Does Anyone Notice The Rampant Negativity Here?

Just because I don't post much doesn't mean I'm not an active member - I have numerous friends and such that I support through MFP and they support me in return through private messaging.
And really look at my original posting. All I was saying was that there is a ton of negativity on the boards and this thread proved that point. Instead of respondents agreeing or disagreeing in an appropriate way, offering suggestions for how to improve the status quo - my post has been met with attacks. Maybe I'm not adept at the forum concept but it seems really counter-intuitive to make the message boards so unwelcoming.0 -

Attacks?
Because people disagreed with your assertion that the negativity has increased or was as prevalent as you and others claim it to be?
Forgive me for not agreeing...
(...especially in the absence of any supporting links.)
Meanwhile, those on your "side" of this disagreement have told others to F off and called others members "trolls" (both in this thread and by other means) because they refused to agree with you. Interesting, no?0 -

How much you post does matter though. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, right?
While I absolutely disagree with your opinion of the forum, do you think that instead of posting threads chastising people for not behaving the way you think they should - it would be much more effective to address the negativity as it happens? Otherwise you're creating negativity by making blanket statements about every user in this forum.0 -

I didn't see any attacks? Maybe I missed it. But I did see people offering opinions and suggestions on more than one occasion.0 -

Apparently they're there. You just need to look harder.
Also, why are you so mean?0 -

I can't believe you'd tell her she just needs to look harder. This is exactly the kind of negativity the OP is complaining about.
I think.

And by not agreeing that it exists...that it is rampant and increasingly so, you're also a troll.
So you're a mean troll. Your negativity is a cancer upon the MFP forums. I hope you're happy with yourself.
TL;DR - Please be nicer to everyone in the future.0 -
