well, i hope people here are ok with me. i've been having issues with someone continually mocking me and my cat and recently my mother who is deceased. i finally got fed up today with it and blocked "it" and tried reporting "it" so it would be appreciated if people see any further posts from "it" like that to report "it".... thanks

@beermeplease I don't think anyone should be harassed, but I don't see the point in shaming posts ,my own personal opinion, of course.
I do think it's appropriate to block and report such behavior.

Unless the target is someone i happen to care about, i don't much care one way or the other. People will be who they are and I'm not likely to change anyone's mind.
The mute and block functions rapidly restore peace in my feed. No loss.

I know that I can't change anyone's mind ,I guess I'm not after that.
It just makes me kind of sad to see people attack someone over and over again and it seems unnecessary.

@Justmeraeagain i agree that it can be sad. Some people are nasty and it's unfortunate.
I just choose to put my efforts somewhere i can perhaps make a difference for somebody and, with maybe a couple of rare exceptions, SW ain't that place. So i save my energy and ignore.
There are people here who aren't overly fond of me, for that matter, but other than taking a moment to see if maybe they have a point, i don't spend any energy on them either.

Yes, I agree. After reading and watching negative comments, I start to believe the stuff(without checking to see if it's valid!) Ugh!
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@AMC55USA
I try not to get into that kind of stuff, and some of the criticism made could be valid it just doesn't make sense to me to keep going on and on about it for days and days...
And I don't know if you can always validate everything here?
I mean people can say whatever they want?

I don't like seeing, hearing or even reading that people hurt each other for fun or targeted. It is so vicious. If you can tell me who the user is please let me know I want to block them.

@GunFinger
I'm not talking just about one person targeting someone .
I'm talking about starting a thread and then everybody jumps on the bandwagon...
I'm not really much for naming people

GunFinger · F
@Justmeraeagain oh ok. That's not good at all. You can pm me or I will just find the thread to understand. I haven't been on much because I am so stressed about someone in real life too.

I don’t see that very often, at least not about other posters. Of course I see the ones discussing public figures and politicians—but I imagine that’s par for the course.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@bijouxbroussard I've seen it a number of times ,but not every single day. Public people are different matter, I think, it comes with the territory
DDonde · 31-35, M
I think I've muted/blocked most of the people here that do that.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@DDonde I have to admit if I block everybody I saw doing that I would be blocking people I do like over all.
I just have the opinion that maybe we should have left that off in high school?

Yes, it's horrid.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Magenta I think so, too.
I remember a few years back there was a lady, I won't name her, who was a bit prickly and they tore her to shreds .
I didn't particularly like this person, but I didn't think that was right.

@Justmeraeagain Oh I remember several vilifying threads like that. It was disgusting. And many jumped on the bandwagon.

When someone lacks purpose or meaning in their life, tearing others down can become a cheap substitute for significance.
Cheap being the key word.

It becomes a serious trolling effect - move on and leave that person alone

@OriginalNedKelly
That's pretty much what I'm thinking.
One of the reasons I don't name people...
I'm not even saying I like some of these people,but
I don't want to be part of the pitchfork and torch society...

Some members are trolls. Or at least troll like. Troll adjacent. Any member who puts themselves out there in a contentious manner has to expect a degree of backlash. No pity in that case.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@RosaMarie
I guess, I have a different opinion.
I will cut off conversations and I will block people who insist on being cantankerous, but I won't join in an attack that goes on and on.
That doesn't mean I won't stick up for people, I have.
Doesn't mean I won't report criminal behavior.
