I would amend this to say that any thread started to ask advice or opinions on any subject is considered an open invitation by the insult vultures to fly in and roost. They are delighted when they can form a group within the thread and will spend many happy hours attempting to shred people, make people doubt themselves, or feel bad about themselves; it's their part-time job/hobby.

I know I will think about this the next time I ever post anything.  I certainly did not mean anyone harm or would be able to sleep if I thought I had hurt anyone's feelings.  We never know what people are going through at home and what their personal lives are like.  I guess I should compliment the ones that defended my fiancee when they thought I had issues with her hoarding.  That could be considered kind.  There is good in everyone is you look hard enough (or I hope so).

To some extent, it depends upon the area you post in. You are most likely to be challenged and met with routine rudeness on a daily basis in Community Chat, less so in the other forums, but you never know when/where the Deliberate Downers will show up.

Thanks for the helpful tip.   I truly have never paid attention to what area I was in but will certainly do so in the future.  So you girls/guys have to go through this with often?  How sad life is.

Generally, those who post in CC know what they're getting into and can hold their own/ignore/pick their battles. The area Among Friends is mostly long-running threads with groups of people who have socialized with each other for a long time. The moderators also tend to come down harder on rudeness in Among Friends. CC is as "anything goes" as it gets on QVC forums.

moroco,

i apologize on behalf of any rude poster here because i have found you to be a very nice and polite person.  it is shameful behavior and there is no excuse for it. 

please don't allow posters who are rude to upset or chase you away.  they are not worth it. 

---

Ladyroxanne is a very good name for you.  You are certainly every inch a lady.  Thank you for your kind words.   Let us hope that we all can get along and if not IGNORE POSTS.  We need to use the manners we teach our children and I will include myself in that comment.  

---

I couldn't agree more, Ladyroxanne is a sweetheart!!  Lots of great people here.

---

You have made a very important statement.  The good people here certainly outweigh the rude pople.  You and all others have always been very kind and helpful.

I have reported this person to the moderators.

I certainly appreciate everyone's kind comments on ways to post here on the forums.

It is very kind of you to take the time out of your day to give such helpful advice, suggestions and motivation.  

QVC is kind enough to offer the forum to everyone that it would be very disrespectful not to be kind to others.  If I don't like a post, I am as usual, going to skip it and move on without any comments.  

You are some wonderful people here and again, thank you for helping me get my Christmas shopping done.  I find most people go out of their way to help others.  We do live in a world that has some good people in it.

I mean no offense by this comment, but, have you seen the roads with rudeness?  Those people are not anonymous, nor are the ones in grocery stores, retail stores and work.  Oh, I forgot the gym. Rudeness is "the new normal"

@Deanie

in my world i don't find that much rudeness.  maybe i lead a very sheltered life.  lol

i read that thread OP and to be honest no one was rude to you. one post was like, move along...yada yafa  hardly accusatory

i do wonder about clothing and interests in clothing and buying clothes shoes and accessories.

and you having to ask fiancee to attend therapy?   was therapy YOUR idea? do you think she will stop? she has to WANT to stop shopping!  unless she WANTS to stop it is very difficult to stop even after three pickup truckloads of donations to Sal

Best Wishes in the New Year!

The Q Talk and Suggestions Forums can have more than their share of "Slap Downs", on any given day, too. You never know what will cause some posters to go off!
