No harm, no foul in Site Updates

I'm afraid my last entry on here may have hurt someone's feelings. I dealt with the situation somewhat passive aggressively when being direct would have been a lot easier. It's easy to rush to judgement when you don't know all the facts.

So anyway, I just wanted to say that everything is fine. No harm was done. And I'm sorry for not handling it a bit more gracefully. There are still kinks to work out on the site, and when everything has matured and is running smoothly, things like that won't even be issues. Growing pains and all that.

Prosebox won't be getting my usual level of attention for most of the rest of this month. I will be enjoying ocean views in the Pacific Northwest next week and plan on mostly avoiding electronic devices. Good coffee, a good book, mild temperatures... grandparents to watch the Little Man... it's a relaxing recipe.

In the meantime, I will take the advice of one Proseboxer and let the community govern itself a bit. If you happen to notice an issue on the site that may cause annoyance to others, please don't be afraid to politely tell someone in a private note that they are doing something that may bother others. That user is probably not trying to offend anyone and will most likely stop if asked nicely.

And remember:

Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes.

Party on and enjoy your gadget-free time. PB will be fine. I'll give everyone cookies and we'll catch up on our trailer porn.

Cookies and trailer porn is always a good time.

What good book do you plan on reading?? A good book can make the world disappear

simple mind ThisIsME ⋅ August 20, 2013

I've been meaning to finish up Silverthorn, the last book in the Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist. I've been in my sci-fi/fantasy phase. :)

Beautifully said.
It's something we could all learn to do. Thanks for setting a most excellent example of humility.
That's why this site is going to work...
And with that said, enjoy your time off! I promise, after the first two days of withdrawal, you'll come to appreciate living life a little more!

Jigger August 21, 2013

"Party on dudes" is a whole other thing than "Party on, dudes." Hahaha. Whee.

simple mind Jigger ⋅ August 21, 2013

Yeah, I suppose that's an important distinction. :-D

Deleted user August 21, 2013

Most excellent!

Enjoy your time away. Always well deserved!

delete please August 30, 2013

I was wondering about multiple posts.... sometimes I have a tendency to do this or I see others filling up the front page is there a way to only show a member's most recent post? I am not sure if this is a good idea because then people may not read the other posts by the member unless the have them bookmarked or click the member's last entry they posted

LotusButterfly August 23, 2017

I love this. You go do you, Simple Mind!

simple mind LotusButterfly ⋅ August 23, 2017

Heh, I don't even remember this entry. Though I do always enjoy my visits to the PNW. :)
