no wonder these forums are dropping

you know i first came in these posts and it was pretty much brimming with people. I noticed there are far less and i am begining to see why. Far too many people here are mean and insulting and when you show any sort of emotion back they try to ridicule you for it and then deny they hold and anger in return. Its like people trying to cover up their own stink and desperatley trying to find faults in someone else. I had one guy try to critisize me for using LOL while he at the same time used smiley laughing emodes. wtf.
I had a post i was trying to just get my message out that people should be aware that their can be negative results from smoking pot and i was called ignorant and a hypocrite and as soon as i was insulting back i was critisized for being insulting . wtf. I was like jeez just because you have a drug problem why do you have to attack me??
Anyway i am beginning to see allot of the more outspoken ones in these posts are nothing more than a annoyance when i could be doing more studying and less concern over people that have enough malice that they sit there are try to pick you apart because you disagree with them.
What a joke.
So maybe if people lighten up in here maybe you'll get a better population, but until then you don't have to wonder why more people are hitting these posts.
I am out cya

He didn't ridicule you...but the general use of lol since it obviously is in most cases not true.

And actually everything you say mostly applies to you, too.

ahh it happens,forget about it.

you can't expect everyone to like you and agree with your opinions. Some will some won't deal with it.

I didn't read the thread in question, but I know from quite a couple years of experience that you will always disagree with certain people here. Just because some are harsh and mean is no reason to leave. I'm sorry you feel that way moviejunkie, but if you feel you must do that, then by all means feel free.

noooo..don';t kill yourself ;p
just stay out of the otf....and places where drama queens usually lurk 😉

I agree with Dexx his wise words

Or just get used to the fact that people aren't required to agree with you 😉 and don't take things so personally.

Its the same with any comunity as it gets larger. Elastic band effect leik.

well thank you fire 😄

In an open forum, you can't expect to post something and not get a reaction, be it positive or negative. Sometimes I think my post show a hint of intelligence, sometimes a hit of sarcasm and sometimes I call people on posting something that I disagree with.

In return I have been attacked, insulted and debated with. As much as I love a good debate I am not a huge fan of being insulted, however that was the risk I took when posting and I have to learn to deal with it or leave.

You have the same option MJ. However, I will say that continually airing your beefs or complaints about particular members and trying to mask them in a general complaint is not only going to incur the wrath of the members who are annoying you, but will also turn other members against you as it sounds rather whiny and childish.

As much as I'd like everyone to be respectful of one another, it isn't going to happen. Even I have posted kneejerk reactions (or even well thought out replies) directed to members who have annoyed me or my personal sensibilities. There are members here who's attitudes or posts annoy me, but I either ignore them or debate it, sometimes it may burst into a minor flame war, such is life.

I won't comment on my personal views on your posts be they negative or positive. What I will say is that if you can't deal with how people may react to what you say, than don't say anything.

Kharma had to show off with a big post again 😛

Is very usual to receive criticism from others. And most of it is base on personal opinion. I giving criticism before and receive it at the same time. And I will admit I've come close to calling people names, but then again I restrict myself from doing such a dumb action. If you feel you're being offended make a report and the mods will look it up. Just be patient with other people's comments. Disagreements are bound to happen in a discussion.

Now that was just mean.

just kidding KD

I figured 😉

I think it's just cause summer is here for a lot of people.. a week or two more and I'm outta here too.

Movie Junkie, I'll put this as polite as I can.

You come into threads ill-informed and pointlessly not accepting anything anyone else says unless they agree. You fail to contribute to any of the major debates, you just pop at people when you are out smarted or out debated, such as you did with PVS and I.

Then you turn it into blatant verbal abuse of which there is no need.

The reason this forum is going down the drain is because of people like you.
