Awww. I must have missed to what you are referring. I will say this. I, as much as the next person prefer correct spelling, BUT, I want to reach thru this screen and bop a couple of spelling police on the head. It is never ending.

Cheers to you bro, I agree

Not just one post Auburn, several....

Scott, I have never intentionally meant to be hurtful (ok, once) but your thread has definately made me think. I will try to keep my "sarcastic" humor in check and think of others. Thanks for the eye opener.

But those lookin for a hookup thread are fair game, right? I mean come on.

I love it when the spellin coppers try to edumacate me on me use of engleesh. Just cause I sound stoopid, don't mean I is. Stoopid is as stoopid does ya know

Awe your a good ol country woman

good topic...ty kojack

Thank you, Kojack.

your welcome Yellow and Want

Yeah an just cause I talk simple don't mean I ain't got grey matter tween me ears neither. People need to heed "Don't judge a book by it's cover"

So True !!!!

Scott, please check out my response to looking for older women in Sex and Dating? Better?

I could dazzle quite a few with my intellect, I just lazy an choose not to. I don't feel the need to make myself feel superior by 'showin off'. Take me as I am, for what I am or u can

yes

I promise to be good from now Kojack , my bad

Can't we-all just get along!!!???

one thing is to be witty with a response,

its another to be just right down mean and rude.

Its pretty bad when a mod has to get on a thread

and tell everyone to play nice.

Yes, agree w/ and thank you for your stance and this thread, Kojak! I feel a well-suppressed GRRR- rant coming on, forgive me in advance ...

My issue w/ this is hyper-acute w/ the buzz-frenzy one particular member creates when posting, even evidenced today. As I've ALWAYS spoken out for the underdog? I feel compelled to defensively champion this hurtfully scapegoated, seemingly very kind HUMAN being.

What is the pay-off in insulting someone w/ obviously diminished IQ and stated serious disease process underway, also in desperate loneliness and isolation?!? Those that attack are usually confident, intelligent, kind and good-humoured people in other threads; ALL of them are even my friends.

Actually makes me wonder if it is one of their secret profiles, and they've all agreed/allied to it for buzz factor?! When all it does is make them appear ignorant, cruel and evil! Might be fictional on my part, but it is the ONLY thing I can rationally fathom to live w/ the situation! I'll take delusion for one million, Alex ...

BIG difference between healthy debate and mercilessly trolling/flaming the WEAKER! What is the sport, or pleasure, in shooting fish in a bucket? SO mean, and so ultra-elementary schoolyard an antic. Sadistic - Vicious!!!

It actually breaks my heart and turns my stomach EVERYTIME, yet it is the train-wreck I can't help but stop and watch. Where is the loving compassion and empathy? Pick on someone your own intellectual calibre. Or, hey - I know! DON'T pick on anyone AT ALL!!!

HUGE difference between uninstigated offense, and the occasional necessity to speak up in defense. Why play offense against someone almost too incoherent to even, but just, barely manage participating? It has always been BULLYING, and it always will be!

STOP IT!!! That is all ...

See you all later of to do a seminar

I agree with you Kojack. There is no reason on this earth to be mean to our friends here at mingle. Mutual respect should be just that. I was always taught that if you don't have something nice to say then say nothing.
I guess that the forums can lead people with passionate feelings to voice them in a hurtful way just as they might in "the real world". We cannot change human nature but at least if we just do our part to treat people the way they should be treated. Who knows, it may become "catching".

Bingo! Everybody wants to be coddled. Now, "Suck it up and grow a pair!" has become taboo.
