what do that sound like? grade school.Is this place for senors and kids.What have we become??? Do u recall the pretty girl in class? Everyone loved her, and wanted to be around her, recall her?? Well if u were not liked by here she could get the girls not to talk to u. U ladies know about that. Guys, u know too. Big man at school, plays sports, have all the girls.Get in places and u go too, but boy if the felt u were not cool, u were out of there big time. Look, all I am saying is we must grow up.The chat room is for all, and not for a few.

The only time I have ever seen someone say the words "don't talk to this person or that" is when someone is trying to convince another person that what they say is true when it is not. Why else would anyone try to stop another person from gaining more information, more insight or another viewpoint?
If what I say aggrevates you, intriques you, or simply sounds like a soap opera..... you have several options... you can believe me or not and let it go, you can call me on it, you can ignore me, or you can research it (talk to others, read about it, whatever suits your fancy)and form your own opinion. I have no power or desire to control anyone or limit their minds.
I am not afraid of other view points,or of widening my view, but I will not stand for anyone trying to narrow my view. I was born to only one set of parents, so unless you carry a badge, pay my wages or are here to collect taxes... please don't try to tell me what to do, I am an adult.
I can appreciate a word of warning, but isn't that caution something we should all be observing anyway? This is the internet and even in person some people do lie, exagerate, etc. I have not come this far in life without learning somethings the hard way, but I have learned.
Thank you Donni for giving me the place and opportunity to speak my mind. I wish more people knew you as I do, but that is their loss.

I want a refund on all the school taxes I have been paying for the past 30 years. I obviously am not getting my money's worth.
If Hillary is the answer then it must have been a very stupid question

WE all have a choice such as choosing our friends that is something that hasn't changed since I was a kid After my trip and meeting so many people I think I choose my friends wisely

just chatting with someone doesn't make you friends..but it does extend a friendly gesture..it sometimes takes time to build a trusting, honest lasting friendship..As far as what I've seen in SFF..one must go to bashes or other SFF events to make true friends..

Amen, Spot .... I just found out the same thing in St Pete!!
As to anyone EVER telling me who to speak to or not to speak to, it's been NADA .... never happened. Had it happened, I would have relied upon my own sense of a person and made my own decisions. I am no one's door mat. This sounds very silly for an adult to impart. It implies the masses are asses. I have never been accused of being stupid .... except, perhaps, by those who appear to be such.
I am NOT in a gossip network. Never have been. I sift and sort what I see in chat and what I observe in behaviors .... how people are accepted or not accepted, due to those observable limitations. I have come to ignore those who persist in ruling the roost. As best I can, I deal in reality .... not the fantasy wherein some seem to dwell. It boggles the mind when one can no longer separate one from the other.
I'm somewhat confused as to just what you wish to say here. There are no good guys .... no bad guys .... except in someone's very vivid imagination. We are different; we make choices; and we live with them. Some choose to dig very deep holes from which they cannot emerge. It was a choice.

I will talk to whomever I choose. I would consider it juvenile advice, if someone were to say such a thing to me. I left grade school a long time ago.
Donni, I put you in iggy a while back. It wasn't because I didn't like your chat persona, or were upset with anything you said. The reason I did it, was that you left our conversation, to argue with 2 other members for accusing you of saying to me, the same kinds of friendly things you said to other ladies.
I asked you to ignore them, or to put them in iggy, in order to keep peace, and to continue our conversation without interruption. You wouldn't. As a result, all three of you went into the iggy room.
No one is required to respond to other chatters' lame-brainededness. You could have controlled the situation, but you chose to join the battle, instead. There wasn't any point, as far as I was concerned. I'm quite capable of telling people off, or telling them their conversation is inappropriate, or ignoring them, or refusing to respond if I don't like the conversation. I didn't need their help that night, and I don't need anyone else's help. I didn't want to be involved in your battle with them, so, I fixed it.
I know it will happen again, so you'll remain in the iggy room with others who choose to join the tacky fights, or who add fuel to the fires that others start.
When I play argumentative word games with others, it's because I know I'm playing a game I choose. Most of the time, I do it for my own entertainment. (Sometimes for the entertainment of other chatters.) It's not because I'm angry, or retaliatory in that sense, but it's a one-ups-man-ship game. When I get bored with it, I log off, or go to another room. I'll put them in iggy, if I stay, and they don't shut up. I say this because I know that some, in chat, have seen me play such games, so I can't plead "innocent"! Sorry, folks!! 
All that silly stuff has gone on since I became a member about 3 years ago. I don't really think it will change. There will always be troublemakers, as well as the hypersensitive ones. After all, chat is a sample of the world in which we live. It's full of fruits,nuts, and flakes. Bless y'all.

