Our BetterMost Community > The Polling Place
How do you feel about OT posts?
Artiste:
Well said Phillip and others, and thanks!!
It remains that some persons, as members, got or felt offended, and now, do not talk (communicate) and stay in their corner (in their threads) to protect themselves or be careful ( maybe too much??)!! We all get hurt in life, at different times!!
Maybe this board, especially, this thread has and will help some to come back to more and varied communications?? I pray so.
More ways to help each other... can be found yet and thought about?? Hope so!! You all have helped me and be assured that I am very grateful and pleased, and seek your continued entraide (mutual help) !!
Hugs!! Let freedom keep on ringingon Bettermost and thanks to all on it!!

To be understood is the most important!!
To be helped too is of importance!!
Mutual help is great and needed by all too!! WE all know that no one is an island!!
Keep on doing good work all moderators and all members!!
Hugs!!

Artiste you make me think of this poem:
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
and alas, I am probably OT...
(I am not trying to advocate any religion or anything, I hope I haven't offended anyone by using the word "poem")
Artiste:
Thanks BelAir!
I like that poem you added.
I do not like the sentence with dying in it... though. Death still puzzles me... as you maybe know.
Rather would like to live!! As you maybe noted in my threads and comments!!
So, I try to be an optimist. That is why I am on Bettermost... and like your efforts and those of others so we can get along and help each other, in wondrous ways.
Of course, my fears are there too. And I have expressed many which some members are puzzled about. Did you see that?
I still do not know what is OT posts... or did I figure it out a bit?
Always glad to see your news BelAir and that from others too,
Hugs!

This would be an -elected- position and would be able to independently examine and provide an unvarnished opinion (minus any personal attacks) of the administration of the community, as well as be a contact point for people who feel their needs or problems have not been addressed and allow the Ombudsman to consider the matter and report back to both residents and the "town council."

Question? How would this affect us in our indiviual blogs? I look at my blog like my house. Except
for breaking of the obvious no attack rule and other legal no no's, I would not want the "homeowners
association" telling me how "decor" the inside of my house. This may be an invalid question since
there is no "on-topic" in a blog.

I don't see this affecting your blog..blogs have always been the 'property' of the owners....so as long as you keep your trees trimmed and no limbs hang out over the other members blogs you should be fine!!
