Re: the problem with this forum
Believe it or not, some people have the ability to tell a story based on the circumstances in their entirety and without disregarding self-incriminating points. If a poster does want honest answers they would tell the whole story, even if that makes them seem not so great. I have done this before, even if that led people to point fingers at me. Why? Because at least there’s honesty there.
And that’s the beauty of sharing things online. Sometimes you’re not so willing to reveal all aspects of a situation to friends because you don’t want to share the humiliating/difficult to deal with parts.
The point is that whatever people do decide to share, they expect to get honest, helpful, thought-out, and appropriate/relevant responses. But when people post annoying, hateful comments and are unnecessary/rude, it’s just pathetic and wrong.
It’s common sense: don’t reply to a thread unless you have something meaningful to contribute. Some forum members need to learn this.
