Ok whoever messed with my audio profile is very sick!!!!!! I mean come on, here we're all adults so let's act like it.
This is something I'd expect from a 2 year old not an adult.
It is painful and hurtful and whoever did it is extremely demented and need help.
I've never done anything to anyone on this site except befriend anyone oh well thats the thanks I get
Couldn't you have taken this to Admin or dealt with it through the P.M's hmm?,remember you may have to apologise to those you have hurt with this accusation.
In Amandas defense I saw this the other day and Sent admina note and also one of the community leaders and notta was done about it. I actually asked Admin to get to it ASAP before she saw it and got hurt. Yup, I'm sure they can get busy like us all but without Amanda knowing I did liek I said message a community leader whilst they where online and also sent a note to admin.
I have never seen such a load of apathetic numpties as the Admin who are supposedly here to help us out,I suppose it depends on who you are.
I am not putting the blame on just one person. It would be wrong for me to do that becuase I dont know who did what they did.
It's just that I am going thru a really rough time right now so whoever did this picked the worst time to mess with me.
A very good friend of my mothers who is living with us, and I've gotten close to is dying from lung and liver cancer. There is nothing they can do becuase his heart is severely impaired and would go into heart failure if they tried any kind of surgery or treatments.
so i am not doing well it's been since last monday since things started and it's going to continue for awhile.
I just hope that whoever did this is reading this because what they did was wrong. But they have to answer to God in the end.
hmmmm I thought the only people who were aloud to even make audio profiles were the members themselves meaning you log in, you go to your profile settings and make a audio profile. How is it possible for someone to screw with another member's audio profile? Or maybe someone made obsene comments tords your audio profile? Cause I know you're allowed to vote and comment on them. I don't have a audio profile up I just never found the use for wanting to do it.
Somehow I don't think the someone messed with my audio profile r anks to highly on gods list of things to be worried about.
Blindguy, i have a question for you to answer, which you probably won't, which isn't surprising to me. How would you know what ranks high on God's list? You're certainly not one to judge that, now are you? That's what i thought. Catwoman, I'm sorry about your mother's friend.
that question goes diddo
I know because I'm gods little helper, so fuck off. Only mormins go to heaven, so have fun rosting in hell you heathen. As for not being nice, catwoman has a lot more to worry about then a messed up audio profile if shee's looking for boyfriends on a specificly blind sight, her problem is probably that she makes the darry cows we have in the farm school look atractive.
awwww Catwomen, I hope things go well with you. I understand what you're going through as my grandpa almost passed on from lung cancer. It is a hard and scary thing to watch and observe and maybe something so minor as this sat off your anger. As this has happened with my sister. The stress of us possibally moving, and her stress at work, and I can't remember what sat the fire but lordy I really don't wanna see her go through that. So the tinyiest things might've upset you where you couldn't control it? As I went into your profile I saw no audio link. And I don't recall ever seeing one as I visited your profile before.
aww, you poor blindguy, didn't you get that a little backwards? what you meant was you're the divil's little helper. Yes, I'm sure that's what you meant. But it's ok, everybody gets things a little backwards sometimes. *smiles*
ouch. that hurts.
wait..
never mind
Catwoman I feel for you can identify completely with that feeling being stressed out continually is hell, so I hope you feel stronger soon.
All the best
Alex
As for community leaders trying to get rid of that, we can't. We don't have sufficient access to the site...sorry
Damn you Acasha I am gods little helper!!! I've been his helper ever since last monday when my perscription ran out, and I haven't refilled it yet!
Amanda, I see that your profile is now restored. I am glad. I had heard it a while back, then was one of the unlucky few who heard how it had been butchered. I thought that was a cruel joke, one that should have never been played on anyone. I'm sorry to hear about your family troubles. My prayers are with you. And, to Blindvi, the link wasn't there last night, but it had been there before, and is back now. Blindguy should be ignored, since this seems to be a deliberate attempt to stir things up. Being Mormon myself, while we believe that we need to do certain things to get to Heaven, we have never said that the LDS people will be the only ones there.
Kwork the morman comment is not serious. It's a refference to a south park episode that you apparently haven't sceen.
The original has been restored. We are looking into what happened here and will take steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
blind guy I didn't know that this was a blind site until I was already on it.
and who cares who I date? Blind or not I don't really care as long as there a good person.
and dont get me started on religion. Thank you to those who have said nice things to me I appreciate it (smiles)
Lol. I've seen a few SP episodes, but not that one.
Just to clarify, the original idea was *not to make it a blindy-specific site. I guess it's just that because it was started by a blindy, he got the info out to his crowd, who, in turn, made email lists aware (the majority, blindness related etc.) and so on and so forth.
so yeah guess we're all hoping we may get more sighted users on board soon, but there is a few of them around already. :)
Hi Amanda,
I liked your profile, both text and audio. I listened to it, then when I saw your post, so went to see what happened, and it wasn't there. It's awful when someone does something to you for no reason. I am glad it'srestored now. I hope things will get better for you,
wonderwoman
Hi Catwoman, I'm sorry the profile upset you, and I'm glad it's back the way you want it now. Also hope we get more sighties on board soon. When I first came to this site, I thought it was just for blindies, but then I realized it wasn't. My friend and I have recruited one sightie thus far, hehehe yay! Lol. I'm trying to get my sis to join, but she claims she doesn't have time to sit around on here like I do, which is debatable, as she spends a lot of time doing other quote "pointless things." End quote. Anyway, I think thsi site rocks, and I bet I get her on here soon! Teehee!