Well, I dont let anyone tell me who I can chat with or not chat with. Like someone posted here, I am out of the grade school era and have come to find that there will always be those who try to take over chats, rooms and people's lives. If you cannot control your own destiny, you are in big trouble from the get-go. The more bloggers post blogs about the conflicts in chat, the more conflict there will be with people responding and those who only read the blogs. Why cant everyone stop and let things go? You and everyone else should know by now, conflicts will always be in the rooms on this site and other sites to. It gives people who have no life, to have one even if its only a fantasy life. Like bikenski posted, put those you have trouble with, or those you dont like saying certain things in the "iggy bin" where they belong and forget them. If you want peace, you must begin peace by ignoring those who are causing the problem. Dont bring it to the blogs and go on about it. Post a beautiful blog with feeling and thought instead. Write a poem. Even a poll is better than conflict stories from the chat rooms. Of course this is only my opinion for whatever its worth. And life will still go on.

Msladybug and Ecila,
Donni has the most delightful infectious laugh that I have had the privilige of hearing often and hope to continue to hear for many, many years.
I believe his posts reflect his feeling of what happens in chatroom.
When I see people type lies (yes, people, I can call them lies because I have done my research) about Donni it bothers me. Even though I know these people's opinions don't influence me. They have shown me that they do not think for themselves but merely parrot things they want to be true, I guess its easier to vent your internal rumblings when you can direct it at some villain, even a made up one.
The majority of posts I have read (admittedly not more than 100 or so) are written by people who wish to vent about something that has ruffled their feathers.
See, I'm doing it right now lol and I am, generally, a happy person.
One last thing, not really related to any of these particular posts, but something that I saw placed in chatroom not long ago. Donni has not requested my assistance nor does he need my defence, but again, I am an adult and do choose not only who I talk to but also when and which subject.

Leslie,
Not all matches are made in heaven, not all work. I am certainly pleased that Donni shows more maturity in realizing this than you apparently do.
I'm not sure why you would even bother to read a blog posted by someone who in your opinion is such a terrible person. If our places were reversed, I would have no interest in "keeping tabs on" or hearing what he has to say about anything. But this is a public forum, so its more because of my curiosity, that I mentioned it.
I can't help but think it must irk you terribly to see Donni happy and moving on with his life. I would rather look to the future, as I would think you would, considering your recent announcement in chatroom.
You and I are very different people.
We do have one similarity. I, too, have many comments that I am keeping in reserve. I do not think you would like them voiced publicly. For now, I will I wish you all the best in your upcoming ceremony and life.
I think its time you moved on, girl.

Leslie, even if I didn't know better, look at your previous post, you have no concern for me. It looks more like you are trying to keep a story alive, maybe to preserve your pride? (Shame on you) Whatever it is, don't use care, concern or protection as a guise anymore. Blonde, I am; Stupid, I am not. Go peddle your (cough)concern(cough) elsewhere.

HaHaHAaaaaa !!!!
I never listen to what others say. Just do my own thing. and if someone doesn't like it, tough luck for them 
Chatrooms .... phewwww .... too much gossip going on in there. Never heard anything nice coming from there. Come to my room, it's nice and cosy with soft candle light and Nat King Cole singing in the background

Donnijoe, This would be a good week for you to come back and put a post on Seeing Eye to Eye. Our small discussion group is very close to becoming Number One in most posts written by its membership. And over time, you have been an important contributor to the Group. So, I'd like to see you there as we go over the top. Al
