Not here for that.

@MoonlightLullaby yea the ban hammer has to be strong sometimes.

@MoonlightLullaby There are other ways to interact. I can deal with drama-queens/kings, but my first attempt is to humour them. Once you do that, you might find a person just like another.

@thewindupbirdchronicles I don’t humor rudeness to my friends. People can say what they want directly to me and I usually don’t pay them any mind, so long as it doesn’t get outright aggressive.

@SW-User Agreed. But, often what we see online are seldom friends? There are expressions I see, I wonder if they should be expressed, but I'd rather let them go knowing they are human too.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Yeah, I ironically found a wonderful friendship with the OP by sending a smartassey type pm. 😏🤭....truth be told, it was really my overly sensitive side showing itself, and I don't regret it since something fruitful became of it.🌷

@thewindupbirdchronicles it doesn’t matter how anyone else classifies friendship so long as any situation fulfills what I classify as friendship.

Being human isn’t an excuse for being rude, and I try to not be rude in my rebuke but sometimes I fail, and then I get rebuked. It’s the only way to learn and grow

@MoonlightLullaby you know what the difference was? You took that emotional response into a one on one conversation where we could eventually com to understand each others actions without it being on display for all of SW to see.

I react differently in one on one conversations, which is why I say I don’t want drama on my posts. I rather if someone had something to say, that it be done in private, that way both parties get to keep whatever shred of dignity the internet allows.

And that’s how friendships can be formed.

@SW-User But we will always get rebuked, I'm not talking about how one will get treated within here, and I wish a million damsels people would not hurt other people, and see how their words might, yet what we see as rude often is of what feel sensitive about. 💙

@thewindupbirdchronicles firstly, and I’ll try to keep this short because I have to give my energy to work, we will always get rebuked, if i’m not getting rebuked then i’m around the wrong people or I’m perfect, and I don’t believe people can be perfect.

I don’t care about sensitivity in that matter. If it’s my page, my posts and I determine it’s rude, then it is. I am the only one who can determine what I want to be on my timeline short of SW banning me. So I will except use that rite to curate my posts, remove any rudeness and drama I perceive and decide who gets my time and effort in interaction.

@SW-User Fair, I was more suggesting upon how to seek life; not some curated way where I am away. I do agree, but I see room for growth, that's all - in the end, we are all here (life) and I feel it's a responsibility somewhere to give more than protect. I do understand, though.

@thewindupbirdchronicles I live life every single day. My only place that I have curated is here. And I am going to keep it that way. Because if here were no different that life, I would live it out there.

I get exactly what I need from SW when I’m here and that’s what makes this place and the friendships formed here unique. In a life that I love, I also need a place that is tailored to me, to recharge. The minute it becomes more of a drain than a recharge, then it has lost its value.

@SW-User Yes, and I hope you find it. Curate it all you need. We all need this. I'd just be careful how we see the outside world.
