Judy,
Thank You for this post!
It's good to know that there are professional notaries on this board, who can make a statement without having to viciously demean someone!
Regarding Victoria Ring. I disliked the notaries bashing her when she was not on the board to defend herself. There is a saying (which goes something like this):" At first they came for the strangers, and I said nothing. Next they came for my friends and I still said nothing. Afterwards, they came for my neighbors and I again said nothing. Today they came for me and there was no one left to speak-up, because everyone was gone!"
It seems as though many of the folks on this board dislike the "religious testimony", an example is "Paw". Yet when he was in the hospital, there were many persons (myself included), who prayed for him and said so on the board! Not one person disagreed!
When people have strife in their lives or just need to vent, often times, they will ask the board members "to pray for" them! There is always a positve response (as it should be).
Many times people will write "God Bless", "in Jesus Name" and so on in their postings.
Therefore, when is it okay to express religious viewpoints and when is it not?
Of course, there will be an array of answers! My point is that, anyone should be able to address an issue without a barage of furious, extreme-wing, notaries sounding the alarm button!
I do not mind when people disagree with me. Infact, I love a good debate! However, what I hate is the verbal abuse and mockery! There is no need! And when these people become angry, they become irrational! Most (if not all) of the "clique" replies to my post, do not even make sense! There is ranting and raving about me and my "religious" views, yet there is no mention of the ill behaviour, in reference to the name calling etc. . . Therefore, it must be acceptable, on this board, to behave in this manner!
Also, what I find interesting, is that when I used the term "Newbie", there were a few notaries who wrote that, "being a notary is long hard work", that I "cannot expect work to be given to" me, that I "should respect my elders" and so forth! Obviously they had not read the post with any clarity or understanding!
It's as though there is a "gang" problem here on the board!
Even though these "foul-talking" notaries may have a wealth of notarial knowledge, I no longer have any respect for them. None at all!
So the next time I read a post, written by one of these persons, that "Newbies are taking away our business" etc. . .I will have no longer have empathy for them. Too bad! Too sad!
Again, I Thank You and all the other Decent (Yes, Decent!) women and men on this board, who have been Very Nice and Very Professional (to me)!
And Yes! I had a Wonderful Day!
By the way, What is an "anon"????
