You may never know...

I don't post here much, but I wanted to comment on something that has been on my mind for some time. I don't know how many members are on this site nor do I really care. There are real people here. Forget the trolls, the political fanatics, the fetishists, the bullshitters, the haters, the porn lovers, the selfie posters, etc. I am talking about authentic people. Those who care. Those who are struggling. Those who log in and respond with honesty, empathy, compassion, wisdom. Those who ask questions and want real answers. Those whose humour and wit make me smile. Those whose name or avatars immediately bring me to them. My inner circle consists of amazing people-they have always been special to me. Most of them gathered here from EP while others I gathered here. They matter to my heart. Real people. There are strangers here too. Some more approachable than others. Rarely do I regret reaching out on SW. Some of my dearest friends I have made in this manner. I am rambling, that is my way. Back to my reason for posting. I just want to say that you may never realize how a kind word or more may help someone. When I have time, I try to pm people that matter to me. There is never enough time as life keeps me busy. Confession? Sometimes it takes me days or weeks or longer to reply. And I always reply to pms unless they are hi or how are you from strangers. If I know someone needs help or I feel they do, I send a message. This makes a difference to them as well as when it is reciprocated. So I am encouraging the real people here to continue to reach out or to reach out to others (safely). Your words may lift spirits. You may make someone's day. You may save a life even. Just caring makes a huge difference. That's about all for today. Take care of yourselves. Reach out some. Make and keep your connections. 2022-10-12

I may appear at times to be confrontational to some. Bizarre in my opinions and beliefs. Or appear to be limited in tolerance to a few.

Yet I often at times attempt to be helpful. Specifically regarding this site. Yet as well encouraging others to post more regarding controversial topics.

Did this last recently, to a user that has had some serious warnings today.

I do attempt to recognize that everyone is different. That no two people will have the same behaviors. Weather it's confrontational or of a easy going nature as yourself.

Sometimes it appears that I am being rude, when I give warnings about the TOS. Yet my intent is just purely warnings. I dislike seeing even those given warnings being kicked off for groups of user retaliation.

I see things differently though. Not as polar type of thinking, as my recent music posts indicates with the ending line of...

The words to me are basically irrelevant, because I think in terms of music. I find it ironic that with most, that they think in terms of words or musical lyrics.


Many of my replies are as such as this post. It doesn't matter what the topic is. My values or what I consider important just do not follow the prevailing values.

Not that I don't consider certain things wrong yet even the importance of what I consider wrong doesn't have the same weight of the majority. So I often am blocked for those different opinions.

This also applies to those various topics you have mentioned, because I simply block no one which is as well a rarity.

I have no qualms with those who either block or block me specifically. Just that is as well my own peculiarity. Blocking simply doesn't matter to me in the normal sense.

I welcome change in all things. To me change is life itself. So I don't limit myself to any group excepting the most intolerant users of topics.

In that light I do have one set of groups in mind, not users, because I find they are the most intolerant. I dislike such confrontation, yet at the same time I can not let such polarized opinions effect everyone else.

Not an excuse really, just how I am. I do feel everyone is entitled to an opinion. Yet not at the cost of the whole sites experience.

Yet this includes even the admin themselves, like with this recent confrontation...

If it should ever be a major majority opinion, I doubt I'll be here much after that. Like ¾s of the site. Likely I would get all kinds of warnings where I currently have none right now.

Sort of a proof of this last statement for those of a noisy nature, like those who have blocked me yet have more than one account. Not you my dear friend! 🤗

@DeWayfarer You are a unique individual and friend. You speak your mind and also try to help others. I wish I was better at coping with change. Thank you for your comments.

