    In my rather short experience here, most people on this site don't want anyone to disagree with them about anything or question anything they say. There is very little debate or discussion here. It's usually "agree with me". (period)

    Even those that seem to relish being called mean, and claim only to be offering "tough love" get very defensive and accusatory if you question anything they say or offer a different opinion.

    I disagree completely. Everyone here is so open-minded, so I can't even understand where you are coming from or why you would say such a thing.

    I can't believe this thread is a year old. The mean people threads are usually nuked within 24 hours.

    Nuke is kinda a mean thing to do.

    Stupid mean people exist everywhere. The reason I live such a stress free life is that I don't pay attention to them. As the old saying goes, "You can't fix stupid." Well, you can't make a mean person nice either. Just will not happen. So I ignore them and live my life in the opposite way.

    I will say however, that the only people that do get under my skin are those who complain about something, don't do their part to change the situation and continue to complain. But again, it's not worth my time to engage those people.

    It's amazing how great life can be when you ignore those who try to break you down.

    Ironically, you are not complaining about anything here, are you?

    they are trolling. they want to stir the pot, upset people, make people angry or offended.. it's for their own amusement. best thing to do is ignore them, because any response you give will just feed into their MO. I've noticed that more and more people are doing this in the last few years. not only on this site, but on the internet in general. it's sad that so many more people find more joy in trying to hurt others than those who find joy in helping others. it's a disturbing trend. PS: you will never see me post a stupid gif, mocking people or belittling ANYONE on here. Bullying and/or exploiting people is super bad karma.

    Ya, some threads/posters need to be ignored. They're on here for different reasons than we are. There's a lot of safety in anonymity.

    I agree here, why feed the hate or 'rude' people ;-/
