Good Grief, What Next? In search of TRUTH
WARNING - THE FOLLOWING BLOG IS INTENDED ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT THINGS OPENLY, HONESTLY AND OBJECTIVELY! IF YOU DO NOT LOVE TRUTH AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING THE GOOD WITH THE BAD DO US BOTH A FAVOUR AND NAVIGATE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE IMMEDIATELY!
In case you couldn't tell allready this little piece has been inspired by anger. Instead of freaking out and busting some heads like I really want to I have decided to instead focus that energy into this here blog. You see I LOVE APSense, I really do. Now it isn't so much the network itself or the fancy tools(even though they are pretty awesome and off the hook!), but what it is that I really love is YOU THE PEOPLE! Somehow several people who have integrity ended up members here(and I imagine the key people in management are such folks too even though I can't say for sure because I don't personally know any of them!)
We could have all the best tools and most amazing technilogical crap you could imagine.
It wouldn't mean a damn thing and it would be good for nothing without people
Real people
Compassionate human beings, understanding and unbiased personallities, people who realize they don't know everything. Because none of us do! And anyone who would claim to is nothing but a lair and a fool, period.
Now there are many here who seem not to approve of the "dramatics" that arise from time to time. They seem to think "issues" shouldn't be discussed.
Well what the _uck is that?
WRONG, Plain and simple.
If we try to ignore the wrong doings of the few who have selfish interests NOTHING will ever be solved.
"If we just swept the dirt under the carpet
It would still be dirt under the carpet
and as we kept adding it
eventually we'd just have one big friggin pile of dirt"
and then what?
No Openess
No respect
No trust
No Regard for others as unique individuals
NO INTEGRITY
And one dirty disgrace of a business social network!
No Thanks!!!!!!
P.S. I am not a child. I do not need to be treated like one nor to I need to be told like one. If you have any issues with me or any of my material tell me to my face and we'll discuss it until we come to terms that are acceptable to us, it is called comprimise and we are all capable of it just as we all have the right to be here.

I absolutely agree!
I myself have already started my own message to him about it. I don't come here to be harassed or slandered by an individual/s! I am not putting my tail between my legs and go crying to 'mommy and daddy' per say, and I can fight my own battles...but this is childish, unnecessary, and if this is what has to continuously happen I can no longer promote Apsense as being 'the place to be' or the 'best social networking site out there'. Which is what I do daily, and even have

First of all Eric, when where and HOW have you assumed that I am being critical? You come pouncing in here on my comments. I have not said ONE critical thing to you and won't other than wishing you would leave this blog...or stop causing conflicts (which I am finding that you are very good at starting) I am a very POSITIVE person and I take care of myself and my things....and think I have been quite patient with you! As I said we can discuss what ever problem you have with me I gave you eve

One more comment for the moment....
A few who have commented here that they "missed" something. Well maybe you did and maybe you didn't...but some of you definetly missed something over here:

btw...in my opinion that link could very well be the most important discussion taking place in this community, feedback?

Hi Eric,
Firstly I like to ask how you assume Jeunelle's comment has anything to do with the blog I have written?
Secondly, I agree as far as admin goes and them doing their job, I know for a fact they put up with more flack then most of us could even imagine and the amount of gratitude they get surely pales in comparision. I also know I wouldn't want their job and this is something all members here should be taking into consideration.
and to all it may concern,
Getting to the int

Good Grief! Okay I have been waiting and dealing with this little issue I brought on my self so after this comment I will slowly start to address the other feedback here.
I believe things are slowly getting smoothed out between the individual who will remain annomous for good reason. The important thing here is we have both left our lines of communication open so far and I don't see any reason for either of us to close them. The funny thing about all of this is it really has been mis-commu

Jeunelle,
It would seem to me that Hackers and yourself are the ones being critical... Consider what this blog is about and you assumptions on certain people in reference.
I have better things to do with my time than to argue ethics and morals...

I'm not criticizing anyone Hackers, i'm doing the opposite.
It is the Admin & Moderators here that receive that and for no purpose.

I would like to start by stating that I am a very open and honest person. If I state something that you may deem too blunt or that may appear too honest…well it is not. Do not misinterpret my comments or conversations to mean anything but the words that are coming directly from my mouth. Furthermore, do not misconstrue my actions as being misleading if my comments are clear as day. My intentions do not revolve around playing mind games, nor do I like meddling with them. So if you thi

Hi Hackers
Sometimes we do things without even knowing it and in this instance you answered MY point without even knowing it... ;o)

Thanks Eric. :0)
Being a mother of five, and a parent since 18, and on my own since 17....I sure didn't know what responsibility means!!!!
You answered exactly what I said...so thank ya!
All I say is.....WE THE PEOPLE are running Apsense. Just like WE ARE RUNNING OUR BIZ....
OH..I mean OUR LIVES
And in doing so we are taking RESPONSIBILITY in our actions, lives, and reputation!

Hackers, Hackers, Hackers,
When we enter someone elses house, we still own what we do in it. Thats called "Responsibility". If we go to a friends house for a Barbeque and while there accidentally break a Window on the house we OWN that mistake and its our responsibility to fix it - Sure the owner might say, don't worry about it i'll put it through insurance, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is our responsibility.

I have witnessed the death of two social networks-- One of them took a lot of my writings with them... I'll never see that stuff again, the other disentegrated into people accusing each other of horrendous stuff, mob-thoughts, and just general violence-- and that network was supposedly based on helping the poor! :(
As a matter of personal policy-- I have yet to sponsor one member to Apsense-- Because I don't want my truly good friends to ever experience anything like what I've gone through..
