I’m very sorry you had to read the comments, this was posted before you apologised & I did not mention your name at all.
I was extremely upset by your post which was made on the Folksy forum for all to see.
If you’ve seen me in Face you would know that I don’t steal other people’s work, all my pieces are made by me & photographed by me.
You made the comment in the first place.
I accepted your apology & today is other day. When you’ mentioned your son, I understood that.
Don’t leave the Folksy you are as much entitled to be a member as anyone.
Again I’m sorry that you read that! But why go to my page!
A small note in case all forum users are not aware. There is an edit button (the pencil) which you can click and then edit whatever you have commented. Always a good idea if someone has been offended by what you have written. Best thing is to edit and overtype with…"sorry comment removed’…
Shirley There is no reason at all for you to leave the forum, no reason at all xx.
If you don’t want to post for a while then so be it, leave it until the new year and see how you feel.
but even if you sign out you can still read everything here… total outsiders, customers, ex sellers can all read everything on here except only sellers and ex sellers can read the Sellers category posts.
It’s seems that I’ve caused a lot of commotion since I joined in & it’s only been a few days lol.
I will think about it over the Christmas holidays& see how I feel. Thank you for the advice on editing I didn’t see that.
Thank you
Shirley There is Nothing you have written which needs editing. What does need editing are the comments made about you and i cannot understand why they have not yet been removed.
You have done absolutely nothing wrong. You have quite rightly been upset by something said against you which should have beeen removed very quickly but hasn’t been. I for one reported it as in appropriate and would imagine that others did too.
Please just take a deep breath, relax, grab a coffee or even a g&t and certainly a large slice of cake. You don’t need the naughty step , you are 100% innocent of any wrongdoing.
Have a lovely weekend …xxxxxxxxxxxx
I was going to your page as I do other Folksy sellers’ pages on Facebook. I like seeing what people are sharing and posting about their work and I go for inspiration as to how I might try to increase my social media presence because I find it so hard to wrap my head around. That’s all.
If someone upsets you on here the best course of action is to contact Folksy admin and lodge a complaint. They will deal with it. But when you plaster it all over your very public Facebook with everyone getting up in arms or putting the knife in, it just makes things worse. And while you have not named anyone, there’s nothing to stop people coming here and reading this and then finding out who she is. And then what?
We would like to remind everyone of our community policy - Terms of Service - Folksy Forums, in particular the first rule: Be welcoming, considerate and respectful
Please consider whether your words could come across as unkind, even if that is not how you intend them, as tone is not always clear online (and keep in mind this also applies when commenting on others you feel may have broken the rules).
We ask that the discussion related to the hidden comment isn’t continued, as this isn’t making anyone feel welcome, and we don’t want any of you to feel like you shouldn’t be posting here.
Julie @ChocolimeAndSunshine I and others know that when we write or text things it can be misinterpreted. I don’t believe for one minute anyone here thinks you meant to upset anyone. I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a rotten year and hope you take care of yourself. Take a deep breath. You explained what you meant, apologised for any offense. This is what my mum would call a storm in a tea cup and it will pass. Please don’t leave
