I read Chosen's post & all the replies. Chosen ABSOLUTELY has a point! Some of us come here wanting to make a difference in our own town.
Some of us care about our neighbors, and would rather not have another poster drag our name or reputation into the ground. Neighbors are supposed to support each other.
Lil gets that...a few others do! However, there are SOME that are here to try & make themselves feel better with their vicious words...they make many of us hesitate to post. We all grew up on that playground, somewhere, that we were afraid of being different. These very people were the ones that were willing to go that extra ''mean'' mile to make us feel ''unworthy''. They usually won! They found support with the people that were afraid to be strong!
I ABSOLUTELY agree with you, Chosen. There have been times that a person has tried to post an innocent, well written & heart felt post...and BEEN MADE FUN OF & RIDICULED over & over. The original post, in many cases has never been addressed.
I agree with you that our town is capable of MORE than that, this site is capable of drawing an audience that CAN step up to the plate and behave like adults, not children on a playground. You stepped up to that plate, so did Lil, & a few others. I'm with you. This site could be so much more.
