Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 Why does the new "cool" message board drama remind me of high school? Cliques seem to be something that grownups have a hard time letting go of. And if you post something they don't like, they can delete your message. I've also noticed a clear "us and them" attitude which seems kind of silly. I've also read several messages that talk about various people from this board in a very ungenerous way... I like him, but I don't like him, etc. which is exactly what they criticize others for. I don't understand and to be honest, I don't care very much. I'm just wasting a little time - I got a chuckle out of some observations.<br><br>Also, a question for Blondie -sorry, "MILLENIUM BLONDE" - if, as you say on the new board that you haven't had a drink since last summer, why have you been bragging and boasting all along about your tears? Did you expect that no one would respond or that you would receive no criticism? Or do you just want some attention? This is the impression you have created, so why is it a surprise that someone would respond in such a way to your announcement about a miscarriage? The fact is that women suffer miscarriages more often than we realize. Sometimes it happens without any obvious trauma and unless the person is really tuned in to their body, without the woman even knowing. How can you expect people to be sensitive to your personal reality on a public message board, especially when you give an impression of a brazen, hard drinking, hard living party girl? You must realize what you alone are responsible for.<br><br>And Bandawoman - do you think that by asking advice about getting in and out of difficult second and third series asanas (especially with 'large breasts') would not lead people to believe that you are engaged in an advanced asana practice and that you have large breasts - or was that your intention all along? (Why else would you ask?) And complaining repeatedly about the lack of adequate instructors in your area, presumably implying that your advanced level of yoga has left you without anyone to guide you? These are very clearly the impressions I gathered. Then later, in defense, after someone called you on your stuff, claiming that you are, in fact, not able to complete the primary series satisfactorily. How do you expect people to respond to you? <br><br>I also feign to say that the sheer volume of messages created by you and sunshine and a few others can be silencing to those who are interested in opinions and know in advance that it will be one of you responding - and we all know what your opinions are already, as well as more information about your personal lives than most of us are really need to know.<br><br>So please understand that in nature there is no mistake. I don't criticize your idea to start a new club, it is actually a great idea. I am just pointing out a few realities based on impartial observations. Take it or leave it. The truth is, like I said before, it really doesn't matter that much. Just don't run away pointing fingers at the bad people who told the truth. And I know that if I wrote this on the new club board, it would most certainly be deleted.<br><br>FBL<br><br>PS - I never claimed I could spell well.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 i agree that the idea of the other site is a good one. both sites seem to offer the potential for discussions about ashtanga yoga. both that site and this one seem to have their own distinguishing characteristics that may attract different readers at various times. the other one seems perfectly happy to make space for social type posting or the 'fluff' that a lot of folks here didn't want to wade thru. here, on the other hand, there seems to be a propensity to spar and argue, sometimes in fairly unpleasant fashion. having the opportunity to pick and choose seems like the perfect solution to me. <br>if you don't like those folks or their site, more power to you. but to be honest, i'd rather read about ashtanga yoga here than how you think those people should live their lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2001 Report Share Posted January 6, 2001 Oh really? Did I say how anyone should live their lives? Did what I say have anything to do with like or dislike? No. No it didn't. And I strongly recommend that you skip over the postings you don't want to read. You seem interested enough to take the time to reply to the posting you claim to be not interested in.<br><br>FBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
