This is NOT Admin Criticism!!
 
Has anyone else besides me noticed how much Admin has been welcoming the Cons back? I've seen, at least, 30 posts from Admin going out of their way to say how good it was to see certain people posting.

It's obvious Admin is glad you're posting, I know AFF Cons...the few that are here on a regular basis....are glad you're posting, so can I just say that from the left side of the aisle, we're glad you're posting.

But are they glad that we're glad? :D

But NOW...we're not just saying that to the 'Cons'. We're saying it to all of our old friends who used to post here and we haven't seen in a while. :noidea

We love them all and have missed them. :heart

And just so you know...We love our CURRENT members too! :nod

Yeah, but I'm not seeing any posts about how much ya'll are glad that we stuck with it while the cons ran!:) I think I feel slighted. I've been working my fingers to the bones, posting over 7,000 times, and what do I get? "Oh yeah, we forgot about you. Thanks for staying." It's kinda like those special deals my cell phone company keeps offering for new customers while my rates go up.

And by the way, notice I didn't say that I'm glad the Cons are back. I'm not convinced they're back because I'm not convinced they won't hit the trail again once the heat gets turned up again.

No, I think they're probably laughing at us. But hey Timmy, if I'm a theological liberal, what does that make you?

That's worth reposting. Here it is:

Thinking of the cliff analogy:

UC: Builds a concrete guard rail twenty feet away. Wonders if it should be thirty.

Con: Builds a steel guard rail ten feet away.

Mod: A sturdy wooden fence will do.

Lib: A few warning signs, here and there.

UL: Just be careful around the cliff, OK?

Timmy: What cliff???

Well, I will say one thing. When posters like rford, Coonskinner, Carpenter (who I think is 'liberal') get on board, the intelligence of the posts go way up! Somehow, these men have a way of communicating their beliefs in a dignified, mature way. We can learn from them!

And then we have Bro Epley. You are not left to wonder what he believes! lol He tells it just the way he sees it.....and no one can say he is unkind or hateful.

It feels patronizing, but sure, fine.

And what brings you suddenly back, by the way? You've been MIA most of the time I've been here and just recently, DA included in the list of Admins who never Admin. Did they give you a raise or something?

It's called a 'temporary lay off'. :thumbsup

I am an office asst to a Real Estate agent. With the market conditions, she just couldn't afford to keep me. :dunno

I am very much enjoying my time off until the market picks back up. :icecream

With that being said....he is in a class by himself! lol

I thought personal insults weren't being allowed in the new goody-two-shoes AFF. This hurts deeply, terribly. I don't think I sound needy.

I am looking forward to the "Goodbye AFF" "Delete my Account" "You are all Lost and going to Hell" Threads that inevitably follow shortly after the cons show up.

I don't think anyone is denying this may happen, however, it does not discount the pleasure of "seeing" long time friends once again.

Didn't say it did.

Just notice over the few years I have been on the forum that it seems to happen a lot with the more hard line folks fed up with us liberals.

Agreed, but I won't lose any sleep over their attitude.

Baron, it's ok to say someone's going to hell, just don't tell them they're old and cranky, right? :heeheehee

NOTE: That's NOT a criticism, just an observation.:D
