I'm sorry you've experienced this - I'm just not sure how much the "friends" feature will ease situations like that.
I don't understand it really but I do know that we are not all friends
I have come across someone who really does not like me and makes it very clear although I have never knowingly done anything to upset this person. She just doesn't like me and wants me to know. This makes me very happy to have my own room with my own friends. It makes me feel safer
I just get the feeling now, looking around the 'Friends' that it can cause as much friction as the situation it eases
This statement was a bit naive of me...as in life there are some we connect with more than others. And some we avoid.I thought we were all "friends" here
...Which is what we're here for!However I feel sure that the board will settle down very soon, and it will be 'business as usual' on all the main forums.
I would like to feel we are all friends. There are always personality clashes in any community but the TP community is big enough to be able to accommodate differences. I have rubbed people up the wrong way and in turn have been offended by others. It`s easy enough to keep clear of people who are incompatible.....it happens in all walks of life and there`s no reason why it should not happen on TP.
... but am not sure of the need to encourage social groups.
I'm a bit concerned about this "friends" business...
Can I ask the purpose of it?
I thought we were all "friends" here...and I'm a wee bit concerned that groups of "friends" may deter others from joining in unless they are part of that group...and may even make them feel excluded therefore unable to post.
Personally I see this part of TP irrelevant. Does anyone else feel the same?
Originally we were one Community. Now we could become a community splintered into groups.
