WorshipherMember
Thanx to hatedjealousy of Texas. They say everything is bigger out there but at least the size of my intro has impressed you!
Seriously, I know it’s going on abit now but I wanted to say hello back to you and hello again rapidkitten who I think I’m gonna like alot.
Thanx for the advice about the princely one but it doesn’t matter how many peolpe tell me I should have posted those 3 or 4 separate and long responses in one chunk it just isn’t happening dude!
:crying: ๐
I was wondering why I went to bed last night with nearly 30 posts and woke up this morning with less than 25, seems the editing of the long post that I chopped up as I saw fit was taken out of my hands overnight.
Thankyou for that bit of moderator muscle flexing.
I’m sure that you will realise how impressed I am!
Want to get rid of new members and ignoring their posts hasn’t worked? Try simply overriding how they would prefer to set out their posts, that’ll get rid of the bloody nuisances!
Nice.
WorshipherMemberComing back to this and taking the time to reread slowly all of the posts I realise that every query I have had about this site has already been addressed in one form or another by tea Granny [who my respect for grows everytime log on to this site] and the redoubtable Jeff.
Seems I posted in haste.
Sorry!
:crying:
WorshipherMemberExcellent Oh Princely One,
Seems I have misjudged you. This made me laugh out loud, [and that doesn’t happen often on computer!] and was genuinely entertaining.
I can see you are quite a character underneath that stern exterior!
No, only joking. I don’t know you yet…:D
:new:
WorshipherMember“What’s your name?”
works every time…

WorshipherMemberSounds great in Antigua, lovechild. Do you not have any rain at all then or is it so infrequent as to be not worth mentioning?
WorshipherMemberI add my good wishes to those of Sarah.
You shouldn’t need as much encouragement as some of the :new: members [like me] but I add my voice to those welcoming you back anyway!
๐
WorshipherMemberThanx for your post Sarah, I was looking forward to hearing from you…:D
T’was great in Portmeirion, so chilled but atmospheric..!
And thanx to Spike for popping by to say hello
but as for that Worship loving Prince person well where can I start!!!:woot:
No, actually you are quite right to pull me up about my offhand description of you. You are quite right and it was a liberty. I owe you a beer or something…and you have proved in the post that I am replying to that you do indeed have a human touch.
Still think long, long posts are tiresome and tend not to be read beyond first couple of paragraphs [from my own experience] but that’s no reason to make assumptions about the character of somebody that I don’t know.
Glad to hear you have no thoughts of banning me but I warn you now, you will be sorry, you had your chance!!!

