Well actually it would have to be on my fingers, but you get the point.
I received an very nice email from a total stranger today. That is what I get for having it available on here.
They informed me that I am very vocal and critical on other sellers Exclusives and never do I say a bad thing about Dani's.
I was told, then asked if I love Dani. Now that had me spitting my coke.
I deleted the email, blocked the sender and realized that these boards are too full of drama.
So I will no longer comment on others dies. Not because I love Dani either.
Just because people seem to take this stuff too serious, it is just metal and foam.
So to the person that sent me the email. My lips/fingers are sealed. I hope you feel better now.

I always knew you two had a special relationship!!! I am just so so jealous!!!! That is too funny but soooooooo sad!! Please go into your trash can on your email and give me the email address of the other person. <><

I'm so sorry, Bernadette! You are kidding, right? But, I know you aren't. That does make me rethink about having my email avail. But it's not my "real" email. I only send & give out that to certain people. Do people have nothing better to do? That took a lot of negative effort to do, look up your email, go to their email account & not just post on MB or send you a PM, think out what to say, etc. That's just such wasted time. Granted we are not all going to like each & every exclusive & you should have the right to say what you will. I don't recall you ever being mean spirited, just how you feel. Not even negative, just that it doesn't work for you or does. I can completely understand, especially with the artistic creativity you have, I could see where you are coming from. And I value everyone's comments, because there have been times I can't think outside the box & others here have helped me. Now, for loving Dani, of course! What's so wrong with that. I love the family support we all give each other here. So, untape your fingers & mouth. And please continue sharing with us. If someone doesn't agree, that's okay, just respect each other's opinions. Love you, my friend!

and you said I was his favorite. you have got to be kidding me, and if you have duct tape on your mouth because of this one person, then you are wrong. sorry, but this is a free country, and just as that person has every right to email you (SO THEY THINK) you have every doggon right to speak your mind FREELY. if you don't, well, then, you are just not the bernadette i thought you were. and laura, i and others will have to just do it for you. ok, off my soap box now.

Since when have you been critical of everyone's dies but SL's??? That's news to me! I think we have all had dies that have "spoken" to us at the moment, because of our own scrapping style, whatever we're working currently, what pictures we have to scrapbook, etc. That said, (and I'm not going to go back and check every single thread), I don't recall that anyone has been totally loyal to Dani's dies ONLY. And Bernadette, I've communicated enough with you to know that whoever contacted you just doesn't have anything else to be unhappy about...I'm so sorry that they targeted you! By comparison, one of the very large reasons that I didn't ever join another MB (not the veggie one, either), was because it seemed to take a turn toward the negative...no one's dies were as good as theirs, if you were an "outsider" you weren't treated very nicely, and it just became a little too exclusive for me. Okay, end of rant! (I'm calm again!)

Bernadette you cant let such an e-mail shut you up... It boils down to plain jealousy! I guess that person who e-mailed you cant understand how you can be good friends with a store owner who treats everyone with respect and as a true friend. It is funny they sent you an e-mail, I wonder if they sent e-mails to members of another MB who dont stop giving praise left and right to the store owner... mmm It must also be irritating to them that we have such a nice MB here at SL where everyone is so friendly to each other and never have had any issues.... Bottom line if you really stop being the way you are, the troll has won!! Scrapy Lander's UNITE!!!

So I will no longer comment on others dies. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why Bernadette? We are free to express our opinions and I value yours.
Well here is my opinion on the recent dies:
the fawn - cute, but I have no use for it the owl - darling, but I already have A's the cats - I have dogs- I like cats but there is an allergy issue the holly - I don't like it SORRY the gnome - I embarrassed myself because I wanted it so bad AND I did not know it was Dani's
To Bernadette's emailer: There are bigger things to worry about - like encouraging each other and beinging a loving ear and friend when needed. Life is hard and there is a lot of illness, hurt and pain and it is nice to be able to come on here and share my struggles and be here for others - that is what this board is all about. I challenge you to please look outside the exclusive die box.

Please don't stop offering your opinion about dies and other things, Bernadette. You're a hoot and I've never seen you be anything but respectful. If the situation was reversed--that I had been sent that e-mail and said I wasn't going to comment anymore--what would you tell me? I suspect that you'd say I shouldn't let one so-and-so control me.

