I appreciate your thoughts, ShellBell and I think ktlynam gave you a great answer. She is right ....you have to know how to deal with a wide variety..... Staying here could be a good way to do that or not. I suspect that many of us who stay have been to the school of "hard knocks" with one or more of these "characters" in their own every day lives and are not too shocked by them. Life is a great teacher and you can learn a lot from both the nice and the not so nice. I welcome your posts and hope you will consider staying

Why....thank you, jubilant!

ShellBell.......I like your honesty here.......

Don't believe I have ever posted with you since you signed on......But, there are many of us that don't understand some of the folks on these threads. Let me say this, there are many very nice folks on here......and you will be able to figure out who they are after you have been posting for a while. And would like to say I hope you will give us a chance.........

Just have to tell you, there have been many many times I have wanted to leave here, but I have some very close friends on here now, and would miss them tremendously. Not everyone will get along on here.....Believe me, I have had my problems here, and still do, but do hope that things are on a better path now. If and when it does occur again, I can ignore or else do what I do a lot of the time, just sign out.......

I don't see the point of a thread if everyone is going to agree with it except for maybe a few.

Your name is rather new but you don't seem to be a new poster.

And as it has said many times before qvc was never cvn. Qvc acquired cvn and then the name cvn wasn't used anymore.

Welcome, Shellbell!

You'll find on any social media there will be opposing views and, unfortunately, some negativity. We all have the choice to respond in a way that's respectful to others even when we disagree, but in my opinion taking time to be more careful and courteous is harder than quick, harsh retorts. It's pretty easy to spout off in an unkind manner ... restraint and thoughtful words take more time and effort, in my opinion.

The hostility and rude remarks? Ironically, they backfire. If you pay attention, they tell us everything about the insulter and nothing about the person they intended to demean.

For me, the opposing views are welcome. I've said it before here, there's a quote that says something to the effect:

"I never learn anything new by surrounding myself with people who always agree with me."

DooBdoo: I like that quote and have posted it. A good reminder, for sure!

Thanks, ROMARY! You're such a sweet, kind, thoughtful person.

Oh, thank you, but not always......Have to work on that!

As in many aspects of encounters in life, there are always a few weeds in the garden. You can pluck them or ignore them. But most of the posters here are funny nice and informative. I do not participate in the contentious ones but then sometimes the most innocent of comments become a big whoo ha brawl. Go figure.
