I get pms almost everytime I post saying my posts are random or irrelavent

 

i've posted things like this

 

don't confuse the map with the real thing, in a way maps are only distraction

don't confuse the menu with the food

its important to stay grounded in reality

theres really nothing to ascend to, and nowhere to fall when you see that then you really know something

 

i've posted in my own language, and told what it is, but then my response was deleted and someone identified the language simply as Celtic and not what I had told them

 

I've posted a lot of information on my philosophy and  its been called rambling, where are people like Faecat have posted 'I'm extremely upset' and rambled for a long time about an extremely personal issue, that few can relate to

where as all my posts are my general and either relate to the main topic of the post, or to a larger idea of some things which haven't been discussed on the site yet

 

i feel like if you want to bring more authentic fairies to the site, you need to be less repressive, don't just call people 'wierd' and assume no one will understand, just because maybe you dont, the way the site is running now, you are only going to attract a certain kind of person, and this doesn't represent all fairies, not in the least, if you only want those kinds of people, then i'm sorry, there was a misundestanding, thought this site was open to all fairies, all fairy culture, an it harm none, I think maybe a few moderators may be picking on me. Or maybe its just a test, we have to be tolerant, stop luring folks in, etc, just let them come freely, just as the rest of life comes.

I assume you're talking about me because I sent you a PM about your posts. I apologize if I made you feel unwelcome in any way, that was not my intention. I personally enjoy reading your posts as they are often interesting, it was just the majority of the members I was concerned about. I am not picking on you at all, please don't feel that way. But I have to do my job as a moderator and watch out for certain posts – especially if they sound like irrelevant rants. Which is fine every now and then, don't get me wrong, but when there is too many of them we have no choice but to remove some of those. Let's face it, you do tend to ramble. You do tend to trail off and start talking about random things that make absolutely no sense what so ever. Some of them do make sense, but some do not. I can tell you though I didn't delete any of your posts so far. I wasn't aware that the one about the language thing was removed, I was actually looking for your response but saw that it wasn't there so I assumed you probably deleted it or just decided not to respond. Like I said, I enjoy your posts. I'm not trying to pick on you or single you out and I am sorry if that's how it sounded in my PM.

First, I just want to say that I think you owe an apology to Natalie and Mr. E, not to mention the mods, who have put so much time and effort into this site. Calling it and the members in it 'repressive' is extremely rude and, as part of the community, I find myself feeling rather offended. Everyone here does their best and if you find this community is not right for you, then I believe you might have to find another one.

As for your concern, I think the problem is that you've thrown too many things at us too fast and too strong. You need to ease us into your thinking and philosophies, explain things a little more clearly instead of assuming that we'll understand right away when your posts are almost poetic and rather hard to figure out or 'translate' into a more straightforward language. Just explain yourself a little more, that's all.

@azure I don't think her intention was to insult anyone. She was just expressing her opinion because she felt like she was being picked on, which is understandable. I see where she is coming from and I already apologized for anything I might have said to make her feel that way. I do agree with you on the easing us into her philosophies though.

My apologies, I didn't know you two had worked out your differences. I suppose I just got upset when she mentioned the running of the site. But I know now that wasn't her intention and themiddlewoodsyone, I'm sorry for jumping on you like that. I just love this community and hate to see turmoil. 

I suppose I'm a little too 'Mother Hen' like =)

Let's be honest and tell the whole story here. Remember when you were posting under "Hineraukaturi?" Remember when you posted that Mr E was fake? That type of thing tends to get you scrutinized to say the least. My suggestion would be to try and follow our guidelines which I have repeated to you many times or you can always find another forum to share your wisdom with. I'm sorry if you think I am repressing you but you have kind of used up most of my good will with your antics. 

In the future, please pm me if you have a problem instead of bringing private issues to the public forum.

I agree with Natalie. If you have often tryed to show your beliefes in a negative way and Nat needs to constantly remind you then you need to take into consideration of what your doing.

But people also need to respect your way of thinking.

There were faults on both sides. So now we need to let it go. Natalie is the one in control and we need to let her deal with it.

Just let go of everything.
