Bitter and PO'ed

[Dyan]

Laurie, I wish that I had some words of wisdom to share......... [img]frown.gif[/img]

My recent horoscope seema applicable here too... you can make peace between warring sides, but the personal cost to you will be high. Perhaps walking away from a fight that isn't yours is the wisest thing. ..... um, *I say this quietly and not to offend* perhaps making non-members feel appreciated and worth isn't your job. It seems to me that it's up to the f/c to reach out, while your job is to moderate a bbs that isn't part of the fan club.

And I DO NOT say that harshly only as a former moderator who tried to take on too much and ended up doing badly at everything.

[img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img] It's a shame everytime I feel like responding to a thread about the chat or any other fan club issues, I wonder who I'm going to alienate this time [img]frown.gif[/img]

I don't honestly see it as my job Dyan. It is just something that I really want to do for myself. It really is.

I'm just having a bad moment. Bad, Sad and Mad moment. lol

I can understand that. [img]frown.gif[/img] I just saying that it'll drive you batty if you let it.

*hugs Laurie*

I don't know how you do what you do over there. I haven't the patience and tolerance you seem to have. If this is starting to take its toll on you maybe you should consider backing away a little bit and putting some distance in. The bbs should be a fun and happy place for you. If it's bringing you down, maybe you should decrease your level of involvement.

I hate seeing you upset about this. If there's anything I can do let me know.

Hugs -- Chai

Chai, I don't thinkl it's the BBS that's stressing out Laurie, I think it's (some of) the f/c members.

Nothing specific really, it just feels like I'm being pulled in to different directions. If I agree with the fc on something it almost as if I'm betraying the rest of the fan base. Or if I agree something on the sony board it feels like I'm kinda betraying them. So most of them time when issues come up I don't say anything. (*maybe betraying is to strong a word*) [img]confused.gif[/img]

[Twizzle]

Oni, just be true to yourself. That way, you can never be thought of as betraying anyone! [img]smile.gif[/img]
