CBI

I am really sorry that some of you are so callous. Some of us have not had an opportunity to express our concerns therefore upon climbing on board for the first time allows for an exchange of thoughts. If it is too much for those individuals who have felt that this has been talked about into the ground please just don't read the messages. Many times it is important to hear from others as to what their thoughts are and possible actions taken. This leads to results. The more info that is published the more ammunition you have to use to prohibit usery and abuse.

Robert, I agree with you. Please forgive me for attempting to pacify the posters who are tired of the issue. I just prefer to 'tread lightly' to avoid trouble.
If you wish to email me off-post, I would be happy to update you on any aspect of the issue you might have otherwise missed and/or engage in general conversation about the GLB/BGC issue.
I look forward to hearing from you
Lisa

Just curious why anyone should feel they have to tread lightly? That is akin to being married to an abuser, walk around so as to not cause someone to beat you. BS.

You "old and calloused" should go OUTSIDE and breathe.

re: "old and calloused"...

I prefer not to think of my peers, or myself for that matter, as 'old and calloused'.

We are a collective group with a common interest... we are not cookie-cutter by any stretch. Lots of different personalities make for an interesting community. I may not always agree with a person, but I always respect that they are entitled to their opinions and views. Again... my personal choice was to ask that we not 'beat the dead horse' on the Message Board. I (graciously) added that ANYONE is welcome to call or email me should they care to discuss the issue further.

No one has forced me to keep this topic off the message board and no one has directly asked that I 'keep it short and sweet'. It is out of respect and courtesy that I have chosen to do so.
As I stated to Robert, I would be happy to discuss the issue at length either via email or by telephone with anyone who needs 'catching up'.

My posts on this issue are merely to keep our Notary Community apprised of any progress that I personally have made.

I was just pointing out that the answer to any (and I mean ANY) question you might have about this could be found using the "Search" feature here - every aspect of this issue has been disected and discussed in depth...

Then that kind of leaves everyone out who had not participated in the thread the first time around. Who CARES IF you are sick of it? Stop reading the darn threads if you are so sick of it.

I am pretty sure those of us who are new are really sick of your "DO A SEARCH" replies too.

***I am pretty sure those of us who are new are really sick of your "DO A SEARCH" replies too. ***

yep, which is why it's said. Somehow new posters feel entitled here lately to answers for basic notary questions. This isn't a website classroom for notary101.

If you make it here a couple of years, you'll see it to and become somewhat calloused because the new ones have this give it to me now attitude, it doesn't fly here.

Sorry but that attitude is unacceptable in my opinion. What, are we supposed to just sit here for a year or whatever YOUR timeframe is, before we start posting and interacting? I think not. I am not going to wait to become calloused. What a ridiculous reply you just made.

Are you even a paid member? What have you contributed tp this site or to your profession? Do ou have any idea what someof the others who you think made a ridiculous reply have contributed. Studying any community before you jump iand dispell any doubt about being an ass is the usual norm.

HAH I have studied this "community". Why do you think I do not participate here?

You DO realize that SS and TC see your behavior? I would never hire people that speak like you do.

Meanwhile, I am collecting my checks while ya'll sit around discussing what morons the "newbies" are.

ps: Why can't you old and calloused just not read the posts you feel so inclined to be rude on? I don't get why you think you have to be rude? HOW are we supposed to learn if you cannot act PROFESSIONAL and interact with us? Isn't that the calling card of this site? PROFESSIONAL?

Re: CBI...I apologize if you thought I was being callous

would you care to expound on what makes my post rude? There's a difference between being rude and stating fact. Also a 'professional' will research for answers to questions or study their state manuals or take classes.
If you take your business seriously, you cannot expect it to be handed to you on a silver platter by a notary forum's members. Sorry, but I see a definite pattern of newbies with an attitude expecting basic answers and get their feelings hurt when told to search for it, it has nothing to do with how long you're here before you can interact.
Also, there are many newer agents that are intelligent enough to search and when they have exhausted their own search, they will ask a question and get an answer to it. Lose the attitude and search, maybe sooner or later you'll get how it works.

Kim Kim, you have given excellent advice... Hopefuly you

won't take this the wrong way, but you should also take your own advice. It's ALOMST always better to ignore the rude comments. Just as you tell the old timers to ignore the posts they don't appreciate...
It's very good advice for old timers and newbies alike....

Re: And you came to that conclusion intuitively? Right!

What you don't get, is that you thrive on negativity, and it shows in your posts. See you just took ANY ooportunity to bash someone that has not even posted in this thread

Why would you do that? No wait, I don't care why. I know why. I understand, it is exciting and makes your heart race. Unlike ignoring a thread you really have no interest in, other than making other people feel like crap.

Why am I posting in this thread? Because I want the "newbies" to know not everyone is rude. But enough about me

I have checks to pick up and signings to do
