I am at a loss today...
Seems like there has been a fair bit of debate around the community lately, almost seems as though some people would rather compete with each other than help each other. I have even seen some pretty childish bickering and complaining between members, for whatever reason, thats between them and they should keep it that way. When we compete we all lose.
Now, I ain't perfect, much as I'd like to be, and my remarks may seem competitive too, really they are just my opinions, attempts at real conversation if you will. If we need to challange anyone, it should be ourselves, our own ways of thinking. Don't think for one second my thinking hasn't been challanged here at apsense, it has and continues to be, and I love it!
Back to whats really bothering me, what made me come home from work during my lunch break just so I could get this off my chest already. The wining and complaining I have seen lately is enough to drive me up the wall. I don't care whether it's that someone isn't topping blogs, or someone isn't leaving comments, someone isn't taking the right action or whatever. Complaining proves nothing! It just gets everyone fired up, thinking in a negative fashion, and guess what, nobody's happy! You know, apsense was pretty awesome before all the bells and whistles that we now have were added. If all people are going to do is complain about how people use these features maybe we should just lose them. THE ONLY ACTION WE SHOULD BE TAKING IS INSPIRED ACTION, PERIOD! I'm sorry but the negativity of it all is driving me over the edge. The thing that makes this community great is the people, the people are the one thing that can decide: Do we make it great, or do we tear it down and destroy it just to serve our own selfish desires?
So, if you want to top or drop this, whether you want to leave a comment or not, no matter what you think of me, WHATEVER, Tell Me or Don't, I DON'T CARE! even if you think I'm a total jerk, it doesn't matter. I'm looking for enlightened, real discussion from forward thinking people. I will not disregard any remarks, good or bad, just be prepared to deal with my honest feedback, and just maybe together we can grow into some magnificent!

Wendy,
That is one of the perks of being a group admin, you can actually Top a comment and when you do, it gets Stuck at the top of the first page (hence the paper clip icon)

lol... no I am not a hypocrite Juenelle, I don't think i have ever said any idea was bad... I HAVE questioned the delivery vehicle used to get the idea/s out (you will know what i mean there).
heartuvgold,
I agree totally,
It's the theory of relativity isn't it... Every action has an equal and opposite reaction ?
It is impossible to live in one parallel and not the other. Negativity is a great measure to decide what we do or don't want to do, or even WHO we want or don't want to be.

Hi Garnet - you crack me up! That nice green paperclip makes me think that I had better speak my mind more often! LOL
And we have and are continuing to have a happy ending. And I do agree with Eric that people running for cover and then returning when it is safe to come out is not hypocrisy - just common sense for some! LOL But the great thing is that they have come back and are happy bunnies and we have people posting great stuff and some great conversations going. And THAT is showbusin

There has to be a negative for every positive, that's how the universe works. It's the negatives that make the positives positive. Necessity is the mother of invention, and without negativity being present there's no necessity for change. So we need to start being thankful for the change that's being made and thank the negativity for giving us a reason to make the change.

Juenelle,
One does not have to "be around" to "instigate" change to comment on the fact that they "like the changes". This doesn't make them a hypocrite.

Wow, since you started this blog - in what now feels like the dark ages, things have been moving!
We have a special Group Subject where we can openly make our suggestions to the ApSense owners for improvements. We have a whole new bunch of blogs and bloggers who are coming to the fore. . And a whole bunch of Groups and they-must-be-called-group-members (because Groupers are a kind of fish) which are now MOVING.
It looks to me as if, after all the support that some many of the so called p

There is a lot of people that have a way to get things
and in order to speak about action there is a lack of.
In so many ways we all have jealous streak and when
there is something that intimidates us we find ways to
not deal with and throw salt in a slick way.
I don't like confusion and I will speak my mind instead
of throwing salt.

Hey Rocky,
Awesome! Love the feedback, whether you know it or not, if people hadn't been stirring things up I would have never wrote this blog(confusing, isn't it?). As far as getting publicity, you can go about getting however you want, just be prepared to deal with the reactions to your actions...our actions will always speak louder than our words, think about that..lol
Rocky Pacley7
I have to ride that wave with you, I said the same thing on one of those complaining Blogs in a comment. Not every one is the same and what I like you may not and vice versa.
I love the fact that we can vent around here and to tell the truth the person that started that complaining really thought of a way to get the publicity they needed think about it on line marketing is a thinking game and in order to be noticed you have to stir up things.
Other than that this was an excellent post and I wi

Hi Devoxandria,
Er, what's so shocking? This is a diverse community, there are a lot of people here of different cultures and different levels of understanding in life and in business. There are bound to be "hiccups" now and then but when we all start working together the greatest results will be acheived, in fact I have seen some pretty awesome results already in the short time I have been here!
Coach ITM G3
I agree with you - APSense is not a place for competition and negativity, but rather a place to advertise and learn of products, services and business opportunities, while at the same time making valuable business contacts.

Well, I don't think I am a bad adminstrator I just think I had a bad day and clicked on a section unknown to apsense locks group creators out of there on created groups and without further a do. I have now been contacted by support and told that something may be done to fix that problem that happened
A problem brought on by changing a required field in our created groups that allows a set situation to be changed. In doing that it should not lock the group leader or administrator out of the

Hi Reta,
Little hard for me to say either way, would have to know more of your situation to give you good feedback.
