Pissy notes/from a moderator

[Guest guest]

Okay folks. I'm getting a pissy attitude myself. Scratch that. I ALWAYS have

a pissy attitude. Why Chris asked me to be a moderator with my mouth and

piss poor attitude is beyond me... prolly had been doing a bit a drinking.

;-)

 

But... I am a moderator and I'm here to tell you that some of the notes

coming lately are really pissy. One small step away from being downright

nasty. I don't like it. This is a list for everyone from those just getting

their toes wet, to folk who have been doing this for donkeys years. The

knowledge gap is wide and varied.

 

This is supposed to be a nice list. No flashing nasty attitudes (except mine

and I'll get my kiester fired if I'm too nasty), just a general sharing of

information and knowledge if one is so inclined. If you disagree with

someone, feel free, just do it kindly. Without sarcasm, biting comments and

implications that you are smarter than everyone else on the list. Cuz you

aint.

 

Now. If you think this note is aimed at YOU, then maybe it is. Next time I

see some of what's been going on lately, you get a personal note from me and

this will seem like it's from little miss Nice-nice Marshmellow girl in

comparison. Unless Chris, who's too nice for her own good, comes in slaps me

down and sends me to my room! ;-)

I wanted to reply to this email, being a new member to this group, I am left

with the impression that I have made a mistake to join. I come to this thought

because I joined to learn more about using oils and hydrosols. I am a soap

maker and also make lotions and other body care products. I am one that is

always interested in learning new things. This year I bought a distiller so I

can make my own EO's and hydrosols ect. So far I see post after post with the

same information with a few added- I agree or things like that. Did I make a

bad choice? where is the learning?

No, you didn't make a mistake in joining this group. But you do have to

realize that some groups adopt a " comfortable feeling " amongst their members and

feel free to add just a line or two of wisdom or comment to a post. Sometimes

that's all that is needed for learning purposes.

I have learned a lot from this group, even though I'm not a very active

member. If there's topics that don't interest me, I don't read them. But stick

around.. You'll learn a lot. I promise!

Michael,

 

Some times when you know a lot like you do it's kind of hard to get new

information in a short amount of time. I say give it time. I'm old hat at

some things on this list too and I have little patience, however, there is

new information. If you're looking for something that hasn't been

regurgitated over and over Start asking questions. I have a tendency to do

many things at one time so I'm rarely inclined to ask questions, but when it

gets down to it if there's something you're looking for and it isn't in the

archives, then you should feel free to ask. Right now it's in a lull,

however there will be times of great information exchange.

[Dave:] Ditto! I’ve also learned a lot here. Michael, I’m also a

soapmaker, and I came here for pretty much the same reasons you did. I also

find this is a list where I can skip over threads or posts that don’t

interest me or address areas I’m interested in. Even so, I’ve been able to

learn a lot from some very educated folks on this list, and I also enjoy the

humor and anecdotal stuff that finds its way here.

I just joined this group as well because I had lots of questions about

essential oils. I have gone back through the messages just searching

through topics of interest and have found so much info on eo's, soaps

and lotions I never read anywhere else posted by people who have way

more experience than I. I have found this group extremely helpful.

=========I belonged to this group several years ago when my time and

interest in oils and herbs was a serious endeavor for me. What I learned,

right from the get-go, was that I didn't know squat and that working with

herbs and oils without a solid background could be dangerous. So, for that

alone, I'm grateful. I left the group for a few years while watching my

oldest granddaughter -- I just couldn't keep up and my husband became very

sensitive to the smell of the oils and I just dropped out of the whole thing

for awhile. I'm back now and again, remembering how very little I really

know, despite the amount of time I've invested in learning.

 

The second thing that stands out in my mind is that before I belonged to

several lists -- but this is the only one that I've rejoined after my

hiatus. That should speak for itself.

 

However, if you really like a stricter environment, I'll comment on the

elephant in the living room -- this group may not be it -- they are

definitely comfortable with one another and enjoy the camaraderie that seems

to flow from that familiarity. I enjoy it, but I know it isn't for

everybody.

 

Perhaps you might want to ask a few questions or initiate a conversation

about something you're interested in just to see how it goes?

Hi Michael,

Whether it was a mistake to join is up to you *S* But I think it is a

fantastic group. Very opinionated people with a lot of knowledge & there can

be some spirited topics but that is what makes this group great. I have

learned so much from the members, Butch, Chris (listowner), & Watts

(alphabetical

order *S*) & many others too numerous to mention. You can't find better

quality ingredients/products that are offered. If you want to know something

all you have to do is ask & you will get a lot of answers & perspectives. And

if you want to rehash anything that has been mentioned in the past they will

patiently explain it again (ask me how I know that one - I pop in frequently

to ask a question & then pop back out again). So please, stick around, join

in, lurk & ask away. Welcome & enjoy some great company.

 

 

God Bless You & Yours,

Georgia (hahagranny)
