I saw a meme once

Where the person said they had posted a comment about how lovely the scenery of a grassy meadow looked and how many people commented about their allergies. That the comments about allergies ruined the peace of the grassy scenery and why do people feel compelled to post these things instead of letting people just enjoy a moment without some kind of suffering.

It was obviously more succinct than that, but that was the jist.

I think of that meme often.

Why do people bring up the negatives of something someone else enjoys? Why ruin that? No one asked what your issues are with it. They asked you to enjoy it with them. If you can't, don't comment and move on. The need to crap all over someone else's joy is weird to me.

Just let people enjoy stuff!

Totally right!

Too many people join a chat about topic x and bring their personal S*** into it and try (and too often succeed) to divert the chat away from topic x and onto their personal agenda!

Why!

So selfish!

So disrespectful!

In the same way as there is a "block" facility to stop people contacting you, the person starting the chat should be able to "delete" those selfish diversionary people, so the chat stays on the topic they started!

[End of rant!]
