[center][c=#BF6900]I sat here going through some posts & comments last night. I try to be kind to everyone. If I disagree with something they have said or done, I can do so in a civil, polite way. Why do some take it upon themselves to go out of their way to be rude to others?! I had a horrible comment on one of my recent posts, where the person chose to curse & be condescending. My first reaction was to fire right back at him. What did I have to lose? I don't know him & have never seen him before! But, I thought twice & decided that I would not stoop to his level. Sure, go ahead & be rude & nasty towards me, put me down. If it makes you feel better, go for it. I hope it has helped you to feel better & sleep well. I am thankful that for the most part, I've come across some great people here. And, I remember that not all are the same, so don't assume or base all on one bad apple! 🍎 That's my thought for Friday! Stay happy & blessed! ☮💫❣[/c]

You're a good person and didn't deserve to have this happen to you and your initial reaction certainly is understandable. My instinct is to strike back too, but I try to take your approach and not respond in kind to such provocations. What I might do, if it's nasty comments on my post and not comments directed at me on someone else's post, is delete their comments. I simply won't tolerate someone polluting my posts with a lot of ugliness. Fortunately, I haven't had to do that very often as most people are polite and respectful on the things I've posted.
@Rutterman I guess it is probably human nature to want to strike back. Luckily, I usually think twice before actually hitting send or replying. I have always tried treating others as I'd like to be treated. It's a shame some do not feel the same. I wonder how they would like people to treat them the way they treat others. Thank you for such a kind comment. I really appreciate your friendship.
@JerseyGal I'm sure most of these people would not want to be treated the way they treat others. You're very nice and I have no doubt that you do your best to treat others as you'd like to be treated. I try to do the same.
