I don't understand it either. That's why I hardly ever posted in NWCC back in the days of WC. It really bugged me that I civil conversation about "which purse should I buy" could turn into, "Excuse me, but you said you didn't have any money, so you don't have the right to buy a nice purse." Yes, that really did happen too. Someone actually had the nerve to tell someone who was asking a simple question about a purse that they had no right to buy an expensive purse because they had mentioned in another thread how money was tight right now
( ... )
OMG, that purse story is a riot. Who act’s like that?
I tend to agree with your theory (to some degree) and strongly believe that some people behave like that just because they can. Sometimes I feel like I can spot those people and they tend to do it consistently but I think something else is motivating 50% of the other people and I have no real understanding of what it is. They got me, I’m stumped.
2. Being that all the CC people are transformers from WC. I always felt like you couldnt be honest and un-rainbows and unicorns because 'its a wedding channel and everyone is so fucking peachy keen'. So thats just rolled over to CC. Now its mostly just the same old people from wc, and a lot of them are the opinionated ones.
I guess you could mention what you did here in that thread. If people dont like your opinion - F them, its just that.... YOUR OPINION. You didnt say it was written in stone, and even if it was - why should everyone agree?
I was just chiming in to say that I also agree with Beth. I think that for some people, it is easy to hide behind a username and say things that they probably wouldn't have the guts to say to someone's face IRL. For others, I think it is the simple fact that they're just bored and have nothing better to do but stir the pot and then sit back and watch the carnage unfold.
This is one of the reasons why I steered clear of NWCC...there was just too much hostility and negativity and pointless arguing for me to get any kind of enjoyment out of any of the threads. This made me sad because there is so much good that could be taken from the community - we all have so much crap to deal with IRL, why drag it online?
Maybe that makes me stupid and naive, but still, it's my opinion.
Oh, you gotta tell me where this is so I can check it out.
I have no idea why people get so weird on message boards. I am at the crossroads of my own CC potential fight but I do not want to go there.
I get annoyed when people expect strangers on a message board to respect their feelings! It drives me friggin crazy. Um, it is not up to a virtual aquaintance to walk on egg shells around another person's sensitivity! Especially when it is no way malicious.