Just for the record, I've always thought that you're an awesome individual with a lot of depth and perspective
@Ferric67 Hi, Ferric. Thank you for your words. I have always respected you. You're an intelligent, caring friend though we don't talk much. Have a good evening, my dear. Is that blog updated yet?
Ferric67 · M
@PoetryNEmotion 😇
I'm probably somewhere a month away from restarting my blog...I have certain deadlines to meet by then. I'm terrible at multitasking.
@Ferric67 In these times, it is difficult to multitask. Just let me know because I want to read it. :)

I just found this post,i think if your observent and really pay attention to what people do and say here it's easy to weed out the rabbel and be left with connections that have real meaning. This site and the people here have pulled me up so many times ,shown me kindness compassion and given me a chance to give those things in return .There are days when i wonder what i'm doing here and there are days i wonder what i'd do without the friends i have found. If i have to wade through miles of bs to find one person like poetrynmotion then it is for sure worth it. The bad interactions fade but the good are forever imprinted into my life. We need more posts like this so people get to see the best sw has to offer.I have no family have not had since i was 4 years old ,but i have family now thanks to the good people i found here .If a person shows kindness and empathy then selfies or verifications don't matter .Oddly enough one of the people that helped me when i was lost turned out to be a catfish ,but that does not matter to me .,The help was real and where it came from is beside the point.
@kodiac It takes more time to find people to make connections with here. They are so worth it though. Kodi, you matter to me. I knew that even from afar and long ago. The world has turned darker in these troubled times. People are struggling. For some, this is their only safe place. Friends are so important. Reaching out safely makes life easier. I am grateful you feel you have found family. You are part of my heart always. SW serves purposes far more important than people realize.

Wonderful post.

Yes , there are some odd and randoms here and a very few good people like you.

Glad you have made some good connections with genuine people here, and that you have gratitude for the experiences.

Keep shining like you always do.
💐💐
@scorpiolovedeep Hi. I don't know you, but I am happy to have you comment. I love Australia. I don't mind odd people or randoms. I just don't like people who pretend to be someone else or bully or attack here. Indeed, such good friendships that I bring into my other world by email or cell, etc. They are my blessings. I try my best, Calmfidence as I am sure you do too. Thank you for your words.
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
Oh I changed my username recently lol.

Used to be scorpiolovedeep. 😊

@PoetryNEmotion
@scorpiolovedeep I am sorry. I don't know that one either, but judging by my brief glance at your profile, you seem like a good man. Nice to meet you. :)

This is an awesome post. And much needed for the community. I am also from EP, and have felt some discouragement with some from this site who are only here to harass and belittle others. We need more LOVE in the world, not hate!
@lifesatrip This site cannot ever be EP. It has to stand on its own, but it can do better. Thank you for your comments. Many veterans from EP days have left.

Wonderful post from a classy lady x
@RubySoo Hi, girl! I can say the same comment about you! I see you here spreading your good cheer frequently. Thank you.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
Good post and thanks for saying this

Admittedly, failing to reciprocate is a great weakness of mine, maybe it's shyness... I dont know.

Anyways, I hope you'll continue to find the folks that are worth keeping in your circle. Always be kind
@caPnAhab Do reciprocate! That is how you make friends. I do not add friends but rarely now. Kindness is free. Thank you for your comments.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@PoetryNEmotion I believe it

And you're welcome
ReneeT · 61-69, M
I try to reach out to everyone that I enjoy talking with here as much as I can. Having a very nice conversation makes my day and I think it does with those I talk with. Even if it is not every day, I hope that they know I am thinking of them. 😌
@ReneeT This is all true. Thank you for your comments.

Forget the trolls, the political fanatics, the fetishists, the bullshitters, the haters, the porn lovers, the selfie posters, etc.

Isn't that everybody?
@DCarey No, it is not. And you should know that if you have been a part of this site and/or EP for any length of time
MartinII · 70-79, M
@DCarey No, it certainly isn’t.
DCarey · 46-50, M
@MartinII Are you sure?

I like seafood.
@SW-User I don't know what this has to do with this posting. Are you reaching out or waxing nerds? HA.
SW-User
@PoetryNEmotion Always waxing nerds.
@SW-User I don't get this.

@Roundandroundwego I don't associate with people who speak only about politics. They like to fight online. The world is not all about politics. It is about people. You can go now. Bye.
