasonably certain thatās the newest incarnation of FireFlyMod. Planned obsolescence ranting & oblique digs at the US in the music thread are pretty sure signs.
When I say āderailedā is mostly when āinsultsā or very conflicting themes are being posted, offending people directly! I know that many threads get derailed regarding the āoriginalā issue/theme, and I guess that it is one nice thing as it opens some possibilities to discuss new themes or ideas!
Diversity of opinions or ideas are positive when contributing to some development or leading to a nice āfeelingā, but it doesnāt mean that we need to offend each other
I like being āhereā, so I appreciate the good vibe this forum normally has :sunglasses:
Thanks to SB, LedBuy is no longer. That said, Iām friendly to all. I donāt go out of my way to make anyone feel bad even though I might no agree with what they are saying. I just donāt comment. It seems some new members want to make a mark for themselves. Theyāre just doing it the wrong way.
