"oink and Carrie, I don't appreciate the "compelled" comments that dismissed my input."
I'm sorry if you were greatly offended. The tone of your original posting seemed , to me, to have been offered in an offensive manner and as such I thought it should be largely dismissed.
---------------------------------------------------
"You may not be able to see it, but when you go "welcome to all" on one hand, while you denigrate the input of a long time member as something to ignore, that doesn't paint you as nice and friendly as you may think."
Yes. I was welcoming the new member, which was my main intent Yes, I may have denigrated you, although that was not my primary intent. I don't see how the length of your membership confers the right to be rude to new people. Yeah, I'm not always painted as nice and friendly. Sorry about that.
----------------------------------------------------
"So you are nice to people up to the point where they don't post the way you want, and then you are rude and dismissive?"
I really didn't see my post as being particularly rude and dismissive. Slightly rude and dismissive, yep, but not to the extent of being any big deal. I thought I kept my posting as brief as possible while hopefully adequately expressing my thoughts.
-----------------------------------------------------
"There's no compulsion in play. I check out the photos and story from the trip expecting to see nice photos (which I did), and then I was perturbed at some of what I saw."
I'm often wrong, but it does sometime seem that your postings to tend to be critical of others. I know I haven't been appointed as the official judge of others peoples actions. And with that, I'll not further judge your actions and butt out of this thread
-----------------------------------------------------
And another hearty welcome to the new guy!
Edited to correct a minor typo and to admit that yes I judged, expecially in this second post. It seemed I was being asked by Kathy to elaborate on my earlier post and respond to her response, so I did. I shouldn't judge either. "Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged." So I guess I'm fair game now.
