(7,809 posts)I read the sad tale of the difficulty with the insurance company. It was awful and I sympathized, even though I didn't participate in those threads. That's how we should react. Internet BBSs were an emotional life save for me several years ago so I can understand the need to reach out when things aren't going well. Luckily I had a sympathetic and kind audience. That's all that we should be: a friend who listens. Nobody should lash out at someone who is going through a rough time ESPECIALLY since the one going through the bad time did attack us. So he was upset about politics! Who isn't these days?
I may be a new poster here, but I lurked for a couple years and I'm 55 years old. So Auntie Leith is telling you: be good to each other. There's a difference between blowing off steam and being vicious. We're all in this together so be kind. It will cost you nothing.
