Me? Start a fluff day? These things need to be planned! What will I wear? How will I get there?

 

[KimRaye]

Awww, come on, all it takes is a thread to start it!

Won't that surprise all our fave DISers in the morning and, keep it going?

I'll try, if you do!

I agree about some rude mean posters on the CB! It is a total waste of time to argue with them. Most of the people on the CB are very nice but those argumentive people should go to the DB!

I've posted less and less over the past months, so much so that I've joined another Disney site where the people are much kinder and don't lay in wait to attack. Since my return from WDW last December, many things have happened here that has made me feel uncomfortable. I've watched people be ignored completely, ridiculed, picked on and people just being down right nasy. If this is suppose to representative of the "Happiest Place On Earth" then I feel some people here need to do some serious soul searching.

I have not noticed too much recently... but that is because my participation in the CB has diminished GREATLY for those very reasons... so I have not been around all that much to notice.

C. Ann...I'll be your friend, not your foe!

Normally I attribute it to my spending too much time here

Maybe that's my problem...I've taken a few breaks over the last few months, maybe I need another one!

Love the Fluff day idea again!

Fun
Lighthearted
Understanding
Friends
Family

Well it's good to know that I'm not "imagining" this trend and others have noticed it as well..

Serena hit it on the head. I noticed as well, and things were getting *really* tense there for a while until Fluff Day. I stopped coming at all for a week or so because of all the tensions, I just had to step away for a bit. But since Fluff Day (and the turning point in the war), I've noticed the tensions starting to wind down, just as they always do.

Take a break, find something relaxing to do, and give it a little time. It'll pass.

*hugs*

I must be wearing my Rose Colored Glasses, as I haven't noticed any nastiness at all. I must be very adept at skipping over those posts - everyone I've encountered on the CB has been very nice. Ignorance is bliss.

I've been around here for a few years now, and it seems to me that the 'negative' type of folks usually move along after a while.

 

[DopeyRN]

I find it comes and goes...I have not been around much. I have turned off my computer more and found out that is a good thing for my family. I have been shunned by a couple and it hurt enough that I simply slipped away....

Like all places we go through this every now and then. I try not to let any of this bother me or get too involved.

I have been reading posts often but do not post for lack of time, working full time, and part time for my husband and then my hobbies do keep me busy.

If I see things get out of hand I just hit the back button and move on. Life’s too short to get worked up about silly bickering. I deal enough with it in the “real” world I don’t need it here too.

Hope you have a good weekend and try not to let all this stuff bother you.

C. Ann, you're just putting in words what alot of people are thinking.

I have seen the CB go through some major ups and downs, it's just like a family, people stress out, disagree, argue BUT

in the long run the good ones hang in there and prevail.

I hate to be in "ignore" mode, but I've found it works for me, too. I cannot deal with certain types of posts and refuse to deal with them. But if it's reported, I HAVE to and sometimes it just downright gets me down to read what some people think...

I don't mind differing opinions and a healthy debate, what I can't deal with is ignorance, fear and hate. It's rampant at times like this and only puts fuel to the fire.

Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Ignoring those people who are hurtful here is the best remedy, IMO. Works well for me.

I'm with you Dan. If people are saying something hurtful to others I just don't either read it or post.

 

[goofy4tink]

I've been feeling the same way too. I think I may have been somewhat negative sounding in the past but I've tried to reread everything before I post it!! Sometimes we write things in our posts that sound 'bad' but wouldn't if people were standing right in front of us and saw our expressions. I tend to be somewhat sarcastic, so I'm trying to be extra careful when posting.
Had Fluff for lunch....YUM!!!

I've been there too C.Ann and sadly I have lost respect for people who I thought had a good heart. I too have said some things that I regret but of course apologies weren't accepted....you know if someone ever apologized to me for anything and I knew they meant it I can't think of one reason why I wouldn't accept. I guess there is truly no one person I dislike so much that I would turn down a peace offering....but all people aren't like that.

I've also been talked to and about by people who I've done nothing to. People who just want to fit in a specific group at a specific time and could care less about the feelings of the person they are talking about Its really sad but sometimes you just have to step back and look at your family and your blessings and realize that you can't let the DIS or any person ruin your happiness!

{{hugs}} sweety!!

I don't see using the back button as an effective measure either as that leaves the poor poster who is being bashed to "stand alone".. Kind of like when all the bullies pick on the one little kid in the schoolyard - rather than get involved, everyone else turns away..

I agree with you there.

My philosophy here is, if I don't agree with someone, I will never, ever ATTACK THE POSTER. There are ways to respectfully disagree.