Ladies and Dani,
You are correct in saying I am not one to keep my mouth shut nor should I.
But to keep thing all nice in purty for SL I will.
My DH thinks I should start a thread bashing Dani's dies for fun!

Bernadette,
I value your opinion and I do not believe that you have been biased. I would hate for you not to feel free to express your ideas about anything here. But if you are standing firm about not posting you opinion about other's exclusives then could you please PM your opinions to me?
P.S. You saved me money on an exclusive that I was going to order without seeing it. You said it was ugly so I did not buy it. Later I saw a more detailed pic of it and guess what? It was ugly! ;D Thanks!

OK, I was in a small group that we run in my house, finished, came on the MB and read this first. Don't know why, but . . . FIRST~Hello, Miss (emailer) there is such a thing in this country known as freedom of speech. We have the right to say what we think. We may not always agree, but we are entitled to grant each other our differences of opinion. As a participant/reader of the MB, you too are entitled to say what you have to say. SECOND~Bernadette, (1) take the duct tape off (2) see above -- and, I truly do value your opinion. You have been nothing but kind to me since I got here and you are constantly sharing some really great ideas (and have never, to my knowledge, ever told anyone that they can't use the ideas). God, in his infinite wisdom, created us individually. We all possess talents and gifts. We each have our own unique set of talents and gifts. To not use them is hurtful to Him. OK, done with my

Part II:
castle & carriage - bought them (there are 5 little girls in my family) the fawn - Love it, but have to be VERY choosy about what I can buy the owl - not so crazy about it the cats - not a cat person (my husband has allergies. If it were a dog, probably would buy it) the holly - Is really pretty, but don't see myself using it the gnome - will make a great dwarf for my daughter's halloween costume cookie jar - haven't even seen it seashell border - really want it. if I'm supposed to have it, I'll get it

Geeze. I go to dinner and sit in my walk in closet to Fall clean it and miss everything! Bernedette, I hope that you do not let one emailer stop you from commenting on dies (which we all have done). I said that the A's giraffe scares me on more than one occasion. And with the apologies to Dani, though, I think that he did a wonderful job designing the gnome die, but I will not be ordering it. Everyone says it can double as a dwarf and the Snow White movie gave me nightmares as a child. yes, Dani your die now scares me! Happy now? Someone said something less than positive about Dani's new die. Jenn

OMG, I went scrapping today to only learn from your e-mailer that we had lost our civil rights to free speech in America. Wake up emailer we have the right to say if we like a die or not. We are not casting disparaging remarks about a human being. If we were then that would be a different story. Unfortunately the person that sent you the email is probably feeling pretty proud of themselves at this point because she got the upper hand here and had the pot stirring to a boil. That being said here is what I think of all the recent exclusives! The fawn is not exceptional not on my have to have list. The HL Dies: Frog is downright scary Castle and Carriage: Cute, but have no project for it at this time Cat: I love cats the die is not calling me however. Gnome: It is a little on the cutesy side for my tastes.(sorry Dani) A Christmas Exclusives: I like them, but will not purchase them because of shipping. (then again maybe the emailer thinks I don't have that right to make that decision. I could go on with my likes and dislikes but we will not ever make this person happy. So I am stirring the pot and telling you Bernadette to say what you want, we all value your opinion and the e-mailer dude or dudette can "GO POUND SAND"

I think the emailer must have had lessons from the vege site! Bernadette, do not stop saying what you think, it is a free country and if that person doesn't want to listen then he/she shouldn't. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and it would be a really boring world if we were all the same. Ignore it and treat it with the contempt it deserves. This board is the best and the only one I use, don't let that person spoil it for you. OK, my rant over - off to work!

I read Hilary's message on the General board, and started reading all of your threads and wondering what is going on! I then came to this thread....
If you need help taping your fingers - I'm good at that! LOL - that's another story/another day!
I was so surprised that someone would send you a note reprimanding you because you didn't like a die! Not all dies are for everyone and I have never seen the "meaness" on this board!
This reminds me of a coworker - she asked me a question two weeks ago, I gave her the "wrong" answer - something she didn't want to hear - she hasn't spoken to me in two and half weeks - no love loss there!
Speak your opinions, I know everyone does, we value the diversity!
