Thanks for the update, MrsM. The effort you make on our behalf is appreciated. I agree that we should start a For Sale thread, which hopefully eventually can be pinned.

Now who wants to start? I would love to do some buying, but unfortunately I don't have much to sell...

Married my love on October 20, 2007...

expecting our baby boy in mid-October, 2008!

Mrs. M - I certainly don't blame you, and I think anyone who understands how hard you work within the confines of the mod role could possibly blame you for something like this!  I think you make a good point - we could sustain a for sale post without it needing to be pinned if everyone was diligent about making sure it stayed on the front page by posting/bumping, etc.  Pinning would be nice, but you can only do what you can do, and that's not your fault.

Perhaps, once again, you need to stop taking things so personally.  Maybe if the HEAD MOD who we were addressing/asking to take notice, did, you wouldn't take it so personally. 

Fact of the matter is I'm not the only one who feels ignored. 

Sorry that you find it so "easy" to do as you suggest.  I also think it's pretty EASY for the Head Mod who does notthing around here, to pin the topic.  That would be EASY.

I'd say I appreciate your replies, but once again your taking issues too close to heart.  Your a Mod, when we have an issue, we're supposed to address YOU.   You can't take every little complaint to heart like it's an attack on your character. 

Sorry I sound upset but when I originally left CB, a part of the reason was your reactions to taking issues too personally.  Enough already. 

There, is that direct enough?

There, is that direct enough?

In your earlier post, you wrote:

"There's really no point anymore.....We've already been advised to just start a thread (like any other) to sell stuff in.  Basically one that will easily get lost. 

This is the most we got out of this whole thread:  "What more can I do other than suggest that you just start a For Sale Thread in Family Planning to sell your items and be happy with that."

I just don't see why it can't be pinned like the TTC and EDD threads were."

You specifically quoted what I had responded with in a previous post. How am I not to take that personally? Your post makes it look like I did nothing at all to assist you. Your words and your attitude and behaviours are condescending and rude.

While it may be easy for the Head mod to pin a topic, if she isn't getting the emails or pm's due to technical difficulties, what more can I do other than place a long  distance call to her, speak with her directly, and tell her what it is the members want. I've done that. 

Yes I'm the mod here and when you have an issue, you come to me to assist with finding a solution. But you need to learn some tact. Instead of writing your posts in a way that offends someone, find another way to express  yourself a lot more nicely.  Maybe then I wouldn't take it to heart or personally. However, your last post made it sound like I was doing nothing at all, when you could have stated something like "Mrs M has done all she can do. Either start the thread and it gets pinned when it gets pinned, or let's forget about it and use the for sale section which is primarily where anything that is to be bought or sold on CB needs to go."

If you want a for sale thread, create one and maintain it instead of pointing your finger at ppl and constantly complaining about things or ppl.

I can match your directness any time Beebear. If you didn't attack ppl's character perhaps we wouldn't feel attacked then. Perhaps if you were nicer in your posts, ppl would react differently. Perhaps a different talkboard for you is best then.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.

To understand a mother's love, bear your own children.

Mother is the name for God on the lips & in the hearts of little children.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. 
 

  Mrs. M and loving it!!!

I'm not about to get into another match with you.  I have been nice and used tact and got nowhere before....and after the last time, I have no desire to in the future.

I apologize that the wording of my posts doesn't meet your criteria.

I look forward to using the For S
