[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually find it puzzling that people post on an anonymous forum and think everyone will be supportive.  If you want to hear the answers you want to hear, ask your friends in real life.

I think there is a subset of comments that genuinely get mean and are inappropriate but a lot of times people are very directly and kindly telling the truth.  I think women are not used to this in real life since we can lack directness face to face.[/quote]

NP. There is some truth to this, but I don't think OP is talking about the comments that are direct and kind, but just disagreeing or seeing things another way. A lot of posters on here think they are "telling the truth" but are doing it in such a spiteful, mean way. Often you can tell that what is actually happening is that they are offended or defensive about some aspect of what is being asked or discussed, and lashing out to protect their egos.

You see this often in the parenting threads, and in relationships. Many posters are quick to jump all over the OP and it is not done in a direct and kind way. It's done with meanness.[/quote]

I agree and it's also often done with a huge number of assumptions that aren't supported by the OP's post.[/quote]
