It blows my mind how hurtful and vile some people are willing to be here just to get ANY attention they can.

@SW-User At least I try to be kind and compassionate. 🦋🤗

@JustGoneNow You seem that way to me!

@SW-User Aww. 🦋🤗 ty

@Mrjingleswilly Right.... Compassion is needed everywhere all the time.

@RenaissanceMan I have a lot of compassion for others. However, I draw the line at outright cruelty toward others.

@Mrjingleswilly Always my first thought

@SW-User for the longest time I wouldn't. Now idgaf

@SW-User Well, you know that they certainly don't give a fuck.

@SW-User exactly.

My main issue with the old EP was actually their constant tinkering that eventually ruined the platform. So far, I'm liking the flow of this site, and it's encouraging to hear that they're responsive.

@Fernie

@SW-User How long were you on EP? Yes, the minute they started "tinkering" it all went to hell. I think that was the point at which they didn't want to deal with the site anymore. Before the tinkering it was just fine

@Fernie I was on EP for a few years. I think I started in '09 and was on it until they shut it down. I used to use an avatar with an orange face that I'd play around with by putting it on different pics of movie scenes, musicians, etc. If anyone even remembers me from EP, it's probably for all the variations on the orange man in my avatar.

@helenS I am sure that there are. However, that doesn't excuse those who act that way here does it?

@SW-User No, of course, you are right, that doesn't excuse anything.

@Fernie we are all capable of it. Some people have more self control is all.

@Keepitsimple I am NOT capable of the things we are talking about. Pure meaness, anger, deliberate hatefulness

@Fernie Yes, deliberate is a whole other topic! ☹️

@Fernie Miserable.

@SW-User Thank you. I am grateful for the block button. Just as offline, I don't put up with it here either.

@Fernie Right. There are many people here who are going through hell in the lives and need support. They don't need to be treated like shit for absolutely NO reason whatsoever.

@SW-User Yes, I completely agree. Although words from strangers are just that.

@SW-User For me...the opinions of faceless strangers means nothing. If someone is in here with a reasonable request for a little support and they are dehumanized by some toxic person...they can't always just let it go and others need to speak out against it

@SW-User The point for me here is what they do to other people, not me, I take good care of Fernie...as Meow said...some folks here just need some support not vicious meaness...I can't block that

@SW-User because they wake up angry at the world and take it out on whomever they can...the internet allows them to hide and hurt people

@Fernie Sometimes I am like
I have had enough of this nonsense all the time.

@SW-User Is it really all the time?

@SW-User Ok

@helenS vile people don't usually apologize

@helenS Sorry, but that's bullshit. They don't want to apologize. I don't have time for their BS. Block it is.