Caitlin
The folowing is only meant to address an issue with a spisific individual and should not affect the maker of this topic.
Charisma posted the following as a rating to catwoman's audio profile...
Hey Amanda, I'm really, really, sorry that these, patheticly bored and stuck up individuals think they're so high on the list that they need to make someone
else feel bad. It's not only mean, it's cruel, senseless, ensinsitive, heartless, and just plain wrong. Maybe these people are so heartless that they wouldn't
care at all if people gave their audio profile a bad review and said such things about them. But the majority of us wouldnt, even., go there, or even think
of it! SO, as for your singing, don't let anyone stop you or put your singing voice down. I'm sure the girl who posted isn't a professional, and if she
is, she surely isn't, or shouldn't be a judge. She should go be one on American idol or something And I know you sing a lot better than most of those people
who audition on that stupid show anyway. So, take care Charis
My reply...
Charisma…Is it? You would be correct in thinking that I am not a professional singer. I will tell you something I am however…I am honest and I have good taste. A perfect example of these traits is my ability to know when someone is bad at something and having the resolve and yes, even decency to inform the person of such. This is the case with this female. She cannot sing and anyone who is not death can tell you that. I wonder if perhaps you are not only blind but death as well. Or perhaps you just like to kiss ass? How sad...
Note: I would like the maker of this topic to know that I realize how difficult it is to experience a loved one's misfortune. I wish you the best with the issue at hand.
Okay, I really didn't want to get into this, but being a singer, I feel strongly about this. First of all, Catwoman is not a bad singer. I have heard a lot of singers, and she is not bad! Saying someone is bad is just an opinion. So I can have an opinion too and I say she's not bad. Secondly, why are you telling her she's bad? It's just not nice. At least Catwoman had the guts to put her singing out there for people to listen to. With all the styles and singers out there, it doesn't seem right to say someone is bad. Maybe you just don't liek the style or song. Whatever. The point is that this is being blown way out of hand, and this site isn't here to insult people.
Caitlin
Also, I don't mean to make anyone angry by this post, nor do I want to diss Neph for what she said. I just want to say that, come on, this profile business has already been hurtful enough, without insulting Amanda besides. I realize that Neph, you said in your profile you're brutally honest, and I see nothing wrong with taht. But it wasn't so much honesty as it was putting someone down, which hurts, and I dont' want Amanda to see this, and just leave this site because of how she's been treated. Anyway, again, please dont' get mad at me for posting this, anyone. And franky if you do, I don't care, really. It won't bug me.
Caitlin
Honesty is good, if you want to sing in your profile and it sounds like shit then thhat should be told. It did sound bad, sure she's not american itel bad, but she is very crappy. I'm a bad singer so I dont' sing in my profile.
I intend for the following post to be my last so if anyone has something to say...go on but do not expect a reply. I do have a life you know...
1. Everyone has an opinion? Yes. That is exactly my point and this is exactly why I felt the need to post. If people had not lied to the girl I would not have wasted my time. Believe me. Whether anyone had an issue with it or not is completely on them.
2. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But remember, everyone has the option; sadly not many people utilize this fact, to make known their thoughts. This is what occurred with Charisma and now with you Caitlin. I urge you to believe me when I say that anything that anyone has to say in regards to me, who does not know anything about me outside of what I make available on a website, is a fool. But you know what…That is their opinion. Right? (Laughs) Remember, opinions are like assholes…Everyone has one!
3. You asked, “Why are you telling her she's bad?” Simply put…Because I can!
4. I will be the first to admit that I do come off rather harshly at times. I would even venture to say that perhaps this was one of those times. I will not however, ever, apologize for speaking my mind. The girl cannot sing and I will stand by the conviction that anyone who disagrees has bad taste. That is my opinion. Like it or not that is what it is. If anyone finds this to be hurtful in anyway…well…you will get over it!
5. It is really not that big of a deal. Just allow yourself to have a good cry after you come to terms with the fact that yes, you did indeed become emotionally attached to a website and permitted yourself to get hurt by people you do not know, and most likely will not ever know outside of your computer. In my opinion (Laughs to self) that is quite pathetic! So again I say…GET! OVER! IT!
