USVI-On-Line

Good day all
I understood that Anthony had created the OT forum for receipes and that kind of fun.
Most of the time I do not even go on the OT unless I have to post something or find a receipe since some of you have some really cool ones.
Saying that, I wanted to say I enjoy this board and it has helped me so much in the last yr.
St. John is my home and even though I am stateside right now tending to family, it will always be my home.
I love coming on this board and reading all the comments about your trips and how much you love the little island.
I thought that was what the VIOL was about.
I am guessing there are people on this board that for some strange reason like to cause trouble.
My mom told me if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. She also told me when people continually are mean they are jealous.
May she rest in peace. She is a mom and they are right.

I just would like this board to continue to be the haven it is and the fun and frivolous place to come and play and chat about silly stuff.
This is not a political forum......the only voting that goes on is the best beach, best restaurant, and best happy hour...jmo that is enough

Be kind and be well

Completely agree.

I agree also!

I don't post alot, but am on here and appreciate the reports and responses from everyone. So lets all go back to what our mother taught us "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything"

The funny thing is now that my mom is 83 ... she says anything she wants. Maybe when you get to that age you don't have to follow the rules any more.

Peace, Love and St John!

I've noticed the toxic nature of some posts and they seem to come from a certain few people on a regular basis. It seems to have started during last year's election campaign. I hoped that after the election it would settle down, but it did not. What bothers me about that is that I also see messages from them that make me think that they are people that I would like to talk to. I don't understand the swing in behavior.

I do know that it is something I would rather not have to see.

I know. I could avoid clicking on something they wrote. There are two problems with that. The first is that the problem message may be buried in the middle of a very good thread. The other is that avoiding one of these people would mean that I will miss the good posts that we sometimes get from them.

I don't have a solution - just some observations.

And now - back to our vacation.
