I always speak my mind and sometimes I engage in the brutal truth which some people don't like, but others appreciate. But you can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.

I don't care if someone speaks their minds....do that every day myself. But when it breaks forum rules and insults/attacks, I WILL step in and I don't hold back

Trying to please all usually leaves one unpleased(Yourself)!

There is a big difference in getting your views across and giving constructive criticism and being just down right disrespectful.

after reading most of this thread, I do not see what the point is? To express how rude we can be? I am not really sure what was being asked in the OP so I am leaving to get groceries...lol

I am not really sure what was being asked in the OP so I am leaving to get groceries...lol Yes I felt the same way. I almost asked: "What was the question again?" I think the vague intent was to complain about people he thought were being rude to her and call them "arrogant." "Lots of times some arrogant members post snide remarks to me,or about other members that also join in on that particular subject? To me this is rude and uncalled !!"

I like to just post my thoughts on a thread and if I hurt someones feelings then I feel bad about it.I meet to many jerks in real life to become one on a internet site. I'm looking to meet some nice people if a thread gets too nasty, I just move on to another one.

Plain and simple...post a topic and you will get all kinds of opinions. Whether you agree or not. Making posts directed at members instead of the topic isn't tolerated 1) Do not attack/slam/insult others. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, use the Report Post link within that post. If you reciprocate instead, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences as the attacker. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning!

"Lots of times some arrogant members post snide remarks to me,or about other members that also join in on that particular subject? To me this is rude and uncalled !!" I definitely am asking for the question to be clarified because it sounded like someone was being insulted. It is possible to post a disagreement without insulting others. That should be considered when we speak our minds. It's easy to get carried away sometimes with a topic we feel strongly about. Those of us who have been here long term have probably had that happen once or twice. anf thusly we learn.....not to take anything too seriously on here...it's just a sharing of thoughts...not a final exam lol

I am not really sure what was being asked in the OP so I am leaving to get groceries...lol Since joining mingle i have been told to join in the forums to get to know members and let them know more about me. This i have been doing as well as starting my own questions on here. Just seems to me that some come on a post to be impolite or arrogant to show their stature they think they have here(old and young) to ruin and disrupt conversations"starting trouble" Sometimes to the point that a member just gives up and deletes their profile? Or you can be nice explaining to a member about situations,and about accused of"talking down" to them? A lot of members Have been Nice to me here,Some are Friends. Others impolite,arrogant,snobbish,overbearing,rude, seems their importance in life just includes themselves "selfcentered" When i meet people i've never met before"i say Hi" not turn up my nose and keep going. Or meet a man for the first time and act like i'm a "BIG MAN"? That's why this post started for ME to find out who YOU are ? YOU to know Me more? And if i find new Friends its Good!!

You said, I've put quite a few issues on the board since joining Mingle2 just to get Ignored, But here i am 1 year still posting still mingling and a few friends" mostly from distant states" Still trying to fit in? Thank You for joining in! Keep posting, mingling on the forums, your opinions are appreciated. There are so many people who are arrogant and impolite (old and young) who disrupt and like to start trouble so it is refreshing to find someone who still believes in respecting the opinions of others. Times have changed but common courtesy is still in fashion, acts of common courtesy take nothing away from the other party; rather it demonstrates a level of respect.

I have found that some people just like to argue. You just have to really watch those people and when you see them post, ignore them. I try to stay away from the drama because I am not here to get sucked into anything. Some people get off on being rude and thinking they know it all. I usually just walk away and shake my head...oh yes and say things to myself that I can't repeat!!

I try to be helpful to all. If I can save someone from heartache or pain I will. Recently had a woman criticise me for my posting. Then had the gall to say no ones reading them. 24 hits doesn't sound like no ones responding to my post. To me this was rude and very mean. It just goes to show why she's still single at 50. No one likes a person who nitpick, bullies or puts others down for no reason other than to satisfy their ego. Don't want to nitpick but how's this not judging someone and/or putting someone down? It just goes to show why she's still single at 50 Wanting to help ppl doesn't mean you always get gratitude. Sometimes ppl don't want your help, meaning you're more of a busy-body. And sometimes when you give advice it hits the mark just a tad to hard and ppl aren't ready to face it. So they get angry (out of fear) and lash out. Which basically means "back off! Too close for comfort!" Even if such a person says nasty things (which they often do in those cases) it should never be taken personally. Which takes strength of the helper, as it is ever so easy to react and lash out just the same. Helping in a healthy way for both = reaching out and then letting go completely, unless someone wants to know more. If you can't do that, you should ask yourself why you need to help others, cos then you get something out of it yourself, then YOU need it (which is the case for most ppl).

I was on another topic yesterday adding my view to a situation only to be provoked into a unpleasant confertation with a member? then another quoted my answer leaving some of it missing? And i guess i was called "the bad guy" there? This seems to be an ongoing thing here? Well i stated fully what i ment in the beginning and hopefully its not misinterpreted the wrong way, if so "oh well no sweat"! But glad you joined in!

This is a great topic. It says so much about people we come in contact with in our daily lives. And just like in real life when I come in contact with person I find arrogant and inconsiderate I avoid them like the plague. My grandson is dating a girl who never knows when to keep her mouth shut, it is always about how wonderful she is. I've made it understood to family that I have no time for her, when she tries to engage me in conversation I give her a deaf ear and walk away.
