Does anyone else ever feel....

Wouldn't it be funny if no one responded to this?  []

Well, its kinda why I decided to finally say something.  Its been on my mind for a while, and I decided to just express it.  And ya wouldnt that be great.... I guess Id have my answer.  
 
 

Unsure what input you are wanting. I went and peeked thru your recent posts and there aren't that many...how far back are we going here? Ashland responded to your co worker post, you put in on the pic post...so did a lot of others....
 
How long has this feeling been hanging around? Anything else going on in your life that you might be able to tie this to? I really don't see a whole lot just in your last few posts this month...
 
I'd love to help you stop feeling the way you do, but I don't really know how? [&:]

Before I posted my smarta$$ comment, I looked at some of your recent posts.  I don't think you're being ignored.  Frankly, I think it is just you.

I feel the same way sometimes...that's why I don't post that often. I just like reading the posts...I'm not a very talkative/opinionated person anyways.

I really don't think anybody would just try to ignore you on purpose.....[]
 
Boy, Billy........you must learn to be more" sensitive"( Remember when Major Payne said that in the movie "Major Payne?)

i've seen your posts and i THINK i've replied to you, but cant really remember, sorry.

but honestly i do know how you feel. lol i was thinking the same thing about myself the other day, but for a different reason. i'm a pest sometimes so i figure that i am bound to be ignored. mostly i just try to pick and choose where i think i'll have the most effect in a topic. if i see that others have already said something i wanted to say i just leave it alone unless i can think of something no one else thought of, or if i see a problem with advice that has been given.... or mostly i'm just opinionated []

however, if you do decide to leave, i know of another dog forum that is dying for some fresh meat... i mean members!! [8|]

i'm also thinking of making my own dog forum, which is nothing personal, but i want something specific to workers, not exactly breed specific, but for owners who have dogs that have jobs. those are the kinda people i want to really learn from, but i have yet to find a forum like that... so i may as well make my own.

Billy, you jerk, [sm=lol.gif][sm=crazy.gif]

I gotta say that I think many of us have felt that way.. hell I feel that way plenty of times.. Especially depending on what areas I visit. There have been so many times Amy,  where I have outright asked questions of folks and no one has ever responded.
 
I think a lot of times folks don't read every post.. they read the first couple, decide what they want to say, post it and move on... 
 
I really wouldn#%92t take it personal at all. It is obvious from some of your posts that many people really care about you. I wouldn#%92t let it get you down and I certainly wouldn#%92t consider leaving the forum because of it. Besides, whatever would we do without the fantastic pooch piccies you share! []

One thing is that we've had a lot of weddings, and babies, and some SO drama, around here...and perhaps this has something to do with it? Sometimes this area at least...tend to focus on things that are happening and we follow it like a soap opera lol. I think many folks here, were very supportive when you were having some trouble not long ago...so I think that we do care.

Believe it or not, I have been told that before.  []  Why, just the other day, Shelly told me to stay way the hell away from a thread that I felt I had a lot to contribute to.  [X(]

Amy - Yes, I feel that way sometimes. If I post something, especially if I took time to really write out something in response to someone's thread, and nobody responds/comments, I do sometimes feel like it was overlooked, not read, or ignored. I don't let it bother me though because I know that someone probably read it, even if it wasn't the OP, and I honestly don't feel like someone is intentionally ignoring me if they don't respond or comment on my post. You never know who is reading it too. There are lurkers. I know that I will read an entire thread and want to respond or comment on multiple peoples posts, but by the time I'm finished reading, it's too much of a hassle to do that. Or sometimes I just read a response or comment and I don't feel the need to post back (whether I began the thread or not), even though I may have really enjoyed or appreciated what that person had to say.  And yes, there are times when I want to post, but there are a few people that I won't post directly too anymore because it doesn't ever seem that they read my posts. I've pm'd people before and that's when I really feel ignored because about the half the time that I pm someone, they don't respond back.

Of course people will feel ignored sometimes - a lot of times they are being at least partially ignored. Such is the way of the mutli-person online discussion.

For example, someone posts, "My labradoodle started chewing on my shoes. I employed CM's techniques, and it only got worse. My vet said my dog is fine. What should I do?"

Person A responds: "Everything CM has said, ever, is wrong."

Person B responds: "Everything CM has said, ever, is right!"

Person C responds: "Have your dog checked by a vet."

Person D responds: "If you're irresponsible enough to have your shoes lying around for your dog to chew on, you shouldn't have a dog."

Person E responds: "OMG designer dogs!!!!!!!!"

C'mon, guys, you know you've seen this too! []

I've seen tons of threads where posters assume they know what's going on, but don't actually carefully read the original post (or followups) and 10 pages of replies later the main question is still unanswered.

This isn't because people are mean or stupid or purposely trying to piss people off. A message board is just a place for people to express themselves, all the advice is given free of charge, and if people want to go off on tangents and express things not really related to other people's posts, well, they do have a right to do that (up to a point).

So don't take it personally. It's just kind of how things go. If you feel ignored or unanswered, just restate your original idea and perhaps people will notice it more. Don't feel like it's just you - (I think) we all feel ignored sometimes, and we're all guilty of ignoring things sometimes, too. []

I'm newer here so I can't say that we have ever had the pleasure of knowing each other but...I can tell you that this happens on every board...I'm on a cake board and people there get their feelers hurt when people post more on 1 cake than another and whatnot....I think it's just normal

sweetie you RARELY have a lot to contribute to ANY thread[]... but this thread isn't about you right now.. it is about Amy.. can't you come up with something nice to say to her? []
 
Gina- that is exactly the thread I was talking about.. during tough times. I was actually in Hawaii around the time that most of the stuff happened with you Amy but I remember specifically thinking "WOW.. that is so amazing that folks are offering so much support and advice... hell I wonder if I would get a fraction of that if it was me..I am not NEARLY as cute and sweet as she is"  I KID YOU NOT .. those were my thoughts![]
