Anything Goes

mezzosoprano:
If a board says anything goes, then I don't think another poster should tell me to post elsewhere.  That is the best way I can think of to chase people away from community altogether.

jtaylor:
I wasn't telling you not to post there, I was pointing out that there is an entire section of this board dedicated to the books. You asked a question about the books. I was point out to you that there was a better place to get you question answered since you are new. I was not trying to chase you away, but to help you find a place that would get more discussion on the question you asked. McAnally's is for general discussion about anything from movies to bumper stickers. The Dresden section is for discussing the books period. It is where most of us go to talk about the books, because that is the purpose of the board. I didn't tell you not to post in McAnally's, and I responded to your fist question after giving the pointer for future use. I was just trying to be helpful. Believe me, that will not be happening again.

mezzosoprano:
Thank you

Sorry to stick my nose in but... I take "Anything Goes" for McAnallys as referring to anything else not covered in the currently existing forums. I take it as the catch-all place for current events, getting to know other members and goofing off.

Also, with a title like "Charity" for your thread, I had no idea you were discussing the book. I thought you wanted to discuss the various charities some of us may work with or share a story of your own. I didn't expect a discussion of the books. And since I haven't read all the books yet, I wasn't thrilled finding a spoiler for one there. That's one reason I haven't posted in a lot of the other forums yet, I don't want to wander across spoilers and such. I know you didn't intend it that way. It was just one of those things that happens sometimes.

mezzosoprano:
I was actually looking for opinions not ALREADY discussed in the book threads and expected to find more author, thinker types rather than big time fans there.  I wanted to get a thoughtful response that addressed that issue and not just whether or not people like the character. I was trying to get an opinion on how it would affect the series ongoing.  Unfortunately, that is not what happened.  Had the person who responded given his answer to the question first, and the suggestion that it might get more attention on another board after that, I might not have been so offended.  But it DOES say "anything goes".  It just doesn't seem to mean it.
