Re: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

[ Edited ]

@Shanus   Deep sigh here.  I do agree with you wholeheartedly. I have been on these forums since they were launched. It was a totally different world, it was 90's, and I think people were kinder, more tactful. At least when speaking with others, lol.  There were kerfuffles, lol. but generally it was nice. I know so many long time posters I still keep in touch with (as we exchanged emails then)they no longer post here because of negative nastiness.  I even took 2 year break. I think  posters who are nasty about others, post negatively about others all the time don't even realize how mean it is. They just don't. But, pick and choose I guess. There is a lot to choose from here.  I hoping for a renaissance of realization, and kindness will follow.  I always think, when it comes to posting about others, some things better left said. I am hopeful things will change.

This is exactly why I took a 6-month break from the forums this past year.  It's just so energy draining.  After only being back for a few months, I'm thinking of taking another break, but then I miss the beauty forum too much to stay gone forever.  Even on that forum threads become mean.  I just don't need that ****** in my life.  If y'all don't see me after the holidays, this is why.

 

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

@SurferWife I agree with this.  

 

Please don't let a few minor posts upset you.  It's like getting 50 compliments but there will be someone who will point out your flaws that tends to stick.  Don't let it.

As normal a thread, which was the basis for this one, has been deleted.

@Shanus It is odd to be embarrassed for people you don't know. If you don't watch QVC, why would you read the forum posts? The moderators get paid to decide what is appropriate although many posters think they know better.
