huh, thats weird never even knew that was there, so its like a block thing?When you click on someone's username/picture this comes up (I used yours as an example because it doesn't work when I click on my own, I hope you don't mind!):
There's a option that says "ignore" (I circled it)... Click that and that user's posts don't show up for you!
oh okay thanks to you and mollymags i never knew that was there.
The term Newbie here isn't about your time in cheer, it's more about your time on the board. In my opinion, the people who are Newbies to the board and Newbies to cheer are usually the best kind of Newbies. They rarely join for the sole purpose of dropping drama-bombs. They ask a lot of good questions, even if the answers are simple or second nature to the people with history. They take time to learn the board rules and the posting nuances.
I can't stand them BUT I understand why they're so popular- it's pure escapism (the horrendously unreal concept of 'changing a person' and being loved despite being 'boring and plain'). Although, if you honestly look at a list of 'Ways to Tell if You're in an Abusive Relationship', you'll find Bella and Edward match almost every one. I find Bella vapid, unintelligent, and one-dimensional: not what I'm looking for in my book heroines (Hey Katniss and Hermione!). She writes on a fifth grade level. It doesn't help that at the time I was reading it, I was also reading Atlas Shrugged. It's blasphemy to do that- I don't suggest it lolOh no you didn't!!! :jawdrop: As a mother of a 2 CPs, who has read all of the books in the Twilight series twice, it pained me to hear that someone didn't think that the books were well-written. I absolutely love those books!! But then again, I read to escape from reality, which of course is why Twilight was written.
If you like them, read them to your hearts content. I got halfway through the series and contemplated a large-scale book burning. Also I disagree with many of Stephanie Meyers ideals..
I'm pretty sure that series is the textbook for Codependency 101. As far as critical writing, it's got nothing on JK Rowling books 1-5. Don't get me started on 6.I can't stand them BUT I understand why they're so popular- it's pure escapism (the horrendously unreal concept of 'changing a person' and being loved despite being 'boring and plain').

I think I have the same person on "ignore"
I can agree with this statement.
