Geez there seems to be a lot of anger and hostility up and down the block around here, esp at this mycroft guy, cant ya just stick wth the old success stories of lawsuits, and non PP pulls, it was more entertaining to read. And now that with the help of you guys on this board (and i cant thank you enough), my credit is perfect. I have nothing to do but read about your adventures since mine has come to an end. Now i have nothing to do at this cushy job all day, when my credit sucked, at least it felt like i had sumthin to do every day tracking progress and sending harassing faxes etc. etc. I think now that my credit is good i will learn to count cards, !!!! All this anger is nothing an Easter Ham cannot make right.
I can only speak for myself. One of the great things about Cnet, is that people (like you and I), can come here and get help with credit problems. We were comfortable laying all our dirty laundry out on the table for a lot of reasons. 1. We were made to feel welcome 2. You can't truly get help, if you hold back information 3. You were not lectured, judged, or anything of the like for your past mistakes. It was always assumed if you were here, it was because you wanted to make up for past mistakes, and go forward in a knowledgable manner. Over the past couple of weeks, a couple of posters have appeared that feel the need to lecture, judge, question the morality of credit repair, etc., and even go so far as to question upbringing. Although, as CCN Steve said, they have not violated the TOS, they are in my opinion, and many others, violating the unwritten rules of the community, and the spirit of this community as it has developed over time. This is not unlike someone moving into a well manicured community, and letting their house become an eyesore. They are not violating any laws, but they are not participating in the spirit of that particular community. Legally, you can't do anything about it, but the community is offended, and they will voice their thoughts. The eyesore will be minimized, be it with fences, in my example, cyber fences here. It is human nature. Now consider this, the eyesore, who you have had to tolerate, needs to fix up their eyesore for a profitable gain. ie money in their pocket. They ask for your help using your knowledge of how you have maintained your home in prime condition. You gain no benefit from it, you've suffered with their view, why wouldn't you be somewhat hostile, and not want to help? That being said, many people are being scared away. They don't want to be lectured, or beat over the head, probably because they have done this to themselves for quite some time before getting the courage to ask for help. They are splintering the community. Many of us continue to help whomever we can, and the old no PP, Gulf States screwed me, How can I lower my rate, etc. questions are still being answered. I have only been here a few months, But have seen similar happen before. Things always get back to normal. I'm having pineapples and brown sugar on my ham...what about you?
The ignore button is nice but it does not help the newbies who come for help. As for the post, I think that was beautifully written and is the point I have been trying to make all along- although I have a rather more brutal way of saying it. Very well done jlynn.
Re: Re: Anger and Hostility Thanks, jlynn, I believe I'll hang around ! Just please don't confuse me with anybody else !
