When you get flamed

[eliza61]

Breathe.
Pour strong, delicious drink.
Make popcorn.
Channel your inner Buddha.
Respond rationally.
Breathe.

I likey, especial the drink part.
Op, remember this is a public board. opinions vary. I sort of think whenever you post whether it's asking a question, venting or asking for support you gotta take the good with the bad.

I don't mind the flames, I hate the name calling....

I am starting to wonder if there is some history being rehashed here of which I am not privy to and do not understand .

huh

 

[Cantw8]

do people really report others on this board? that seems so "i will tell my mom on you"ish.

Ohhh, there so are I chalk it up to jealousy and an inferiority complex Same way that some make up usernames to stalk others, pretty junior high, yes?

 

[LaraK]

Oh cool...am I getting flamed? I never seem to get flamed and I post some damn stupid stuff on here.

No history, just noticing a high number of threads lately that get "deleted".

Yes people report others...they do it all the time. Some people will post trap threads just to get people riled up and then report them.

Im sorry but that made me laugh out loud

 

[lisadr]

Usually I take it in stride. I keep my mouth shut day & night in my real life for the sake of 'fitting in'. I like the freedom to think out loud here and I respect other people's right's just as much. So flames are ok, if they get unreasonable I just think to myself how happy I am I don't have to live with these people and can unplug these folks at will with a click of my mouse

Let it out

 

[teacups]

Depends. I might get a little touchy becasue there are so many flakes with big mouths (oh crap, did I say that outloud?)

Leaving now....

Surely you have noticed that there are a few regular posters who love to post what is sure to be controversy and then abandon their thread after a short time.

I get the pot stirring, and those who just love to spar-but to start a thread just to bait people so you can report them-I can't even wrap my mind around that.

I have gotten flamed and then had the flamers taunt me into reporting them. I didnt I took the good posts with the bad and told them such. I put on my big girl undies and took my punches. If I am going to start a thread then that is what you have to do. I admit when I first came on the CB I was "hurt" by the flames. Some nice Diser pmed me and told me it was ok, some posters were like that, stick with it and grow a tougher skin.

Sometimes I see a thread posted and groan inwardly for the poster.

Sometimes I do that and sometimes I just shake my head and wonder where their head was. They post suck crazy stuff you know the flames are coming. The infamous microwave cake thread comes to mind.

Then there are the "dead horse" threads. The ones that people start making side wagers for the over/under on lockage.

Yes some people dont seem to learn a lesson.

As someone who has certainly been flamed; it doesn't bother me until it gets personal. Many times I will start a thread for the sake of discussion. It is entertainment, something to talk about, something to do. Some opinions I am very committed to, some are just a casual interest. When I get bored with the topic, I walk away. Sometimes I think there are a few posters who are more "concerned" about my opinions than I am.
