Personalities

I never saw this board as the conflict-driven place others see. I just saw differences of opinion and high spirits. I guess it depends on each poster's personality--what they see. What do you think?

Really? This should go well.

Diffferences of opinion and high spirits doesn't include cruelty or blatantly telling posters, they don't even know how they should act and bow down to their opinion that outweighs everyone else's with the excetption of those that agree and are just as bad. I think for the most part everyone that posts are really nice and caring people but there are a few exceptions to the rule.. I am a survivor of said attacks.. but the worse one was a remark made about my only child..

I wonder about anyone who would be unable to recognize the conflict that has historically existed on this board and has been poorly monitored by QVC. I think those who complain about the increase in monitoring now are those who know they will now have to mind their manners or will be asked to leave.

That is horrible , children should be off limits, That has been the rule here among posters since I've been here. Although I'm sure those word hurts, feel sorry for the person who said it, They are not a person worth thinking about.

Thank you, nunya, like I said, I've forgiven but I won't forget. I learned a lesson that day, don't come on here with a hurting heart and try to find some consolation.

I have to admit, I am a fast reader and fact oriented person. I did skip over quite a bit of meaningless snark. Just me. Oh, and I rarely remembered the name of a poster. Maybe I am an odd duck.

I have seen and been subject to some very snarky comments here. They are usually by the same few posters. So, OP, it's not a matter of opinion it's fact. Fortunately these nasties are the minority. Most posters here are kind and smart. The IGNORE option is much needed.

There have been MANY meaningless, unnecessary attacks on various posters during the almost three years I've been here. And sometimes it's because of something as simple as posting a dissenting opinion about anything from clothing to current events. I've received some of it...

There have also been threads with pages and pages AND PAGES of fights between posters that really got ugly, took the entire thread completely off track, so no one wanted to post any more about the originator's subject.

The things that I've seen, read, and interpreted here from time to time were not due to my personality. My interpretation was due to common sense and the ability to comprehend the written word.

Thankfully, and probably mainly due to stricter moderation and/or because there are posters that I don't see here anymore, I haven't seen much confrontation lately.

What always amazed me was how many people got drawn in by negative comments and really hurt or offended by them. To me, the personalities and hi-jinks here have always been a lot of the fun. There's no question that some posters "crossed the line" at times........but I chose to take most posts as high-spirited humor and discussion. I never could understand why anyone would allow comments by anonymous posters on a public chat board to really get under your skin! Truly offensive posts (bad language, racial comments, etc.) were usually scrubbed by Webbie........and other than that, why all the fuss? I hope they didn't tear up these very enjoyable forums because a few posters were overly sensitive and thin-skinned!

When posters really misbehaved, everyone could see it and either respond or put them on ignore (where is that function now?).........and think poorly of them, which was punishment enough. I don't like intentionally mean-spirited posts, but I think over-editing and over-controlling will make these boards a less enjoyable place.
