I Try to Be Kind to Everyone

I think SW could be a much better place if people just ignore (or block, if necessary) the members/posts they don’t care for rather than ganging up and bullying them... everyone should be able to freely express who they are (within legal limits, obviously) without fear of harassment... just sayin’

hiding behind a user name makes them not only bullies but cowards. kindness is the best policy

I have never been a fan of censorship. If it is something anyone doesn't like, then don't read it. If it gets really out of hand from one individual, mute or block that individual.

sadly SW is like all other social media sites. people feel empowered through criticism. we all need thick skin to survive.

@swl2jo that is so sad... empowerment comes from lifting others up not beating them down... I mostly keep to myself as my skin is not very thick, but that makes for a lonely life...

thankfully i've made quite a few friends here that share common interests. 90% of the comments on my stories are positive. we just have to ignore the negative ones.

Exactly. It's sad that some people are prone to lash out on people to prove who they are. It's also sad that some people slander others and gossip. It's sad because jealousy and envy play a big part in interactions. Sometimes, ignoring and blocking are forgotten as options which can lead to peace of mind.

Who's ganging up and bulling people here?!🙁 I agree, this should be a place where all are free to express themselves unless they are hurting another. ⭐

@Peaches I agree with you... EP wasn’t pleasant in the end... but I have fond memories of the earlier days... thank you for your kind advice, that is something I have been struggling with lately...
Peaches · F
@hippiechick333 Me too! 😊 It was wonderful in the earlier days.⭐I even have a t-shirt to remind me. 💙 I'm so sorry and hope you win over your struggles.

Awww thanks @nudydude! You’re pretty nice yourself... I think everyone should be treated fairly whether they come here seeking support, friendship or even to explore a fantasy life... we can all learn from listening to opinions which differ from our own... if others don’t like it they can block or ignore but the bullying and harassment that I have watched become more and more commonplace over the last few years isn’t acceptable... when I joined EP many years ago it was, for most, a caring supportive place... yes, there were trolls, but they were quickly dealt with by the members and the admin... we act like we are becoming more sensitive and tolerant as a society yet in reality the opposite appears to be true... the hate and apathy in this world is terrifying... keep being the special person you are... big hugs ☮
