This constant complaining about people running people off is really old...people don't use these forums the way they used to because they go to Facebook and other social media.
Anyway....WAY off topic. |
Good grief! What in the world? What "ax" do you see directed soley at you? You've seen my comments, you realize I don't have problems stating my points directly when I feel it's necessary.
You posted a thread on "Internet Trolls" and it linked to a good, informative article. The topic made me think of all the members we've had here who've left this very forum, many with stated reasons as they felt attacked or hurt. We've had members here suspended or banned things got so overheated. A moderator had to post a thread essentially begging us to be kinder to one another in our comments, our forum has shrunk over the years and I realized many of us have been trolls here at times, far beyond disagreements but turning into disagreeable, bad-tempered, hostile responses, overwrought and some even personal. You yourself just commented on the "constant complaining" of people being run off so apparently it would seen they still are leaving, otherwise why has the forum gotten so small?
Whatever would make you think I had an "ax to grind" with you personally over that? You brought the topic up and I commented on it, never thinking of grinding any axe but reminding those of us who've gone near-postal at times in various ways how recognizable it is when you see it and hoping we can change it, make this a welcoming forum, not as tiny as it is now. We need to grow this forum but if you maintain that trolling no longer goes on here and this forum stands troll free now, I'll take that statement at face value, though I see you bumped this thread after your response to me for some purpose.
Linda, I've always felt you're a good-hearted, generous, kind and very helpful, sweet lady by nature, who's nursed ill/injured dogs, helped so man with their questions about dog health, etc. and always been incredibly and personally kind to me. I'll never forget your sweet kindness after my lumpectomy. I felt a kinship with you. What in the world is going on with you with this "ax" business? I've never needed anyone else's lead to comment on anything, as my history will show. I hope I've always done it without undue rancor or any hostility.
You posted the thread on Internet Trolls topic and I simply pointed out we've had our share here. You even agreed with me and seemed to think I don't know the all meanings of the word "disagreeable", which I commented on, axe free I thought. What in going on with you?
