In Reply to: a forum observation posted by An ex forum participant on July 31, 2000 at 13:09:26:

: I was reading through the posts and I was encouraged to see that "forum etiquette" was addressed (in one way or another) several times recently, along with a few scattered, humble apologies. I stopped posting questions to this forum several months ago solely because of this reason.
: When I stumbled upon the Henna forum I was very excited to find a place that quenched my thirst for knowledge on the henna subject. Although most of you answered my questions in a welcoming, friendly manner, some of you chose to respond with subtle and sometimes blatant sarcasm.
: Yes, feelings DO get hurt, no matter what your age or maturity level...I don't think anyone that posts a question is looking for "a warm and fuzzy" response, but ever heard of common and mutual respect...ya know...treat people the way YOU want to be treated?
: Unfortunatly I have witnessed (and received) posts greeted with sarcasm, humiliation, and down right meaness. There is no excuse for that. I am an intelligent, educated person...an adult that successfully contributes to society and I don't deserve to be made fun of...nobody likes to look like the class idiot. "We" come to this forum for guidance, and informative, RESPECTFUL conversation. Yeah, I am interested in your knowlege and I'm very gracious with your willingness to share this henna wisdom, but at what expense? I'm not interested in being a catapult to boost your ego...so like my daddy used to say...."if you don't have anything nice to say...don't say anything at all" this from a VERY WISE man.
: I was really hoping my experience in here would be a positive one and it would have been nice to make a few friends. I do wish to say thank you to those who DID greet me with a smile, this post wasn't intended for you and my apologies if it offended anyone. It's merely an observation from an "outsider" who's feelings WERE hurt.
