Please mind your manners

[jeff of pa]

I'll have a Mc Moderator I held a door open for a lady to enter a store before me....she started telling me what a POS I was....I graciously replied ***k you ***t pushed in front of her and closed the door behind me. Ive been holding doors open for people for 40 years and most women - and gents - appreciate this little gesture...thus I feel my response was justified.

Sometimes the dents run thread(S) elicit some warm responses....but as it was clearly revealed in the last one of these that the OP did admit to deliberatly misleading members here....so perhaps not justifying nasty responses but certainly justifying scepticism amongst us here.

I will sometimes Stand at the Door for up to 20 seconds if I see someone on their Way, Men, Women, Or Children.
longer if they are pushing a stroller or walker.
I don't Ever remember anyone giving me a Rude response. Though some may not have thanked me.
I normally don't look for a thanks, Though if it's a good lookin' young Lady I must admit I do look for the Smile & Thanks,
Just for my Ego but it leaves my mind immediately after

I Do remember letting the door slam in people Faces Too. Not being purposely rude, Just being Thoughtless on Occasion.

as for the second part of your message,, All I can say is Get Over it ! I have. He explained it was a Poor choice of Words
for numbers and how many cameras and pictures, etc he said here, because some info is still private. and this isn't a court room ,
and nobody was Expecting "The Spanish Inquisition"




no harm no fowl from him, so as I said accusations will be dealt with. severely if necessary

Apologies. Was just explaining to the OP as to how sometimes responses appear hostile. For the most part here I find incredible levels of help and respect - especially to newcomers. Red Coat -(as an example) in my humble opinion often replies with some of the most comprehensive and mind blowing details of finds .

seems to me you don't like much of anything anyone has to say. Getting likes aren't important to me, but many members do wish to be acknowledged
for their time and effort in helping others. and to have others share in the joy of a nice relic or coin recovery.
Not that it matters but are you even a treasure hunter? The reason I ask is I've never seen you post on the topic. your art post went well , all the drama post not so well.

Bingo... Yep... its a 2 way street here.

Cant expect something from nothing.... and you only get what you give.

People give YOU likes to say "hey i like what you are saying"... "cool"... "agree"... etc etc etc.

When you don't reciprocate it sends the REVERSE msg back to the person who acknowledges you.

Now perhaps you are a "newbie" to the whole online thing and if so... well then so be it... now ya know.

IT is not only rude to not acknowledge someone who is speaking to you in everyday life... as well as here.

When someone says "hey i like that"... for you to not say "thanks".

And when on here... at the very least... like it back.

Its called... "internet etiquette" / "online etiquette".

I as well as other are not here to e belittled, picked at, toyed with or have their thread topics hijacked. I am embarrassed for new comers also experiencing this as of late.

Meh. Your post sounds like a rant. People here are great. Typically I find that the rudeness comes from posters who don't want to hear that their "artifact" or "meteorite" is really just a rock, or their "platinum nugget" is melted beer cans. That's my 2 cents. Your mileage may vary.

 

[Doubter in MD]

All this talk about "likes" made me check mine. I'm not purposely stingy about giving out "likes" but I often forget to do it. I've gotten better about it over the years.

Now that you mention it... it sorta looked like "Peyton Manning".

Not sure if it was the feminine wording... or... ?

OP is a good reason to implement a thumbs down option on the forum

A dislike button would be VERY cool here.

 

[Escape]

Here is a nice big like for anyone in need of a like fix.
"LIKE"

No it wouldn't, it would just create hard feelings and problems as members are offended.

Yes... agreed.

I,ve never had anyone here be anything but nice,I,m a newbie to this and have yet to save up my money for a detector,but I,m working on it and in the meantime I read all that I can about the hobby as well as offer any help that I can.For instance I am pretty good at recognizing cartridge cases,so offer advice if I can.Also add a little humor,which I feel is often needed these days.I feel that what I,ve learned so far on here is equal to many hours of blind hog detecting.Thanks to all the folks who have offered advice and help,I appreciate it!Don,t forget that much of what is said on the net comes across without context or inflection and can easily be misread so think before you leap.

What detector, what type of hunting and and what price range are you interested in?

well, since my suggestion was unceremoniously deleted, am guessing admin is leaning towards no

It has been suggested multiple times over last 13 years that I know of and still a no go. All it would do is create problems and hard feelings between some members.

Right now I,m leaning toward the AT Pro,My most available places to hunt are tot lots,athletic fields,old and newer ones and under bleachers.I,ve IDed some old home places,tenant houses on farms.The houses are no longer there but show up on older maps.Tons of farm fields.None of these are especially old,1940 and later,so i,m looking for lost jewelry,coins and such you,d find in these places.Who knows where this journey may take me but that,s my starting place.I,m looking at the 500.00 to 600.00 dollar range as that,s what the AT Pro seems to be going for along with a good pin pointer.I,m pretty much set on new purchase,and I learned a long time ago to wait until I have the money to get what I want rather than settle for something else.Any and all advice will be appreciated and considered.Thank you for your interest.Damn fine site!

She did not tell anyone what to do, just recounted her experience.

"Please mind your manners" was the subject of her post. That's telling everyone what to do, arbitrarily, regardless of who they are or how they post.

Sorry but that's scolding.

If you want to call someone out for bad manners/post hijacking/etc? Go for it. But to blanket finger-wag the entire forum is plain stupid.

You don't have to intentionally give offense for someone to take offense.

If someone posts a lump of coal and asks "is this a meteorite?"

They may take offense when you respond "No. It is a lump of coal."

That is not the fault of the answer. It is the fault of fallen expectations.
