Sooo last night after I came home from SnB, I went online, only to find that The Crazy had been unleashed.
I moderate a couple groups on Ravelry, and when I checked on one of them last night, I discovered that I had offended someone without even realizing it. A) it was unintended, but B) when I tried to clarify myself and smooth things over, I ended up making it worse, apparently. This morning, I attempted again to straighten out the situation, and the other person took offense again! *headdesk* So, I sent a PM and apologized–again–for whatever I did. I kind of understand how she misunderstood me, but at the same time I guess I should have been crystal clear when I originally posted…ok, THIS post makes no sense, right? sigh. Suffice it to say, all y’all who stay off the Ravelry forums are looking REALLY SMART to me right now. Because it’s just not worth the headache on days like today. I mean, I have a lot to worry about in my life (hmm mortgage, credit card bills, you know, REAL LIFE), without having to walk on eggshells for people in my own group that I moderate. zoinks. I swear, the Internet is going to be the death of me.
I think I’ll go craft something to avoid The Crazy. I finally got the hang of the basic crochet stitches, and I started a ripple afghan for M’s mom. I’m using super duper chunky yarn (Wool-Ease Thick & Quick) on a size P hook, so it’s definitely working up fast…but it feels like a workout just maneuvering the yarn around, lol!
Hug. I’ve seen the thread, and I don’t think you did anything wrong. And I can’t wait to see the afghan!
Thanks
I had to frog the afghan–I messed up plus it was just too wide. I’ll try again!
Don’t worry. I was reading the thread yesterday and I couldn’t figure out what the heck you did to set her off either. I think she may have been looking for a fight, because you really didn’t say anything mean. Don’t stress too much!
I’m still not sure what happened, either! Thanks
oohhh bummer about the misunderstanding. I try to stay away from forums. I have a weird thought process so people may get offended. *HUG*
That’s not a bad idea (staying away from forums, I mean)!
