To remember NNs of MNers posting unpleasant things most clearly?

Is it a recognised psychological phenomenon? Do we remember bad things better?

I've just realised I still remember which MNer said women should pick partners more carefully to avoid DV (years ago), the types who always sneer at tenants, or seem to have it in for the disabled.

But when I think of compassionate MNers that I like and clearly have a range of life experience informing their empathy, I mainly remember biographical details and great posts but not NNs so much. (DawnDonnaAgain, HelenaDove and maybe two others that I'm not even completely sure of pop into my head as exceptions.)

Is there something wrong with the way my memory works?

I often hide threads mid way through. I sometimes post a question then realise I don't actually care that much and hide the thread.
I never unhide threads. I just forget about them.

lighthousewiththeghost It's quite a shame really that we can't name and shame for fear of being deleted - it's permissible to praise those who we are in agreement with so why doesn't the opposite apply?
In all my time on this site I've come across those that disagree with me which is fair enough and found it very interesting to read their POVs but there is one particular poster who I can not stand. She is awful through and through. She tries to come across as light-hearted but she's genuinely awful. Anyway I've had too much wine now I should log off for the evening.
