Why are opinions/views not respected? Granted not everyone will ever agree on everything but let's pretend to be civilized and respect our fellow members, instead of turning threads into personal attacks. (sharing my opinion)

I agree nothing wrong with a good debate but when you start to say rude things cos people don't agree then thats wrong. As they say everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

agreed

good morning ladies

good morning fran

opinions are great, i like to see other people point of view. but what i DONT LIKE is personal attacks on people. thats wrong

I agree, and typically any of my comments are humor driven. The only times when I drift from humor, towards topical debate are when a certain someone cuts and pastes another article that he found on the web... I'll tell him how I feel, but hardly bashing....

morning all

mornin

morning all

Responses should include the noun "I" not "You" that alone will take away from personal attacks.

This is the perfect thread to say what I need to say before I back down from this forum.

I for one am not well suited for this forum, or so it seems, so I do believe I'll be moving on. Here is why if anyone is interested--

I posted a thread yesterday about something that really is rather important (HAARP/ELF Alert thread), backed it up with links noting the science and relevant charts behind my reasoning for posting the information, and was met with a string of almost entirely ridiculing posts... as if I'm some kind of head case.

Although I figured I'd get some of such posts I didn't realize I'd be met with so much of it, especially given my attempt was simply to inform, and inform with evidence. I can't find one bit of what I posted that was ingenuine in any way or fashion, but especially in any sense...the common kind.

I assure those who ridiculed me that I am not a head case. I am a well educated, well informed, productive, and caring person and I'll never be anything less, nor do I want to sublimate that to fit in somewhere just for the sake of being accepted.

Fortunately, I have made a few wonderful acquaintances here and am cultivating relationships with those people off forum and do count myself lucky for that (and I heartedly thank the forum owners for this opportunity), but for the most part a lot of you folks don't inspire welcome unless what is being posted are cookie cutter type of posts and threads. From my experience it's not out of hand for me to note that intolerance reigns free here.

So, I gather it's just in my best interest not to be active on the forum while this kind of intolerance prevails. To be active is...well, I don't like admitting it, but it's hurtful. I'd rather just not be active than not to be my good intentioned self.

BTW, the HAARP thread was not the only incidence of being ridiculed for sharing information from a position of experience and education, albeit out of the ordinary experiences and information, so I'm not just going off half-cocked here.

I do wish y'all all the best in your quests for love and happiness.

Peace
