SoCalLynn Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 on any forum I've ever been on. Seriously, some of you will argue over the word "the." You post your opinions about things that haven't been asked, and then wonder why others take offense or call you out on it, and then, oh boy! watch out for the claws. Best wishes. I will not be back.

mamaraby Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Isn't this the same poster who walked into the thread where someone was looking for conservative news sources and then picked a fight with the posters who had tried to help?

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 From the Community Guidelines: Don't announce that you're leaving and never coming back Posts along the lines of "I'm not appreciated here, so I'm leaving" really aren't necessary. If you post something like that, know that we'll be deleting it. It's not that we don't appreciate you ... we just don't appreciate those posts.

Flowing Brook Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I have actually found people on this board to be very compassionate. Often times people disagree however I don't think as a general rule anyone means to be hurtful. Disagreeing is fine. Expressing a different viewpoint is fine. I don't think people are being rude I think it is just that when it is online instead of in person it sometimes comes across differently than is meant. Please, stick around and see if possibly you might be misunderstanding people. Whatever you decide I wish you the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idnib Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 From the OP, it sounds like she's mad about how the news thread referenced earlier went down. Do you mean the part where she didn't realize Washington Post and WSJ are both considered conservative news sources, so she got angry with someone for suggesting them, while also suggesting the OP consider different angles? ETA: That was a few days ago. I wonder what happened in the meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 From the OP, it sounds like she's mad about how the news thread referenced earlier went down. But that was drama from last week.......

Kari C in SC Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well, I have no idea what got her going, but I have been on this forum for 10 years and believe there are some of the most kind,caring and helpful people here. Do I agree with everyone and everything? Nope! But that is just how life works. When my oldest son died, the amount of love that I felt was amazing. Kind words, gifts for my kids, many donations and even somebody that traveled to my son's funeral. So, patootie on anyone who says people are nasty here!
