Well to me it sounds like..

I think it would be smarter for me to learn the proper way you all want behavior in the forums for the most part, and for others also to adopt the concept of not reading my posts if they aren't interested. Because I'm being honest here, I don't know for certain which posts would be considered "really having something to say" vs posts you all consider to be just about me. Sometimes people talk about themselves to contribute their experience to a thread that "really has something to say." It honestly sounds pretty confusing.

What the others are saying about an Owl Forum is that they would rather you didn't rattle on about yourself so much and instead stick to the issues. That was something that I did as well. It got me put on the CSS TWIT files for some users here who didn't want to read it. What they are trying to say to you is to not make your posts personal, and instead stick to the topic and issues. They don't want to hear what your Councilor thinks, or what John thinks, or whatever happened to you in the past, they want to know what you think about the topic or issue without getting all personal about it. They would rather if you must go on about personal issues that you please do it in a different forum. Sorry if this hurts your feelings, but I didn't want them to beat around the bush so to speak and have someone directly say it to you. So I decided to play "Dr. Phil" for a post and give you the version of what I think they are trying to say. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

But all they had to do was ask me to stop, not trash me. No offense taken, straight talk is ALWAYS welcomed.
