I am not quite sure what the point was, and I am often kind of out of the loop. I checked my messages where someone informed me that I am “ostentatious”. I had to look it up! “characterized by vulgar or pretentious display; designed to impress or attract notice”.
I guess I do want my thoughts to be interesting and worth sharing. If that means I am ostentatious I guess I had better stand up and own it. I think we all write hoping that someone will read it and have a reaction. (I am typically hoping for a favorable one and sometimes that happens.)
I suppose people send private messages for a reason. So I am happy to not mention the name of the sender and keep that part private.

That perfect person ostentatiously displayed his/her real character of envy and jealousy at “the attention” readers/viewers give you because of your impressive, interesting articles. More attention, more readers, more esponses— more virils. That’s what we all want, don’t we? That’s probably the reason he/she is accusing you of ostentation (I googled the noun form of the verb, doesn’t sound right, but for fun sake…so, yeah…).
The great news is that I got familiar with a word I had almost forgotten. So I am going to take it as a great way to teach me something and do it with a smile.
Edits: *the reason why
i guess my friend I would say two things.
1. consider the source that said that.
2. you are not.
I know Ostentasous people, they are the people that talk about themselves. They focus only on them. They do not care about the success of others.
They are also not people that I call friends.
You are someone I consider a dear friend!
Well, thank you. It’s all good I looked up a word I had long forgotten. I am grateful I can still learn these things over and over.
that reminds me of a long story I will have to tell someday!
you are a good egg!
I would forget those members if I were you.
I am fine with it. It was a reminder of what the word meant.
I personally ignore such a message. These are people not worthy of my attention. I don’t pay attention to them. Keep your nerves and calm
Sounds like good advice and I am moving on.
I think we should be able to block certain members from being able to send us PM’s. They can be reported you know. Name calling is unacceptable.
I am going with it was supposed to be funny and moving on. I don’t need any more hurdles.
I understand and we have to keep our heads held high and move forward.
I am certainly going to give it my best shot.
Well I can say this much. Just dropping by when I have a minute or two and doing what works for others and has nothing to do with following my heart is the new normal and I wander through.
