Small aside...
Wednesday, November 27, 2002 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Matter of facts...
I don't belong here, I realize that now after interacting with more folks who HAVE and WILL belong here long after moi. There are plenty of good folks here (don't get me wrong) but it seems the meek get trampled easily by the strong.
No biggy. I tried to feel at home here but the cold shoulders seem to be the most resident aspect that makes me feel unwelcome...Like I'm trying to fit into an "old boys" club and "Lady, you ain't welcome" but we'll "tolerate" your presence if we must. I don't regret spending the 70 bucks because I'm not one to bitch and moan over small change. I never sought affirmation any more than would seek derision but after all this time, just makes me a wee bit sad that I feel as if I'm one of the "un-embraced" (not an actual word btw).
I suppose the kind Leo Bakerstreet (Auggie) himself would call this "drama" but I never took an acting class and drama is not on my mind.
I just hope, that my bucks went to somebody who damned well deserved it.
Say goodnight Gracie...
"Good-night Gracie"
Happy thanksgiving

the best way to fit in appears to be not giving a d whether you fit in or not. enjoy the ride, and if you go walkabout, walk a big circle back to here.

Thank you guys N gals…I mean that so very sincerely…
I guess I’ve needed a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel and when it turns out to be an oncoming train heading to ker-splat me, it’s always a wee bit depressing. I suppose in a perfect world everyone is nice and respects one another and wouldn’t want to “oust” them for whatever reasons.
Yes, I am too sensitive at times, I see the anger and venom spewed at the wallpaper section and yet when people upload WBs that have the dreaded pink parts that are all screwy you don’t hear people screaming to get rid of that section.
Sure, no app is needed to display Wallpaper and for all intensive purposes it’s a freebie…but I find that one of the neatest things about making wallpaper, that every kind of OS can use it and no app needed!
I respect each and every one of you who took the time to speak up and say something intelligent and also kind. It’s very much appreciated.
Maybe it’s stupid to “want” to fit in at all…but I grew up being artistic and pretty much a loner and I thought maybe I would feel some kindred here, and I DO but I also feel sad about the dissention that seems to be between the skinners and the wall artists…
Life is too short, so I won’t make this too much longer…
In closing, the walls aren’t sucking all the bandwidth so why do we have to be the bad guys? HUH? HUH?

I don't think that anybody is against walls. Its's not windowblind skinners against wallpaper hangers. I think that it is easier to produce walls than skins, so it's about 8-10 to 1 in walls to blinds being uploaded. So it would seem that there is more walls being downloaded to walls. I really don't believe that, but I think that is whats perceived. One can't exist without the other. So just blow it off. By the way I don't neither. Stay cool.

Nobody is against the wallpaper section.
I was just SUGGESTED that since the wallpaper section cost probably a couple grants in bandwidth per month just by itself, and that it really doesn't bring in any direct sales to anybody, that maybe we could consider limiting its access.
It was all only discussions, Dark_S, not a Punic War.
Also, as a moderator, I am getting sick of the cry babies complaining about moderation.
But that's just me, I'm like that. When my kids whine that their ice cream serving is too small, I take the ice cream away altogether. Next time just appreciate what you have.
But again, that's just me. I'm whiner intolerant, what can I say.

I'm pissed off. One of my favorite people in the world has been chased out of here because her sensitive nature couldn't deal with certain idiots who constantly spout the same, lame flatulence. How hard would it be for people here to be a little friendlier to each other? Shame on all of you, you know who you are!
And any of you who think that I am attacking you personally, get over your paranoia and confront me directly about it, I am not afraid to listen to whatever you want to say. >

Jam, they are being cool... Don't get up in arms over straight talk
You are such a sweetie pie but there is no need to defend me, I'm a big girl...(big cry-baby girl) but big girl just the same.

Come on Jam, nothing was said to offend anybody. The most offensive things said lately, you're the one who said it.

Jam, I know your not talking about me, because I never said anything on her threads except this one. But I did read them, couldn't understand her most of the time, but what pompous things are you talking about. I'am curious.

WOM, I think that you must be in a very bad mood tonite and I don't want to get in any arguments with you at this time. Talk to me when you can refrain from getting ticked at anything that comes out of my mouth.

Whats to argue about. It was a simple question waiting for a simple answer. I wanted to go and read them for myself to see what you were refering to. As you didn't make those bad things why would I get mad at you?

You seemed to get upset with me over my kidding remarks in the LeCrayon thread. That's all I was referring to in relation to you personally.

Those remarks were aimed at me and this is another thread. So are you going to point me in the right direction so I can see for myself or not.

I'm speaking very generally about all the bickering that has been going on lately between wall paper artists and skinners. I don't have any specific remarks to point you to, I'm only commenting about the egotistical remarks that have been flying back and forth lately and upsetting more than one person, myself included. However, I have gotten over it and refuse to be drawn into pointless arguments on the relative worth of wallpapers, skins and whatever else certain nimrods insist on arguing about.

I guess I understand. Nothing was directed to Dark_Seraphim, everything was just generalizing about the wallpaper section and as a paper hanger she got upset and you got upset because she got upset. So if LadyWolf would have gotten mad you would have came to her rescue? Am I reading you correctly? I really don't see why everyone is getting upset.
