"please stop posting such ridiculous, total waste of time, boring, vapid and internet slowing topics like your glasses being broken?.."

Such a lovely message from someone trying to help me.
Also goes on to say I do this for attention.
Hmm maybe
But got me thinking,
My lovely community,
Should I stop posting as frequently as I do?

    @Jova114 I love your posts! :)

  • Jova114Jova114

    Well thank you @CuddleHugs01234
    I honestly just try to balance out the sensitive, triggering topics with lighthearted positive ones.

  • BearBear

    That would inspire to post more.

    Wraps my arms around you and squeezes tight.

  • Jova114Jova114

    @Bear
    That's the feeling I have now but maybe he makes a point.
    I only want to add to the community, not water it down.

    ((((((((((Huge hug)))))))))

    I enjoy your posts! Keep them coming.
    I’d rather see posts here about feelings, thoughts, fun, etc. than seeing posts involving subjects that would fit better on a subreddit from hell.

    I sometimes wonder if some of the trolls I see here have been banned from reddit but still want to be trolls somewhere. The sh!t birds have to go somewhere when they’ve been banned. Sorry they’ve found their way into your messages.

  • Jova114Jova114

    Thank you @Syins
    That's what I try to bring to the table!
    Sometimes I have thought provoking posts, others silly and fun so commenter can take it in any direction they please (as long as it's positive)

    I would of taken the message better if he didn't contradict himself by saying "not to be rude" then proceeded to be rude...then block me so I couldn't talk to him like an adult.

  • BearBear

    By reading your post, I’ve met some interesting people and got an insight into their personalities. So your posts
    help

  • Jova114Jova114

    I'm so happy to hear that @Bear !!
    I too feel like I've gotten a better understanding of some of the people in this community

  • Mike403Mike403

    Somebody sent me a very similar message and accused me of making a post that I didn't even start because I was the most recent commenter.

    @Jova114

    The less attention you pay to people that want to "change" you, especially "for your own good", and certainly from internet strangers... the less attention you pay to those people, the better!

    My two mantras about that...

    1: Life is short. You do you, Boo!

    2: You stop caring about what others think of you the moment you truly understand how often they don't.

  • BearBear

    @Jova114 in good and bad ways it seems.

    Plus your and @Mike403 posts get people talking. Ignore the trolls. Or report them.

  • Jova114Jova114

    @Mike403
    Wow! People just coming out the woodworks.

    @CharlesInWI
    You are correct! I shouldn't care what others think, but I do want to be of value in this community and not an annoyance

  • PixiePassionsPixiePassions

    Hugs to you. I love your spirit. If people don't like a post, they can skip over it. Some people are too easily bothered. Maybe they should try some meditation 🧘‍♀️ or something. 😇

  • Jova114Jova114

    Hugs back!! @PixiePassions
    I appreciate the love!! More than I can ever show.

    That's what I was thinking, don't like it just move on.
    But according to the poll it's almost an even split

  • PixiePassionsPixiePassions

    You're very welcome 💕

    Just be you, as others have said. I have yet to see you post anything overly obnoxious or pointless. It's all in the name of fun. This is how the internet works. 🙃 Connection with others is channeled in many different ways. Sometimes it's posting absolute silliness OR thought-provoking content on an internet forum.

  • TxTomTxTom

    @Jova114
    Double down on the posts.

    And add more photos, graphics, videos. You're obligated to get that internet speed down to a snail's pace now.

  • SunsetSnugglesSunsetSnuggles

    @Jova114 Report that person for making personal attacks. The mods will take care of it. If the mods had an issue with your threads, they would tell you to cool it, or make you stop. They've done it before to others. Unless or until that happens, you are free to post whatever you like, regardless of what we think of it.

    @PixiePassions I appreciate your kind words.

    @TxTom
    Lol the speed of the internet is in my hands!!
    What power!!

  • Jova114Jova114

    Thank you @SunsetSnuggles
    :)
    I thought a Mod would step in if I was being annoying or something.

  • PixiePassionsPixiePassions

    @TxTom always has the best answers 🤣

  • TheDave90TheDave90

    I've got nothing really to add to this...but IMO keep doing what you're doing :)

  • Jova114Jova114

    @DaveTheBrit
    That's adding more than enough!
    Thank you mate
    😁

  • SunsetSnugglesSunsetSnuggles

    It's a coward's way out to bully someone in private, instead of reporting a thread if they thought it had no place, here. But false reports would lead to negative backfire, hence...this cowardly bullying. They probably figured you would crumble and slink into the background. Good on you for taking this head on like a man. 😊

  • Jova114Jova114

    @SunsetSnuggles
    Thank you so much.
    I've dealt with my fair share of bullies throughout my life.
    I've learned the more they talk about me, the more it says about them.

    To anyone who voted that I should stop,
    I'm sorry you feel that way.
    But until a Mod tells me I am doing something wrong I will continue to post both thought provoking and silly things
    😁

  • ric85ric85

    the best thing to do is be you unless you're a ****, if you're a nice person just remember, the more haters you have the better you're doing in life because every hater is most often jealous of your success or just you

  • Jova114Jova114

    Thank you @ric85
    I would like to think I'm a nice person
    😇

    If I truly am slowing down the entire internet then maybe not
    🤣🤣🤣

  • Mike403Mike403

    Whoever that person is, be a man instead of a coward and comment in this thread.

  • Jova114Jova114

    @Mike403
    He won't.
    To quote his message
    "I don’t want to embarrass you in the community"

    Which I am not. I am open to constructive criticism (which this was not)
    And I was willing to talk about it like adults but was blocked before I could

  • Mike403Mike403

    @Jova114 - He'd only be embarrassing himself.

  • Jova114Jova114

    Amen to that @Mike403
