Now Rice, that was at least 4 cents worth and you know it....

In "real life", most of these folks would not conduct themselves in the manner that they tend to on a forum.

Would you not agree? Give me 2.5 more cents worth.

Ha ha... Thanks, bgh.

I would goddamn well hope that these folks would not conduct themselves in the same manner they do on forums in their personal interactions. Unfortunately, I have worked with some pretty hateful, spiteful, lying, backstabbing people during my career (some real stories there!)... and sometimes I am reminded of them when I see some of the ugly comments directed at others here. That being said, I suspect that they are cowards and that this is a target-rich environment for them, as they see the members as nameless, faceless targets they can abuse anonymously. I liken that to a suckerpunch. Or worse yet, many.

Did I make it to 2.5 cents??

It's amazing how people lose their one-dimensional "avatar" status and become real.

Tomorrow evening, sometime?

Great post.... I would call that at least 3 cents worth.

I would have to believe some people here do not possess the skills needed to develop real and long-lasting personal relations off the forum.

I don't get how nameless,faceless people can have an impact on anybody. Most people say stuff they have no clue about and tell lies anyway.If anybody takes this stuff seriously then they need to practice esteem building because they're seriously lacking in it.

Why do you assume most people tell lies on a forum? Are you including yourself in the "most people tell lies" category?

Most people who have good self esteem don't go around bullying others, Dreams. They do it to bolster their own sagging self esteem.

I'm in. Chrissy, what's your availability? Teo usually likes to chat with us, and... who else?? Umm, Pacedog. And nochain logged in once.

Where is Teo?? Haven't seen him around in a couple days. Maybe I'll shoot him an email and check on him.

I was so excited about Blue Kitty, I got to playing and snuggling her that I totally forgot to log in. I'sowwy!
