Reminder ...

Don't forget there is a real person behind the usernames on here . People who have gone through or are going through rough experiences. Let's be kind .Let's be considerate. Let's be mindful of others on here and offline . Let's not forget to be gracious and loving.

* full disclosure: that doesn't mean you should put up with toxic individuals *

Yeah, looks like are in the internet, like characters.. But we're really real.
Just a different platform, but we are we.

Excellent❣️🤗Sure wish people cared enough to keep hurtful thoughts in check before responding to something they just read. 😔 They could be misunderstanding or not getting the whole picture. I myself ask for clarification if in doubt. Most the time I just keep my mouth shut if it's something I don't like. 🤐

People are people.
It's because it's understood that there are "real people behind the usernames" that other people are cruel.
A good amount of time those who are being cruel are also going through or have gone through rough experiences.

The easy to use, handy dandy block/mute option is your friend.

@minxy That is a choice some make in their behavior towards others

@SW-User ... because they are also going through or have gone through rough experiences.
Yes, correct.

There's another choice. You don't have to react or care that someone who is also showing that they're going through or have gone through rough experiences by being cruel to you.
There's this easy to use, handy dandy block/mute option.

I'm just saying.

@minxy true
Is easy to forget maybe this is not a "serious" site but people are seriously RIGHT HERE with issues galore just like me...and YOU

Sometimes some posts really drive this home, everyone here seems to have serious OMG issues, and oftentimes those are the easiest ones to just kinda take

4 granted.

JUst saying. A few of those posts have popped up in a bunch these last few days..

It is a revelation to see the answers, sobering too.

Love one another. We are really all we've got.

Toxics, unfortunately, don't care.

But, good reminder.
People don't care what anyone has been through they are just looking to judge and ridicule and tear down anyone who doesn't agree with them or anyone they deem as different or not good enough for there standards

@ExperienceDLT I am not like "anyone" .
@SW-User everyone is different but people can't accept each others differences instead they want to crucify each other for them
@ExperienceDLT If there were a "zoom" component to this site it might be easier to relate to people's experiences. If we SAW who we were talking to...

but then the "privacy" factor createss the tradeoff.

its easy to say anything here but no one cares much barring some notable exceptions

Does this mean I shouldn’t call people out on uniformed views.
I think that I am performing a public good, when I challenge ignorance or racist view points.

@SW-User You should still do it. 99% of the time those people are posting to get a reaction.
Before you enter the forest know the creatures that dwell within.

@soar2newhighs * skips through forrest *
