LOCKED TOPIC

Daily Chat - Poll

I have a question.....

This site is full of tons of people and yet only a few participate in the daily chat topic at one time. I would like to know how many of you relate to the following -

1. I have never tried that topic
2. I tried it but didn't like the chat
3. I tried it and liked it but left due to my own issues
4. I tried and and liked it but left due to hard feelings and felt "driven" away

Just a little poll I am interested in. Thanks

that's cool....glad you like it.....I just got tired of being made fun of and people yelling at me for saying things that I felt in my heart and wanting me to change core personality traits just to please them......so I left

You can't yell in a chat can you?

kipp.     KIPPPP!!!

I guess you can. 

Someone logged into this site and asked you to change the way you think and feel for their personal pleasure?

This person needs more hobbies.

I will never ask you for that.

Honey, telling people you are going to stop eating entirely is not a core personality trait.

no but telling me not to voice my frustrations in a site that is here to HELP you deal with your frustrations is....

I was constantly told to change and made fun of when I wasn't in the chat......I have always lurked, even when not there.....and people would say something and then others would refer to them as Kipp......

Not a big deal.....I just don't come here for help much anymore....I just log my stuff and leave

But this thread was not meant to be about me.....I wanted to hear others impressions of the clique

No one told you not to voice your frustrations...all anyone ever said was that you should not starve yourself. This site has never condoned that sort of thing...we don't support self-destructive behavior.

This site is here to help you find your own power, not become a victim of fear.

Sorry Kipp.

I will stop pushing on you.

Enjoy what you can!

Hey Kipp.  I too am a 'lurker', and sometimes I feel left out when I reply to a topic, but honestly, I think my own insecurity may be what makes me feel 'left out'.  I dunno, I'm just sayin'

Or it could be everybody else. 

:)

Chris: I read your profile and 'friended' you...I value the kind of honesty you displayed. Good job. :)

and when you are ready, jump right in, we  don't rarely bite...:)

Kathy, I'm smiling right now.  Thank you.  I'm friendin' you back ;)

Hey Kipp, you wanna be friends too?

sure chris.....thanks

How about: I saw the topic, it caught my interest, I read it but never responded because I wasn't sure how to respond or just didn't have anything to say.

sonuds good tiegurl!

The Daily Chat is meant for people to have fun while they are at work. Surely not everyone is going to want to talk about what YOU or anyone else want to talk about at the moment. Honestly, people only asked you to stop being negative and wanted you to cheer up. If that's how you perceive as hostility and "Driven Away", SO BE IT.

You know what? Just because people aren't talking about what you want to talk about (who the heck want to talk about you threatening to starve yourself) doesn't mean they are ignoring you. There are real people suffering out there. If you want, start your own chat thread. No one is stopping you.

babyangie......I guess those things were a cry for help...but instead I got slammed. And I was never upset EVER at the topic of conversation....not even sure where you got that.

I reached out for help under frustration and got my hand slapped.

But thanks for being so sweet to me.....awww....you DO care!

Plus.......this thread wasn't started because I am so upset about the clque-y chat folks.....it's because of someone else recently OUTED.....I just found it interesting and wondered who else felt the same.

That's all

I gave you a private suggestion answering that cry at the time, Kipp. Many people offered much advice to help you and everyone felt ignored by your refusal to listen to it.

And, Angie has been talking with a woman who is losing her son to cancer, so she doesn't see this issue in quite the same light as you do.

Dude, your real agenda is fairly transparent...what occurs between other members is really their business.

Seek love, Kipp, and let go the anger.

i really, really, really, REALLY am trying hard to not say anything about this whole thing because....well, i just think it's silly.

BUT, I have to say this.  Since I think I'm concidered part of the "chat clique" I would just like to say that I have never outted anyone from chat, i don't have that kind of power, in fact, no one but Erik and Igor can keep someone off threads.  had dissagreements with people, not particularly gotten along with some, sure, yeah, that happens. 

But being accused of forcing people out of the chat thread is becoming really offensive to me personally.

that is all from me.

Thank you, Kathy.

Actually, the son with cancer is one of our closest friends, but I have more to talk about with his mother than him. But with all that on my plate, I do see your attempt not only as transparent but childish. For the record, I really don't care whether you live or die, but thanks for hinting that.
