View Full Version : Newbies-Moderators, & long timers are here for a reason- It's time to learn from them

"""Oh -- so that no one feels my previous sentence is putting them down, I want to point out that this is my "opinion" -- even though I'd also like to note that it's Alissa's (and other very very experienced raw folks') belief and the knowledge on which they base their practices."""

This was a comment I saw a long timer leave at the end of her post after she simply added some AWESOME info about protein. You would think that the above statement would be common sense, but it's as if, if you have been at this for awhile, you HAVE to place this in every message you make so ppl wont take your much well earned right to give advice so personal.

Ppl are moderators & long time raw foodies for a reason & if someone has a problem with any of THEM, they are also having an issue with ALISSA. I dont appreciate the way the moderators & others here have been treated.

The moderators are here for a reason. They arent robots Alissa works behind her desk. If a moderator tells you something you dont like hearing, instead of becomig an ugly minded troll.... learn WHY something wont or hasnt worked for you at the advice of these ppl & DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Dont TURN on those that are here to help you.

I have seen numerous times the moderators being treated as if they should be here 24/7. The moderators dont have to be here AT ALL for you. They do this on-their-own-free-will. By choice. They have lives (and a few are going through some serious things right now) And they STILL give you their time. They still makes sure they place some time on YOU they could be putting in their family.

I had to learn that reading other ppl stories were fun & they were indeed such a HUGE help, but the journey I spent so much time looking for was MY OWN.

To all the Newbies- You have YOUR OWN journal of miracles you will find along the way, YOUR OWN success story is waiting. We want to meet you, say hello to you, have a journey right along WITH you & be there to congratulate you. That's what we want!!

And to ANYONE I may have offended (some ppl only come here on the weekends) If you dont understand anything being said & you may feel left in the dark, this applies to those that have been battling this all week & more.

I want to send (((HUGGS)) to Rawkinlocs, RAWTRUTH, RawPriestess (you never had to prove yourself to ME), my SweetGoddess & MissLinda.

Happy Birthday to Angellynnn (39), Dan (37), megblu (23)!!!

And to Allisa... YOU BROKE THE CHAINS ALL THE OTHERS COULD NOT.

Ljannise, I went to send you an email, but you don't have one listed. What's up widdat? How can we communicate privately? Well -- you can send one to me, 'k?

Anyway -- here was pretty much the gist of it: thanks!!

By the way, I am in awe of your weight loss. My hat's off to you. You are definitely walking the walk and not just talking the talk. (Ooh, I'm so NOT a fan of hokey sayings like that, but .... in this case, it sure fits! Sorry - I'll be more original next time :p)

Hi Everyone,

Wow a post that makes sense.

The long time raw folks love your spirit.

Continue with the common sense approach.

I wish you all the best from an old school dude.

...your often censored post person,

M.B. . . . censored?!?!?!!? Say it ain't so!

M.B. -- the height, the pinnacle, the very crux of diplomacy -- censored?

(Yeah, I know the metaphors don't quite make sense, but I thought maybe your head needed scratching.)

Email is O-ficially fixed!!

I was worried that there would be some ppl offended by the post. I almost deleted it, but kept it up in the end because I dont think the moderators ever get to hear how special they are.

Sweetgoddess!!!!!

Are you really coming out this way to BOSTON!! I would be so excited....

Please let me know!! I am here to greet you with open arms:)

Ljannise-- I appreciate your posting and honesty. I also do see the majority of people here pretty respectful and appreciative of moderators and each other. I also think that people should understand that moderators are NOT gods and cannot have ALL the answers for their ??'s.

Just my 2cents,
JMD
