This is a difficult topic. I've been reemed by the mods for making new people feel unwelcome.

You can have a perfectly innocent intent....or an unusual sense of humor like I have...and offend people.

I think it's a compromise. People should be at least somewhat sensative to how what they post might be taken. And we all should not be so sensative that we take offense easily to what others post.

We should be free to be ourselves and let others be too. Let's all just collectively take a great big chill pill and go back to having a buttload of fun!! tongue2


people are oversensitive.. becuase i for one you make me laugh sooo hard i look forward to your postsbigsmile

The whiney threads get to me.....I will admit it. I have to sit on my hands so I dont type something mean. Because there is a difference between generally asking for help and begging for people to say "Awwwwwwwwwww youre pretty.....dont worry about it" etc.explode


Those threads annoy me as well.

I am glad you brought this up. I like to express and opinion but I think you can tell what you think about a subject with out attacking the speaker.

The name calling and personal insults and picking on people who are just looking for some friendly support when they are in pain is totally un called for.

I personally think if someone is attacted publiclly in forums you can tell them privately or publiclly that you didn't like it. A simple endorsement of your friend and their right to not be insulted is enough. That doesn't have to turn the forums into a popularity contest or cheerlead on arguements versus discussions.

I generally let people defend themselves because I respect you all as adults to shake off truely ignorant stuff but the lines are being crossed too often and I have often been tempted to reference the long stand compliment of disapproval "Honey that was such a darlin thing to say." I have just felt such subtle ways would be lost on most of them. Telling someone to apologize for their behavior usually negates the apology.

While some of you are younger and have the energy to punch bullies in the nose verbally (which most of them enjoy since it is better than no attention at all) most of you will learn the wisdom in the saying "There is no punishment like silence for a fool." By ignoreing their remarks or refuseing to be baited into anger they have defeated themselves by showing their real colors. It may take being shut out many times before they correct their behavior but eventually it works.

I do think it is important to keep in mind that cyber bullies can and do up there game into real life and or do a lot of emotional damage. There are people who do have fragile personalities and personal attacks do cause real pain even if they are only a key stroke. Many people need the approval for their survival. For some the perceptions that the world gives them comes primarily from their computer because they are more or less invisible everywhere else. There are many documented cases where cyber bully victims do serious harm to themself or others because they have no where else to take their anger.

I don't think the moderators can always deal with this issue. Maybe a gentle, or not so gentle if it comes is numbers, "Moderate your comments" would help. It is worth a try when you see something you don't think is within boundries.

If someone brings a personal fight in the room jumping on them can

Communities like this can set boundries by limiting the behavior of angry people by disinclusion. If they can not get a response they will up the behavior to try and get attention and then when they are ignored they will leave.

Lately, I've been mostly sticking to a couple of threads, usually because the negativity just gets to me. This used to be a place where people could thread hop, have a good time, express opinions, ask for help, etc and it was a pretty positive place to be. Now, a lot of time, it's just negative. And it makes me sad and angry and irritated and I don't like myself when I get that way. So, I just try to keep to myself. And I don't like that much either. What to do, what to do?

even when we try to ignore someone whos being a complete ass they decide to come in and attack others in diffrent threads. they are rabid about getting trouble started. fun is fun, and done is done. and once done, it cant be undone.
