Hi, I have seen a number of, well I call it "rude" replies to a question from a new user. like "When will DBC be up etc. Please don't be rude to those that are new and does not understand what is going on. Not everyone is blessed with patience! I am not, but I try to see where they are comming from. If you dont like to question, why do you reply with a rude comment? I am sorry if this offence any one, but it sure offend me when I see this. People like this causes a beautiful place like this to become only a place of futher stress. I come here to relax and see what is new and to keep up to date. Not to be rude to people diffrent from myself..

I'm afraid I'm one of those that get irritated somewhat by the constant asking where's the free designs. Mainly because "most" of these people have belonged to the group for quite awhile and have never contributed anything other then to ask "where are the free" designs. They want the designs but don't want to really contribute anything, not even a picture of a design they have stitched out that they have gleamed from CUTIES.

I agree, I too enjoy the designs, but then ask myself, how many have I stitched out. I'd like to see more learning and sharing learning tips. For example, tips on best stabilizers, threads, etc. Where to buy threads and supplies. We could help one another so much in that respect. I know I've appreciated all the help you have given me, though I don't post often. I love checking in and learning. I love the projects section. I am really inspired. This is a great place and I appreciate all the moderators are doing. Hugs to all

Thanks Muffy!

Rene, I have found that being online and typing the words sometimes make them flat. It is difficult to convey emotions with black words on a white background. I can read "Aren't you cute" with sarcasm and it will sound rude to my ears. I can read the same words while feeling love and it will not. I always try to read the questions and answers in the very best light I can put them and I am usually correct in my understanding.
I am guilty of answering for the 10th time on the 10th day in a short concise statement. We all have a point at which saying the same thing over and over becomes tedious, but I for one will try harder. Thank you for the reminder.

oh this is so true. When i type something i let it 'sit' for awhile before i hit the submit button. more often than not i change it.

I am sorry some posts are adding to your stress. I am also sorry you are offended.
It is possible that Cultural differences are present in the posts.
If you have seen Moderators (like myself) plead with people to be patient -- it is because the same user asks the same question repeatedly. They have seen the only answer we have right now. One user asked the same question nearly each day and replied to our answers each time. One must wonder what to say to help those individuals understand.
What would you say? How would you help them understand?

As you know, there is so much more to this site than the DBC. We hope to encourage people to see the other great parts while we wait (not all are blessed with patience) for the site owner to spend time she should have had with family -- working on the DBC.

I understand where you are coming from. It is important to be part of the solution. And it helps to reread what you type. Enjoy the Cute website. It is filled with wonderful people who truly care.

Rene, glad you love the site, please just try to over look unnecessary comments. This world is full of all sorts of people, and unfortunately not all are pleasant when saying what is on their mind...Try not to let it bother you, think of all the positives you get from this site....
