And my mom really does exist... Thanks for making me feel welcome to your wonderful group.. Your sarcasm says a lot about your maturity. This is a very warm, caring, NON-flaming group, and you'd do well to start over, with an apology for the tirade, and an earnest discussion of your problems or whatever went on. I didn't get any of the messages till your tirade. I'm sure you're NOT exactly making your mom proud of you with this behaviour.

I know what it's like to be working and going to shool at the same time.
Overwhelming. So much so that I don't really have time to *read* all these posts, much less write them. From what I have read it seems like there is some communication barrier here. I hate to be the first to throw out the t-word, but it could be. Back to quilting: I just found a black (who knew it would be so difficult?) that is of the right scale and nature to compliment my sister's lap quilt-to-be. Everything else is a mid-size floraly print so I couldn't really use plain black! Now I've had enough time shopping that I'm not sure I want to complete the blocks I'd planned, this month's quilt in my year-of-quilting calendar looks really appetizing! Erica is graduating from the University of Colorado GO BUFFS! next May so knowing my speed I've got to get a move-on now! She loves yellow so using the school colors (yellow and black) was a no-brainer. I'm not as big a fan of it, and I didn't want the quilt to be too garish to use, so I found a lovely print that uses red, orange, yellow and black in an asian looking crysthanthemum. It's hard to describe, but very classy. All I need is the right block and this quilt will be almost as incredible as the intended recipient. Putting my thinking cap on, and soliciting ideas (I can post a picture of the fabric) -Charlotte |

NAME: rec.crafts.textiles.quilting
REPLACES: rec.crafts.quilting CHARTER: [unchanged] This newsgroup is for discussing anything related to quilting. That includes piecing, applique, and tyeing and quilting by hand or machine. Discussions may cover techniques, supplies,equipment, drafting of patterns, templates, dyeing materials, artistic approaches, exhibitions, shows, books and other references, mail order resources, dating quilts and appraising quilts. Discussions may include quilts and quilting both past (historical quilting) and present, ethnic quilting, quilts to be used in a home, quilted clothing to be worn, as well as quilts created for display and any other piecing or quilting applications. People do get there feelings hurt if someone slam's someone else for not going along with the rules. and even worse when the New users don't know what the rules are until someone brakes one. posted on 10/21/02, by Christina Selling and Buying in RCTQ It's an agreed-upon ground rule of R.C.T.Q. that we don't sell things to (or buy them from) one another through the medium of the newsgroup. The newsgroups rec.crafts.marketplace and rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace are set up for these For Sale announcements. However, many of the newbies here (and some of the oldbies) may not know about the Quilting Traders Newsletter. This is available only online. To be added to the mailing list, send an e-mail message to . Dawn very generously compiles buy/sell/trade 'ads' and sends them out to QTN subscribers. (She said I could tell you all about this!) I suggest (I speak from experience) subscribing for a couple of issues before you take the plunge and place an ad. http://scican2.scican.net/haxton//RCTQ/FAQ/selling.htm Perhaps, if you read all of these, you will get your definitive answer on what you are doing. I said you were acting like a snotty, ignorant child because you were shooting down every possibiltity that people, lke me, who approached your post with a good heart, were being shot down. A person who really wanted help, would have simply said a gracious thank you and wouldn't have shot down everything. Cheyne wrote: Okay let me try to rephrase this for you... so you understand what I am saying.. when you sign up for any group.. via internet... You have to click a button that says terms of agreement.. that means the rules that comply with the web hosting company.. Your provider here would be Google. Googles rules state that you MUST not spam MAIL everyone which I did not do. I posted a post... where you can open it at your own free will correct? No one forces you to click the mouse to read. As far as soliciting, if I was soliciting, I would have come on here and had speech prepared about the great new vacuum cleaner I could sell you. I was offering a trade. One of your members.. who YES posts quite frequently, but has yet to post any comments to this post log at all, linked me to your site. I watch her sitting back being quite and I dont even know the lady only her name. Yet you all respond frequently to hers.. Who could it be? Maybe your terms and guidelines should be more clear or you should have a mail sent out to new members about what they can and cant do. I read nothing or saw nothing OTHER than googles terms. I wasnt asking for money.. I was stating, if anyone would like a quilt block... maybe to help complete a quilt.. or for new flavor.. or anything... OR if you could offer a kind word, gesture.. anything a prayer.. that would be appreciated... but those words were over-looked and I was shot down into the water. I have gotten many great emails up until I got a nice letter from CNYstitcher saying that I was an ignorant snotty little bitch last night. Of course when words are thrown at me I will throw them back. I didnt deserve them. Maybe I wasnt supposed to post here in the first place.. or maybe I shouldnt have come here... but there could have been better ways to approach the situation.... Like maybe Hi cheyne... thanks for finding our site, although we would like for you to continue posting here, we really cant offering anything to you, and we ask that your posts not be asking for donations.. Was that hard.... did I get that?? or any decency? No... I was offered the first post back... You would be trying to fool us now Cheyne would you?? Or... sounds like a bunch of bULLOney to me... How can anyone every feel welcomed in your group if thats how you treat them? With disrespect... and then I offer some words to try and explain myself... I dont know what else to do to proove myself... medical bills what??? No one still says you cant post this here... they tell me I am a liar, trying to cheat someone... that I am ignorant.. that I am no child... that I should give up school... get a second job... live at home... dont make anything of myself... have you read this from beginning to END??? IT ISNT until last night that someone finally said... hey... you know what.... you shouldnt have posted this here... maybe trying to be friendly... I give you credit for that.. Nice way to try and rectify the situation but by then, blows had already been thrown... people were already upset and my heart was still broken. You havent tried to make me feel welcome... If anything I feel worse leaving this site then when I got here. I ahve recieved a few wonderful emails that I hold dear to me... But no one tried to step back for just ONE second and see me... desperate looking for anything to help... I didnt shoot your ideas down... I have kept a log book of everything.. but do understand.. if a person is this desperate and offering to sell everything they own just to see someones life better...they have already probably tried to common answers like exercising. I am at a loss for words.. I have been made to feel like the bad guy and I am not... I just wanted to help my mom. I dont have much to hold onto and I reahed for a group who I thought would help me... and let me cry on their shoulder ... but I couldnt get that so I sit in my apartment alone and devastated.. with no one.. I want to apologize to those people who had great things to say to me via email.. and I want to apologize to those people who had to read my post and were offended.. I will even apologize to those people who had to read my last few angry letters... but I WILL not apologize to those people who disrespected me, cut me down... or did anything but MAKE me feel unwelcomed.. I dont appreciate getting emails from people who dont have anything positive to say... and I especially like someone coming back here and stating that I emailed her telling that her that I held her blame for everything started here.. I wrote her back and tried to remain calm.. but wrote the nasty things people had said to me.. and asked her if that is how she would want to be treated.. She totally changed the situation and believes calling me ignarant will make her a better person... I'm glad you believe I had been very gently treated here.. but that is far from the truth.. Peoples ugly sides shown my direction and if you are threatening me as to removing my name, whats the worst that could be done to me??? This group already threw stones... you want to hurt me more??? gently is a term I wouldnt use, I havent been fed any silver spoons, and after this experience I dont know why anyone would want to be here and chance themselves to this kind of experience where they fear someone will talk bad about them in front of everyone else...... Thanks for the welcome.. Thanks for making me feel "good" about myself... thanks for the help with my mother, the few who actually did send a donation and offered prayers... God bless you.. Thank you so much... :*( |

