A lot of anger lately...

Last edited Thu Aug 6, 2015, 07:10 PM - Edit history (1)

I just got yelled at via mail from a member for something I didn't post.
I told the member I thought they replied to the wrong person, and they shot back screaming louder still.
I respect some for their ability to shout back and forth, but I stay out of the yelling.
Crazy daze here on DU.
I'm grateful DU has the "ignore" feature.
Sheese!

emotional response, back-at-ya with a loud and loaded vengence is unfortunate and out of control.

Angry members are here & they don't let up either.
You wouldn't believe how long my IGNORE List is!!!

3. Ah..but frankly, we know you were thinking about posting that message that you didn't post.

We don't cotton to that type of thinking here, partner.

Seriously, don't take it all to heart. DU is like the ocean's waves...flowing in and out...

You should see some of the member's posts that have been hidden for almost nothing..

9. I've only had that happen once in my time here.

Almost ten years, but it only happened back during the Lounge Wars lol.

As ugly as GD can get, it was a Lounge squabble that apparently upset someone enough to send me a nasty pm.

I was actually rather amused at the time.

Howler-a letter from your parents that yells at you: from Harry Potter, forget which book.

Stay calm, it is hard enough looking through your junk-mail more-or-less dealing with somebody not taking the time to look back at the original posting...

Sanders & O'Malley peeps are pissed about the belated paltry slow-motion
DWS/DNC debate schedule just announced by the DNC.

Who did I leave out?

It's too bad those accusers, who get their information second hand, don't look for the facts first.
