fuhgeddaboudit...part 1

I think that's the best advice for anyone here, especially new members. There are more good people than bad on this site...just got to ignore them, I guess...

 

Well I can’t say I always give good advise but they I have my moments

 

Daisy send me a conversation message and why up so early or so late how ever you see it

 

I'm actually at the gym. . Need to work off some stress...

 

Nice well get ur gains on girl oh yea lol well get at me when your done

 

If you guys can't see what you've done (yes I know you personally weren't involved VG) then there's no point in going on about it further. If this is the way this site must be now & this is how it's members choose to portray themselves so be it. Nothing I can say that'll affect that train. Perhaps just think about how many more newcomers have to leave due to the negativity they are met with here. I could name at least 3 since I showed back up 2 months ago 4 if Ms. Daisy leaves.

 

Anyone here who has a dissenting opinion from a core groups views, is a troll. Or a Russian Bot etc. I find it quite entertaining myself. Sort of like watching an aquarium of pirhanas swimming around with each other. Then you drop a carp in the aquarium. The first thing the pirhanas say to the carp is.....we are all fish here.

Eventually when there are no more carp, the pirhanas eat themselves Darwin style.

 

Yeah, that will happen here. I'm not trying to discourage you, but, yeah...it happens. For a bunch of hippies, folks 'round here can be uptight.

Just play it cool, don't engage with people trying to get a rise out of you, and in time, you'll become part of the community.

 

Although I deleted my original thread, I think it's easy to see the responses from certain members that were filled with hatred and cruelty directed to me. I don't think these personal attackers reflect this forum, but they certainly give it a bad name and make new members unjustly uncomfortable.
We certainly have enough hate speech with the current administrstion. I feel this has given acceptance to the prejudice, racism, hate mongering and personal attacks that are so prevalent in today's society.
On a smaller degree, on a certain hip forum, some members have felt emboldened to behave in a similar fashion.
I certainly appreciate what you wrote and hope future folks who happen across this site feel welcome and will want to stay and most importantly, be treated in a respectful way.

 

The HFs "welcoming committee" was in place long before the current administration. This is one thing that can't be blamed on President Trump, lol.

 

It's sad that this behavior was allowed for so long on this forum. Apathy is a choice, too.
