Every passing day that I'm on here makes me more and more inclined to leave again...

Is this worse than EP was? Or have I just changed?
I left EP in 2008, I think, due to my husband's illness, but either I was comatose or it was a much MUCH kinder, gentler place.

I am stunned frequently by the unbridled rage here.

@Mamapolo2016 That is a very good point! Madness knows no age limit!

@Mamapolo2016 I wasn't on EP until ~2014 (if not earlier, I don't remember), and it was decent. There were trolls and I'm sure a lot of bad things going on beneath the surface, but I never particularly felt as uneasy or out of place as I do here. EP had a sense of community that I liked. This loses that appeal for me.
@BigAssLeech I keep trying to figure out the difference. For one thing, by creating your own groups, other users who were on a different wave-length kind of sorted themselves automatically by not being interested.

Ep was worse tbh

Those denying it forget the peados and sexual abusers on that site. There's probably about half of them on here.

The admins and others actually dont do to bad

If honest I'm getting bored. It's not the same any more. At one point people weren't afraid to express their feelings now they are. We have hit a culture where care is 3rd nature

EP was far worse in my opinion. FULL of trolls who completely took over the site and made it unusable. At least the admin take care of the crap here.

@SW-User Oh! 😟
I didn't do that because on EP I've met my soul mate and I wanted to import all his messages to SW - that's why I didn't close my account. 😊
But I really can understand you.
SW-User
@Loretta78 Awwww. I am so glad you met someone wonderful there. Luckily, I did too, so it wasn't all bad.

@SW-User I am glad for you! 🤗

10 glazed donuts says you will be here today, tomorrow, and the foreseeable future.
BigAssLeech · 31-35, M
@MarkPaul Luckily I'm on a diet. 🤪
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@BigAssLeech Lucky for me, then.

I still think EP was worse, but this site is hot on its tail. Getting worse daily, in my opinion.
SW-User
Yeah this place was more content driven in its initial days

The only way to make it better is leading by example.
SW-User
@Miram Very wise words..🙂
One thing EP had was a willingness of the users to agree to disagree. There weren't armed camps like there are here, when a dozen like-minded people swarm in like hyenas at a kill to try to tear the poster or responder to shreds.

There's an atmosphere here that disagreement is dangerous and has to be stifled. On all sides.

It is not this site that is worse than EP. It's the gathering of a much younger group. They are into a shock and awe thingy.
As a long time standing EP lover/user... WE ALL need to express ourselves as we once did on EP.
Meaningful, to even silly daily events/experiences, serious thoughts...
Everything changes.
Heck.. I go by another username. ;-)

Don’t leave, Jakey. Just give it a chance. Yes, this site sucks at times, but it’s relatively new still. Just use that block button and surround yourself with the kinda people you relate to. 😊

What could be done to make it better?
@Dusty101 With me, debate is fine. It's the conversations that deteriorate in two or three exchanges to ridiculing and personal attacks.
Dusty101 · F
@Mamapolo2016 I agree... and debates sometimes end up like that. And I can't stand people throwing out personal attacks.. I feel ill from it.
@Dusty101 Same here. Especially if it's directed at me.

Yes it is.

Disgusting site
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@Prisoner69 Then why you are here? :-?
Prisoner69 · 26-30, M
@Loretta78 for the few people who genuinely enjoy me being around. 😇
What are you looking for that you are not finding?
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
Both. For all of us.
