I've lost two good friends here this week.

Another is silent. The atmosphere here is toxic. I still have many good connections here. I feel like leaving too. I refuse to go silently into that good night. Maybe instead of spreading discontent we should lift one another up in friendship. Share ideas and experiences. Be the light in somebody else's darkness.

Well, that's been my main attitude since the start. And the reason I waste no time blocking the toxic one. I won't leave. I like it here and I like the people I do interact with. See that little badge by my name. That is there because I am willing to pay for the privilege of blocking every troll or toxic person I run into. It's not a status symbol. It's just a convenience.

@Quoththeraven: it really isn't terribly expensive if you buy a year's membership at a time. Less than the cost of one Extra large coffee a month. Less than 10 cents a day. And for that we get 5000 blocks, 5000 mutes, and 1000 photos. I'm not rich, by any stretch of the imagination, but, I don't begrudge the ten cents a day to feel comfortable blocking the bad ones and muting the pesky ones, and, in case you haven't noticed, I love, love, love, posting pictures with my stories and some of my responses.

Yes, someone was really racist to me this week and called me a slut. Idk why people are so mean online
Don't let them get you down. Fight back and block liberally! Don't let them deprive me of your wit and insight.

@QueenOfQuirk: that goes double for me. I like you. Racists get blocked double quick by me. Reported then blocked. As do the sneaky ones who don't set their profile as adult and come on here and post adult themed stories. I have mine set to non adult for a reason.

I don't care what they want to say. It's none of my business, but I do care if they choose to drop their bag of icky on my door step. I don't see any adult themed stories, if they are correctly marked, I say let them pee in their own pool but stay out of mine.

Thank you, I like you too :D
The worst part is that you never know who is a racist. It is as though people here have split personalities. I like the wording you used though xD

Think of it this way. If the negative people pull you down and make you go away, then you are depriving the friends you've made here of your participation. They are not only hurting you they are hurting your friends.
