Ok getting a little frustrated

I have noticed a pattern this week.

Is everyone on their period or something? Positivity people!! Support!!

Thats why I like to discuss things here. Thats why I am here all day while at work because it helps me stay away from snacking badly. A good distraction or whatever..lol.

I don't mean to sound like a b u no what..lol. But people please cheer up and treat folk with a little more empathy.

This is not directed at everyone, just a certain few.

If you feel yourself getting upset..back away from the keyboard and take a deep breath!! lol

Never write a reply in anger and post it. I think thats the rule for e-mails and texts right? So why doesn't that apply here?

For those of you who get offended by this..im sorry. I just need a positive place to be so that I stay positive through my journey. Sometimes I might find myself being negative so when not if that day comes. Please help me..lol.

Thanks guys and gals..Love ya!!

And its not like I don't look at some posts or replies and think 'wtf? this is stupid. I just don't say anything if I don't think that I can type a rebuttal and be polite.

(sorry another thought crept in lol)

Amen.

...Assuming one of the people this refers to isn't me : )

Fair enough. Sometimes I'd like to post but I'm afraid I'd get attacked so I don't.

 No not at all. I think venting your frustrations is essential to stress relief. Its just the people who get their panties in a bunch..or take something personal, or is just plain throwing negativity that p!5535 me off..lol.

Negative ppl suck..lol..just as bad as mean ppl!!!!

I'm right with you. Read my last journal entry.

It's getting sickening. The pissy miscomprehension of posts is undermining the sense of community and support that could exist otherwise.

Shag all of this... I was attacked this week - not my opinions - but my personality - I was publically called a misogynist - personal attacks - the lowest form of crap on a board - my positivity was stomped on - as far as I'm concerned I'm due an apology.  

I am a bitter person right now.

 Ok i understand where your coming from. I read the post you are referring to. As a person not involved i have to tell you the truth.

You responded to a negative with a negative. Instead of ignoring that person or explaining that is not what you meant POLITELY..you told her to GET BENT..lol. While hilarious, it wasn't the proper way to handle the situation.

I honestly think that you were trying to help the girls self-esteem but instead it was interpreted that you were being a pervert. They mauled you for it..i get why your bitter. Just take it as a lesson and move on. Learn from it. If you can't then I really think that might be your problem and not theirs.

Just giving my honest opinion. So don't jump down my throat..mmmk?

You're right - and I apologize to you.   But not to them.  They don't realize that calling someone a misogynist is the same as calling someone fat, or ugly, or racist - it is plainly bad - it might be worse.

That said, I like what you are promoting here - it's cool.  I should think more about what I post before I post it.  And positive thinking is a blessing.  Thanks for reminding me of that as well.
