I did Welcome him but accidentally deleted the post and never put it back up. He didn't introduce himself or say that he was wishing to become a member. I think that's why he got a bad response.

@Kojaksmom Are there any welcomes? Any rules?

@FrayedBear what difference does it make anyway ? this is a free-form .if he wants to join enter into the discussion .nobody else welcome me when I joined. Personally i don't give a f***.

@Kojaksmom
•So I read "you don't give a f***". - Obviously very intimate.
•I do not understand your reaction. It comes across as very angry.
• Why do you call your child Kojak? Is he/ she hairless because of chemotherapy? That IMO would make any but the psychotic weep and be angry. If it's the case I shed tears with you.
•Are you responsible for this group?
•I thought that it was hosted by a bloke.
• Hello.???

@FrayedBear no I am not responsible for this group , but you obviously YOU are. I do find your reaction /post to be intrusive patronising and insulting

@Kojaksmom Never responsible. I only pressed the button to join at about my 1am. Today. That you find my reaction patronising is interesting. I merely asked for clarification on your site name. The only Kojak familiar to me was played by an actor, who like myself, had a shiny pate. He died many years ago of lung cancer. It is interesting that the person that I addressed myself to does not seem to take umbrage at what I have said even though he could have availed himself of your support of he had desired. You were all ready and fired up long before he responded however. You state that you posted a welcome but then deleted it? Why? Is that why you are angry and now wish to direct it at me? The insult in my opinion is that no one other Mr Lizard even responded to TheSkeptic's post and to be honest I was very surprised by Mr Lizard's brusque tone. Why did you not apologise for your deleted response? That IMO is intimacy in real time.
As for sharing real intimacy I have not had time as yet to read any of the posts so am unable to comment on anything other than the way that TheSkeptic has been greeted.
Perhaps you can elucidate on your feelings of being patronised and insulted? Answering polite questions is being intimate in real time and creates inclusiveness and respect for yourself.
I am not sure where you obtain your intrusive opinion considering that you have already stated that this group is an open forum for anyone to make opinion. Perhaps you can elucidate?
Or perhaps you think that no one is allowed to have differing opinions and therefore this should be a closed shop of closed minds? I do not understand how that can engender discussion on intimacy real or pretended.

@Theskeptic yes ,we do hope that you will. You are welcome here, and we all do look forward to hearing from you.
