Apology

bwalkerletters wrote: I just wanted to apologize to whoever thinks I'm posting "flirty" comments. The only comment I can think of to what might offended someone would have been when everyone was talking about picking their nose, and I said that was sexy. If that's flirty, then I'm sorry. It was just to be funny............anyways, if you have a problem with me, feel free to message and we can take care of it the adult way. Telling on each other is pretty childish, and high schoolish.

But again, sorry for being "flirty".........

Shame on you! lol Picking noses is totally hot. lol Just kidding, it's actually kind of gross. I hate when my DH passes gas too. However, you can't imagine how much I wish I could smell one of his farts right now. lol

kit_kats_mom replied: I must have missed something but apology accepted. LOL

I personally have no problem with good natured, friendly flirting. It's fun! Now if you were IM'ing me nekkid pics or flat out harassing me, that would be different.

bwalkerletters replied:

I'm sure your DH won't let you down when he gets home! haha

My2Beauties replied: I found it quite funny! I mean I think booger picking is quite sexy! J/K no apology accepted, but I felt no need for apologiesin this case, IMHO!

PascosGirl replied:
Oh I am sure he won't. He is nasty like that. ha ha ha

CCTandME replied: Must be I missed something with how busy I have been. Does sound like somebody (not you) was being immature. Owell!!

My2Beauties replied:
My sentiments exactly!

moped replied: Go figure, the one night my interent is down and I miss out on something!!!!!

Well I first of all would like to say that I am sorry there were some issues that you felt you had to post this........I think that it is so nice to have a man's perspective on here and I think a lot of people agree with me. You are a chatty guy, active on the board and a little innocent flirting is all in fun - we all tease each other, men or women back and forth. I am sorry that someone got offended by your sense of humor...........can't please everyone right?

We love having you here, apology accepted and don't worry, I think I am with the majority that like having you and your girls on the board to share experiences with.

Anyone have anything to add?

DansMom replied: I've certainly admired TavenMommy's hubby openly a couple of times! I think it's harmless fun as long as it doesn't become a long back-and-forth conversation that excludes others from a general topic thread (or distracts from the original post). There was one thread in particular that got so out of hand with admiring comments among a small group of people that I decided not to post at all. You had to wade through all this back and forth flirtation just to get to the next new post. I like having guys around here as well! I'm glad you're here.

JessC replied:

Well said Jen.
I must have missed something but I went back..
It is nice to have a mans perspective and I am sure alot of us find it very helpful.
Their is nothing wrong with supposebly flirting, I am SURE everyone on this board does some in their lifetime.

Im glad you are here.

Very highschool-ish indeed.

jcc64 replied: No offense taken here either. (actually, it takes ALOT to horrify me )

Mommy2BAK replied: I'll have you know that there are quite a few people on here getting sick and tired of the dating service it seems like you are leading. I honestly have no problem with it if you keep on the D-L, but sometimes you do take it too far. Sorry, just my opinion.

bwalkerletters replied: OK, Mommy, what comments have I made that have offended you?? I'll make sure not to repeat them. I'm actually a very nice guy and easy to get along with, but you make it sound like the opposite. I really would like to know what comments have offended you?????

ITA! Nothing wrong with lighthearted flirting:) For some it may be the only compliment they get and it might just make their day!

kimberley replied: ok, before this gets out of hand, i think some clarification should be made...

paying a compliment or saying something in jest is perfectly fine and fun-spirited, but the concern comes when when a public post (such as: show us recent pics of yourself) turns into a very flirty conversation for 2. it makes people uncomfortable to join in the topic and since we are all adults here, i am sure we can see how it is somewhat inappropriate for a parenting board. especially considering most of the members here are married or in a commited relationship. we all have access to the PM (private message) feature and may want to use that for more personal messages so as to not alienate anyone.

i am sorry you are upset by this Jason. i am sure no one was trying to imply you are a bad guy at all. i think i speak for most of us on the board when i say that we enjoy having the male perspective here and hope you continue to post as usual

moped replied: This does seem to be getting out of hand, but in Jason's defense, that post about posting pictures was NOT Jason making comments at all..............so anyways, why don't we all just apologize and get on with our happy lives.

bwalkerletters replied: I'm not upset Kimberley, and thanks for posting a nice post regarding the situation. I don't think I asked for everyone's pics......but I did participate just like everyone else in posting mine. Yes, there were compliments made by me, and yes, there were compliments made to me. I didn't take it any farther, except by saying thank you to the ones who made compliments to me. That's good behavior in my opinion. Don't worry, I will keep posting and stay involved on the board, because just like some of you LIKE hearing the male perspective, I like hearing a woman's perspective on things, since I am a single father. That's why I joined the board, and will CONTINUE to participate on it.

Mommy2BAK replied:
Obviously you are a grown man, so I shouldn't have to explain these things to you. The only way I know that there are complaints are b/c I am a Mod and there have been complaints made to me!

And if you would have read my post clearely I stated that I have no problem with it as long as you keep it on the D-L. Meaning don't get to crazy about it, just PM hannasmom if you want to tell her you thing she is "sooo sexy"

FYI~ to aplogize for something maturely is one thing, but to be a smart ellic about it is not a sincere apology.

bwalkerletters replied: Well, I don't think that I have made any rude comments to anyone, so yeah, I would like to know what comments are being taken incorrectly. So far, there are no comments that anyone can come up with. All I've heard is that I'm being flirty...........so if flirty to you is complimenting someone or complimenting their children, then yes, I guess I am flirty. Like I said, I'm a good natured person, but apparently you don't like being associated with people with a good heart, loves to laugh, and ENJOYS interracting with others in a POSITIVE way.

I've discussed the situation with OTHER mods, and everything is taken care of. Smart ellic.............Nothing smart ellicy about wanting to know what was taken out of context, or offensively.

bwalkerletters replied: I didn't say hannasmom was sooooo sexy.........everyone was talking about picking their noses and I said that's soooooo sexy. Must be ok for women to compliment on here and not men.......don't worry, you won't be receiving any more compliments from me, only the people who really appreciate them.

kimberley replied: well, i think enough has been said on this issue and i am closing the topic.
