I have been a member of this site for a little over two years.. amamzing how things happen around here.. I have seen people come in these forums that are truly looking for someone, and have real hope of finding them.. only to get their dreams dashed when they see how we in these forums are.. what a shame..

Some come in and post something about how they feel and there are those of us that slam the hell out of them for posting how they feel...
Why are those of us that do this? Do they have to fall into the main stream to be accepted?

Ok, there is a lot of diversity here, I for one am a Christian, but I don't shove my beliefes down everyone's throuts, I respect that everyone is different.. and I don't slam anyone for how they believe... Yes I have been known to defend other users, but that's because some have stepped way out of line.. I have done this for men and women alike..

Really people, how hard is it to respect someone for how they are or belive? Not very hard I would thing, why dont we just begin to share a little more love, and be better to one another... it really isn't that hard to be nice.. let's help make CS a place for all to truly feel welcome

Come on people.. I know we can all do it.. some of us have been here for a long time, and we are like family.. let's welcome the new ones in with us..

I'm with that!

I've been an outsider here for well over 2 years.

(: charred and still smouldering steps out of the circle of those that love to flame and into the flaming circle of love and shouts:)

Everybody I love you !!!grin grin

I have to say I agree...I have been here for the same amount of time and I will never be nasty to someone unless they are waaaaayyyyyyy out of line by being nasty to me or someone else first....that being said...opinions are not calling others down..calling names and hurting someone....they are merely a point of view..and you can say it without having it be at someone elses expense!!!!!!!

I just joined this site this past week. I spent an hour or so just reading threads. I decided to just plug my nose and jump in. I have not had anyone be overly mean to me. I have run into one person that was a little nasty but I think it is just this persons personality. I am sure I will get used to it. This site is great. Very entertaining at times, sad and informative at others. I will do my best to not to be nasty to anyone.

Indeed, Daniel..... your sentiments are most gracious and well meaning, no less than what we know from you!!
thumbs up

I do believe we can try harder at times, myself included, to be more welcoming.

Sometimes we forget, I'm sure, and we need a little reminder..??

Thanks for that, my friend!! cheers

After seeing what's been occuring in acouple threads the last couple days and this morning between NEW & OLD members I think this thread needed to be brought back up again.


I've only been here alittle over 3 months and have wittenessed some pretty unkind conversations taking place between members on here and have come to realize why some people have chosen to leave this site.

Do we derive in so much pleasure out of hurting and putting down others just because we can or is it because it's part of following the others who do it? Or could it me because we're not happy in our own lives that we have to make everyone elses life miserable too?

Weren't we all new to this site ourselves at one time?


I was taught from a small to Always treat people the very same way I hope they'd treat me in return.
