in being paranoid at my uncanny ability to kill threads???

[indiasmum]

it seems recently that everytime i post something recently esp on otherwise active threads as soon as i post, i kill the thread (or else get ignored completely! what am i doing wrong? am i a complete online social imbecile?

Oh, come now Pan don't act the innocent.

When I posted that I had a DS, I didn't actually think anyone would know what I was on about.

...nighty.

night

morning

Morning, FLETCHAR

Lol...are you still arguing???

Just read what you all wrote after i had toddled off. Sorry to hear people have been mean. Don't know what thread you meant though, must have instinctively stayed away.

Not arguing

Tussling

TN get yourself over to the poetry thread and see what I have posted, cos I KNOW you will like this one.

I think on a public forum people do have the right to debate and to express their many and varied views.So long as it isn't inciting hatred.

I avoided a certain thread because the subject being debated was/is way too emotive and personal too me.

You sometimes need to actually be physically with someone to express and articulate certain things, words on a screen can lack compassion and sentiment, be misinterpreted.

Also, I am an utter twit, which is the main reason I felt sad

Well although i don't actually know you, you don't sound like a twit to me. You'd have to be incredibly thick-skinned not to get upset by anything on MN. I've learnt that and i've only been on here a coupleof weeks (i think...lost track of time!).

I killed another one last night btw - the 'do you ever get the feeling you don't fit in' thread. A subject close to my heart.

It can also be wonderful on here.

Have you had a look at the poetry thread in Culture Vultures at all?

[Hope that doesn't sound poncey ]

The most interesting people I've ever met are those that, 'don't fit in'.

After all, what is it that you are not, 'fitting in', with?

I have never been on any culture vultures threads. I will have a look though!

Sometimes, you just need to focus your thoughts and energies on the more uplifting things in life, and art and literature can be a great way to help make sense of an often sad and weary world.

For me it's about confidence i think. It seems like everyone's got loads of people to fall back on, or loads of friends to go and have coffee with or whatever. Mind you i can't say i have bucketloads of time for maintaining friends, but it wouldbe nice to have a couple all the same IYSWIM. Yes, boo hoo, billy-no-mates is me!

I suppose we always think we should be 'this' or 'that', and we compare ourselves to others, believing that they are more popular, more confident, more everything.Tis human nature.

I think you can spend a whole lifetime focusing on the things that you think will make you happy and fulfilled.I do that all the time, I don't always see the positive.

Before you know it though, this life will be over, and it will have been wasted.

I do understand what you feel completely.

I think lots of people feel the same way to a greater or lesser degree.

Ok. Just read some of the poems on the poetry thread. Some are very inspiring, some are, well, not to my taste. Someone asked if there were any poets on MN on one post, which make me think. I wish i hadn't thrown mine away! Not that i am 'a poet', but i write a mean rhyme when it comes to bitching about neighbours

I may go and look at the poetry thread.

Can I share with you the reading that my DS2 (7) did at my wedding?

Yes, that would be lovely.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh.

?Pooh!? he whispered.

?Yes Piglet??

?Nothing? said Piglet, taking Pooh?s paw.

?I just wanted to be sure of you.?

Now say awwww with me

Was the thread that got to you yesterday regarding something in the news Tnog?

Awwwwwwwwwww! Very sweet. Now off to get baby dressed. As dh said, i'm on MNso much now i might as well get it on a drip

Fletch that is lovely

Yes, it was that thread.

I'm too sensitive sometimes and it's a difficult complex subject.
