Bickering in this group
lisa matthews
posting at all, I feel that someone should say something to EVERYONE.
1. A newsgroup is a meeting place for people that have similar interests to
get together and TALK about those interests and ANYTHING ELSE that they feel
like talking about.
2. If you don't like someone or don't like their posts, then filter out
their posts or just ignore them.
3. If OT's bother you, again, filter or don't read. No one is twisting your
arm.
4. People who have problems, any problems like to talk to other people about
them. It's natural to talk about something that bothers you. It is a way
of coping and learning from others who may share the same experiences.
It is not a bad thing. Again, if you don't want to share in these
conversations/posts...don't read them.
There is no reason for all of the sniping and meanness that goes on around
here. All it does is make people afraid to post ANYTHING at all. There are
so many sweet, helpful people out there that would probably love to take a
more active role in this group that stay silent because all of ugliness.

Not true. Our charter is set up to discuss needlework. If you want to
discuss child rearing, you find a newsgroup that focuses on child
rearing.
That being said - we at RCTN, as a *general* concensus over time,
graciously allow off-topic posts - providing they stay civil. They're
easy enough to skip. I often contribute to off-topic discussions. But
I don't mind being reminded that things have gone too far. These are
"reminders", generally. We all need them. Even as mature adults, we
sometimes forget ourselves. Gentle reminders help us stay on track; we
refocus our mission.

There are many reasons people don't post. Keeping things ON TOPIC helps
to include more lurkers in the long run.
What are you working on?

again that chastising the "offenders" accomplishes nothing but starting another
fight. Your timing is poor, too. Things have died down after the spats last
week and the week before. This NG goes through these on a regular basis. If
you see one starting, ignore it, don't post to it and feed the fire. If they
bother or upset you, don't read them.
As for defending anyone who seems to be on the receiving end of bullying and
abuse--the people involved tend to be our hardier members who are completely
capable of defending themselves. They even have the wisdom to drop the subject,
but unfortunately other chime and and can't stop.
Let's just move on.

I do. However, you didn't mark this thread OT, so it didn't get
filtered. If you're going to chastise people, at least follow the rules
yourself.

Oh, I just meant you said "I have on desire to flame you," instead of
"I have no desire to flame you." I'm sure any Freud-worshipper worth
his salt would jump to tell you that what you meant was that you *did*
want to flame her - "one desire" or "an desire."

Do all of you like to sit around and chit chat with friends while stitching --
even if you are the only stitcher in the group? Do you think stitching while
talking makes you seem uninterested?

needlework. But it is also about so much more. This group is now a community.
There are people here from around the world who feel they have made friends
here. In many of the cases, this forum is the only contact they have with
people who they feel closer to. I know people here that talk on this group as
casually as chatting with a friend over a cup of tea. I think that is a
wonderful thing and proves this newsgroup has grown beyond the cold impersonal
postings that earmark so many other newsgroup. Everyone here is great about
putting what they are talking about in the subject line. I waste mere seconds
avoiding the conversations that have no value to me.
Everyone! Those who want to be chatty, be chatty. Others who aren't, just don't
read the posting. Enough said.

friends don't like it when I do that. They can't understand that it's
possible for me to listen and talk at the same time. However, there
have been times when I've mis-counted because I was talking/listening
too much and while I'm correcting the mistake, I'm not able to pay
much attention. So, in general, stitching and truly having a
heart-to-heart is difficult for me. My stitching friends and I like
to stitch, watch TV together, and make comments occasionally. Just
stitching together in the same room is enjoyable. :)

There are some typos I'm pretty consistent on [but I'm a bit picky
about what I let go out, so I can touch-type backspace as well as I
can any letter key (sheesh, nearly typed backstitch for backspace
(giggle))]. The really weird part is that when I'm writing something
by hand and hit a word I tend to mistype.
I will, with a pen, duplicate my usual typo and have to correct it.

My friends tend to understand that I want something to do with my
hands while chatting. I don't usually do anything that requires
serious concentration while talking, and most of the people who know
me know that I multi-task just fine. In fact, in some cases, I can
keep better track of the conversation [while crocheting or whatever]
than other parties who aren't multi-tasking do. :-)

Now, this has got me wondering how many do as I do: 'punish' themselves
for making a typo!
I learnt to type via Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing (couldn't recommend it
highly enough!) and I went from being a fairly efficient three-finger
typist to being a wobblingly efficient touch typist. The *freedom* of
being able to type without looking changed my life!
The only thing is, I have this awful internal rule: 'you make a silly
typo, you backspace and correct it, even if it's a sentence back'! How
silly is that? Is my Asperger's showing?
Originally, the idea was to blot out all typos by aversion therapy. It
didn't work. I still do the typos and I still backspace stupidly to
punish myself for making them! Aaaarrrrggghhh!
Anyway, my most frequent typo is 'teh' for 'the'.

