Those of you in the romper room…er…spoiler space for speculation…should probably know that all the comments show up in my email and also–when I come here to answer comments in other threads–the main comments display as viewed by the Admin (the hat I was given by having this place.)<\/p>\n
So, although I try not to pay any attention to that thread’s comments (and mostly I don’t) sometimes a phrase catches my eye.\u00a0\u00a0 And so, without any intent to peek, I’ve peeked here and there (by no means the whole thing.)\u00a0\u00a0 My only real concern, folks, is that something might happen to make people unhappy with not just that playroom but the whole space and (worst case) Paksworld itself.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On other threads, we’ve hit on some serious topics as well as fun ones, and occasionally it’s seemed (to me, but being a writer I may be hypersensitive to this) that one or another person is getting upset.\u00a0\u00a0 Feelings hurt.\u00a0 Anger roused.\u00a0 That sort of thing.<\/p>\n
Here, where I’m not reading every comment every day, that could happen and turn into a storm before I’m aware there’s a cloud in the sky.\u00a0\u00a0 Was there a cloud in one of the comments that flashed a phrase in my eye before I turned away?\u00a0\u00a0 I’m not sure.\u00a0\u00a0 I hope not.\u00a0\u00a0 Among other things I have a long hard rehearsal for which I should be leaving two minutes ago,\u00a0 to sing music I don’t like, and I really don’t want to deal with other problems.\u00a0\u00a0 So I would ask you all to refrain from painting the playroom walls with…any bodily fluids.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No name-calling, no hair-pulling, no kicking of shins. \u00a0\u00a0 Take deep breaths.\u00a0 Recognize potential friends, not enemies.\u00a0 If it’s not being fun for you, take a break outside in some fresh air.<\/p>\n
Given the music schedule and the work schedule for the next two weeks (extra rehearsals, long hours) I won’t be able to do any more than glance at this place, cross my fingers, and hope to find it all in order when I come back.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 However, if one of you has a complaint to file with Admin, please email me directly (link on my website, if you don’t have the email addy already) and I’ll try to resolve the situation.\u00a0 I value all of you, and your participation, and want it to be a good experience.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And if I’m overreacting to that briefly seen phrase or two,\u00a0 my apologies for thinking, even for a moment, that you fine adult people might be experiencing any unpleasantness.<\/p>\n
(I’m now 7 minutes behind schedule and still don’t have shoes and socks on.\u00a0 Bye, now.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
