Thank you Patrice. I was thinking of leaving the board for fear of not titling my topics correctly or leaving an offensive response.
Also, I was discussing this matter with another lady who I have been encouraging to join this site. After hearing about this thread she is no longer sure she wants to join.

encourage her to do what i do. when somebody is being a horse's patoot, i roll my eyes and put them in my mental "people who don't count" column.
i promise - that column is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay shorter than the "people i wish lived next door to me" column. ;-)

4. One word responses, such as "nice". That's only 4 letters. I mean, c'mon. Would you say that to a person who showed you their quilt in person? "Nice."
O.K. I am sooo guilty of this. With so many posters and so many pictures, I want to acknowledge that I looked and appreciated their efforts. Which is worse, a one word response or no response at all? One word responses to my posts don't bother me, but I will try to do better for those it does bother.
I love this board and don't have any serious complaints.
:D :D :D :D :D :D

keep the peeves in perspective.
Eddie, for example, makes a good point.
On the other hand, your question also illustrates a good point.
i often do the one-word compliment myself. usually, it's because i can't think of anything new to add or can't think of anything more original to say. sometimes it's because i'm in a rush.
i'm just happy to get compliments. i don't worry about the number of words.
my point being that even when a point is valid; even when it inspires us to do something in a different way; we most often don't need to be embarrassed because we're "guilty" or to worry about it. ;-)

I don't have a pet peeve, I love this board. If there is something I don't like, I go on to the next thing. It's like when people complain about what's on TV -- turn it off and don't watch it.
Basically, I think we are one big, happy family. We are blessed.
