So lets be grown up & talk about OBOB, articles, etc.

[Michie]

let me unsubscribe before i get in trouble.

Check your box in a few...

 

[Michie]

I guess I am not very creative. I don't normally think of stuff to talk about unless its an article or a blog entry to kind of get things going. I like to once in awhile start threads with pictures and cartoons and that could be considered spam because I don't comment on the content just laugh along. What are we allowed to post and not allowed without making someone else mad?

*shrug*

 

[Wolseley]

I've taken a month of before Wols. Several times. Same thing. I come back to a loaded PM box. What do you think of 5 main & 5 politics?

Lower?

No, 5 and 5 are good, I think.

 

[cathoaholicliz]

before i leave for good from this thread i just wanna say i think 5 posts per day is a fair number. i dont think it matters the source if it doesn't violate the rules.

 

[Michie]

So 5 in the main & 5 in politics. I'll let others weigh in too.

I don't mind going lower. Less work.

But I see no reason that one person should be regulated to sending out PM's along with everything else involved.

 

[Davidnic]

5 and 5 sounds good. But it is not something that can be reported it is more of an honor system. Apply it to everyone...we don't need to be strict. Just see where it goes.

I don't have a problem with it. It's a relief!

But I'm open to others weighing in still.

 

[Tigg]

Silliness. I don't care who posts how many articles or whatever. The news and articles I get here I get no where else. Put a limit on posts/threads? I hope I misunderstand. I do not go to the politics thread/board or whatever it is called. I guess if this is put into a rule, I will not be here long. But then I am not a mover or shaker so all is well that ends well.

EDIT: And thank you Michie for all the work you do posting here. Much appreciated and thanks to others who post as well

You work too hard, Mich. I realize it's a sort of ministry for you, but you don't want to get totally burned out, the way I did with apologetics back in 2003-04. I still don't think I could go back and do that again---I was pending great four-hour chunks of time at a whack, carefully and painstakingly explaining things to fundamentalist Protestants who didn't give a rip one way or the other.....but, at the same time, others were reading the stuff I wrote, and they were encouraged by it, and some even converted.

It's just a balance you have a achieve, I guess.

But either way, we still love ya.

 

[TheOtherHockeyMom]

It's not that people get mad, at least I don't. But if you post a blog or an article, or write a post that contains misinformation, I would think you would expect it if people would point that out.

It's not posts. Just thread topics from a source. It's not a rule but an honor system. It's just a way to try to make everyone happy. there will still be Catholic edification & news. Just not as much. I just did not want to disappoint anyone that liked them. Plus I like Catholic topics in OBOB. At the time I came here it was slim pickings. So stick around. It will be interesting to see if I get off some folks permanent hate list. I'm afraid it my be a long standing tradition with some though. *Joke folks, lighten up*

Aw thanks Wols. You know I love you. You are the ones that helped me understand the RCC.

 

[Tigg]

Michie, try to make everyone happy? Surely you jest. But if you and the mods and others find a way, let me know. It will be the first in history. Permanent hate list? Now that is sad but one can not please everyone. So OBOB, prove me wrong. As to stick around, maybe, maybe not. <shrug> God bless you no matter what

And they do. And I do expect it. No skin off my nose.

I know I can't make everyone happy but maybe we can come to a happy compromise. I'm just really tired of the bad feelings.

Love ya Tigg. *hug*

I thought being a mom was rough. You are blamed for everything but no thanks unless it is Mother's Day. But being a reporter here on OBOB is much worse apparently. I see no one else doing even half the job you do. At any rate, you have my thanks completely.

Guess I better get off here as I am no help to those who hate. Take care Michie

Tigg, just give it a chance. I don't want to see you go. Have a blessed easter!

Then I don't see a problem going on...if one posts something and is asked to provide proof, sources, evidence, etc...that's not attacking in my opinion.
