Number as well as giving sound advice I’ve found a lot of what you say to be very interesting. You have been here from when I joined and I’m sure most will agree you are a big part of this forum…. Being different is what makes this place what it is and it wouldn’t be the same without you.
Each and every one of us here is unique, and it’s important that we all feel equally welcome here.
I don’t often share my feelings. But the truth is that comments made about me recently have led me to feel that my presence is not acceptable to you (and perhaps also to some others). This has been deeply upsetting, as this is the one place where I should surely also feel both welcome and able to develop a sense of belonging.
That being said, in case you’re under any misapprehension, and in case it matters even remotely, I want you to know that - those issues aside - I do also welcome your presence here, as I always have done.
All I ask is that you extend that same acceptance to me - including in respect of my posting style, which, just like yours, reflects my own individuality and perspective. I hope you will take this reply in the constructive spirit in which it's intended.
You seem to worry quite a bit about not being welcome here. Is there a way we could help you to no longer feel like that? You are very welcome! It is easy to feel rejected these days but this forum should be a place where rejection is out of question. Sorry you feel this way and I sincerely hope that some day you’ll be able to see how much you are appreciated by this community (at least that’s my impression)!
I don’t understand what is going on. Others seem to think there might be something going on, so maybe something is going on. I can’t see anything here except you might have had posts deleted or moderated, which might have made you feel unwelcome. Your style of engagement is inimitable but I have no issues with that and I welcome your posts.
I'm unsure of whats going on and why you feel unwelcome. Your presence here is welcome as far as I'm concerned, even if I challenge you when I disagree with you.
Is there something going on behind he scenes that only certain people know or something?
If Number's threads hadn't been deleted this morning, things would be a little clearer.
This is because he is in moderation which may be due to the overactive spam filter or because of another reason.
I do know that he made a reply to a thread a couple of days ago that was removed, either by the mods or aliens.
