You know...I've only been here a short while relatively speaking. And in that short time, I've really tried to avoid getting involved in the nastiness that can go on. I've tried to post things that will make people laugh or smile and I think, for the most part, I've succeeded. The fact that I now find myself debating whether or not to continue participating on the boards because some people have absolutely no sense of humor troubles me. We are all adults here...or at least we should be based on the rules set forth by the site. Therefore, I think it will be quite sometime before I post something other than a friggin' smiley face from now on.

    Don't let anyone change you. Be who you are and to hell with those that are so miserable that they can't laugh... I am most happy just amusing myself, if someone doesn't get my humor, it is their problem.

    Don't let the "nastiness" get you down. If you enjoy posting messages than continue to do so and if you want to take a break, take a break. I never post but I reply once in a while and that works for me, I don't like everyone knowing my business.
  • yeah, don't change.

    ^^That! There's lots of people here who love to laugh and share experiences! Find those people, avoid the ones who aren't...and go about your day! Life's too short to let anyone get u down!

    With whom are you debating? Yourself? I will not let others, especially those on an online site force me to have conversations with myself about whether or not I will continue to do the things that I want to do or like to do. So, how is your rant in one thread about some nonsense taking place in another thread(s) going to fix anything? Will it change the people on MFP? I think NOT!

    The last thing we need is more fun people leaving the boards! Just back out of the ugly threads and post in the fun ones.

    Everyone, just calm down. I'm a trained professional.

    The problem here is this: You're. Too sexy for these threads.

    Also, Michael Jackson.

    Now that you are smiling, you's can't leave.

    Sorry everyone...it's been one of those days. And that day was capped off by getting my hand slapped because someone felt the need to narc on me. My ride on the wah-mbulence is officially over. Thanks for putting up with it, for the kind words and for the kick in the pants, LOL :flowerforyou:

    Nasty people are everywhere. Be happy they are not in your family, and don't be surprised when they turn up on a site where they can hide behind screen names and never have to meet you.

    Also, for some MORE perspective? I usually don't "request" people I don't know irl on here, unless they seem really cool and super sarcastic and FUNNY. I was definitely getting ready to FR you on up, though. This site is a microcosm of society at large (NO PUN INTENDED, STG), and there are SO many different types of people floating through here.

    But all the cool ones like YOU. By "all the cool ones", I am referring to myself.

    Hon there are going to be people like that everywhere you go. . Don't cease to be yourself. . .just because of a few issues.. Although I do agree with stepping away from the threads for a while if it helps. . . You are a nice person. . Be true to yourself.:smile:

    The carpal tunnel is probably bc of "extra curricular" activities...
