Why do people have to be so disagreeable? Does it make them feel better?
If you say one thing that differs with an angry persons opinion they become angry or insulting to you. In other words its like your not allowed to have your own opinion on something. No matter what it is , whether it be about medication or the way you feed your dog or politics, some are going to have different opinions.
So why is it some people just cant take anyone disagreeing with their opinion?
It doesnt make them feel better its just a way for them to vent. They are not happy people because they have a problem they cant handle going on in their life. Their expectations are greater that their reality so anger occurs. They have a need to be correct. You cant argue with them you can only appeal to their soft side . killem with kindness.
But then does that not leave you feeling frustrated because you have to be so careful with your words; what you say and how you say it. Do you feel like you better not say anything at all for fear of starting an argument?
So what do you do when your in a environment where you have an angry person? How does the rest of the community deal with this without becoming frustrated, moving on, or lashing out? Why is it we feel such a strong need to voice our opinion at any cost? Is it because we were born in American and told that we have the freedom of speech and we should stand up for ourselves. I mean now days we are literally told it is all about you
Your opinions: how do you handle it? How should we handle it?

I am greatfull for the friends that I have made here. to all of you I wish you the best, and I pray that you will stop hurting each other and think before you lash out at others, and try a bit harder to think about how your words might hurt some body else. we all have issues of own to deal with, we come here for support and understanding. I beleive there is power in postive thoughts, but there just seems to be to much negativity at this site.
If we get attacked or a friend in need gets attacked for posting asking for help it is a natural reaction for our claws to come out and defend ourselves or our friends here.
I just wish if someone has something negative to say to those posters, they should stop and think how they may hurt someones feelings who may be having a bad day, or going thru personal hell.
I am trying very hard to remain positive on here, and ignore the ones who try to start something. But...If they attack me, or a friend I am going to start using PM intsead of the board.
I think we have a wonderful group of people here and we all are entitled to our opinions.
As for the different topics, all should be allowed, even the OT and fun ones. We all are hurting and sometimes humor is the best way for me, Personally to occupy my mind. Thats why I love DS, we have such diversity here, and so many people from different countries, but we all have this one thing in common, and its Fibromyalgia.
Let's unite, and agree to disagree once in awhile. We are all different personalities and in different situations.
Like so many before me have said, TRY to IGNORE the negative posts, don't respond to them or the inflammatory posts. They are just looking to tart a fight, and if we don't respond, they will get tired of the BS, and move on to either being suppotive, or go somewhere else, where they can get the s**t started.
JUST MY OPINION...:)
