[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This feels like a particular trigger of yours, which I get, but "hey that's a symptom of cancer" is pretty different than making fun of someone's income.[/quote]

Not really; there's a certain glee and tone-deafness in all of these comments. [/quote]

There's no glee in the comments you mention (which I didn't make for the record), which is why I think this is some kind of personal trigger for you that's keeping you from judging the comments accurately. They're dry and factual; so factual in fact that OP responds with a series of tests that have been done, in part to rule out bladder cancer. Had OP not had those tests, the comments would have been useful.

My perspective is this: I have recently had similar symptoms to OP. I did not come to DCUM, but if I had "hey maybe talk to your doctor about cancer" would have been potentially helpful advice that I would have appreciated getting, even if cancer is pretty unlikely. I would be pretty annoyed if the standard for discussion became "don't mention potentially serious diagnoses because that's cruel." It would make the boards less useful not more, unlike genuinely catty comments about income which don't add anything.[/quote]

I think there's a diplomatic way to phrase things; it's a lost art.[/quote]

DCUM posters like to be blunt because they are truth tellers. [/quote]

I love how the illusion of anonymity here prompts people to post their true, unsanitized opinions.

I hate heavy moderated online communities where any comment which causes some to take offense is deleted.

Honestly if snarky hot takes from random strangers on the internet hurt your feelings, it is on you to toughen up and re-evaluate your priorities in life. All adults should know that some people are mean jerks or mentally unwell and it’s of no importance to your life.

Disagree.

Many posters simply make sh&t up to bash someone who is struggling and pretend they "truth-telling". It is delusional.

Also any woman who has a problem with her husband is at fault, according to some. She should never have married him! Get a divorce immediately! Lol gmafb[/quote]

So much here is totally made up. So many lies. [/quote]
