RE: Your True Self!

Of course
People do have their own opinions and that is how it should be .
However publically shaming someone to "prove " a point is not very nice IMO. And I am only articulating that. I think it is devisive and wholly wrong to attack in such a fashion and to me ,showed an angenda .

RE: Your True Self!

Hi Veritaas
Not arguing with you , I am just saying it as I see it ... I think that there was a blatent attack on the OP... if people were truely "worried" about plagerism they would have very kindly have MAILED the OP pointing it out and KINDLY requested that she make it right .... that'S what I would have done to be honest .... my quess is that they were not as "affronted" as they made out

RE: Stigmata

I would think the power of the mind is enormous !!
There are people on here who think that they actually own the site and others who think they are writers ........ just because their "mind" tells them so

RE: Your True Self!

Amazing ,wonderful post .

RE: Anyone with Skype and or advice on findind airline tickets please help!!!!

I don't know if it is better than online to be honest.Put it this way , my sister -in law had over 400 euros taken out of her bank account by being hacked whilst buying online flight tickets , lucky for her the bank replaced her stolen money. I never do business online .

RE: Your True Self!

What I found most unedifying was that the resident troll enetered and suddenly the OP was a nasty person , because the poor ,poor misunderstood troll has personal experience with the OP.... gimme me a break .Seemed the troll wasn't concerned that the work was not the OP's and more that the troll wanted to have a dig ... Very sad indeed.

RE: Anyone with Skype and or advice on findind airline tickets please help!!!!

Just go into your nearest Travel Agents and suss out cheaper flights , sometimes you can get a bargain.

RE: Your True Self!

That was not ment to be in my post .Apologies Davpk.

RE: Your True Self!

"But what is a professional level of writing ?"
Fab question Davpk I am sure some literary GIANT will come in and identify for us mere humans

RE: Your True Self!

Amen too that !!
I am nonplussed.... why would so lofty a person, why a professional writer , a literary genious want to hang out on an interent forum , a lowly dating site ? Thats the impression I got from the scathing attack on the OP .... these literary GIANTS deem themselves to be above all on here and in my view treat the site with contempt .....and it's posters .
If I am writing to any one , I make sure ,if it is an officail letter ,email etc, that I write properly , same would be said of an acedemic work .... dot I's and cross T's ..... I don't how coming here as a "professional writer " has any use or merit for them ? It seems they kinda get off on being superiour and that they don't have the recognition they crave in the real world ,so they come here and TRY to be important.IMV.

RE: Your True Self!

Hi Lauralie
I am inclined to believe that the OP made an error .Mistakes happen , all the time , no ? Think of MD's who have been responsible for a patients death due to human error ? So really ,no one died here and the OP forgot to cite the refernece , that is my take

RE: Your True Self!

Hi Davpk

My friend works in publishing ... and it is very surprising the amount of people who PAY to get their work published.

Now I ask you , if you PAY to get a work published , does that make you a professional writer or a wannabe dreamer ?

RE: What are my rights

RE: Your True Self!

I didn't get an answer to that either .

RE: Your True Self!

Right , so now you want to put words in my mouth Ambrose ?
Not ok with me ,that.
Night.

RE: Your True Self!

Hey , the OP is sharing from a work , no ? She is not making a profit from it ... mistakes happens and perhaps the OP forgot to actually cite the reference ? It is possibel Ambrose .

And you mention that you are a writer ? Well it is a waste of your talent scouring dating sites for insperation , no ?
Not being smart with you but maybe you should be more forgiving .We none of us "know it all " we all come from a long line of "learners" we are an amalgam (sp) of centuries of learning... we didn't get this smart on our own.

RE: Your True Self!

My sentiments exactly.

RE: Your True Self!

Thank you OP for pointing me in the direction of this book ...
It ,your OP was a very good read ,irregardless who wrote it .

RE: What are my rights

Ahh !! Thanks Sharina .. is it like acetate ?

RE: What are my rights

Take it back to the shop.... but what is a laminator , never heard of it . I am familiar with laminate flooring , has it anything to do with that ?

RE: What operating system is your computer running

Thanks again Mac .. but the only little labels I see say "AMD,mobile sempron" Thats one and the others say "ATI" and the other is just a label for windows vista .

RE: What operating system is your computer running

Thanks Mac ... but I can't even change a plug . I have idea what a taskbar is ? Also I don't know what the CPU is . Its annoying and I am fed up of it to be honest.
