OK....because I'm a "hand puppet," and a host of other things called by Wilomn, I'm gonna parrot some more things. I'm old enough not to be afraid of any one that isn't paying my bills or actively doing anything that directly affects me. I won't be made to feel that I can't post somewhere or someone will turn on ME (this manipulation actually works on some).
I had fun in the thread! What if BG was just poking fun at people's tendency to believe whatever is said on the Internet? If it was said here by some of you, it MUST be true, right?
What I learned a long time ago, is that the forum (any forum) can be filled with self-serving liars, and the one with the nastiest mouth is the one that people will try to avoid getting attention from.That doesn't mean anyone "fears" them, it just means that a lot of us know that "LIFE IS TOO DAMN SHORT TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH NEGATIVENESS IN ANYONE."
I know eventually, the members will get tired of snarky snipes (there is a difference in tone even on the Internet between snarky snipes and good clean poking fun at a general behavior).
**I learned a loooong time ago, to take everything said on the Internet with a grain of salt, so this "lesson" (if that's what it was) didn't affect me adversely. Perhaps the ones that tend to believe everything said, now have an understanding that even if someone is a breeder or flipper, that doesn't necessarily mean that we should take everything they say as "gospel."
