Advice on Sales!!

Thanks be not concerned- I have no clue what the votes mean any way- it does not seem to affect how high up the page or not things fall In any case- the important thing is it is another way to showcase our efforts. Have you posted to SL Profiles? http://www.slprofiles.com/index.asp There is the birth place of Cheap Peeps there, brain-child of Chamois Cham, several from here post there also. And don't forget SlUniverse does have a classified section. Good luck.

get over yourself

I did not like the tone of the post and said so, sue me

ok so you said a couple nice things to me, however I do not know you, and did not know what intent your post was meant as, so I said it how I saw it

if that pissed you off and riled you, sorry, but that is life

as I said I am done pussy footing around.

I never asked you or anyone to vote on my stuff, however I have seen you make comments asking for people (general people) to hop over and vote, add that to the comment above and what should one think?

and it was not an attempt to "cut your efforts to ribbons with thinly veiled contempt in the guise of bluntness"

If I have something to say I will say it, and I had something to say, and I said it... simple enough in my book

A smart person once said to me. "When the same thing keeps happening over and over with different peope then it is time to look at ourselves, rather than thinking everyone else hasthe problem."


Rha sometimes your comments are well I dont know, but you know every arguement on this thread has involved you. Every nasty interaction has involved you. Maybe you should step back and look at the way you word things.

If you didnt agree with Ama's playful comment then ignoring it would have been best, rather than writing in such a way that it to me felt like you saw Ama as a cheat.

Ama although I cant say your clothes generally appeal to my style I can see they have been created with a huge attention to detail. My browser refuses to open up that page but if it every does i am sure whatever new creation you have would warrant my vote.

yes that saying is true and yes I know sometimes I say things that come out wrong

however why is it wrong when I reply to something that I felt was wrong, but it is ok for other to point out my wrongs

I am sick and tired of specific people (and I do not mean me) being pinpointed on these forums, while others go along their happy way doing whatever the hell they please

getting sick and facing death woke me up to a lot of things and one of them was my fear of pissing ppl off on these forums

well guess what, I am not afraid anymore

If I see something that doesn't sit right with me I will say something IF that something is directed at me

in this case with amar it was and it did so I said something

(if she had not made the comment about voting for me, and in my opinion expecting a vote back, I would have not said anything, however it was the way it was worded that I felt like she was saying "look I voted for you, now you have to do the same"

THAT did not sit well with me, especially when I have seen her asking previously to the general public for folks to go vote

amar I am sorry if my posts hurt, or make you feel bad, but I just saw it how I did and felt you should know

god only knows how many folks feel the same way but say nothing, because as soon as someone says something, everyone has to defend the person it is being said against, and no one wants the headaches or the turmoil

I am trying to explain something that apparently is difficult to explain.... or difficult to understand.. not sure which...

*shrug*

for the record, I have nothing against Amar, and I have nothing against her work, my comment had nothing to do with her product, it was the comment about "I voted for you, now you got to do the same" that bugged me

IF I had felt the way you did I likely would have either just ignored it and not voted or said soemthing privately. By putting it here you made it clear you thought Ama wated the gme the site for her own benefit.

I would not have said anything (publically or otherwise) about the fact that you always seem to be in the middle of this stuff but for the fact you made this public and continue to make things like this public.

Rha I think you are a decent person, I think however you do not think before youwrite. Youdont process how yourcomments could affect another person.

As for the idea of this pack mentality. Ill be honest I dont ee it existing (though I am sure you think I am part of it becuase I am posting this ). The reason peopel get pulled up for their comment time and time again is because they word it in a way which will push peoples buttons either deliberately (like in the case of Phil, to be honest I think he enjoys it Sorry Phil if thats not the case ) or without thinking, like I think it is in the caese of you Rha.

I dont agree with one person constantly attacking another and yes we have all seen that in here. But that isnt what we are talking about. When someone rubs peopel the wrongway, different peopel with no connection to each other, over and over you have to start to wonder why.

I dont know, maybe Rha it mgiht be good for you (and i write thisto you becuase I knwo it upsets you when youupset others) that everytime you find a post which rubs you the wrong way for whatever reason like Ama's did. Write down your thoughts about it, save it to your computer and come back and read it 1/2 hour later. I have done this in the past when I know I have been in a space in my ehad which is not good for replying to things which evoke an emotional response in me.

Anyway just my two cents.

I can understand both Amar and Rha. This thread is about helping each other, so it would almost be natural for Amar to assume reciprocation, since it costs nothing. On the other hand, I wouldn't like someone saying that they've done something beneficial for me, with the assumption that I'll reciprocate, because I may not want to, and it I would feel that I've been put on the spot. I wouldn't want to say no to the person, but I also wouldn't want to do it, so I'd be a bit stuck.

Actually, it's not the case. I enjoy a good debate, but that's not the same thing. If you want to spend a bit of time examining where it's happened, you'll find that I respond to people who appear to enjoy pushing my buttons, and not the other way round.

