I love a good debate but insulting and putting people down because they don't believe what you do is wrong.

yes...in my world i'm always right but I'm stuck living here

I'm w/u

Honestly, I think there are some people who deliberately post an incendiary topic and then sit back and wait for the drama to begin so they can start reporting people. I have seen it happen time and again. And then you have the people who continually post the self-pity threads. They are setting themselves up for a bit of a personal attack because people just get sick of hearing it after awhile.

And then you have the fact that one person's honest opinion is another person's personal attack. And the fact that some people just have no sense of humor. Someone was complaining about something once, and I said "tell mama about it" and someone blasted me for not being sympathetic enough. WTF? And there is one person who follows me around the forums criticising everything I do and say.

So a lot of these "personal attacks" are based on differences in perception.

true but with the self pity threads...if you don't like it....don't read it.

I know some people post those because they want to vent or something or maybe they really want help

Take what I have to say with the grain of salt it's offered with...

Give me a verbal nudge.... I may just get the giggles...

Really... who can affect somone's personal integrity, without one's permission?

Fran you can say whatever you want to , about me, my character, my beliefs, my understandings, and it wont make a dot of difference to me...

You are just being you... you cannot affect me...UNLESS I CHOOSE TO ALLOW IT.

And so I get the giggles, when someone wants to rattle my chain...

great way to look at it

If they really want help they should call a professional. This is not a help line, it is a social site. We are not prepared to help people with serious problems. And you don't have to read the pity threads but sometimes, the top five are all self pity threads from the same guy. Don't you think someone should at least try to tell him to knock it off? Not that he listens, but still. Are we supposed to pretend that his behavior is acceptable?

lol no but like you said...he doesn't listen

no - but I guess I kind of enjoy banging my head against the wall.
