I'm sure it's her personality but having said that we can all learn a so am I.
Now on my post Woman Leader, I acknowledge in verbatim how she acts so all knowing and superior that she went on accusing me of lack of the command for the English language, which given so, why emphasize kn negativity. Why not enhance a post and add value that we can all learn from.
In regards to this post, I truly appreciate all your additions Tom. I'm finishing my doctorate on international education but I just might change to social behavior, lol.
We can change how we react to those things that make us uncomfortable.
We can respond and debate and even lose our temper, but using name-calling and personal insults as a tool of attacking fellow forum members breaks this site's rules.
I have never witnessed Jac using the words moron, idiot, evil, stupid, pathetic, etc. in any of her interactions with people. Even when she has been attacked with these same words.
This is not a post about Jac. It is a post about this thread. Your thread asks a relevant question and your actions are the answer to this question.
That which makes us uncomfortable with others are those things that we dislike about ourselves. If we perceive someone being arrogant and all-knowing, it is because we are quite familiar with those traits in ourselves. That's why we squirm and that's why we react with hostility.
There is a saying that we should be more concerned with the plank in our own eye, rather than the splinter in another's eye.
It was said by a poster that members should not moderate and allow others to speak freely. I absolutely agree with that! What does cross the line though is when we resort to personal insults and childish name calling as our means of debate, which is simply against forum rules. That is not debate and that is not adding anything of value at all to forum discussions.
I have had my say....something TomCat did not allow in his thread. He silenced my voice.
Now I choose to no longer be a participant in your and TomCat's threads. I realize that this means nothing to the two of you and certainly, neither of you will lose any sleep over it. But what it does do is this....I am choosing to no longer invite that negative dynamic into my time spent on these forums, and I choose not to support those members that bully other CS members.
