I don't know....but I am going to ignore the fighting from here on out....it's too stressful.

I AGREE BUT MANY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES SOME LASH OUT IN ANGER!!!!!

I think it is because we are all such different people going though hard times and frustration runs high . .that is just my oppion.

I agree. I think it is shameful also that people ridicule others for expressing their depression or abuse issues. Thats what this site is for. Seeking support over our depression. NOT to use as a venue to attack other members. Especially over issues of depression. Why can't people just learn to get along! HUGS TO ALL WHO AGREE!!!!

i think it is inevitable, sadly. i find that when this crap starts i message my friends and ignore it. or i go to chronic pain forum whwere ppl are cheery. :0

I dont fight, I dont get involved, I just move on.

People have been told over and over and over again to just IGNORE the posts that seem hurtful or hateful.

Just ignore it. Period.

If you read a post and then react to it, guess what? You just signed up for the full package and whatever that brings. There are too many different personalities and too many different viewpoints to honestly believe we will all get along. It won't happen.

So I only chose to participate in the threads that are helpful and in the threads where someone is looking for help.

The fighting threads I just stay out of. They don't upset me. I could care less whats said in them. I just chose to ignore them. And I think if others could control the urge to jump in the fight, DS would be all the more better for it. But some people are just drawn to a train wreck and can't resist the temptation to jump in the argument especially when comments are made that go against there beliefs. So if you chose to jump in the fight, don't cry about it later or get upset and run to Doug when someone says something hurtful to you or about a friend of yours. When you jump in the fight, or start one, you signed up for the full package.

Just ignore the bad posts. I don't know why that is such a challenge to some.

U have many friends that love and understand u :) No one is is perfect as we all know...I just see so much anger and confusion as most here do. I feel the anger leads some to say words that they later might regret and many do. Good to check in every now and then though... Hope ur are OK..

Because life isnt a jar of roses im afraid :) Your best bet is that if you cant cope with people airing their views... not to watch it :) I know a lot of people are like me and have to air their views even if it gets heated, just as you are doing now. You are airing a view that you dont like the arguing..im airing mine that i dont like people belittled and im sorry... but my thoughts on things are just as important as yours :) They are just different thoughts x

*hugs* people are just mean sometimes, we have bad days

Good answer myspirit...it does seem to be a challende not to get involved...but you are exactly right on.

BTW myspirit...ace post :) If i could have put it in those exact words...i would have.