WorshipherMemberThis thread has been a revelation to me!
Tea Granny [who I first encountered as not a fellow newbie – as she comes across as on this thread – but as “member of the month”] mentions alot of the points that I have had difficulty with when first trying to find my way about the site.
I realise that now I have been antogonistic to some of you who are perhaps dealing with problems that you know about but hav’n’t had time to get to grips with.
To comment on a few specific issues [at risk of long post] I think it is a great idea that certain priviledges [by which I mean ink colours if I have read the relevant post right] are withheld from the invariable newbies [like me] who don’t realise that a post can be readable without it appearing garish. {Thanx Awesome S}.
Great idea!
As to Jeff’s idea of about moving a post to the correct forum without going into debate with the poster I think that this is spot on!
Now I am not agreeing with Jeff just because I have found out he is the boss but I know how difficult it is to know which forum to go to when unsure of yourself and joining a site for the first time jeff even appears to know himself from his dismissal of FAQs [arn’t they annoying?!} …
as to the welcoming newbies but adding gentle reminder I would wait until 4th or 5th post until I tried this…Not just Jeff but we all must know how daunting it can be to join a new site and how easy it is to make the decision that “this isn’t the site for me!” based on the most harmless criticism or slightly harsh tone.
This isn’t an exxaggeration, I have experienced it personally and I’m sure I’m not alone in experiencing this daunted feeling when riding the web for the first time and thinking of joining a site where yoyu are not sure hoew welcome yours words will be nor how you’re knowledge will be assessed in terms of contribution or lack of, on thre site.
Sorry, I seem to have gone on for ages without saying much but I feel like I’m commenting for ever and I want to take a break now and come back to this…time to take the dog for a walk _ Neil!
๐
WorshipherMemberThanx for your advice but I thought it would be nice to break it up abit since I had alot of responding to do
[Was abit overwhelmed at the time, I KNOW, so uncomputer-like of me…sighs]
I sort of like the way I did it but of course if people have objections well of course one has to defer to the majority besides doubtless I won’t be in a situation like this again and…
sorry am I going on abit?
Quite right, one very long post would have done fine. Nobody would have read it but it would have done that’s for sure.
How are you Prince G?
Hope everything else on the site meets your approval?
:new:
Ooh “advisor”…I only just noticed that on your post! …and me a mere “junior member”…I better reign my horns in pretty quickly and say thankyou for the advice you are so right! and me so :new:
Sorry, guess I have an issue or two with poeple who present themselves as rather unpleasant “advisors” [though you use the self-deprecating “nerd”] without even a “hello” but just an “advice”.
I know I won’t last long here but I don’t care about that. I just like the human touch and you definitely are not burdened with this acquisition, Prince G.
Not really surprising that you should see yourself as someone who fdeserves to be worshiped rather than a Worshipher
:woot: Agghh I’m banned!
No, it was all my fault, so what if I know from personel experience that threads go on for half an hour do not get read and I got carried away…looking back at his post he didn’t cause offense just because he didn’t say hello specifically.
I seem to have overreacted to the er…I won’t bother saying hello but I have a criticism of your post aspect of it.
Sorry. if I get to know this pesron I am sure I will love him on many, many levels if you just give me a chance!
WorshipherMemberSarahtowny…She of the Snowdondian mountains {I would have waved to you if I had have had PC or mountain climbing activities in mind, recently] I can’t understand why these people don’t come back when you give them such a great welcome!
Despite first night initial impression it seems that you guys really know how to lay the carpet out and I am apologetic for me initial impression!
:sick: :woot: ๐ฎ
WorshipherMemberReading this I’m begining to think that maybe Rapid Kitten is spot on about her loquashiousness [oh god, i’ve spelt it like like liquorish and I can’t even be bothered checking to put it right] and Jacob has all the encouragement he needs to continue as a member.
Bet he couldn’t spell that word tho…
๐ฎ ๐
WorshipherMemberAh, so many replies on a site where I never thought much could happen for a less than comp lit dude like meself.
Dealing with them from the begining Tigerblade who came back at me not once but twice thankyou so much and your choice of nick is immaculate, infact I can only think of one and that starts with W…;)
And an acknowledgement from the bossman [innovator] himself whose name it is I seem to have pinched. :woot:
Maybe I saw “Jeff” around whilst trying to navigate the introductions and thought “Cool name…seems to fit”…This seems suspiciously likely as I had no urge to call myself that beforehand, so maybe I’ll drop the “Jeff” business and get back to “Neil” [or “Worshipher” to special friends]…
Sorry, I’ll be serious soon, I promise ๐
I wanted to acknowledge SarahTowny’s post individually because byheck Snowdonia, yes, we went pretty near it, at least as near as driving through Snowdonia National Park enroute to Portmeirion, where we spent an idyllic three days [should have been two but we booked the room for an extra night as it was difficult to get away from the enchantment of the place] in a very strange situation where the village is full of tourists all day that come in at eleven oclock and have to leave again before evening so that you have tourists crawling all over the place all afternoon and going by your window’s looking right in at you [not us so much as our room was on the first floor but Ruth was nearly caught out a couple of times wandering betwist bathroom and bedroom less than fully dressed by tourists climbing the windy steps upto the art Gallery]yet hardly ever meeting another soul on the path down to the coastline in the evening.
Also the whispering woods, don’t know if you have heard of them, Sarahtowny.
and part of the room service was a chance to watch the first episode of The Prisoner [starring Patrick Magoo..? could have that wrong] on a channel they provided. That was spooky, not because the village is so remarkably unchanged from when the y filmed that but the uncanny way in which they got off that tourist minding his own business characterisation in the extras.
Sorry, have I gone on abit?
I’ll shutup now!:woot:Do you know Eagle Kiwi who I’m presuming hails from New Zealand [about which I know sweet nothing apart from wot I encounter on the web] waht I like about you and subsequent reactions to me is that it is so natural. Of course the forst thing you are gonna think i can’t spell, naturally, but I have also spoken to you on another matter on another thread so won’t say much else.
Rapidkitten, I feel exactly the same way about you, such a natural reaction and by that fact so welcoming. Am In really as eloquent and long-winded as you? I havn’t been around the site long enough to check out the veracity of this [and note, sometimes I love the big words…:D ] prefering to just get stuck in and waswer this torrent of welcomes that makes it sa good to get back in the reclining seat…
Wonder what you mean by the card play and what a five is…something tells me you like to be a abit of an enigma but agian I could be making total bottom of myself.
I will find out, soon.
:new: :p ๐
And finally [last but not least] Mr Oats.
I think the Jeff of the site may have something to say in regard to you presenting me as the younger party [infact he already has presented somrthing to this effect hasn’t he so maybe this is a wind-up anyway…I know what you old hands are like with us newbies from experience on another site …Ouch! Don’t ask!:woot: ]
And I would love to know what inspired that comment from Eagkle Kiwi – thinking back – about hope for the youngsters…
but I’ll sign off now – Well, not quite now, I’m going to do abit of reading and the trouble with reading is it can make me respond – knowing that the introductions is not a place to try and get up any rapport with yall but I’ll post this anyway.
Thankyou all!

WorshipherMemberI tried that, Eagle, but it kept saying “Login failed”…

WorshipherMemberIs that supposed to help me?

“It’s not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Deathwish” -My Chemical RomanceI’m wondering if this was the song that I heard by MCR the other day. I was always abit put off by their name being a product of the 80’s myself [thought they would be too “modern” for me] but I loved it!
Actually, thinking on it may have been “The Chemical Brothers”. Another band name that I obviously had the same problems with [ie reluctance to take them seriously as an older person – I’m 45] but it was brilliant. So distinctive and listenable. I listen to alot of radio because I drive a taxi for a living but I get bored with the oldies stations after awhile…
Ah, well, another pointless – though hopefully not antagonistic – post.
I’m sure to be banned soon.
