Do you not feel the need to steer clear of some BF threads now though VVQV?
after a while it just gets to the point where your just tired of defending your position.
I havent even been here that long.
If i am honest i feel so deflated after this weeks threads. between 2shoes thread and the charlotte Wyatt thread i feel utterly depressed.
I am astounded that i can be made to have real emotions by looking at a pc screen, when i cam eon mn i think i posted somnething along the lines of " its just words on a screen and doesnt affect me" PAH!!
as i said earlier i dont think a passworded section is the way to go...its not just the SN sections that gets used for ignorant rantings.
certain BF threads, lunchboxes and even play euipment threads have resulted in carnage on occasion.
this goes far deeper than SN. this is about a lack of respect for the feelings of other posters. that people forget that behind each post is a real person who has posted real emotions and sometimes real life experiances and the pain connected with that.
the vast majority of MN are fantastic supportive people who will go out of their way to help a fellow poster. some of the stories i have seen of how MNers have helped others are incredibly touching.
but ihave no idea as to how we go about getting rid of teh vile minority...or even how we work out which are the vile minoirty and which are just illiterate but passionate posters who hold opposing views to our own.
all i know is that this last week MN has done the complete opposite of what i come on here for. I have felt sadened and even depressed by some of teh posts i have read. whatever we do decide i think we need to do something.
