[quote=Anonymous]Maybe I've been aged out of DCUM but I've been really disappointed with some of the posters on DCUM lately. The mean way in which posters have ridiculed,  derided,  mocked and belittled the posters on the "my husband is taking unpaid leave" and "why has my post been deleted" threads is nothing less than cruel. To be honest it comes across like bullying on the playground. The bullies find a "weakness" in their victim and proceed to make that person's life a misery on account of that weakness.   Then, when the person being bullied reacts and lashes out, the bullies run to teacher (in this case Jeff) and report the victim, getting them into trouble or in this case try to get them thrown off DCUM or get their posts deleted. 
I find the attacks on those OP's posts to be very juvenile and mean. I can't imagine anyone I know behaving like this either IRL or anonymously.  The relentless mocking and nastiness is only understandable ( not excusable) in children who do not fully understand the effect of their behavior on others and the consequences or indeed go not realize how cruel they are being.

Do the mocking posters really think its ok to be so nasty? Even if you think the OPs of the threads "deserved" what they got? Would you be okay if your kids behaved this way regardless of the reason? How many of you have come to DCUM worried that your kids are being bullied, treated unkindly? Would you be okay with your kids being treated the way you are treating those posters if they brought it on themselves as it were?  I have to say that I'm really baffled.

Flame away!!