I seem to always type "amyway" instead of "anyway", for obvious
reasons. Also always have problems with world - it wants to be work
every time.
And don't think it's the Asperger's coming out - I definitely don't
have it, but the print on the backspace key on my computer is worn
off. :-)

Don't know, since I don't know much about Asperger's. :-)
I do that, too. Spot a typo, *must* go back and fix it [I don't always
backspace that far, might just click to the spot and fix it]. I just
hate to have something go out with a misspelling or typo that makes me
look of questionable literacy [I can make myself look stupid enough
without such glaring errors ;-)].

chatting. My friends and family don't seem to mind (though I've never
asked) and I think I hold up my end of the conversation well enough. I
think the part that might bother some people is the lack of eye contact you
would normally have.

Good points. I've found this so much nicer to read once I filtered out OT and
some of the stitchers whose energy didn't mesh with mine. I'm not saying they
didn't have good things to say, they just said it in a way I personally didn't
want to hear it.

LOL !
I had the most boring night class last year - the professor wrote everything
on the board Incredible Slowly - and I'm a fast writer. And to make matters
worse he even repeated everything he wrote about 4 times ! Needless to say
I spent oodles of time playing tic-tac-toe with myself in the margins. I
often thought it would be wonderful to take my stitching so that I could get
something accomplished - and stay awake until 11 p.m. for my 4.5 hour
classes. But since the class only had 4 of us in it, I figured it would be
a bit too obvious :)

K Polikoff
brought my own stitching over and sat in her chair - I can't really remember
WHY she wasn't stitching at the moment. I hope that it doesn't appear that
I am not interested when I stitch. The exact opposite is true. I do
partake of the conversation, but when I am counting or something I do miss
parts of the conversation AND I usually stop stitching when I talk and start
again when I am finished.
I did have someone comment at me stitching during a regular meeting I
attend. I was shocked that someone would mention it. I thought about it
and still can't find out what is wrong. It is not a meeting where I am
expected to speak or take notes. It is a meeting where I find that if I am
stitching I am much less fidgetty and can make the whole meeting without
talking to the person next to me (interrupting THEIR listening). But, now
that I think about what Watabod wrote, perhaps he took it as disinterested.
Of course, I am seldom interested in what this man has to say (as it doesn't
match my values or goals, etc of the purpose of the meeting), so it is
irrelavant to me. It is more a matter of 'take what you need and leave the
rest'. If you say something that 'I need' then I will hear it better if I
am less occupied about what she is saying to the person next to her, what he
is wearing, how hot the room is, how bad the coffee is, etc. Just me, my
stitching and the speaker and the message will be heard.
That's my .02 worth.

if a bunch of us are talking while waiting for our kids (soccer practice,
art classes,etc) or something like that, I'll bring out my stitching. But,
if it's truly a "visit" with someone - never.
On the other hand, stitching/sewing friends visit with a two fold purpose:
work AND talk, so no problem there! And those are great visits!

her here and having to live with putting her in daycare for the whole

The terminal I work on at work doesn't have a real word processor inside.
Backspacing doesn't work, neither does inserting, you have to go and type
over everything from the point you made the mistake. Drives me crazy. I'm
hoping when they set us up with PCs instead of dummy terminals they might be

I had the same problem. I was an only child, and my mother reports
that I was appalled by my classmates on the first day of kindergarten.

I wasn't an only child, but I was the only girl and youngest of 5 children. My brothers are

stitch corner and TW's board to have an excellent quality of advice
and I think a great quality of support - and no ugliness.
The moderators don't allow it.
So what you have is either anarchy, and some folks like that, and I've
read RCTN off and on for years, and have seen some interesting flame
wars.
Or control - like the moderated boards I've mentioned - I think the
moderator question has come up on RCTN various times and has bene
abandoned by those who want freedom.
I surf several boards and enjoy all of them for what they are. But if
people are unhappy or hesitant to post here, there are other places to
go.
Just my two cents worth (and see I've broken my rule about posting on
off-topic posts, darn!).
