Behaviors of "others"

Why do so many people here on a support site care so much about the behavior of others?

As long as members observe the TOS (many do not but that is allowed due to poor management), then what's the big deal?

DS is not the military with all the rules & regulations of behavior.

DS is not like a communist country where free speech is not allowed.

If members want to post what THEY want, why can't that be respected & accepted.

If someone is very upset over the death of Michael Jackson, why do some people get angry & abusive towards them?

Why do some people get pissy about how others support members?

If members want to talk about God, why does it anger other members so much?

Life with depression & other mental illness is hard enough without being bashed & criticized on a support site.

Peace

" well i too am not a jazzer fan however,Uhm, what blonde says is very true. back in the day when the board was fun, jazz was one of the more active and vocal of members. i was there to witness this so no, blonde is not overstating on this point. but that was in the "good ole days" so to speak. "

" Actually Jazzer was amongst a lot of vocal and active members, many of whom are still members to this day.

The main point of objection to this post was that there was again no need for it. It was posted after events had unfolded and been resolved (something that has happened several times before) and that is what was pointed out but, as per usual, those with opposing views to jazz were painted as being the Bitches of Eastwick and that's utterly ridiculous.

" you are not on the end of my comments to you kitter that would ever hurt you. you have a big gigantic chip on your shoulder and this why you take all that is said so personally..., look. i understand as much as i can.. i have a chip on mine. for a different reason. but a boulder is on my shoulder.. i have always supported you and you know it!!!! you all want to talk about being honest here and not enabling a person.. well lets do that. first of all let me say this.... i could never in a million years have the intelligence and the ability to write as you do, so i will simply put my feelings in simple terms.. i am not defending jazz at this moment.. there are may opinions on here that need to be resolved... one is that people have the right to their feelings and opinions on any subject that does not hurt another . another is that certain people think they can dominate this place and tell others how to feel and what to post... i am not in a clique... i have a lot of friends here and if they want to drop me, this is their choice. i love you kitter. i really love you...... you know i do.. how can you kick me to the curb just because i wish for you to give the same rights to others as you want for yourself.. listen i know you have had a terrible experience....it is heartbreaking to me.....i am not enabling anyone, not you and not jazz..... this is my feeling and not yours and not jazz;s or anyones. i have the right to post as i feel here as long as i am not hurting anyone.. i sometimes feel there is a power play here as to who can be the " queen of ds"... well to me we are all the same... no one here is all right and neither are they all wrong... why can't you both find a common ground here. i am sorry i am feeling you have no more love for me simply because i disagree with you... well kitter, you know what???? i love you... i love you for all the nights you helped me... if you cast me away, i will accept it... i will still love you kitter...... xxx sheila "

" Tough love: " put your own abuse aside for once and think of others" "only money grabin liars settle out of court," hmm anyway that you can just take what is said in the spirit of friendship and not throw threats out like "if you need to believe that your actions have not created the end of this friendship then you keep telling yourself this."?.. holding your friendship for hostage because you dont like what is being said to you really stinks. i know it first hand.
