I also enjoy reading your posts.

Sometimes it's cathartic to just pound it out and then delete it. I really mean POUND it out! ha! Sometimes I've pounded out a 'how I feel' post and then just discarded it, but it was nice to say it even though only I saw it. Smiley Happy

Re: Angry people of the Internet nowadays, Why?

One thing that has worked for me ( keeping me fairly (not completely) nice ) is that I don't keep track of who says what. That way, I'm not jaded against certain folks.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Look around you at the shape the world is in! Imo a person who is NOT angry is nuts!

I'm always looking for and thinking about solutions, though. Forever thinking of alternatives and resolutions..........It's in my nature. Well, in another life I might end up being an important decision maker.........Smile

I think a lot of people feel as if they have very little power in their real lives, and take it out anonymously on the web on strangers.

I think social media has opened up a whole new can of worms. People have found it a sounding board for frustrations where they can say what they would never say to someone face to face. Politeness and decorum are not required when you're anonymous.

LOL It is a great way to vent and not cause trouble, or get in trouble. Wink

I do it, too. A lot.

Just look at all the people who were nasty to Kurt Schilling's daughter on Facebook!

They posted terrible stuff under their own names with their own pictures!!!!
