Why Are Some Members Rude

I am sorry but when you bare your soul on a website, you open yourself up to other members making suggestions about how you could perhaps do things a little differently. To then get your panties all in a twist and give a rude response to the suggestions is counter productive.
While I am not blocking that particular member I have decided that I am through commenting and reading. Some people like the cycle of destructive behavior they are trapped in and they just want your sympathy not suggestions. Did I get a rude response, yes I did but so did other members who I know are good people.
So to this member who probably won't read this, I bid adieu and I go on my merry way commenting and reading other members who are not rude.

I only leave a snarky comment in return when I receive them, which I do from one person in particular. I deleted a couple of freaks on Bubblews, and blocked one here. You did the right thing in my book. I'm here to have fun and talk to my friends. Fortunately, we have a nice group of people here.

So what is up with that. You see this kind of behavior all the time. If your don't want my comments don't put your personal business out there. Some people just don't learn. I don't blame you at all for the way you feel Belle I feel the same. Ridiculous. Omg I just spelled ridiculous correctly for like the first time in my life without spell check. lol True story.

Something that I always remember is a required book for a college psych class. They called it the "Yes, but. . . " response. You get it from people who do not want help really but only want to make noise. Sounds like this one is very antagonistic too.

The response was more like I am a certain age I know what I want and need. I don't need YOUR advice. Well okay but your life sounds pretty screwed up thinks I. But I didn't say that, that would have been rude!! lol

@BelleStarr I totally agree with you there, When someone does that it making you think twice. I come here for company and enjoyment of reading about that's happening in other people's lives. I wouldn't like to be yelled at and would offended by it. I'm so sorry it's happened to you, you a lovely person and there is no need for anyone to be like that.

I think just like with text messaging it is sometimes hard to tell how someone means something through typing. Something I say as a joke could be taken the wrong way because you cant hear how the person is saying it. Then again I could be totally wrong here! Lol

I have had a couple of odd comments that I didn't know how to take, and when its written and not spoken, it leaves a lot to be desired.
I agree with you to just get along, our site is so much fun that we cannot allow just one member to weigh it down, easier to cut them loose and enjoy the rest of it. I do applaud you for recognizing it as opposed to keeping it inside.
Good decision here!

Some people are just here for the drama, as that is what gives them pleasure. It really makes no sense, but it does happen. Drama isn't necessary in here, as you can't have fun that way. I am here to have fun and interact, and when I see drama, I will ignore them too.

@BelleStarr You got that right. I hate drama, as it just causes problems for everyone concerned. I like to be happy and keep the peace in here, and I do the best I can to do that. Drama isn;t needed here, that is for sure.

Sorry that you had to go through all that. The best and most positive thing to do is just move on and let them be. I know it does affect one but then again, this is a place where people can put up anything they wish, so just take it as a stepping stone and smile on your way forward. Don't worry there are better people on here :)

I am not going to dwell on this but I felt I wanted to at least point out the need to be a little careful with how your comments sound and if you don't want advice then say that.

@BelleStarr And I think we have seen people who say that in their discussion. They say that they want to air the problem and are working on it and do not want suggestions. I think that is a better way to deal with it.

I have been online almost 20 years.In all these years I have read so much junk from people from all walks of life. So they say anyway.As for the most part people are very nice but then there is the one that wants to send others into a tailspin. The computer is a great way to be someone your not, to hide yourself. The ability to type gives some a power to create an evil side of themselves.Hiding behind the monitor lets the creep come out in them. They say things they would never say to anyone's face. A sad world when people have to let their alter ego take over. I think they truly are lonely people seeking attention. Very sad people are this way I just ignore them. It's not worth it.

I often wonder what makes a person get online and be so rude, and I have decided, they must have a terrible outside life. Poor them. This is the only fun they get. I do not who the person is, but yes, I would just ignore them, they are not worth the time it takes to type a response.

I never like to argue and I also don't like being told off so I think moving on and ignoring her is the best policy. Though I did get a sweet comment the other day, change of heart? Afraid it is only temporary!! lol

Experiencing it twice to yourself is acceptable. Seeing it from others at least twice is still acceptable. Those twice moments should have a noticeable gap in between. More than that occurrences, they should be blocked or be reported.
