Category: the Rant Board
Hi. I was on a teleconference on zone by phone today. Not long after I logged on, the other users started bashing me about a board post I did Friday. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. Later, while I was in the middle of a sentence, the users went to private conferencing. Worst of all, it was all the users except me, and they didn’t even say bye! I know it’s my fault, anhd I’m not going to mension any names, but I felt like this was something to rant about.
Hi,
I know how it can be, frustrating, to have people do something like that to you, and I don't really have anything to say, but I know sometimes it can make you feel good to know that someone did take the time to read your post and tell you that they would be there if you needed to talk.
The one thing that you can tell yourself, that might be a bit comforting, is that at least you're not the one who left, and they were the ones who weren't mature enough to tell you to your face why they didn't want to stay in a conference with you. Just know that you don't have to sink to their level, and you know what? Being nice to the people who are mean to you, is the best way to annoy them!
So the next time you see them on conference, or see them on the zone, say something nice, try to be friendly, because being nice is better than being mean. Being negative takes way too much energy!

I poasted to another topic and referred to those people who like to make others feel left out by private conferencing as acting like high schoolers. I'd like to revise that to say they are acting like grade school kids if they treated you that way. I don't know you, but I think those people could have at the very least said goodbye to you.
i would like to point out that assuming , does and is, making an ass out of you. If you would have checked into it, the conference crashed and all were kicked and those that didn't hang up when it came back, were still in the room. They did then go to private conference, I do admit, but didn't just leave you and sign out like you claim!
Becky, i usually agree with your view on things. This time I sure don't! Do you use zone by phone very often? Do you realize that the private conference holds more people than the regular rooms? So when it is full that's mostly the time when everyone goes to private conference, so more can fit in! So before you go calling us grade schoolers or whatever the heck you said, look into the many different issues that could cause this to happen! Raises hand,
Teacher, Can I go to recess now please?

Rofl! Shea beat me to it, so I second everything she said.
Ok, as another person there at the conference you refer too. people didn't bash you for quite a while, we tried to establish if what you'd written was true, and if so why. in the end we tried to shock you into realising it is nasty to live without bathing frequently, and cleaning your teeth, but all you did was laugh about it, as though it's a big joke for you. sadly it's a bit strange dealing with people who behave like that, and in the end sure we decided we needed to walk away, but we didn't just leave, several of us got dropped, and chris reset the system. then as was previously pointed out, there were more peopole wishing to join us than there was room for, so we went private. and yes, some of those, maybe all of us decided we didn't wish to have you join us.
Please understand that your way of life, in terms of hygene is rather distasteful for the most of us, and so isn't so easy for us to accept.
Hi all,
Thanks for the good ideas about when people are mean to you. Also, black bird, I'm very sorry for jumping to conclusions about the conference. Yes, I forgot that happens sometimes, and I believe that friends shouldn't blame friends for something they didn't do, and I'm very sorry for my immediate accusation.

Well, I went on zone by phone this weekend. On one conference I went to, they were talking and having a good time. All of a sudden, they started talking about showers, brushing your teeth, and that stuff. I hate being off topic here, but one user said why are you talking about that. Is it because download87 is here. I felt that was unnecisary and disrespectful. Why ar people treating me this way on conferences. Come on! I come to have a good time. I don't want to mention any names, but that's quite rude!
