Redeye007  The "online" world can be "extremely" hostile. Some people, myself included, tend to spend a huge amount of time online and as the old saying goes; "familiarity can often breed contempt,: (or, something like that)USM is a whole different world, because it is monitored, and although we may get a little frisky, sometimes, the admins keep it clean and respectful. I learned to be careful where I venture. You are correct in saying that some people will lash out at whoever wanders in and expresses a belief or an opinion. Anyway, I'm very thankful for USM. Write on..... "L.D."---That's it! Is that the best that you can do? Ugh! kronk---See what I mean?   |

...I know what you mean. As a grown adult in my 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, I have had the unique opportunity to attack people that I don’t know and am never going to meet. I would say that ninety percent of the time my replies are in jest and would like to believe that the people that receive these replies are cognizant of that fact. Some are not and feel slighted. That was never my intention. I do try to offer good advice in my own twisted way and save the true insults for another member of USM that should feel shame for his inability to string words together to form a coherent sentence. You should read your replies more often and try to shed that thin skin that prevents you from having a truly enjoyable online presence.  |

I'm sorry that happened you. Ironically, social media seems to be a terrible place to socialize. One of the best and simultaneously worst things about the Internet is that it has allowed individuals who share similar views to find each other. Humans are more comfortable when they are around like-minded people. Overtime, you don't get exposed to other views, opinions, or ideas. Eventually, when you are exposed to somebody who holds an alternative view - it can be very troubling to you. We lash out. We become more polarized. More confident in our views. Twitter, for example, is extremely polarized and is filled with very nasty comments and arguments about almost everything. We are forgetting how to talk to one another. My approach to social media is to either: A) Not read comments or replies. or B) Understand that if I do read them, they may be hurtful and/or cause frustration.  |

In response to Hekler’s comments…I am the 10% that he has always targeted and as such he has no sense of compassion towards my plight of the inability of stringing a coherent sentence together. Is it my fault that I’m allergic to Cockatiel’s?  |

...okay. I just used the universal translator on Hey Larry's reply to me and it seems like he wants some food. SIT boy! |

I haven't come across mean or nasty comments towards me, but I have seen it happen to others. I do know that if and when it should happen to me, I'd ignore them plain and simple. I also know that if I was a person who got hurt and upset by nasty comments should it happen, it would be time to get off those social sites..Anyone taking offense on those sites, should never have been on them in the first place...Now that's just my opinion Felix, but maybe those sites are not for you my friend...  |
