Ok, it is 4:03 am and I haven't been to bed yet. I hope it is safe now.
I have been staying up to make sure that the post about helping a fellow caker didn't get lost in all of the misunderstandings and comments. No I am not a moderator, I am just a guest here, as we all are. But it would be really nice if the purpose to which that post was intended, was addressed and not just lost in the shuffle. Looks ok now. Really sad to see that those comments couldn't have been made somewhere else like under General Discussion, instead of in the Event section so that the effort wasn't so polluted.
I do not understand why folks go on these sites to be negative or insulting or rude or to take offense at nothing, but they do.
The people on this site are trying their darndest to keep it nice, that is the members' job, not the moderators' although ultimately they get stuck with the mess and the owner or the moderators usually are the ones that take the flack. Sometimes it is the members that deal with it too, that is true.
But for heavens sakes, don't take it upon yourself to start something like that in a post that had nothing to do with being derrogatory and everything to do with helping someone out.
There are more than enough sites out there that tolerate such behaviour, I hope that folks will seek those sites out if they want to behave in that manner.
I would think that the vast majority here, don't want to deal with any of this petty nonsense.
And if they do, well then they get the site that they deserve.
Just my opinion and now I am going to bed. I have to be up in a couple of hours to do a cake, as in, that which brought us to this site in the first place.
Hugs Squirrelly
