Good evening.
When I joined the SKMB I came in with a huge gripe.
(I was disappointed with the ending of Under the Dome.)
I was met with "Welcome" and queries. Why did I dislike the ending? What were my ideas/thoughts how it should have ended?
In addition, I had personal Welcome to the Board messages on my Profile Page and was encouraged to keep posting. And I did keep posting.
I would like to think that I am accepted and yes, even liked on this board. (Cut me some slack on that last thing. Ha!)
If I had been slammed and had my azz kicked about I would not have stayed here. (I'm sure there are some members that wish I would have gone away never to return. Ha, ha!)
There are posts that seem to suggest the Newbies, who only post one time griping and leave, are *trolls* or *flamers*. That might be so. But, what if they only posted one time and left because they were slammed and had their head kicked in because they posted a negative opinion?
What if...just what if...they were welcomed and asked to explain their position/gripe? Asked what other SK novels they have read and how they enjoyed them?
What if they were welcomed and accepted, negative post(s) and all to our community? Might they not become a part of the SKMB community? Maybe hang around and get to see what we are all about?
Just one goofy thought.
May all have a good night and a great week.
Peace.