Well ;) since we're discussing Amanda's singing. Look, in a way it's not fair, she's using a crappy microphone without any backing track whatsoever. Why she chooses to do this and put it on the audio profile is a little bizarre to me because she does not come off sounding good this way, it is true. However her voice actually has a great potential if it actually had the backing track and she was using state-of-the-art equipment. You can make anyone sound good this way but her voice has a tember that could actually well translate to a great romantic/ love song type of stuff. So, yes, on the profile it doesn't sound great, but it does have a certain promise of greatness given a more appropriate setting for her voice to shine through. Whether it actually would is something I cannot comment on. I'm not a professional per say but I've dabbled in recording and I've been in bands since I was 12 so I do know a potential voice when I hear one. Like Neph, I'm very honest about my opinions and don't pretend I'm impressed by something just to make a person feel good. May be I should be but I don't understand what purpose that would achieve. It's like the Emperror's New Clothes where he was made out to be such a fool because no one dared to tell him he was butt naked, it's ridiculous.
So, Amanda, I hope you're ok and I know times have been hard for you. You're a very sweet person and a great addition to this site. Only put as much of yourself out there as you are confortable with and be prepared for people to put you down, whether it's just or unjust or whatever their motives that's just the reality of the web site and, yes, after all it is just a web site so don't let it get to you. I think neph is actually 100% right on that point. I'd never be overly upset for someone putting me down online, not unless it was a friend or someone I truly care about I hang out here for fun and may be, in some aspects, to experience things I wouldn't in real life. So, do the same, enjoy being out here and try not to let stuff like this upset you.
Neph, I think I do agree for the most prt but I don't see why you had to use words like "pathetic" and try to put the girl down, even if it is just a web site it wasn't necessary to come off so superior and know-it-all and ms cool, but you did make lots of very valid points indeed. But just because it's a web site does not mean you have to be mean to people like that.
But, cheers to all
-B
well said, wildebrew. *hugs*
I agree with Wildebrew, and mostly with you, too, Neph. I mean, it's just a web site, don't get upset by it. But I agree that although you are perfectly entitled to your own opinion, and i applaud you for speaking it, that you could have been a bit kinder, and not put Amanda down so much, because she does have good potential and a good voice, and if she took the courage to put that out there, she, too, should be applauded. Ah well. I'll leave it here.
Caitlin
wasn't going to get in on this one. But on Amanda's voice, I do agree with wildeblew in that I can see that Amanda has great potential. but yes without backing tracks and/or perfect pitch it is a little hard.
as for the whole profile modification, as J said, we are making steps to ensure that will never happen again, and Amanda has been sent a private apology.
I am with wildeblew (and even discussions I've had with internetking on this topic) in that this is the net and there are always going to be people out there who will put others down (like face-to-vace interactions I guess) and it's something I obviously have to learn to deal with better as unfortunately not everyone takes the internet in such a serious manner like I do. I am myself and I guess I keep thinking that everyone else is too, but I am unfortunately wrong on that one. In saying all this however, putting someone down for putting themselves out there is very low. Yes it's fine to have an opinion but to purposely continue to snigger at someone just because you may not agree with what they did .. is just puzzling to me.
but in any case, let's "try" to end this thread OK and leave Amanda be to continue hopefully enjoying this wonderful site.
Cheers! :)
hi,
So, now it's my turn to get in on this. I did listen to Amanda's poste. I think like others have said, that she does have potentual. I sing as well, but I am too shy to post it lol! I think that people do have a right to opinions, but no one has to come off like they are b etter than people. If you can sing, thats great, but don't put people down just because. I agree with the mic thing. It's difficult when you are singing to a computer mic, because you can't use your whole voice because it goes staticy, and so maybe she couldn't give it her all. I just think taht people here should look out for others feelings. I could never see myself puttings omeone down like that. I think honesty is the best polacy, but maybe be a bit nicer with your honesty. Try maybe by giving constructive critism. I hope you are feeling better Amanda, and I wish you all the best. I hope you don't leave the sight because of what has happen3ed.
hi again,
I forgot to say sometjhing in my last poste. Oh also, don't mind the mistakes, burned finger today, so it's sorta not working hahaha! Anyway it was decent of nef to let Amanda know, but I just think she could have let her know in a better way. Sometimes brootally honest people are known to be stuck up. Hell, I've been known as that to sometimes due to my honesty and forwardness with others. I just try to be nicer about it. I know I might sound like a suck up, but I am trying to see both sides of the issue. I tend to do that oftin.
I am not gonna leave the site becuase of this. More people tell me I'm a good singer than not. I have a very old microphone. Now I'm done posting on this message LOL. I'm over it, and I dont think I need to pursue it any further. BUt thank you to the poeple who stood up for me and you know who you are :)
Personally I think you have a very good voice.
Troy
There is nothing wrong with the profile. It sounds the same as before. What are you people talking about?
Sure she has a good voice, and I blew the fuck out of Carston in my flitter.
Honestly,2 I don't recinize what she is singing. There was no backing tracks, and from what I have heard of her voice singing wise, she sounds like an R&B canidate. Before you judge, why not here something with backing tracks before you go saying how bad she is. I write music, have perfect pitch, and I think the way some people acted was pure mean! Anyway, I've said enough on this one. Yes, It is true you do ansewr to God in the end. Peace out all.
