| Rather than clean today (ugh) I took a walk through memory lane and read the posts going back one year. An interesting pattern came to light, I found that I could predict what a particular poster was going to say! ROFLMAO! Then I wondered why particular posters are always negative, or foul, or threatened while a select few are always warm, welcoming and helpful. I actually could vision teachers that my son had when he was very young, I remembered the ones that shouted at him how ungodly stupid or lazy he was. How could I remember them? Well that's quite simple, they were the ones that left the undeniable sour taste in his mouth when it came to returning to their classroom. He would hate the entire school year because he couldn't please them and they weren't about to recognize him for being an individual. Then I recalled those that he loved, the patient ones that found value in the little things that he did. The ones that encouraged him, that taught him, that educated him in firm but fair ways. The ones that gave value to him as a person were the ones that helped to structure his personality. We never know who we are touching and some of us don't care to think about how. To those posters that are fair, patient, understanding, knowledgeable, sharing....you are highly respected and it's obvious to me that you're well grounded and totally aware of who you are and what you can accomplish. To those posters that prefer to stir the pot and are surrounded with negativity, you appear to be frightened of your future and not at all in touch with who you really are. You're a poor example of a professional and I have to wonder if you only post because you must be professional when on a signing so why not throw caution to the wind and come in here and take out all your hostility on the first unsuspecting poster you can find. Frankly your attacking others is very sad, the pattern is there for all to see. It truly must be a sad life to constantly toot your own horn. I say that because I never see posts about how truly helpful you are or how well respected you are in this community...you are actually quite invisible and fly under the radar only to surface, attack and then retreat. Accusations and name calling...that's for junior high cheer leaders that are afraid their place on the squad will be taken by someone a tad less attractive. |
