Maybe the time when you started many threads about religion gave you a "stubborn" reputation that wasn't helped when, after creating a thread about dieting, you went to a thread where a member asked for prayers to say, basically, "i don't pray, go diet". I know it was not your intention, but it sounded harsh.



I know what you mean. I made another post there to clarify that I was only trying to provide some advice that might be useful to him. In hindsight, I probably should not have mentioned the word "pray" at all in my post, and everything would have been fine.

BTW: I didn't start "many threads about religion" - I started two polls and a third one that I had closed shortly afterwards, if I remember correctly. Those discussions were very active, so it might have looked to some like I was spamming the place.

Mike you deserve more credit for what your site is useful for even if usability issues arise from time to time, pity it is not acknowledged more by major shareholders here.
It is the people that made PA what it is
You are a tenacious fellow and all credit to you for that!

^^ Thanks, and likewise! Well, I used to think that I still show support for PA through providing the genre team charts. I know what you mean regarding pushing my website, but I haven't really done that lately ... except for occasionally pointing out some differences between the websites. But in my experience I lately get flak for all sorts of things that are neither related to PF nor PA.

Is it all a bit childish? Sure, but then again we all are childish in our love for music, and I'm certainly glad about that.Smile

I'm sorry you're feeling that way Mike, to be honest I've noticed that a little bit and I'm not sure what the issue is, except maybe a sort of 'well you kept pushing your site, stepped down from a team, and you still want to be friends ?!'  kind of playground nonsense.  I don't know.  I do know I still like you.

Lately I'm getting the feeling like many of you take offense when I start threads about anything except music, even if I only start maybe one such thread per month (at the most), and I start those threads in the proper categories. Furthermore, I've posted some critical remarks about the new sister website of PA and got the usual negative replies (basically just versions of "your website looks like sh*t anyway").

So: Have I offended anyone, and if so, what's the offense? Feel free to answer here, by PM, or simply ignore the question.Smile
