Bemused Bystander

The thing that I don’t really get, is when someone in the room is being abused, everyone just seems to let it happen. Almost like keeping their heads below the parapet in case they are noticed and become the victim of the vitriol.

From the posts in response to Laine’s thread, everyone seems to be in agreement that is an atrocious event whenever…[Read more]

It can feel that way Trapper, I’ll agree with that. Surely it’s about perspective and what you allow to effect you?

It can also depend on how important who is saying what is. If those who spout ignorance and nastiness are of no consequence in your life, just don’t sweat it. Either that, or say little about your personal life in the room.

Welcome to the boards, tonedeaf. In Lady Kenty’s absence, I feel it’s my duty to welcome you aboard.

Happy posting.

Do I detect a note of jealousy in savvy’s ‘final’ post?

The more the merrier.
