You know, these little snits keep on coming up. We should start durbsing them.
Yes, there comes a point where you realize that HOP is not a perfect world, and it's normal to feel a bit jaded about it. It's apparently a common phenomenon, probably because HOP is as amazing as it is and you tend to fall head-over-heels in love with it at first sight...and then the honeymoon ends.
HOP, like everything else in the world, has its imperfections. It's a community of individuals and individuals have different personalities and sometimes conflict erupts. And when conflict erupts loyalties form along seemingly idiotic lines.
And yet in my travels of boards I have never seen a community like this one. There's more love, caring, and community here than I've ever seen anywhere else.
Accept this place for what it is. Not what you wish it was.

I don't like this sentiment that if it has been said by someone else (even if it is in a different way) then we shouldn't be saying it again...everyone words things differently and what one person says one way may not be as understood as the same thing said a different way by another person.
I think everyone should be entitled to post in the relavant threads whatever they feel they have to say (of course without abusing or being nasty to anyone or breaking the rules).

I want to throw another idea into the mix and expand on what Dentrassi just said.
What is the difference in a post from somebody you have met and somebody you haven't met??
Written by: Gayle
I came across a lot of "scary" posts which were quite intimidating. I didn't understand people's scarcasm and humour. However, this all changed once i started to meet these "scary" people at gatherings. Suddenly i could see that there wasn't any malice intended it's just them being honest and posted like they are in real life, humour and sarcasm included.
I would recommend to anyone, if they are experiencing "bad feeling" to go to a large meet and start meeting the people who have made them feel a bit victimized and i reckon 8 out of 10 people will show the person that they don't mean any malice it's just their sarcasm and humour coming out.

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I think FireNice has hit the nail on the head (although maybe not in the way she intended) in this whole discussion.

Thats the second time you've basicly said that, if your determind to bring up this point please give us all some examples, if you can that is .
The last time you brought this up was in the madonna thread, you claimed that it was a fact that allmost every post ive ever posted has gotten deleted, I told you ive had two posts deleted so far (one of which Ide asked to be deleted) you never did reply then did you I guess you couldnt back up your argument, then another member told me
'if your going to state facts you've had three deleted actually '
Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.

Water can flow, or it can Crash.

Oh also please dont think people always seem to be picking on you on this site about most of the threads you start because I know it seems that way because almost every thread you start gets deleted, its nothing to do with you, its just often the threads you start seem to either have no point and/or could be seen as offensive, a little thought next time ey

now the only thing i hate worse than either snobbery or asskissing tho is meta-posting. WTF is this thread supposed to accomplish, and how? Brit_Joe, why don't you spend less time making threads that annoy people (as popular opinion seems to dictate you do) and more time policing the individual posts that annoy you to fill them with more useful information and provide an EXAMPLE of how you think things should be done. i'd love to see that from anyone, and so would even those that disagree with you, i'd wager.
