Do you ever wonder what possesses people to go off on a message board? It seems like the same individuals just go crazy or rude or psycho when some random comment is made. I mean if people are like that in real life I don't need friends like that. Check out the old board for today's drama.

It's probably something happening in their real life. I know I have done off on message board friends because I am stressed over my real life and it is easier to yell at people on the internet that you have never met then it is to get into it with people you have to see every day. Sometimes the stress just sits there and finally someone online says something to set it off and you just blow. I think it is just a coincidence that they blow up online.
Of course some people just like to take out their frustrations online.

you are probably right, they must be under stress for something in their real life. It just seems that there are a lot of cat fights on certain boards.

I haven't looked at the old board yet. Who is even still posting there??? But yeah it's pretty crazy when people just freak out on a board. Ofcourse in the past I have participated in some of that drama too but I don't think I have ever started it myself. I can't even answer for myself tho why I cared to be involved in it at all. Maybe sometimes you just *think* you know someone on a board and then they reveal some new layer of their psycho personality that hurts others feelings and if you are alrerady stressed in your real life then you get sucked into it. I'm so glad that we have not been involved in any board drama recently!

I agree - I have never been one to start any drama. I usually just sit back and read it. But it devalues the whole board in my opinion.

It was stupid but I can see her doing that. She is also the one that gives her child a cold bath if they are bad. Nothing surprises me anymore.
