I have been a silent reader of this board since moving to Gaffney this Spring. I enjoy reading the difference of opinions expressed on the board. I also just like to read about the different ideas and "going on's" that make up Gaffney politics etc. Oh my - what I have learned!!! I have hesitated to post because I have seen members criticized for their spelling, punctuation and for voicing opinions that may be in the minority .... That doesn't mean that I think people should always agree, however, a small dose of respect is helpful.

I completely agree with you! Thank you for the thread. Also, welcome to Gaffney! I don't like to argue politics on the boards, though I do express an opinion when I feel the need..lol But, that doesn't mean I want to bicker online.  There's enough of that here, already. I try to avoid arguing and name calling here! That accomplishes NOTHING! I, personally, do NOT appreciate threads that are made on here that are only meant to be hurtful to others. I think those kinds of remarks are uncalled for! Not to mention, completely childish!  Whether we agree or disagree, at least we can be cordial to one another.  On the lighter side, I've seen some very intelligent threads and posts here. I am hoping more people will come to the boards, eventually. I also hope you will continue to voice your opinion here, yankee! Again, welcome to Gaffney and our Boards. Sincerely, JavaMom |

Hi JavaMom and, Yankee. I would like to join in with her to welcome you to our fair city/county and say Happy post Christmas. Hope you enjoyed your first Christmas with us. HOW BOUT THIS WEATHER!!! ;D This is my birth place but was gone for 50 years and have only been back for three and am still trying to adjusts to being *home.* We came from out side Buffalo NY and I am sure you have at least heard what winters are like there? Well, this is as close to heaven as I can get while still living.  I agree that it would be nice if more people would post here, at times it seems that one is talking to themself. LOL. (at times it would appear that some people seem like they would prefer talking to them self) So Yankee, what do you think of our community? Have you involved yourself with it or are you still feeling your way around? If there is anything you would like to know and *if* I can find it out I would be more than happy to help you out. As to our small town Politics??  Well, I am not too sure about that. I think it definately could stand a little more hard nosed investigation. Seems a rather *despotic* situation to me. Definately do NOT like what they have done to main street and, the roads are a real mess. Now that is just for openers. LOL But please, do not be a *lurker* any longer, voice your opinions. If there are those that do not agree and cannot be civil about it, then, allow them their right to be rude and insensitive and "ignore" them. I am sure that you have read my thoughts on the subject and, witnessed my bad punctuation, spelling and *according to some* my misguided illiteracy but, doesn't bother me one whit. I just keep on keeping on. Again welcome and, happy Post Christmas. JavaMom, mine went well how about yours? Now if we can just make it through New Years!!! |
