THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS FOLKS, NO ONE IS BEING POINTED OUT. Maybe we've realized, as fun as it can be, there are still a handful who make life here rather difficult/dreary to be on here. I know I have .Who needs the grief, arguing, the dissing of people in threads. Not me I'm here for instance but there is absolutley nothing new on the boards, just the same few threads managed by a small handful of the same people in each one. When someone new makes a comment, they are ignored (maybe as a initiation rite- Couldn't figure that one out) or someone makes a smart aleck remark and more than once I have seen people deactivate from their own thread because of such.

There needs to be a little more explicity on the ground rules about adult behavior, since apparently some don't know what it means.
Also respecting others space, allowing them to be who they are, what they think. .

gosh Shasta there is a little of that here, but these forums are much better monitored than any of the SEVERAL I have been on before. I am on one site now that is SOOO bad it's a free for all. I actually see a new poster on here from that other site, and I just found out that she's here because the mods put her in "jail" over there. Heaven only knows what for. I had trouble - considerable - with her myself over there. I just hope she's learned something...so far she's been fine here.

Anyway my point is that these threads are really a much better environment than most - glad to meetcha

i use this site less and less, however did I ever meet a nice woman through mingle2 - my first ever meeting through this site...there aren't as many locals on mingle2 as compared with plenty of fish, so I am a bit surprised that I met someone I like here...it's not always about the number of members here it's about the quality of members here :)

Actually, these boards are very well monitored....sometimes too much so, but I'd rather too much than too little.

But, no matter where you go, online or IRL, there are those who just have to stir the pot. I handle it by ignoring it all. If someone emails me about someone else I just ignore it now. I don't get involved anymore....everyone has their own views on things and most of what we think about someone is simply our own perspective and judgement made with limited facts.

Yep, you definitely need to have a thick skin to post regularly in the forums. Over sensitivity will get you nowhere. Just ignore the bad and keep coming back for the good. I would miss you if you left, Shasta. flowerforyou

Yes, well my brother calls me Ms. Tact.laugh .Thank you Ruth,Iam sincerely flatteredblushing flowers You really get to see the inner workings of people on a place like this. I've seen people say things that really change my vote about them, mostly men. Not that they aren't nice people, but just those parts of them I wonder about. Being here almost a year, I can read threads and posts without looking who wrote them and can pick out alot of youse guys<G>.
I used to be sensitive but learned over the years that there's a time and place for everything in this world. I just know that I have come to this place and walked away feeling real good yet more and more are seeing little things that sit on the fence- so the OP/poster can say 'what? why that? I didn't mean' and the thread contnues. Has the whole world gone to apathy? And I walk away in disappointment.

Same here SW. I haven't had your or others experiences with other sites but if you say so, I'll trust ya.flowerforyou Maybe am too much a hopeful optimist. This place really is a great place, just like mentioned- it's wearing when things are all haywire due to a couple of posters and their non-intimadating ways. If I go any further, some mod will kick my butt out. I just want to be able to go in and have some real intelligent, thought provoking, problem solving conversations with real folk in certain areas without feekling it is a few's ground and they run every thread down to their liking.

I dont think its so much picking on the newbies, rude is rude no matter how long U have been here!! I will NOT tolerate anyone degrading someone else, no matter who it is. I will NOT set by and watch that happen, thats just the I was raised and cant change it!!
