I remember 3 threads (mine was one of them) where the OPs were attacked and piled on unmercifully. The "opinions" given seemed to be agreed upon according to friendships, were far from kind, and were delivered with a shove it down your throat mentality. And even after a couple practically pegged posters to stop, they were made fun of through cruel icons and pictures.
After that I could see why no one out of the loop would want to post anything of substance anymore.
This drips with victim mentality.
Like DF I also just roll with the punches.
If it gets to a certain point I just stop responding to a person.
I don't miss the overly-sensitive who have left. You know what they say, if you can't take the heat ...
I'd much rather have a forum that's jumping, interesting and challenging.
How many baskets of puppies can you say Aww! for?
What did you expect ... starting a thread on children on leashes?
My dear Kenny. You are misunderstanding my response. The thread question asked - Why is ebay so slow. Of course, you would rather have a jumping, interesting forum. Well, sane people who have so many other options out there, apparently do not want to deal with bullies. And, in those instances, you did not get your own memo to know when to stop taunting. So they left.
As far as a victim mentality, I worked in the public school system at the middle school level. Nothing anyone on here can throw at me to top that. But like other apparently missing posters, we have found other places where we can participate in stimulating conversations without the drama. Might be the reason why those places are still very busy!
Great.
Everyone is where they like to be.
Dear?
ebay?
bullies?
getting memo?
taunting?
drama?
Can't you just post without the garbage?
What you write will be more powerful when you don't resort to that stuff.
