Hmm... let's see. Someone makes mean public comments about me sending them a mean private message about their mean public message about mean comments. What do you think?

Since Tinker74 elected to discuss a private message in public, I'll post the message for you here, so you can judge. Given the smiley, and the fact that instead of calling attention to Tinker74's initial mean message in public I sent my reply privately, I doubt any reasonable person would consider the message mean -- however regardless of the smiley, and regardless of the fact that it was sent privately, my message was surely not as mean as Tinker74's original message was.

Say what?

Just smile and wave Polly, just smile and wave

Bicker I never said my post refered to you.....

I never said you did! I actually didn't even think you did -- I just objected to the meanness of your message, generally towards people of conscience, regardless of who you directed it at.

I find it strange that a man of your age would send vicious PM's to a young woman to be honest.

Are you a woman? Are you young? I don't know. Everyone is equal on the DIS. We're all members, and have to defend our own statements.

And we both know what you said in your PM.

And now everyone knows. I'm sorry if that embarasses you, but it was your choice to make our private discussion public.

Iam NOT going to reply to you..

Didn't you already state earlier that you have me Ignored?

Foohound..I agree about it always being the same names.
I find it is the ones who go on and on about their owm integrity and morals and follow the rules how they see them to the Nth degree..who seem to lack the most basic levels of human compassion.
They also seem to be severley intolorant of children..which is strange for disney lovers.

My advice use your ignore button..If only we had one in real life..

I think it's true that certain people are "jolly" - sometimes when they get too skinny they lose their jolliness and become mean. Maybe they're hungry.

I'm totally confuzzled now. Are you really on your way or not? I see the smilie and I'm getting mixed messages.

Stop picking on me or I'll mix your messages and you won't know what hit you! (I have no idea what that means )

Gee, that would lead to another clique thread Or does the word GANG infer an ethnic slur?

What would Michael do???

 

[Froggyswife]

Just here to spread a little sunshine

When you feel bad don't be rash
Just throw that frown in the trash

Reach deep inside and find a grin
and just watch the happiness pour in.

If this dosen't help get people in a good mood try this

Did some of the posts get deleted here?? I am totally confused as to how we got from the OP's post to here.

In any event, to drag this back to the OP's subject...I think that the holiday season is stressful for a lot of folks who are trying to have the "Hallmark holiday"...you know, smiling family gathered 'round the tree happily opening beautifully wrapped gifts as soft Christmas carols play in the background. Real life isn't like that, and the holidays don't change anything...they just add to the expectations. But, this additional stress tends to make somone "snappish" and may be interpreted by some as mean.

I also think that the Internet, being the anonymous venue that it is, makes people "braver"...folks who wouldn't normally say something nasty to you face-to-face (because they fear they'd get their butt kicked) will say it on the Internet because they know that that are "safe" due to the inherent anonymity.

In any event, there are a lot of nice folks here, I tend to ignore the idiots or consider the source when people are nasty...one has to think they are angry poor souls who must have a lousy life then I feel sorry for them because they are pathetic.
