Orchid, thank you for starting this thread. It chaps me when people come in here only to sell, sell, sell. They could give a rip who we are, what we are about, or anything else. Yet they think we will be bowled over by their ad? I think not. I find it insulting. Maybe that's too strong a statement to make, but it is how a new post like that makes me feel. Forgive me Dotsie if I'm saying too much here. They don't call me the Mouth of the South for nutin.

That's why I keep bringing up the "Please read before you post" thing.

Another one that gripes me are people who only stop by under the pretext of some "happening" in their life but it is really obvious that they only want to capture us for a teleseminar, a book they've written, or post about some drama IN THEIR LIVES...or to sell, as you said. These are BWS members too! They don't care about us, or the day to day...they're only concerned about themselves.

I call them TRUE COLORS members. They have shown their true colors to me. It's all about them.

There again, we are suppose to run pat them on the back and once we do, poof! They're gone again for a few months.

I realize that tons of people don't have the time to come in here all the time. That is so understandable. REALLY. But...couldn't they stick around long enough to comment in one or two more threads, instead of just posting about their own life, lack thereof, or whatever?

Whew! I feel better...anybody else? LOL!


ps---I am in NO WAY referring to Sandpiper...she knows that, but I wanted to make sure you gals knew it too. Actually, I'm not pointing a finger at anyone, necessarily. Just past experience on here. Please keep Sandpiper and family in your prayers!