I responded to like words from this troll when I said these things.
And I certainly do wish that she would either stop lying about getting this group from a frequent poster, or that she and the poster would fess up. ANY regular member here knows the rules and guidelines by now......or is this person ashamed that they encouraged this behavior from an unknown?

In a direct email from this person, I got blamed for all of the
following quotes: Cheyne wrote: I was offered the first post back... You would be tying to fool us now Cheyne would you?? Or... sounds like a bunch of bULOney to me... they tell me I am a liar, trying to cheat someone... that I am ignorant.. that I am no child... that I should give up school... get a second job... live at home... dont make anything of myself... have you read this from beginning to END??? So, all of you other rctqrs who have said any of the above things (and I'm not researchingthourh google to find them), rest assured, this "child" as she calls herself has decided that she will presonally email me and attack me for everything negative that has been said Also, when she says: "No one still says you cant post this here..." Is it just me, or did nearly every one of the initial responses to her 1st post have this in them in some form or another?? |

I know, I know, responding to my own post.
She's a geology major. What do you all think of "Fractured Crystals"? Think I can do it? Google hits indicate it's intermediate/advanced. Think it will work up ok in buttery yellow, black, and two accent flowerish related prints? -Charlotte Charlotte Henson wrote: Back to quilting: I just found a black (who knew it would be so difficult?) that is of the right scale and nature to compliment my sister's lap quilt-to-be.

If the group is so terrible, why do you keep posting here? -- Jo in Scotland I don't usually do this, because I think people who email nasty things to people ought to have the guts to post them publicly themselves, if they truly believe in what they write. This is what Cheyne emailed me just now: You are a real bitch! Why don't you just leave this group. This is the work of a troll folks. Maybe she didn't start off that way, but that's what she is now. I'll killfile the rest of this "conversation" in the group and get back to my normal, Cheyne-free life. I didn't know everything when I was 22 years old either, but I didn't call people a bitch. -- Jo in Scotland |
