Irish Bog Wood Cameo Brooch Identification .... ooooh and HELLO :O)

My god!
You people are like kids in a classroom that has a "new kid" and no one wants to sit by him because one of "the in-crowd" doesn't like him.
Grow up and quit being bullies.

 

Except it looks more like a bird resting on his hand! But, WHDIK!!!!

 

That I understand, but if people want to poke fun at each other than they should at least have the courtesy to direct that poke at the person in question, and not comment about them to someone else. Do you not see that as rude? ... I don't know people on this board, nor do they know me so what gives them the right to talk about me on my own thread. I would hope now that anyone who has taken a dislike to me will now leave the thread, but that may be wishful thinking on my part.

 

Laughter is good for the brain. Humour often helps the thought process.

I think it has to do with the attitude from the start of this thread, not with one of a supposed in-crowd liking him or not.

 

Thank you (but hope not to get you in trouble for your support)

 

We all support you, otherwise we would not take the trouble to think about your brooch.
Whatever else could be added to this, has already been said, I think.

 

Don't worry about it, It's easy to think people are being hostile when in reality they are just trying to be funny. People here don't usually hold a grudge.
(Sorry Any Jewelry, I was in the middle of this when you replied.)

 

"what gives them the right to talk about me on my own thread."

First the minute you posted, it became the forum's thread and open to all comments.

You have to remember that we are looking at a flat screen with no facial expressions, or intonations of voice.

I would hope now that anyone who has taken a dislike to me will now leave the thread, but that may be wishful thinking on my part.
Your reactions to us are defensive, and really have no need to be.
I don't think that anyone dislikes you per se. However, your direct wording may have put people off and now on the defense of you. I think mistakes were made on both sides and we should all apologize and move on.



Here's an example of how threads go off and on track. Be careful - you might laugh.

If that thing in the man's hand is a hawk, it looks like a frog to me. Hence my caption. More Kermit than Kes.

 

So please forgive me if I stepped on your toes.
Read a few threads, get to know some of the personalities.
Come back and ask more questions. We really do like to help people.

 

Don't worry, just my thought, not an order. And your answer was absolutely right.

 

I will now apologies as I had no idea what you meant, never realized that the hawk looked like a frog (Now your comment makes sense), thought initially it my have been a jibe at me for some reason., then someone else said something and I became a little to sensitive.

 

@Indianajonez
Here's another you should probably read.
It is a prime example of how my comment was misread, how the thread got off base, and how it is still being answered.

Indy, I hope you can laugh it all away with the threads mentioned by the others.

Hi and WELCOME, Indiana!! This is a great forum for learning as well as helping others!! We tend to throw FUN in the middle as well...so take a deep breath, let it out, and JOIN IN!!!!!

 

"Having a strong personality myself is why I probably found the personality of other here difficult to digest, as I said to afantiques I guess I'm to sensitive."

It's all a learning curve.
There are alot of STRONG personalities here.
Welcome to the board.

 

BTW the edit button on your posts only stays for about a day. You may want to go back and edit post 35. Your comment was added into what you quoted, and comes across as being a quote from me.

 

Sorry about that, will put it here instead:
Having a strong personality myself is why I probably found the personality of other here difficult to digest, as I said to afantiques I guess I'm to sensitive.

 

Thanks for that, I was getting confused again.
