groups

Now that I feel safe with my entrance, and not having to duck or run for safe cover I would like to add my two cents worth and respond to lightofday's posting about unfair managers and moderators...I'm not trying to add to the unfortunate circumstances that have taken place here in the last couple of days, and start another war!

Thanks AZViv for the comment on the managers and mod's who do work fairly with their members. I have a group, one that is now struggling to survive, and yes I get frustrated at times, especially when I find myself playing the role of the Lone Ranger, but my group belongs to all the members, it's their group!..Not Mine Alone! I don't play games, or care about the power of the "Delete Button"..I want everyone to enjoy themselves! I always try and treat people the way I want to be treated, by showing respect, understanding, and keeping an open mind. Granted, I have made some mistakes, and posted items that have offended people, but I will make an honest effort to please everyone and correct those mistakes when it is brought to my attention.

Being a Manager/Moderator is mostly very rewarding, but sometimes it's more like a full time job with little benefits. You can't please everyone! We all have different opinions and that's the whole point in most of these discussions. We won't always agree, or see eye to eye, but the important thing is to respect the opinions of others even when we don't agree.

Please don't throw all the Managers/Moderators in the same category. Most of us work hard to make the groups successful and not out to win a popularity contest or find importance in being the main attraction.

With that being said..if you want to throw stone, rocks, or other objects in my direction..Please do so in a respectful manner...I for one do not find pleasure in pain!
