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?

Hi folks. This does seem to be a bit of a TAAT and this sort of thing never ends well. OP - we've dropped you a line, but just to reiterate, do feel free to start a new thread on the same subject. It's an interesting discussion - we just think it's a debate better had without the very specific examples. We'll delete this one shortly.

Hi Just5. OK - that sounds like a good compromise. We'll give the OP a bit of a tickle and remove the first par. Thanks! As you were, everyone.
