to think that some people on mn come across as really agressive, nasty and mean

Not been on mn very long and have not seen all the previous posts that have gone on - but i think we should be allowed to express our views on subjects (that may already have been covered) without people swearing and making snide remarks about other posters. It just makes me feel a bit reluctant to post anything else and I can't believe I am the only one to feel like this.

Yes, some posters on here are rather aggressive. I can be aggressive on occasion, but I don't think I'm nasty or mean. The triple -whammy takes a bit of doing.

I don't avoid those I dislike. I optimistically assume that there will be one thread, somewhere, where we're on complete agreement.

To date, this has always proved the case.

harpsichordcarrier · 09/08/2007 22:55

I don't find that tbh littlelapin I generally kiss and make up after a row.

StarryStarryNight · 09/08/2007 22:56

Some appear rude, yes, some very opinionated, I sometimes appear grumpy. I have been told. Fair enough, I apologised. I dont avoid posters (aside from one).

However, I do the opposite, I sometimes go on a thread just to see what that particular person has to say about whatever subject is being discussed (mostly because they have proved wells of wisdom in the past)

I think a lot of so called hard nosed bitchiness is due to busy-ness, impatience, lack of ability to PR your own personality, and the tendency of the internet to depersonalise a conversation - we tend to forget we are talking to real people!

Twinklemegan · 09/08/2007 22:56

I can't HC, I'm still extremely upset. Wouldn't be hard to find it though would it?

EscapeFrom · 09/08/2007 22:57

And all the people who say they don't avoid posters, aside from one, is it all the same one?

nightowl · 09/08/2007 22:57

in my old age i think i am getting soft because i just tried to think of someone on here i didnt like and i couldnt name anyone.

i only thought of one person...and that is a rl grudge. some folks annoy me..but not to the extent i'd worry about it.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/08/2007 22:57

A dirty word

And for this gift I feel blessed