Well then I apologise Phil. Personally I like your style and I did wonder if you said things at times to get people's attention. I tend not to get too far into those types of threads becuase to be honest they get a bit too nasty for me. I dont handle that stuff well. Please dont take offense as I did not mean it a a bad thing. My partner does ti too at times, in a playful way, she will say soemthing she knkows will rile me up a little cos she thinks it is cute

I haven't taken any offense at all. I didn't see it as anything negative in the slightest - I promise

It's easy for people to think that I do it, especially when you get people stating that I throw more insults than anyone else here. It's true, but only because I throw back at anyone who throws first, and there are more of them than there are of me

The recent bots threads have been quite quiet - not because I haven't been in them, but because certain other people haven't been in them, and it's left the discussions to carry on peacefully and academically. I think I've worn them out

Guys, it's no biggie, honest - I suppose it did sound like tit for tat- I assumed those that know me would know I don't play such childish games. Figured you guys have been reading me long enough to have learned that about me- guess I was wrong.

So- np- let's do move on - plenty of good stuff here with out singling anyone of us out. Let's just call it a learning experience and carry on.

Phil, to be clear, other than in agreed upon business dealings- I do not assume reciprocation. In SL we have no binding contractual agreements, therefore it behooves us to police ourselves. I have learned, much to my chagrin, this cannot always be depended upon- so no- I have taught my self not to assume and sadly, hardly ever to expect.

Phew im glad that is over.....i was about to get out the hose...giggling.

exactly how I felt, and I put it public so that she would know without a doubt that it made me uncomfortable and that maybe, just maybe others might feel put on the spot too

so I would say I am not the only one who should stop and think before I type anything out

what about amar stopping and thinking how it would look if she did something like that and how it would make the other party feel.... ever think of that side of it?

just because I spoke out and in a negative light, doesn't make what she did any more right than what I did

she could have as easily come to me in pm and said hey I voted for your stuff over there, have a look at mine and vote for me if you want to.

but she did not, she posted it here, publicly, so if I did not vote I look like a bitch with a chip that for some reason doesn't want to play nice....

bad spot to put me in when I already appear to have a chip...

For goodness sake people, we are adults , well we are supposed to be. There are people who have real problems in the world. What is the squabbling about, some words?? Yes words hurt, but you have to also remember that words can be taken many ways and most of the time the wrong way. This is a friendly helpful thread, well it used to be. How many people have been scared off because of the all the fighting. We are all strong capable people who should be able to take control of our emotions and think before we speak.

I have been watching this unfold from that very first comment, which i thought was said in jest, and to be honest would be something i would say, but, not expect someone to do.

Just let it go peoples, move on and be the wonderful people you are. Its nearly christmas so come on down to my shop and buy everything!!!! joking. Seriously if you want to get it all out, come on down to our land, grab some good old sl weapons and shoot each other. Thats what i do, it gives me a giggle and lots of fun. Get the frustrations out

/me skips off merrily sing jingle bells and going to clean her new pretty guns

yes there are people with real problems in the world, and I am willing to bet a lot of them are sharing their time with us on these forums.

however that doesn't mean we should just sit here if something rubs us the wrong way.... or does it???

what is wrong with saying how one sees something... what is wrong with the boat being rocked a little bit?

I am sorry...

I am done, you won't hear any more from me

I know the meds are messing with my head, and I should not have said anything, but... I just did not feel right not saying anything as I felt I was put on the spot...
I did not take the comment in jest (then again I do not know the poster well enough to know if they are joking or not)

consider it done, over, water under the bridge, and I am sorry if I upset anyone... (even though I was upset... that seems ok though)

*sigh* yes I am miffed... *shrug* life (hopefully) goes on....

This has been the ongoing problem. You use your rl problems as an excuse to be rude and obnoxious every chance you get.

and here comes another to make a dig....

why?

why do you guys feel you need to do this?

I am not using my RL problems to be rude

I do not even see WHERE I was rude...
I never asked anyone to do anything for me, I never made a comment that put someone on the spot, I only said I did not like the comment and being put on the spot...

ok who else wants to kick me while I am down???

do you feel better now?

I am out, good night all

sorry if I upset anyone, but I am tired of sitting on my hands

I hope you enjoyed the show...

Edited:

Had entered some info re: a contest I have going involving a titler- but need to update the rules and re-send out info to my group to prevent miscommunications.

I will get back to u guys with updates later-

Will someone please explain to me how to vote? I have looked and looked and apparently I am missing something right in front of my face

Amar, love the new outfit on there today

I don't know what good votes do, or if they mean anything, but if I like something I want to be able to vote and apparently I'm not seeing something

You just click on the box with a number on it. There is crappy drug spam there too- so not sure how reputable the site is! Those I voted to bury - real stuff I don't like I just ignore and don't vote for or against since my tastes may not necessarily align with others. No- can't see as votes mean much other than to those that look at them and say oh- look- ten people liked these jeans but only four liked these...
And thanks re outfit it was tons of fun doing!

Lol if it was a snake it would have bitten me

Wishing everyone in the States a wonderful Thanksgiving

One of the things I'm thankful for is this thread!

Does anyone know if there is a script for a group inviter that notifies the owner each time someone joins the group? Right now my shop group is tiny so I just check daily, but once a group gets large, it would be very time consuming to find new members.

Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Come to one of jojo Bailey's popular marketing classes. Tonight's class will focus on the concept of using low to no cost marketing efforts inside SL. We will not be discussing theory, but will focus on what works and what does not to drive traffic and interest to your store or sim. Learn from an experienced SL business owner who makes RL money from SL. This free class is offered to help those who want to have a business in SL succeed. Meet at the couches by the main entrance.

Just wanted to share this here since so many people have asked me when my next classes would be. I will hold one tonight and next Tues as well.
