| I was on the old Sober City AA forum. There wasn't any mods on there. Glad, we do have them here for someone wishing to cause trouble Too bad, we come into this site or any place real thin skinned sometimes and don't like to hear what we need to hear sometimes!! |

| I pm someone yesterday, it was to apologise really in case I'd upset this person in some way as that wasn't what I intended to do, I think one of my posts might have been taken the wrong way. I also offered to share something to illustrate where I was coming from with my post, and congratulated this person on their sobriety. I would hate to think I'd offended someone just by sharing my experiences. Maybe some people just want the 'pat on the back' and 'well done you' type of replies to their posts, well, that's fair enough I suppose, we're all different. Maybe we should have a 'congratulate me but please don't post anything that doesn't massage my ego' forum. (maybe not, there aren't enough people here who would use it) I know this might be a coincidence and there might not be any connection to the pm I sent, but it kinda makes me feel I should just not bother reaching out anymore. On the other hand, I've taken advice from others and I'd like to give something back if I can. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. |

That's what the thanks button is all about!! I need to have someone call me on my b.s on occasion. Everyone needs to be reminded of opposing views from time to time. The only thing black and white is don't pick up that first drink!! | |

| its all good in the SR hood. shame that "ignore button" donna work in real life. Cause I'd be one messed up garbage head 'bout right now. "talk to the hand." "tune in" ... "tune out" in the AA meeting. using an "ignore button," that is ADDICT behaviour!! |

| Wise words - but here's another difference between forums and the "real" world - the "Edit" function - I don't like what I said, or how I said it - so I can take it back and change it! |

| Lessons to be learned If I used the ignore feature on everyone I disagreed with, I would see posts from about 8 people. Everyone of us is a teacher and a student in one way or another. I try to learn from all. |

| Thanks...good food for thought, Rob B and Reed. There is no use in hiding, and ...."what anyone thinks of me is none of my business" . Is it something we are afraid to hear? In some instances, though, I feel we need to re-group and learn the lesson quietly on the inside...then return to facing fears and the truth better equipped from the inner being. For something so simple this has been a great lesson... |

| There are times when I have put someone on ignore until I was in a position to respond not from anger or defensiveness but from a constructive point of view. I have found that the ignore button is a good way for me to take a break, walk away, and get centered again before I approach someone. It makes for a much smoother and constructive interaction the majority of the time. I do agree with Rob if I left everyone on ignore that I disagreed with I would not be able to read very many opinions as there are many that I don't always agree with. But that is how I learn by reading and listening to others points of view. On another note, the thank you button is a nice thing when it works but for me it hasn't worked in months. So for me to say I appreciate a thread I either have to post a note in the thread or pm the person. |

| I've never used the ignore function - can't be bothered...I can quite easily not read something - but I take nan's point - it might just take the heat off for a bit. For me it's not about disagreeing - I can handle that not everyone agrees with me - but some posters do annoy me, from time to time...  D |
