Truly amazed how a simple question can be turned into such a problem

You know, I'm a nice guy, I stay to myself for the most part, I try to when I can. I show great respect for others and authority.Yet asking a simple question in a forum that encourages questions, complaints and what have you to the BL staff was met with answers calling me arrogant for having asked my question in the first plachelpe. Told pretty much to go stick it as my request would require too much work and an over all feeling that I had some set of balls to have even asked my question in the first place.

You know yesterday all I could do was praise BL because I felt like it was a community where we all could come together on common ground, with common issues, and common challenges. Now today I feel as though I'm an out cast banished back to my place of hell in which I have tried for years now to get out of and finally feel like a useful part of society. Perhaps I am taking the responses a little to rough, but I say deal with it. I have the right to speak my mind and and be that better man then I was. Whatever the case, I think I will find myself keeping it quiet around here for a while now. I will not speak unless spoken too, and I will not involve myself in anyone else's issues. Hopefully this will keep me out of trouble.

Peace out for now......

 

Well since I can not figure out how to edit a blog entry, I will make a comment, I happened to check my post that angered me enough to write this blog in the fashion I did. Serated actually had written an update to his comment stating the satire was meant for BL and not for me, as I guess he was agreeing with my points in my original post, so while my frustration with BL's handling on my question still remains, the part that someone was calling me hubris for my post was actually sarcasm towards BL, and not me, so I thank you serated for clearing that up and standing behind me on this one!

Peace!

But without contribution of other members how can we help one another

I'm very much like you, a nice guy, and input from someone like me would help me more than an opposite could

edit: ^ didn't see that, glad things cleared up :D

 

Necr0sis, I still don't plan on talking much for now until I understand the rules better around here. Since the mods as I have been told do to much work moderating and there fore don't have the time to PM you when they delete your post, then I'm not going to waste my time writing posts until I fully understand what is going to be booted or not. It's not fair to me or to anyone I may be posting to / for.

While I do see your point, that it us that helps each other and we need each other to make this place work, point is simply, I'm tired of having my posts removed with out anyone giving me the courtesy of telling me why. I don't find that do be very fair. Just my thought.

 

The main guidelines for each forum are usually posted near the top of said forum, either as an announcement, sticky post, or in the case of blogs as the Featured Post. Read those before posting in the forum, and you should by 99% of the way there to understanding how that forum is run.

Since you didn't mention anyone by name in your first post, I'll leave this here for now. Keep in mind though that this isn't the place to air grievances about staff or other BLers. That's what Private Messages are for, especially for issues with staff.

With regards to being able to edit your posts, it seems like you figured it out for the above comment. For the actual entry itself, if you hover over the title a little pencil should appear. Click that, and you'll be able to edit the post. You can also delete posts from within the editing interface (just scroll down).

 

Dave, I always check the guidelines of all forums before I post a thread in one, I am very careful of that which is why I attempted to originally PM the preson, becaue I could not get a hod of them via PM because their Mbox was full, I simple asked in the support forum for someone to pass a msg along to the person i was trying to get a hold of and that is what started what I feel wa sa complete waste of time going back and forth in a thread. I posted my blog as general as I could to not implicate anyone in particular so as not to offend anyone but just use the blog as a sounding board of what was on my mind. And if I understand the nature of a blog, that is exactly what I blog is for, it do write about what ever is on you mind, unrestricted and allow you yo vocalize your day in kind if like a diary of sorts, but it appears, I have even messed that one up too. These are the reason I feel like bluelight may not be the right place for me, apparently everything I have been writing has be against some rule in someway or another, and I do not know how to get around this. If you are saying that once again I have broken the rules of this blog, then please send me a link to the rules of proper etiquette of the blogs here and I be mover then happy to read them as I do not see anything on the site.

As I stated in the past I really like it here, but every single day I try to fit into the community, once again someone has to tell me Ive done something wrong and it's getting pretty damn old and annoying.

 

Point made but I never once pointed out and Bluelighter or called attention to them in any demeaning way. What I called attention too was with the way in which some bluelighter (who were never named specifically had responded me to my original question. So I still do not see what I have done that was so wrong. I feel like I am being crucified for having asked my question in the first place. Obviously, no matter how many times I have proven I have not broken the rules, someone else comes by and tries to pin another rule on me. So whats apparent to me is that it;s ok for mods and admins to not follow the rules but god for bid, a member breaks a rule and trys to bet an anser as to what or why he apparently broke a rule, it is met with much resistance and with the attitude of we are always right, your just a member deal with it because you have no chance i hell to win you case. On that note, I will not be following this message up with any further comments and if it is felt by the community that I am causing too much trouble here by sticking up for my rights as a member, then please let me know and I will cash in my chips and resign my membership, or you can terminate me if you so choose. It's just amazing how a simple question into a land slide of BS.

Per the BL Blog Guidelines: If you feel the need to discuss another Bluelighter's actions you may not be happy with in your blog (it is your place to vent of course!) and you do not want to lock it then please do not make any reference to them specifically.

Both of which I did... 1 I did NOT make an reference to anyone in specific in my original blog, and 2 I did not make any references to them specificallly. So once again I followed the rules but somehow Im getting a feeling by the last post I broke them some how.

 

Now today I feel as though I'm an out cast banished back to my place of hell

come on dude, try and get some perspective on the issue.

btw I'm testing out your double-blog-post thing. let's see what happens...


EDIT: it worked fine for me...

 

Felix, Hopefully you saw my other post where I was apologizing for being a bit on the dramatic side. I was in a bad place mentally and have been for the last 2 weeks due to my being pretty sick, and wound up in the hospital with severe bronchitis. We originally thought it was pneumonia so they put me on 2 IV antibiotics and 1 to take for 10 days at home plus a nebulizer. Last year I got it 2 days after having my gall bladder removed and I was admitted with a collapsed lung, pneumonia, and MRSA of the blood from the surgery. So as you can see I am terrified when I get sick like that and I tend to become very emotionally draw and will then I say shit like this because I become so drained. So forgive me if you would as I should have dealt with this a lot differently, my mind just wasn't there.

As for the issue with the duplicating blog posts, I can make it happen at will so any ideas on what I should try on here to possibly fix this if it's on my side? I have tried this on other blogs and this doesn't occur for me anywhere else
