Re: Mocking the forum complaints
I know all about Dan and I didnt care for his "act". I didnt find him funny or entertaining or all that knowledgeable. He reminded me of a grumpy old man shaking his cane at the neighbor kids.Hollie wrote: ↑4 years agoThat was part of Dan's schtick.RS wrote: ↑4 years agoThat was apparently before my time.

They claim we’re family. So come on in and interact with your family. Maybe both sides could benefit. They might actually see us through different eyes and empathize. And perhaps we would finally SEE them and realize they are not any different than we are.
I think it’s a win-win idea!

Like that would happen! You can interact with them if you have FB but youd better be a bundle of positivity! Otherwise its the block button for you!RS wrote: ↑4 years agoYou know...that idea has merit!

Re: Mocking the forum complaints
Omgosh! I think you are my soul sister! All social media is bad but FB is terrible. Even this bothers me when they want to rate people. Either give them warnings if they break rules and then block the account but none of this crap where people are rated for social media presence or behavior.RS wrote: ↑4 years agoWell ya, I get it.

Re: Mocking the forum complaints
I’m finding it harder to watch the female host that started this and have heard little snide comments since during the late hours. I wish someone would train some of the hosts to stop yelling, screaming, playing price mind games and acting like we’re all idiots. I’m still not happy with how things are changing here and miss the way it used to be. We’re all human and make mistakes, but learn from them. Don’t keep repeating them, we just turn the channel and buy elsewhere.
