There is so much hate and negativity, such a lack of empathy and of compassion on the forums right now. Even more than usual. It’s overwhelming, I might need to take another six month retreat.
It never seems to change, either. Always the same bad apples trying to sour the rest of the bushel, always trying to force their hatred onto others.
The GD forums has always had it’s abundunce of Hate and Negitivity. Still hidden among it all, are those that are good and positive. Applejack, Rainy, Surfy, You, Hanse, Cyndi, Malochai, Penumbrrae, Romain, Celeta, Hawken’s Lucifuge…Amy many many more. Don’t let anyone drive you away if you wish to be here. You cannot change others. All you can really do is try and stay positive and hope that others will follow.
I do understand the need to leave and recharge however, I do it when I feel that I might become one of those hateful and negative people.
Positive Izzabunny quote of the day
Corrected because I never meant to say the lounge, I meant to say the GD forums. My IPad switched it to lounge. I am very sorry everyone that I’ve met in the lounge is awesome.
I have not found this to be true. Sure in GD and in other places on the forums. The only negativity I’ve seen in the GD Lounge were from the obvious drive by troll posts. Those are few and far between. Am I wrong or did I miss something? Always thought of this place as the Safe Haven of the forums. confused
Yeah, I feel that too. I try to keep myself busy in game or in RL if it is too draining for me. This negativity/hate almost feels contagious. I don’t get why we all can’t just live and let live. You don’t have to have anything at all in common with someone and can still show respect.
I’m not big into sports, though I have a soft spot for… well actually, I guess I don’t when I stop and think about it. My siblings were always the more sporty types; I preferred to write poetry, walk in the woods by myself, or play a video game.
