There's all kinds of people out there and people get over confident typing behind a computer. I learned my lesson. The administrator does a good job at trying to keep things in check. Thanks administrator.

I too have been bullied and hurt badly on this forum. It is NEVER the people who have an avatar picture, believe me and NEVER the people who show up at the Crispers meeting. I know of several good friends who were depressed for WEEKS after bullying on here. It is something you would think that people old enough to live here would know about.
I don't think disagreeing with someone is bullying. It is all how you phrase it and you cannot hide a kind heart OR a mean one.
I use some nasty discriptors on here. I use ****, and damn and hell. That is how I talk in real life.....at times. I guess that the word sucks just kinda picks at me. I don't know why. There are many here that are not good spellers, but that doesn't make them not wise. Some folks have a slight form of dyslexia and envisioning letters and words is not easy. Many successful and very smart people are bad spellers. Even good spellers forget at times when typing.
There are some of our age or older because of family circumstances had to go to work and to not finish school, but they still ended of financially able to come here and live and bless them for that.
I would like to apologize if I hurt the person that used the word suck. I didn't mean to hurt you. It just does remind me of "whatever" and whatever the terms are now that teens use. Our two grands are young adults and pretty articulate by now, but I hated that phase.
There are ALL kinds of people here and you can tell by their postings whether there would be kindness in their eyes and fairness in their hearts if you would meet them and know them in person and maybe SOME have somehow missed the bad places and sad places and awful worries that most of us have experienced to get to be at least 55. By that time most people have learned compassion, the hard way. Awful things usually cause us to be more considerate of others.
And sometimes it just makes us bitter. And some people just don't care about other people and never will.
And somedays I just wake up as mean as a snake. I think we all do.
It helps to be reminded. Thank you CarolSells.
Disagreeing with people is NOT bullying. Joking can be...but it is a little lesser evil.
Just my humble opinion. ............sigh................again.
