@Isobel Archer

I agree with you. I also notice that some posters will go after certain individuals who say the same thing that other posters have stated but only single that person out.

@lgfan  I've observed the same, with one particular poster, usually in the beauty forum.  If you didn't agree with her she would do her best to annihilate you. I've been on the receiving end a few times.  She's been gone for a number of months and it's a much nicer atmosphere there these days.

That exact thing happened recently on a JohnnysBro thread. 

 

On thread after thread that gets created, most say the same thing countless times in response. 

 

I said something pretty benign and a poster singled me out with a nasty comment. 

 

Her post got deleted though and not by me, so it didn't do her much good.

Is it scolding or opinion?

Unfortunately it has been the case. I don't have an answer for that, but I can say that some on here are sweet, kind and friendly, and others....not so much. I agree with you....if someone asks a question, they hope for input, an answer, an opinion, and not to be criticized.

  This is an opinion board. Of course, if you ask a question or make a comment people are going to chime in on both sides of the issue. I don't think most of us expect people to agree with us.But I do think that you can state an opposing view without being nasty or condescending.

 

 If you can't be civil then you should move on & not comment at all. A few years ago, I jumped in to defend someone against a nasty poster. I said that we are all friends here & we should consider others feelings when posting. Well the nasty poster turned on me & said that no one on this board was her friend & that she wasn't here to make friends.

 

 It's pretty clear to me that some people are unhappy & find joy in hurting others. When we respond to posters, we don't know if they're stable or troubled.I would hate to think that some nasty response deeply affected someone. Kindness goes a long way.

Some of us are disliked by a few posters and our posts annoy them, a lot. There's something pleasing in knowing that.

I agree with you.  There are some posters just waiting to pounce on comments made by certain posters.  Sometimes it feels like they are lurking in the dark just waiting to strike.Smiley Very Happy
