Okay, here goes -- I do not consider a beautiful setting like that to be "low brow". However, I do consider your remark to someone you don't know to be low life.
If you can't say something nice, please don't say anything at all.
@hellodali To refer to another human being as a low life, because they don't agree with the style depicted in a photo someone posted (which was not a photo from that person's home) is really indicative of a greater problem we are having these days. To follow it up by saying "if you can't say something nice, please don't say anything at all" is part of that problem. What I'm talking about is the harsh way that humans are jumping on humans who disagree with them with such anger and cruelty, and their inability to recognize their own hypocrisy in the process of that admonishment.
LADIES, this is a HOLIDAY chat board which should be a safe place to express an opinion without this kind of behavior. I've been here for 5 minutes and been called "uptight," "snob," "low life," all because I found a random photograph posted from the internet distasteful. It is ironic how my judgement of a random photo is unacceptable, but all of your cruel insults toward me, a human being, feel perfectly normal and acceptable to you.
@LolaLasagne
I don't think it was kind for others to insult you here the way they did, but it appears that you don't understand the definition of hypocrisy. Your original post was not just an expression of opinion—it was derogatory and contained mean-spirited judgments against others. In addition, you implied that you were taking the high road in later posts when what you were actually doing was setting up a channel for further critical commentary.
If you had simply noted that the original photo was not your style, or if you had just ignored this whole thread and moved on with your day when you discovered the topic was not to your liking, you could have avoided a lot of frustration and negativity.
Except this poster is looking for frustration and negativity.
I highly suspect this is the return of a particular poster who has been banned more than once in the past. The signs and the attacks are the same. It is a game 'she' plays, I guess because 'she' has nothing better to do.
Many people will let it pass as the post count makes it appear to be a 'new' poser, but trolls are trolls and while it is best not to feed them, I for one refuse to let someone come to what is virtually the kindest forum on these boards, and be rude, baiting and disruptive, without calling it out at least once. Obviously others felt the same.
These kinds of poster aren't about a differing opinion. They tend to latch on to being disruptive, but in the past, gets them banned repeatedly. Somehow they always make their way back, new nic, but same old game.
So on the (very) off chance this isn't the same poster 'reinvented', I think it was necessary for others to let this person know that this isn't how we roll here.
Harsh. That all started with ms. Lasagne's first post. And another poster calling 'her' behavior low life is actually spot on, considering the first post and it's true intent and actual words.
There is sharing opinions and then there is being inflammatory and looking for discord.
I think we all know which this was and how it was all intended.
Enough said.
