Post by: Patton on May 14, 2004, 01:58:45 PM
I hope you People are happy. because you have made Sarah leave. What are you peoples problem. Yes I'm talking about you Harlena. What have you done to make her leave. I know that I was part of the prob, but I was fixing it. This really p*sses me off that it has gotten so bead that someone has to leave.

Nice to see you're not getting involved Patton! We're ALL trying to get along here now, so it's probably a good idea not to stir things up again.

Seems Sarah decided to take a break.  So she is.  We all need to step away from time to time.

Your post really doesn't help, Pat.

I sorry but I'm reallt POed. She told me she was leaving. And I'm guessing she has left or is ignoring my Pm's cause she hasn't awnsered. I tried to get her to stay but she hasn't sayed anything. And then there is Ed wanting to leave. I don't know what's happening but this place is falling apart. And the bad part is it's mostly my fault.

Then why blame Helena?

Sarah will be back.

I'm unaware of what's going on around here. Can somebody explain it to me, or is it better to not get involved?

btw, I need to get some sleep

A big mess.  Basically what happened was Ssarah and I got into a little bout over some posts.  Unfortunately, it escalated into unnecessary bitterness and resulted in Ssarah's going MIA.  I didn't tell her to leave, it was her decision.

I tried to make amends, but Ssarah was unwilling to make peace. :(

I think it's more like a temporary hiatus...she'll be back after she's had some time to cool down.

The basic problem (as I see it) is this:

Some people see this board as a slow-motion chat site. They have little or no interest in the Beatles at all. And like all chat sites, it got very "clique-y" very fast. And we know the result.

However: strong disagreements about a common interest are great to be involved in. I've had a couple of disagreements with people arising out of BEATLES stuff. Strong words are spoken, firm opinions are expressed. But all becomes calm, because of our common interest -- and we move to the next issue. We don't know each other personally, but we know that we all love the Beatles; that's the point. The "chatters" haven't got a clue about this side of the forum.

But slow-motion chatting is (usually) so much fun!

Yeah, it can be. 

But unfortunately some people don't know when to NOT post: basically when they have nothing at all to say and yet spread it over dozens of posts/threads.

It doesn't have to be -all- strict Beatle talk, but some of it borders on pure drivel.  And a lot of it!

Except MY posts, of course!  ;-)

Give her time.  Don't force it, she'll come back on her own.

Come back, Sarah, when you're ready.  You're missed!
Title: Re: Happy
Post by: The End on May 16, 2004, 12:01:46 PM
There are two halves to the forum - a half where people enjoy a bit of banter and slow-motion conversation and a half where more serious Beatle-related conversations take place. I think we all know where to find our own particular brand of conversation. I agree it is annoying when "serious" conversations are interupted by people with nothing much to say though.
I enjoy both halves of the forum, some don't, and that's OK as long as we ALL respect one another's points of view.

We are all very different but share a common passion... The Beatles

I would love Sarah to come back too, but it's entirely her decision. In the meantime it's wrong to point a finger of blame at anyone. Love is all you need.
