If you had checked out the scoops and spoilers, you would have seen that they are on today and Nora (for sure) is on tomorrow.

Again...this is info you could have found out for yourself!!!

....it's that kind of attitude that pisses me off. "I don't have time but I'm sure someone else has time to look it up for me. I am SOOOOOO much more important than they are." You had time to do a post AND respond but you didn't have time to look through the scoops????? Sure...uh huh.

Enough. I'm not going to do it anymore! And if it happens again, the post will be deleted. From anyone!!!! And there may be banning involved.

I completely agree with you, Mary Ann. UGH! It is so frustrating and I'm not even the board monitor. I don't know how you do it!!!!

Thanks Mary Ann. We are all busy, and for the amount of time it takes to ask a question, most could have been answered by trying to find the information oneself.

[> Mary Ann... -- Tatjana, Mon, Jan 11 - 12:16:32pm

I’m sorry if the question upset you. It was meant as a simple question. I’m not usually one who is not up-to-date on the scoops. Therefore I was upset about your reaction at first. Then I thought I might just have been a mere drop in the ocean (I hope this is the expression. I had to look it up.) I hope that’s the case. I didn’t mean to offend you or use up your time. I’m always grateful for all the work you put into the board.

I think you are missing the point. It's not the fact that you asked a question. But you asked a question in which you simply could have scrolled down the board to read the scoops to find out who was on today.

Instead you asked for other people to help you. Like MA said, you took the time to post the question and your follow up. In the time it took you to do that you could have scrolled down the board and answered the question yourself.

We just had a blow-up over similar issues with other posters!! It's getting out of control.

I'm not this board's administrator but if you are so worried about being "chastised" then why do you come back? I mean I see where MA is coming from when they put SO much into keeping us informed! Look at Cindy for example... the woman types up a recap every day when it is of interest to us. This stuff is done for free and out of the kindness of their hearts. Just take the extra step. It just looks like one doesn't care enough about the work they do when the answer is right there and you don't even look for it but you have time to post on other things and start new posts of your own. Not trying to start a war, just giving my take on it.

[> [> Re: Mary Ann... -- Kathryn, Mon, Jan 11 - 1:25:01pm

I don't think Tatjana did anything wrong. You should be able to ask a question without getting jumped on for not having found the information yourself. I would have been happy to answer her question, except that I don't post here for fear of getting chastised by Mary Ann - which happens ALL the time on this board. It is so frustrating because this is otherwise a great site. I just don't understand the need to be nasty to the posters here.


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> Kathryn.... -- Janis, Mon, Jan 11 - 1:33:19pm

If you have been lurking here I'm sure you have seen ALL the other posts we've had asking for this and that and please hurry and what's this and what's that requests.

Why is it such a big deal for posters to do a little research first before asking their questions?!?!? Especially questions that have easy answers such as WHAT TIME ZONE DO I LIVE IN AND SCOOPS!

You are not the board monitor and don't have to deal with all the questions as Mary Ann does - graciously.

If people don't like it here, you can leave. We've survived 10+ years without you and we'll continue.

[> [> [> [> Re: Kathryn.... -- Kathryn, Mon, Jan 11 - 1:40:00pm

Clearly, I am not the board monitor and you all can do what you want. I was simply expressing an opinion, as someone who likes the site, that it would be nicer not to feel like you are going to get attacked for posting something.


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> [> [> Re: Kathryn.... -- Janis, Mon, Jan 11 - 1:48:57pm

I'm also not really sure what "attacks" you are referring to. We had one the other day and now this. That's not a lot compared to other boards.

It's a simple common courtesy to other posters. I don't get what the big confusion is for some people -- they just don't seem to understand.

[> [> [> [> [> Re: Kathryn.... -- Jocelyn, Mon, Jan 11 - 2:06:49pm

I agree with Kathryn in a way here. I don't think we have to jump on someone with a question, but choose to ignore it. They'll get the point and not post again.

Maryann and others do a lot of work here and it is awesome. Let's keep this a nice place for all.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Jocelyn -- MaryAnn, Tue, Jan 12 - 6:46:38am

Your name was in quotes because you seem to have multiple personalities on this board. I guess I'm not sure what to call you.


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> Not that I need to say anything here.... -- MaryAnn, Mon, Jan 11 - 2:21:19pm

...but as always when has that stopped me!

As Janis said - the only time I've chastised people has been in the last week - twice (NOT counting the times anyone has used the "name combination term." THAT will always get you a lashing - and usually just not from me.) Both were a case of people asking questions that they could easily answer themselves. As was noted the last time - take a few seconds before you post. Is this something you can find yourself? Then find it. Don't make others do the work for you. Sure...it might be an easy question but it takes someone time to find the info for you. In the past 6 months I've never seen so many people asking for stuff. That might be the norm at other boards but we've never been about that here.

One of the oldies last week sent me some "rules" that she thought we could implement. I went "hmmmmm do we really NEED rules?" Never in the past have I thought we needed any but maybe we do.

From now on, any of the stupid-ass questions are going to just get deleted. I don't even want them cluttering up the board so it's beyond just ignoring. Do it more than once and I'll just ban you from the board. Yea - that's a radical step and one I HATE using but enough is enough.

Oh...and welcome Kathryn and "Jocelyn." So glad that your first posts were to bitch at me. Always puts a warm spot in my heart!!!!

Not sure why my name was in quotes, but anyway I just want everybody on nice terms, I did not mean to offend.

[> [> I officially apoligize for my dumb question and won't ask any stupid questions again. I hope that settles it. I just took the time to post now because it really got to me. Now I'm off to learn for my exam. -- Tatjana, Mon, Jan 11 - 2:38:06pm

You are not doing yourself any favors by having a snotty attitude when we are trying to explain our side of it.

IMO you still don't get it.

[> Re: Does anyone know if Bo and/or Nora are on today? -- Shelley, Mon, Jan 11 - 5:11:27pm

I just want to apologize for if i have ever posted any questions that were stupid or whatever.. any questions i normally have surround around the past when i really dont have a clue to as of what year for the recap to look at and i've seen everyone else talking about it, so i figured i could just ask..

im not trying to be smart at all... just wanted to say it cause i know i have posted questions.

i just really do want to say thank you MA and Cindy and anyone else who has kept the board going. you guys do so much and Cindy, those recaps you always do are the best esp. when i cannot watch the show!! i absolutely love this board because everyone loves bo and nora and because of this board i have learned so much about any other questions i ever had about bo and nora's past! thank you again!

[> [> Shelley -- MaryAnn, Mon, Jan 11 - 6:17:47pm

I have no problem with questions about Bo and Nora's past or things that happened long ago. We all know that not everyone has watched B&N from the beginning. I'm more than willing to help out someone with questions that they can't easily find out for themselves. So feel free to keep that type of question coming.

[> [> [> Re: Shelley -- Deanne, Mon, Jan 11 - 7:08:20pm

Good to know Maryann. It has been great to catch up and simply remember this love story (even though I have watch from the beginning)
I love the standards you have set. That is what makes it all so great.

[> [> [> Re: Shelley -- Shelley, Mon, Jan 11 - 7:35:34pm

Thank you MA! Glad to hear that!! I am almost caught up on learning most of Bo and Nora's past! I wish I would have watched from the beginning!!
