But what if you just showed up and need to get up to speed?
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@FloorGenAdm I'm not really sure what that means?
I tend to stay in my own lane and mind my own business, everybody is always free to do what they want, that is life.

It's one thing to make note of something or call people out and another entirely to keep beating a dead horse like a lot here do.
If you dislike someone, it's plenty easy to just leave them be and NOT interact with them. I don't know why anyone goes out of their way looking for drama, spying on each other or anything. I mute, a lot of people for the sake of sanity and peace and block if that's not enough. Sometimes it's like people here forget they don't HAVE to participate in an argument or acknowledge anyone they don't want.
I don't want any part in anyone's dumb drama, especially a witch hunt. I don't necessarily "feel bad" for a crappy person getting their due if that's what it is, but I can agree it doesn't need to be a thing that drags on.

I'm sure there are people out there that think I'm a crappy person, I wouldn't agree, they would think so though.
I just don't like the whole idea of ganging up on someone, don't have to like them, don't have to sing their praises, have no problem reporting someone who is harassing or being terrible to someone else.
Where I draw the line is becoming some kind of crusader and thinking I'm righteous when I'm not worthy to even throw one stone.
I'm not saying this is you, believe me, I've never seen you do anything unkind or had a problem with you it's just my general attitude and my own beliefs.

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
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@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.

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.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@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

@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.

FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M
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.

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Not really. I'm indifferent to it most of the time. What puts me off is vagueposting. Someone addressing a scathing post to someone on here but doesn't name names. The cherry on top are comments from which it's obvious that others were informed who it is about through PMs but keep being secretive. As petty and passive aggressive as a teen on a Facebook back in 2009.

I guess that means we have a difference of opinion which of course is allowed

Thank you for that, it's good when people can disagree, but still go away on good terms.

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 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?

Pretty much, particularly when it's one of those "I don't approve of this person so let's all gang up on them" posts.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@ChipmunkErnie
It seems quite infantile.
I hate it when they make blank statements like "well everybody hates her/him on this site"
It's cringy.

Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
I think it shows a lack of maturity to start that kind of post - and comment viciously.
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
@Justmeraeagain it just makes me think that in order for some to feel good about themselves, they have to tear others down.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Ambroseguy80 When we foolish mortals get egged on it becomes vicious at times and then we try to wrap it up in virtue if called on it.
It usually takes a hard lesson of causing someone grief to see it for what it is.
Too often the battered just take it, because they have been lead to believe they deserve the treatment or life has taught them to just take it and hopefully to not receive worse for the defiance.
The lesson came for me when I was a teenager and saw the face of the girl we were gossiping about, I never wanted to cause that kind of pain to anyone ever again and would love to say I never did.
But, many years ago, feeling justified, I hurt another person, who had eventually forgave me, and I realized something about myself and changed.
We must be willing to do that or we will always feel justified in being cruel.
For me nothing will justify it, even if I think I am right or they acted foolishly it will be between them and me -not them, me, and the world.

@Justmeraeagain it takes a big person to react the way that you have. Kudos to you for that. May we all be so open to such lessons of the pain we can inflict on others.

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

Smear campaigns against someone because they don’t fit in their clique are the lowest way to play in this game of life
I’ve never like that kinda dirty player , ever since I was little I’ve known the world isnt a better place with it and those who create it.

@FreeLittleBird
I can't even really justify it with people I don't like there are plenty of people who don't like me and I wouldn't like it if it was done to me.
And it has been done to me on here and on experience project, because someone's always going to have a problem with somebody else.
I like to stay in my own lane and I like just to be myself and not worry about what other people are doing.
I will stick up for people who are being harassed but I do it in a far quieter way.

@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.

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.
