Are people here too rude?

Your proclamations about the forum as a whole aren't really very fair. We have some of the nicest, most empathetic, and polite people here. But maybe they don't interact with you so you aren't aware of that. Painting us all with the same brush is a very common behavior of at least one other poster here. But since he ignores us all, I am not really sure why he's here or who he's talking about...oh, yeah, you are still on the acceptable list. You should be proud.

I don't believe everyone on this forum is rude. Just a large proportion. Large enough to make posters who try to be civil, like me, think about whether leaving or becoming likewise rude is the best option.

You'll just stay and continue to post in your usual way. I'm calling it now.

Sounds like a goad. But is that what you think best for me to do, or do you think I'd be better to either leave or change my tone?
If you continue to worry about what others think of you, you are going to have issues.

Only psychopaths truly don't care at all about the opinions of others towards them. But here this is simply one of practicality. I want to engage in enjoyable and profitable discussion. It seems my current civil polite tone rubs people up the wrong way and also does nothing to stop more aggressive posters being rude towards me. That is not want I desire. Leaving or changing tone seem obvious options to remedy the situation.

It sounds fake and condescending. There - happy now? Converse like you aren't writing to be published. Like a real person. |
