Cheer up Sheri! I was very,very pleased with the rocks that you sent for the Friendship Table,There are a few on RTH that make some negative comments now and then but they usually complain about everything,so i wouldn`t worry about it,it isn`t worth it. When you do your best that`s all you can do.theres 991/2% behind you.........................Rocky

Hmmm...
So someONE here at RTH thinks "I am glad that you are getting good news. But also be aware that the norm of this board is to say nice things even about average material. Like positive feedback on ebay it is almost meaningless."
I wonder who it could be that has somehow managed to get in side all of the other members' heads and has decided that when we say anything nice or complimentary about someone or something on this Board "IT IS ALMOST MEANINGLESS"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe we could have a contest to figure out who is one of the most overbearing, insulting, tactless, uncaring, spiteful, meanspirited, my-way-or-the-highway, preening, self-righteous members at RTH. No wait. A contest like that...well it would almost be meaningless, now wouldn't it?
Sheri, Remember that sticks, stones, cabs, and carelessly tossed rocks can hurt you, but MOST RTH members know the difference between just being nice and being truthful. Put this member in the same box as your ex and toss.

Sheri....you are the reason I returned to this board. No matter what anyone else may say about you, I know you are very honest, kind, and generous. Know that you have a special place in my heart and my home is always open to you at any time you need it. Just because a person says something don't mean it is true. Keep your head up, you have done nothing wrong. I agree with Dan,,,,,we still love ya a bunch. Huggles my friend. Like an old song says,,, "when you need a friend, call on me"

Sheri You cannot anyway, anyhow, please everyone. Don't even try, it will just make you nuts. I see you are doing eBay sales. I have been selling on eBay for over 9 years. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that you will not please all your customers. Do your best and that's all you can do. That's all that is expected from most folks. The others don't matter.

Hell Sheri, Some people just have diahrea of the mouth, its not pretty and it always stinks, but don't let it affect you. I watch for your posts, keep them coming. And as soon as my boxes of rock get here I will be sure to post something meaningless about them. I may even include pics, just to back my meaningless posts up. kind of reminds me of a joke I got in my email last week, I will try to tell it as best I can in the condensed version.
A police officer pulled over a man for speeding, as he was writing the man his ticket the man proceeded to call the officer every name in the book, and was downright nasty. When the officer presented the ticket for the signature, the man noticed there was a small notation on the bottom of the ticket that said "AH". He asked the officer what this meant and the officer said thats a note to myself so I can remember when we go to court that you are an asshole. When the court date came the officer was on the stand, and the defense attorney brought his attention to the AH notation and asked him what it meant, the officer replied Aggresive and Hostile. The attorney asked are you sure? The officer replied yes he was sure, the attorney asked again, are you sure that it doesnt stand for asshole? The officer replied, well you know your client better than I do!
Well, hope I didn't offend anyone, and if I did, Oh well. Have a nice day...............Tony

Always amazes me how some Ebayer's treat that site like a regular store? They want to return things? They want stuff to be literally 'given' to them when you make a small mistake. I've been a member there as many here have as well for years, & I can say with certainty that there will always be a 'few' that expect perfection, yes, store bought perfection! Incorrect packing methods, not fast enough delivery, not happy with the item (even though they have ample time to ask questions & see the item through your pictures) &, if they are unsure they can always ask for additional pictures through emails or by listing more in your auction. Usually, these same people are unhappy in their own lives & only want to spread their misery unto others (misery LOVES company). Then they wonder why they have few "close" friends or even other family members that want to 'deal' with them. Hang in there. It's the exception, not the norm . Last

Hang in there Sheri, Please don't let one person change how you do things. For that matter don't let anyone change them, I understand that you are hurt and angry but who is running your life?
I understand how you feel, someone once disagreed with me. Of course that was years ago and they were totally wrong HA.
Seriously, don't change yourself, do what you want, when you want. If someone else doesn't like it then it is just bloody tough.

Every once in awhile the real world creaps into this board, but I would say mega byte for mega byte there are more nice people here than anywhere else. Lets all close our eyes and feel the love:) And remember we are all people on the other end of the keyboard; even if we use cool online names and people are not perfect and thank God for that. It would be like a world filled with just one type of agate and one type of jasper. Hang in there:)

Oh that's just terrible ! Seriously, there are so many people here - don't let the stupid remarks of one numbwit ruin the experience here for you. I've never had the pleasure of buying from you, but trust me - it's not from lack of wanting to !! Hang in there, and chalk this "person" up to just another leaverite

Yep, it is easy for us to say "just let it go" but I know how irritating digs like that can be as I don't have very thick skin. I hope it doesn't get you down too much and like Polished said, he or she is a Leaverite. :/

Sheri, I've gotten my feelers hurt by a few Board members here. I'm still getting the cold shoulder from some! I even deleted my membership if you will recall. You know what? It wasn't worth it. The enjoyment I get from being here far outweighs the negativity and downright stupidity of a few nasty backstabbing people.
It's just like anything else in Life...live and learn. I know there are people here who care and those people are worth sticking around for. I count them as true friends...
I'm gonna re-post Tequila and Salt just for you!
Sheri, you're one of the good ones!
:-*S
Tequila and Salt
This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. You mean the world to someone. You are special and unique. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. When life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over! Good friends are like stars…….. You don’t always see them, But you know they are always there.

In my short time here I have seen some mean spirited people. They usually wind up fading away. Don't let the misery this person has pent up bother you.

There's always a lump or two in the oatmeal Sheri. Please don't let one person cause you to stop posting when there's lots more nice people here who love rocks and their fellow rock-ers. It's all about the hobby and the joy it brings people. It's about finding things in common with people from all over the world. There's really no place like this anywhere in the world. And in the end it comes down to rocks. There's always going to be a few in every crowd and everyone has their own opinions. I hope you stay around the board. I just try to keep it as light and all about rocks as possible. I see some of the harshness and disrespect that goes on here from time to time, and when I do I choose to stop reading the message and move on quietly to the next posting.
Oh and on another note, it's good to see you back Pho! Steve
