Are things seriously this horrible on Specktra?

Coming on to a site and mentioning another site that competes for the same audience on one of my sites? You'd be history the first time. It was in the TOS and I never hesitated to use it.

Yeah, you own it, do whatever you want with it. Was it popular site?
But talking about dictatorship.
You must have been scared not to lose people.

Stop being childish and pointing out little unnecessary things. Is that your best retort? Pointing out grammar mistakes?

I'm so friggin' confused right now. Maybe it is my jacked up eardrum? WTF exactly is happening? I feel scared. And cold. So cold.

Guys you are completely missing the point here and just started arguing, making fun of people like high school cheerleaders in one-liners and changing the topic. You can talk about Thanks or T.emptalia for another 5 pages, it doesn't matter. It's not important. It's that group of people is imposing their game here and if you don't play their way, you're out. And not because of breaking the TOS. Proof are comments like 'If you don't like it here, then go somewhere else'.

If Janice didn't care about opinions like mine and those opinions of people from LJ, why she even bothered posting this thread? Because it is about dicussing Specktra and it's good and bad sides. And I said it. Even in nice way. I didn't attack anyone or spit on anyone's work, but you all got defensive and yes, specktra is perfect, whatever.

You act like I said it was nest of evil, some deep down and dirty hell place - if it was, there wouldn't be members so please stop pointed that out.

Here's cup of warm tea or coffee or hot chocolate, whatever you like. Nothing, just some discussion going in wrong way

Are you serious? I haven't called anyone names, and I've apologized about anything I've been wrong about, and conceded to a few things on this thread.

Here I was, thinking that this was a good thing, and you pull THIS.

You're just being obnoxious.

 

[rbella]

Thanks for all the warm tidies, because I've never been more confused in my life. Off to my safe place....

Didn't you get the memo? I am the grammar police.

I don't think it's unreasonable to tell someone to go somewhere else. If someone doesn't like something, then why would they stay? It's the same thing if someone said "I don't like my job", then get another job! Go somewhere that makes you happy, no one is forcing people to stay. This site is fulfilling the needs of a large number of people so it shouldn't have to change for a select few.

Not everyone was posting insults, in fact the majority were stating their opinions very clearly and in a civil manner.

And the people that are "out" are only that way because they chose to be. Rules are there to be followed and if you consciously decide not to follow them then you face the consequences. That's just the way the world works.

I also think resorting to nit-picking and name calling is a regression in maturity.

Actually it was. It's not so much anymore because they don't punt the troublemakers. And no I didn't care if people left. When I quit the membership was growing at a steady rate. Not so much afterward because the new admin let the drama kids run rampant.

SOV I'm having a hard time figuring out what your real point (if any) is with all of this.

Ok, noted. Thank you for clarification. (and just in case it's not obvious, I'm NOT sarcastic, if someone misunderstood, discussion could go in different way)

I apologize. I stooped to their level of High School immaturity, it won't happen again.

That has already been clarified in post #264.

No one is being defensive. We are each explaining our respective opinions. No one said you were here to "spit on anyone's work" or "attack", so I don't know where you are getting that from. No, Specktra is not perfect. No one said that. No one is perfect. That's a fact of life.

I don't completely follow this statement. The second half is a bit confusing. As far as the "You act like I said it was nest of evil, some deep down and dirty hell place"...really? How? This isn't an exorcism, it's a discussion.
