MY LAST POST-BYE - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JO jr · 12-16-2006, 04:26 AM

HEY GUYS

THIS IS SO HARD FOR ME TO WRITE, AND AS I AM DOING SO, MY EAYS ARE FILLED WITH TEARS SO MUCH I CANNOTEVEN SEE THE LETTERS ON MY KEYBOARD.

JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE IMMENSELY ENJOYED MY TIME WITH ALL OF YOU, BUT THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST

THERE HAS BEEN YET ANOTHER COMPLAINT AGAINST ME TO A MODERATOR ABOUT MY TYPING IN ALL CAPS. IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS WILL I ALLOW A-N-Y-O-N-E TO DICTATE TO ME ON HOW I CAN OR CANNOT TYPE!!!!

THEREFORE, AS JO WOULD STICK TO HER PRINCIPLE'S NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURT, SO MUST I.

SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK I'M MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT, BUT I THINK IT IS THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE, AND THEREFORE IT IS NO LITTLE DEAL TO ME.

KNOW, HOWEVER, I WILL BE WATCHING AND KEEPING TABS ON THIS WONDERFUL FACTS FORUM, AS WELL AS YOU TOO. WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT I'D GROW SO FOND OF SOME OF YOU PEOPLE. NOT ME. BUT THEN AGAIN, WE ALL HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON-OUR LOVE FOR FACTS.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTINUE THE VIDEO THREAD, SO OTHERS MIGHT BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT?

ALSO, SORRY KELL! I WAS SO MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING THAT FACTS FANFIC WITH YOU

COURSE, THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE P.M.'ED ME IN THE PAST, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTINUE TO DO SO.

THANKU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME BE PART OF YOUR ON-LINE FACTS FAMILY. I KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN ON HERE A LOT LONGER THAN ME. YET, NO MATTER WHAT, MY YEAR OR SO ON HERE HAS BEEN A BLAST!!

I WILL MISS YOU ALL. WELL, MOST OF YOU ANYWAY

BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER AND KEEP FACTS ALIVE AND WELL

OMG!!! JO jr. please send me a PM!!! This is absolutely ridiculous, who complained?? You explained your need to use caps, and if people have a problem with it then they should just skip your posts, not report you!! Oh please PM me please!!

robyrob · 12-16-2006, 11:05 AM

I don't think that anyone wants you to go, but WHY do you need to type in ALL CAPS?

it is pretty much universally accepted online that it is bad netiquette; it is extremely difficult to read "tone" in a message board post, and the use of ALL CAPS is usually perceived as SHOUTING and rude in general.

while it is technically NOT against the Sitcoms Online Rules, there is a mention of it in there, where it specifically states:

We do ask that, if possible, you refrain from typing in all-capital letters - many consider this a form of shouting, which is considered a rude behavior. Moderators have the right to edit posts containing all-capital letters at their discretion.

Most online messageboards and forums would simply delete any posts made in ALL CAPS. I am sorry, but I have not seen your explanation of why you need to type in ALL CAPS - it might be easier to understand if you explained it again here.

Mr. Television · 12-16-2006, 11:18 AM

You should make a thread on Chit Chat explaining why you need to type in all caps. A lot of people don't visit the FOL Board . I don't think anybody wants you to leave.

Scoobiedoo30 · 12-16-2006, 11:34 AM

You will be missed

Jonathan · 12-16-2006, 03:26 PM

You should tell this on Chit Chat.

Scoobiedoo30 · 12-16-2006, 03:29 PM

We dont want you to leave Sitcoms Online.

Why would she? She barely talks there, all of her friends are here.

Jo, PM me as soon as you read these replies. We will talk about this and I will do anything I have to.

JoPol_wannabe · 12-16-2006, 04:50 PM

No you can't leave you have to stay and keep updating your FOL video thread. I really enjoy them and you posted a bunch of videos I never even thought were on the Internet. That thread was one of my favs i would always look forward when you would have something new added. But if you do still go I hope someone does take over that maybe one of your frineds could take over that post and you could email videos to that person so they can keep updating. It's just a thought. But I am sorry you have to leave and that people made you mad about typing in all caps. Its your choice how you want to type if that is all they have to worry about then they need to get a hobbie. Jo jr, you will be missed.

Exactly! See how many people would miss you? Is there anything we can do to change your mind?

Jo Fan · 12-16-2006, 05:08 PM

This isn't right, it's not fair, who would really care if you wrote in all caps, i didn't care. Even though i don't really know you I will miss you, alot of people will miss you, i love your video thread, i'd check every week to see if something new would be on.

We Will All Miss You!!!

I agree. Jo Jr., I don't think you should let whoever complained ruin a good thing for you. If you enjoy coming here, then keep coming here! Don't let them chase you away!

Nighthawk76 · 12-16-2006, 07:10 PM

Hey Jodi, please don't leave.

A.D.A. Casey Novak · 12-16-2006, 10:29 PM

OK, here's my take on all this. Why are we all here? What is the reason? It is because we all like the show. I honestly cannot fathom why someone would care if someone else was using capital letters. I come to this board because I like the board and I like the show. But I also have a life and would never dream of letting something so minor bother me. My God, what difference does it make? We're all here because we love the show. I really don't want to offend anyone, but if people get all that worked up about something so minor, perhaps they should leave The Facts of Life board and create a new one for themselves entitled "GET a Life". Just my humble opinion.
