RE: Sometimes life is JUST about a good laugh!
hahahaha this is awesome @themanwithnoname!! I believe the answer is in there somewhere, but as an aside, if you ever get those suction cup thingys, I'm game :)
Thanks btw for checking in with Brian; we had a couple of rough days here, but all is well again. We both sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness.
I forgot about this comment. I was going to come back and flag him, but then I forgot. I'll keep you in mind for suction-cup-skyscraper climbing.
I don't remember checking in with him, but I forget a lot of things. Regardless, I'm glad things have gotten better. You both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you...yes, things are back to our version of normal.
I reached out to @khairul1306 on his post and got the same response to my comment...you know, the upvote and follow me business. So I politely replied that it's not a great idea to be doing that, but of course explained it better, and @khairul1306 replied with a big thank you for the advice and that as a new person, he just didn't know how to act. I just referred him to @newbieresteemday to check out what's going on there.
You know, I'm a firm believer in 2nd chances, but not 3rd or 4th ones. And I believe that most bad behaviour is simply because the person doesn't know any better. Once I pass on my suggestions, then I wait to see the response. This one gives me hope :)
Good for you for having patience with him. You're right, oftentimes people act the way they do because they don't know any better. Sometimes they want to do better and once you correct them, they change their behavior and are productive rather than destructive. Hopefully this is the case with him. Especially now that I have someone delegating to me, I'm extra careful of how I treat people, because I don't want my actions to reflect poorly on our benefactor. Not that I was mean or rude before, but if I'm going to flag someone, I want to make sure that I've given them chances to improve.
My thoughts exactly. I am an eternal optimist and believe in people's ability to change. I was also a teacher for many years, so I saw learned behaviour enough times to count on it now. Hope I can say that about this fellow down the road. It also helps that I have the patience of a saint :)
Sorry I actually came at the wrong time.
I really do not know this how.
So, thanks for all friends who have provided support to me.
I will study harder.
Sorry everyone, I hope this can be a good start
Your apology is awesome, thank you. I realise after talking to you, that you didn't know you were doing anything wrong, so it's all good:)
Hey @themanwithnoname and @galenkp, check it out! @khairul1306 is sorry, and just didn't know any better. He is off to a fresh start!
Cool, cool. Glad you were able to patch things up. To be honest, I'm sad they didn't pick one of the other options. :)
:)
I'm still game for the suction cup thingys if you ever find them :)
This platform is about community and each member needs to understand that they are welcome, as are you. However engaging in the way you attempted to is not well received and will only result in you losing far more than you hope to gain @khairul1306. Engage in a meaningful way and you will reap what you sow.
Hi @galenkp, I went over to his page earlier and relayed the same message to him. He was very thankful and showed a real willingness to learn the 'right' way.
Thank you for doing this; I really believe everyone deserves a second chance, and an opportunity to learn. Maybe not a 3rd or 4th:)
It's your page, so you get to determine if they get the hammer or not...unless I decide if they get the hammer. jk. I don't really flag. I just like to point out to people that they're being rude to my friends. The people with whom I interact frequently, I consider friends and don't like seeing them get spammed or scammed.
