Sometimes, people on here forget their manners.
I mean......... if I were in front of you - would you answer me the same way? A little bit of "putting the brain in gear before you put your words in motion" would help. And if you have been hearing about the meanness so much - well don't you think that it is true and that some people are offended? This should be a place where people are not afraid to ask a question - and you know........... it is. That is all. |
Yep.
I have to say, after having seen this debate take place approximately 8,344,398,348 times here... it's not going to change. There's a wide range of sensitivities here, and unfortunately, a few people choose to be very ill-mannered. I've seen several people basically say that they are absolutely not open to change since they are already without flaw, so there you go.
It's a big forum, and there are lots of great people and a lot of great information. Negative experiences tend to get more of our attention, that's just how we're built. Our dogs are the same way! So sometimes we may need to make an effort to focus on the many, many positive things, even when there is just that one maddening comment you can't get out of your head.
