LMAO that was me. I also once said in a thread about baking that "biscuits can go fuck themselves" and someone got a big kick out of that. Those 2 positive comments helped counteract the occasional "You need to learn to read" that I've gotten from time to time when I've disagreed with what someone has said. Funny how disagreement on DCUM = not knowing how to read.

I remember that and LOVED IT! Hahaha

It is endless. Sadly, when we feel it is okay to treat people like crap--even anonymously--we all lose a bit of our humanity. So what if someone holds an opinion different than your own, chooses to spend their money differently, lives in a different zip code, or shops at stores you detest. The negative energy we put out in the world affects us all and I imagine that the intolerance we see on this board creeps into life in the real world. People who are secure in themselves, happy in their lives, and comfortable in their opinions have no need to denigrate others. What a sad statement internet forums tell about our society.

I agree 100%. It's time to change the tide here. The internet CAN change but it has to be done one community at a time. Why can't this community lead the way? Do we have the courage to take on that responsibility? Will the leaders of this community have the courage to do the work to support it?

I think the insults are quite funny an wouldn't want to see them disappear. Pp, recommend yoga if you need more peaceful/ happy " spread the light" vibes.

The Cruelty Crisis: Bullying Isn't a School Problem, It's a National Pastime (and 100% tolerated here. IF DCUM ISN'T PART OF THE SOLUTION IT IS PART OF THE PROBLEM).

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ordinary-coura...l-problem-its-national-pastime


Poignant excerpts from the article:

Exclusion, humiliation, gossiping, name-calling, and cutthroat alliances - we can't get enough! We panic when these behaviors are directed at our own children and we express outrage when the consequences turn deadly, but over the past few years we, the adults, have turned cruelty into entertainment and sport.

As our fear, uncertainty, and feelings of vulnerability increase, cruelty becomes an acceptable way for us to discharge our pain and discomfort. Rather than doing the difficult work of embracing our own vulnerabilities and imperfections, we expose, attack, or ridicule what is vulnerable and imperfect about others

Courage and compassion are not ideals; they are daily practices. The TV shows that we allow in our homes, the way we discuss politics and social issues, the way we handle altercations at the grocery story - these are choices with real consequences. Bullying is a serious problem in schools, but we are all accountable for the cruelty crisis that is fueling these behaviors. The answer to the bullying problem starts with this question: Do we have the courage to be the adults that our children need us to be?

Cruelty should not be used as entertainment.

"Where is DH in all of this?"

That one drives me nuts. It's not an insult, really, although it does usually imply the OP married a loser.
