Another night of drama, and I asked my dh what he thought about it all. (I read it off to him), you don't really want to know what he said because it wasn't very nice...for all parties involved. But he did make an interesting comment and I am putting it up here for others to think or respond to. (be honest about it)
What you type when you are being snarky (my fav. word still) to an internet avater/icon, would you go right up to that person's face and say the exact same thing?
Would you actually go right to that person's face and repeat word by word what you type?
I know some people are that way in real life, but most find themselves without any real friends, only followers (from my clique post), or would these people have a good time talking about whatever, maybe disagreeing with something but not being so damned critical about it?
I know I can be a snark about things and in real life I can be quite blunt, but I have always tested the waters first to see if that person could handle my bluntness, and if not, I respect them enough to not be with them. (I learned to bite my tongue around certain people, and still enjoy them)
So be honest, at least to yourself, would you say what you type to a persons face...and maybe not get slapped down for it. (last part is for the those who cut down your children on here like I had two people do just to be jerks)

That is face to face
I have learned that it is never a good idea to say or type what I am really thinking. (at least the initial reaction) Like Karen, it is usually sarcastic and will undoubtedly be taken the wrong way. I even took my time with this comment! LOL!
Sorry I just thought you were referring to me from your comments on another article, but it's all good :) I don't hold grudges. Well, unless you try to ruin something I worked really hard to create but that is usually the only time :)
Oh my! You have had quite your share of sickness/injuries. Cancer really scares me. My mom passed away from cancer when she was 23 & I was 6 months old. I'm 27 now and thank god for every day. What kind of cancer did you have if you don't mind me asking? If you don't want to share, that's ok too.
I'm glad you are in remission and have minimal health problems now! Cancer is a beast!
I think that age is all about how you feel and that if you are young at heart, that's all that matters! I don't ever want to grow up!
I think that some of the drama around here is self created......Not only are people ready to turn what might have been an innocent opinion into something a lot bigger. They take the ball and run with it to please the fans. Just my opinion.
We have a small zoo going on here. . a ferret. . . a chick. . . some cats. . . a goat
No wonder this place is nuts :0)
(she said balls...lol)
sorry, but hotties, balls, goats, pussy cats....wow, this is getting hot in here. (oh thats my butt)
:O)
