Sheri
You have 100's of friends and one detractor. The odds are on your side kid. To the one idiot, I say "Sis on you Pister".
March on with head held high, your friends are at your side.
Oh yeah, glad to see you back Pho.
Keep um" rollin.
Pete

Another thought I've had. No one has ever PMed me, but I'm sure there are people here that don't care for me. Hell, maybe no one here cares for me and are just too nice to say so. ;D
But I degress. My thought that I wanted to share with you is that I will keep on keeping on if for no other reason than to piss off the people that don't like me. ;D
By the way. I really like this board and the people on it. Hopefully there are one or two that feel the same.

All I can say is, what a dick, that person is for saying that. If they were unhappy they should have just said that and leave it like that. Don't need anyone like that here. I'm sure that person is more, [glow=red,2,300]interested in emotional bluster than objective examination and resolution of the issue [/glow]I say we roust the person out so we can tell him/her what we really feel. Must be a newb that doesn't really know alot about rocks, or ebay for that matter.

Sheri, "To thine own self be true"
I posted my Box-O-Hobbit rocks thread before I read this!!! (under member photos) I'm very glad Peyton knows what he is talking about. We love the rock you sent and they are going to the front of the line. john

I'm sorry you experienced that bit of nastiness. Who needs it?! I guess I'll go back to my meaningless posts now. I always thought supporting people and their efforts was meaningful. Stupid me.

You know I agree with all these terrific people that have just posted. You should see the strength in numbers. Just ignore the bad and relish in the friends that you have made here. God bless!

Feedback means alot to me on Ebay, if a seller has a rating of 96.5 with 300 feedbacks, I won't bid. But thats just me, what do I know about Ebay.

The person kind of apologized.
"It was not my intention to upset you. I regret any distress you experienced because of what I reported."
I accept this as an apology and will move on but I would like to say to this person.............please think before you talk!

Sheri, I am a person that says what he means and means what he says. It gets me in trouble sometimes but that's tough! I am honest with what I think. With that said the feed back I left on your material was of course true and honest to me. Anyone who will say what I say or write for that matter is meaningless has not got a clue so let the A.. H....'s coment go. I thought everything I got was fantastic and I got more than a little of it.

Sheri, I stop at this board almost daily so I can listen to and visit with genuinely good people that share the rock polishing interest and YOU are one of them.
Like the vast majority of folks here my words come from the heart.

Sheri, I don't know who this person is, but since he, or she did apologize to you, then he/she is all right in my book. He/she doesn't owe anyone on this board an apology other than perhaps to you since it was a private messagemeant for your eyes only, and he/she owned up to it. A mean spirited individual would not have apologized. Condor

Thats why I posted the apology. I don't think the person is mean spirited. It really did hurt my feelings but I forgive and forget. Not another word about it from me! Thank you to everyone for helping me to feel better.

Call me old fashion but if you have a problem with someone, you should take it up with that person and not airing the dirt in a public forum.

"forgive and forget"
Yeah - I'll buy that - I really can't see that anything exceptionally long term and/or nasty was meant - its too off the tracks and so extremely innacurate i'd take it with a pinch of salt (and some tomato sauce).
I think the level of "meaning" from people here is far far far larger and deeper than anything which can be summed up in one comment - larger and deeper by a long way.
Yeah - forgive and forget - good thinkin.

Sheri - I hope you don't "pack it in" in any aspect - there are a lot of good people on this board that enjoy hearing from you. It's like any family though - someone is bound to say something that hurts someone else's feelings at some point, and usually it's said without intending to hurt. I think it's harder in these contexts (online forums) because we don't know each other as well as we would if we were physically in each other's lives - so we don't know exactly how each person communicates, how sensitive/insensitive they can be, can't see body language, etc. It makes it hard to know the intent and to know what to take to heart. Hopefully you'll see the support and friends you have here and decide to take Mark's advice - "take it with a pinch of salt (and some tomato sauce)" and keep postin' and participatin'!

Onewomanarmy, This thread is an excellent example of a family. In mine, someone is always sticking their foot in the pie hole (usually me) and wounding another person, however slight, intended or unintended. The whole family stands up for the wounded one and the perpetrator (usually me) examines their behavior. The one who is in the wrong (usually me) apologizes to the person that was hurt and all is forgiven. We are better people, stronger people and wiser for the experience (except me, I never learn). Good job all!

Since the person apologized I won't beat a dead horse. As for myself, if I don't have anything nice to say, I won't fake it, I just won't add a comment (that is not to say that if I haven't posted to a thread, it means I have nothing good to say about what I'm seeing/reading, I may not have seen it, there are lots of reasons for not posting to a thread) but I won't say it's beautiful if I don't think it is.
Glad you stayed
Pho, glad you're back

Zowee! All I did was take a day off to sew some curtains! Glad you're still here and that the person apologized. I like our happy RTH family and want it to stay that way. ;D

lol John - and the bigger the family....the more feet and pie holes to be put together... The hope is to always come out stronger and wiser - I'm not one to claim I make that step every time myself either.
