I Did Something Nice To A Member In This Forum

Say that to my face.

Jon_Dahl's face, speak for yourself and stop assuming that you are representative of anyone but yourself.

You did a good thing.

Bragging might not be classy, but it isn't wrong either. Even if you did it solely to brag (and I'm not saying that's the case), you still did a good thing and made the world a little better for someone else. Keep it up.

IMHO, good actions should be praised and rewarded, not dismissed or diminished just because the doer decided to tell others.

"A high school student wrote to ask, 'What was the greatest event in American history?' I can't say. However, I suspect that like so many 'great' events, it was something very simple and very quiet with little or no fanfare (such as someone forgiving someone else for a deep hurt that eventually changed the course of history). The really important 'great' things are never center stage of life's dramas; they're always 'in the wings.' That's why it's so essential for us to be mindful of the humble and the deep rather than the flashy and the superficial." - Fred Rogers

Bartmanhomer, you did a great thing. Posting about it on a forum is not so great, as you can see from the replies here, but that doesn't make what you did any less great. Red Fel has some of the best advice in this thread; that was great in several ways, because this also became a learning experience. So don't feel bad when people offer advice, because they're just trying to help. Which is great.

I just thought posting about it was a good idea at first but I didn't know it would lead to that much drama.

We're on the internet. Everything leads to drama.

You take that back! How dare you!
You vacuous, toffee-nosed, malodorous pervert!

Yes, but I came here for an argument!

I just wish this thread will have a better outcome than all this drama. I have to learn the hard way and learn from it.

What outcome did you wish for?
When you made this thread, what did you hope would happen? What responses did you hope for?

I thought I'll get positive response to other members in this forum.

Hm, yeah, I can understand that. It's not really what most threads here are for, but at least I can see where you're coming from.
Oh well, lesson learned, I guess.

I like you, BartmanHomer, and I appreciate your threads and your insight. I wouldn't feel offended at all if you spoke about my private messages. Relax and just be yourself, we all like you.

Anything I choose to put on the internet, I'm ready for it to be "leaked" to the public, so I also wouldn't feel offended if PMs from me were made public, but as others pointed out already, the correct general advice to give to someone who's struggling with social norms and conventions is that private conversations should be kept private unless the other party agrees.

Yes you, Red Fel and everybody else are right about it. I should really take everybody advice's and learn from it.

I feel people would have more positive responses if, for example, you posted a thread asking what nice things other people had done recently, and then mentioned what you had done. As Red Fel said, threads in a forum are a form of conversation.

I move on to remember to take people advice. As Red Del said.
