People on this site..

Has there ever been someone on here that you actually let get to you?? I mean, someone so full of bitterness that it actually affects you?? I just did..Now I am letting it go. Stupidity is so frustrating. I can handle ignorance, not really their fault..but just plain stupidity......OMG

Honey...Bitter People are the ones who never saw how they contirbuted to their own downfall....They never see "It Coming"...and then BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM The train hits them broadside....

I was at one time in one of those train wrecks... I managed to
get a grip and not Hate the F*cking World and realized that my Obliviousness...enabled the problem....

I now am living with my Eyes Wide Open...

Let's hope the other can see clearly now ;)

Oh whatever.

Just because you don't like someone's opinion does not mean a damn thing to us. Yes, there are some stupid people here, but also some smart ones.

Obviously someone said something to you that you didn't like. If it was so stupid, why not just ignore it and let it go? Did it strike a chord of truth with you? Is THAT why you're so pissed off? Any why should we care what makes you mad or glad? Or if you're letting it go? News flash, I don't give a damn.

One more thing, how do we even know that they are the stupid one? Just because you come here claiming to be a fountain of patience dealing with everyone's ignorance and stupidity doesn't mean it's true lol. That's usually said by morons who think they are smarter than everyone else.

Several people. One called me horrible names and cussed me out for practically no reason. He was so mean, obscene, and rude to me that I have him permanently blocked. I don't think he's on the site any longer though. Others I just ignore.

No.

I saw early on when I joined that there were belligerent people on here. There are a few who PM me nasty things, and I just ignore them. I feel no need to defend myself or say nasty things back. It's a waste of time, and I could care less what some stranger on the internet says about me.

I've made a lot of good friends on here, and I've actually learned alot...even from those with differing opinions.

Just ignore them, and you'll enjoy your time on the site a lot more. ;-)

Sure

But but after a period of time, you will come to realize that getting worked up over someone you don't know or will never meet does not make sense.

Not often, but it has happened. Then I take a deep breath and reminds myself that its silly to argue on the internet and that people who are jerks here probably have a really problematic life.

Not bitterness, but some of those in emotional pain have "gotten" to me. I want to kiss them all and make it better.

Here in is the real issue. Most people here want others to kiss their ass. I don't and don't care, so it is nearly impossible for me to get upset over any of this.

Too many people go with the flow of what is politically or popularly correct and this skews the way they think \and how it is in real life.

I've been here for almost 2 years. I've met and conversed with many wonderful and warm people. Even though we don't always share the same viewpoint. :)

There will always be the nasties. I choose to not answer the nasties, and when they pm me privately, I just ignore them.

My experience here has been great, which is why I keep coming back!! :)

No, can't say I've ever let it "get to me" beyond a quick "what an ass" reaction. I dont' take online stuff personally, and I dish it just as much, so I have no right to get pissed when I get it back.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupidity and it tends to run rampant here. The only ones that get to me are the young [18-21] and idealistic with their less than practical illogical arguments... but then I remember myself at that age and how convinced I was about everything. Then I just smile.....

I'm sure someone on here got under my skin but I don't think they're on here any longer. Some people want to hear what they want to hear, and that isn't necessarily the truth. Their problem. Best to do what you're doing and let it go.

People on here are weird. I was talking to someone casually and they flipped over something stupid. It was odd and uncomfertable. I don't trust internet people.

There are two people who come to mind (I won't say who). One in particular attacked me and others and I let it bother me. I formed a response in my mind and ended up sending it. Also, there was one additional person (who no longer comes here thank goodness), who targeted me for his hate campaign and I gave it right back to him. But I felt terrible because I am not normally a person who does that (even if they deserve it).

Now and again a post will annoy me, especially those misogynist ones who hate women and sprout their stupidity. But I don't even bother giving them any attention.

Totally, there are a few that I wouldn't piss on fire to put them out. There is a big difference from kissing someone's ass and being a decent person. Decency is not telling someone they are spineless and sensitive when you point out they are being unnecessarily rude. Decency is not insulting someone if they word a question weirdly, or don't share the same views... Sheesh, there are some people on here(some old enough to be my grandparents) that don't have any kind of manners or decency... I know their parents taught them better than that.

None so far, but sometimes I'm surprised by how some people can be negative and only focus on the not-so-good side of the issue, or are quick to judge and instead of answering the question, just insult the 'asker' or the person being asked about the by the 'asker'.

I've been on several sites like this, and they are mainly frequented by those with very liberal viewpoints. All sites have one or two people who post garbage just to pull your chain. But there is one person on here who always seems to have such negative posts.. and normally will rate you 0 or lower if your answer does not match their warped view of the world.

Truthfully? I have noticed that there are some totally venomous and bitter people on this site whose rants are just so totally undignified as to to an affront to any measure of civility. I have also been e-mailed by such miscreants. They don't bother me since those people are just too pitiful for words.

I've met a lot of ignorant people on this site: I think that people who believe I should be obligated to answer in a certain way because of my gender / sex aren't worth an answer. But believe me, I get a LOT of hate mail from these types. It's gotten to the point where I think twice about opening email from people I don't know--because these lunatics create whole new identities in order to insult me after I have them banned.

It's not my fault that some animals are stupid and misogynistic. I don't have to talk to them. So, if you mean essentially the same thing that I do, I urge you to take my tactic: ban them. Chronic flamers have to have a response of some kind, so if they realize they're not getting it from you, they'll leave you alone.

I know what you mean. Having opinions is all well and good, but it doesn't make for a very interesting discussion if that's all someone has. I've had a few "conversations" with people who just kept restating their opinions, without explaining them or showing any indication that they had understood my criticisms. After a few exchanges I just block them. Life is too short.
