Yvette was there tonight....... I understand people's frustration .......and I've been in many forums......I find ignore, don't talk to the bad ones, and don't tell the one's that do talk to them not too is the best policy. People all have buttons that can be pushed. I'm no arbitrator of their emotional responses. When they r pushed I laugh at the pusher and sympathize with the pushee........it will all pass and the best you can hope for in this lifetime r like minded friends who make u feel good. Or at least that's what I hope for....so I never let bad, dork, jerks or bullies chase me away from anything. And I never let my friends suffer in silence. Stick around lady don't make Wolves angry GRRRRRRR

Yvette was where? In the chat room? I can't access the room, my firewall says it's a restricted site and I'm not going to reset my firewall just to jump into a chat room, if that's where you were referring to. She wasn't on the USA board and neither were a lot of others who were regular posters until recently.
I've tried to stop negativity before it gets started, the old 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' - it doesn't go over very well. Seems there are a few who apparently like to get angry then get even. I've been here a long time, I've ridden out more battles than I can count and I've lost many good friends because of the aggravation threads.
I don't sweat the Wolf pack, I use to own one - 14 in all, I can hold my own with the best but why should I and why stay when almost every thread turns into another case of one-up-manship, or when two friends gang up on those who try to be reasonable and are trying to see the post from the posters POV. Sure, some newbies come here and make one post and leave and some come here to seriously discuss what makes them unhappy, get bashed around in a not very courteous way and leave and a few come just to agitate. It isn't rocket science to determine which newbie belongs to which group, who deserves a courteous response, who should just be ignored and who is here just to stir up trouble, have a few laughs on us then leave.
