I think the problem is it does not fit with what you decided it means to you. That does not change reality. I know the difference between Chapala.com, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. They are different from each other, but they are all social media. You are incorrect when you say you are not on any social media. But if you need to be right you can continue to say that here on this computer-mediated technology that facilitates you sharing information, ideas, and other forms of expression via this virtual community. I replied to this already, above : you get to be right. Why are you continuing? If you want to see my statement about not participating in social media beaten into the ground, fine. Statement revised for your pleasure: "I am not on Facebook, Twitter, and similar social media. I do participate in two local web boards". Does that do it for you? Enough, already. 👎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say anyone who went back and deleted a reaction icon now that they are not anonymous should really think about what kind of person does that.

RickS Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 This is EXACTLY how about 95% of the Posts here turn out... ask a simple question and if it doesn’t get hijacked big time it turns into a ‘piss’n contest’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm going to propose the addition of my favourite icon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I got lost half way through the thread. But back to the post on the icons, I put my vote down as a big Yes on name identification on the "sad" and "confused" ones. Either identify or delete the icons entirely, which would be fine also. In the past, I've seen too many comments marked sad or confused when it had nothing to do with the content. Seems to be more of a passive aggressive outlet for people who don't like the poster. I am, of course, sad and confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexy Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Actually some time back the name ID did appear along with the icons. I liked it. Then with various work done on this website, the persoalized ID icons disappeared and we got just the icons. I'm glad to see the matching IDs back. Don't most of us know where each of us stands politically by now with or without the IDs attached to certain opinions? And don't we recall when a certain person was in a position to abuse his priveleged position? Of course we do and complaints pored in. It's all better now. Let's keep the IDed icons.

gringal Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Maybe they should add a "hate you in general" button for use by stalkers, who click the negative icon no matter what subject you're posting on. 🙄 (one of those happened on the current ASA art show announcement). Are we seeing childish, or what?😁 IMHO, if we have an opinion, we should post it. I'm in favor of NO icons or identifying handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I've noticed you have a stalker - not too hard to identify even without the ID. Sad display of passive aggression. I am in favor of no icons, buttons or other gizmos, just civilized (well, usually) conversation, information and advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Agree wholeheartedly. The system is too easily abused by the mean spirited and grudge holders. Please communicate your opinion to Admin Chapala. Mods already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 The old software effected simply a "Like" and your name. There was no other choice. And a like got you a point. So when someone like Hud wanted to annoy me, he'd just come right out and do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
