Ha ha, I have, for a length of time, perceived most forums as extremely hostile and inconsiderate communities, and the ones which do not appear as such, I must say, are often battlegrounds for online drama, deceit and general brouhaha which has had me evict myself from most of these sort of places. I used to love forums, but for the most part, my black heart now rejects most of them. XD
It is extremely sad to see that your intent to spark some discussion was met with such rude and nonchalant behaviour, and extremely immature behaviour at that. I am thinking that if you specified your intent a little more, it would have made no difference.
But, such is online. There are rare gems every here and there, and maybe our little corner of the cyberworld meets no such hostilities because we have nothing to offer, however anyone is always welcome, and we can only use more people to add to the obscure nature of our family. XD Any intent here is genuine, and as I have said before, is what keeps me coming back to these calm but comforting shadows.
Depending on which skin one uses...XD
This place feels like running cold water over an infected wound. Not very romantic or poetic but, I really mean it.
But what can one say, the entirety of most of online suffers from the Wild West effect, such behaviour is to be expected. I am glad you could laugh at it, for that is all one can do. To worry about online drama would only render one crazy, and for nothing, no less. I would rather wallow in my own misery and feel sorry for myself because I was dumped rather then to worry about someone being rude because they are too lazy to post information pertaining to the subject matter of their community and feel insulted when inquired upon such, which indeed, is the origin of the ''online forum''. Why have an information or news section if it is not to be updated? In the least, insulting anyone who asks about it is not very reporter like, and lacks professionalism.
This place, and one other community which I frequent are the only two where the people are so friendly and nice...and even the other place is founded upon courtesy and etiquette; it is all superficial and generic.
*Hugs everyone!* This place is for real though.
