I just got yelled at!

[fun & fancy free]

I had posted something on the boards this am. My first response was so harsh all yelling and accusitions. I can not believe how mean this person was. Thank goodness all the other responses were kind and productive. I was ready to report this to the moderator but thought maybe I was being petty. Has anyone else been yelled at and what did you do?

I was 'yelled' at once also! I was really shocked that someone would actually take precious time to yell at a total stranger over these boards. I can't even remember what I posted, but some other member took it upon herself to set me straight .

Oh well, you can't agree with everyone!

Sorry, I just read the post you were referring to and I dont know why that person said what they did. As far as the trip, I wouldnt let the guilt eat at you. When we went to WDW I would have loved to take my folks but my dad couldnt have handled it. Maybe just do something else with mom when you come back??Doesnt sound like she is too upset so dont feel badly.

Please remember, when you post on any internet community and ask for advice or comments, you are bound to have someone who disagrees with you. I read the thread that I think you are talking about and I did see that the poster disagreed with you and basically told you something you didn't want to hear. I think they were actually quite nice about it and I didn't feel that were yelling at all. Believe me, there have been much worse things said to people.

I do hope when people come to the boards asking advice or even just griping that they REALLY do want others' opinions even if it's not what you want to hear. Makes us all better people don't you think--as long as it's done properly?

Yeah last year when we still had a debate board. This person ridiculed me and it was soo sad. I ignored it for days then responded. I felt better but it was shocking you dont expect everyone to agree with you but you dotn expect it to get that nasty. I did report them.

Remember that people don't come across too well sometimes on these boards. Just concentrate on the nice people and consider all of the advice both good and bad. Even rude people can be helpful sometimes!

I don't think I have ever been, what I would say, 'yelled at' here (at least not yet, LOL), but have had just about everything said to me at one time or another. As for reporting threads/posts to moderator, I don't think I have ever reported one, that I can recall, that was a result of comments made to me, but I send probably 10 a week for when I see others getting picked on, breaking of stated DIS guidelines, inappropriateness, spam, selling stuff, whatever. The link is there to use.

And remember, as it pertains to you, there is always the ignore option, put the person on ignore, it is a better surf not seeing those who trouble you. I have used it in the past, those folks have been long booted, multiple times, but it was helpful while the trash was in our yard rotting.

Thanks all. I havn't lost faith in the boards due to all of you. Dan Murphy I think I will take your advise with the ignore button. I am a true believer if you have nothing nice to say atleast find a nice way to say it. Yes maybe both sides need to be said but there are nice ways to get your points across. There is no reason to hurt someone's feelings. The worst part of all of this is that I like to try to see the good in all and right now I am having a bit of a problem with that.

Great advice for us all, thanks Dan.

I have to do a bit of scolding to you--if your mom took it well that she wasn't going to WDW this trip, don't you think she realized the impact she made on your family the last trip?? Don't you think she IS "admitting" she's a bit too old for the pace??
Sounds to me like you want to be the "victim" in the situation...."feel sorry for me because I feel guilty..."
Come on--get past it. YOU are the only one making YOU feel this way. Your last sentence says it all. You are really feeling the way you do because you resent your sisters....this has nothing to do anymore with your mom--it has to do with the way you want your sisters to feel toward you.
Just stop it.

Was this the "yelling at" post you were referring to? There is nothing I can see here that violates board guidelines. If you post asking for advice on a board with 60,000 members you need to realize that not everyone is going to agree with you. I thought this person was quite respectful. She just told you something that apparently you didn't want to hear and that upset you.

I am also wondering why you would consider reporting it to a moderator. You weren't called names or insulted. The person did nothing but disagree with you.
