I have been lurking these board for awhile now, and I'll see a poster make a comment that might be a little out of line, or even down right rude, and some of the ones that call that poster out on it, are the very ones who make lots of rude comments themselves, or even worse than that, and come across as major know it alls. I guess they can't stand rude comment competion, must be something that they lacked from childhood? Carry on.
What you've observed is hardly exclusive to Love Shack.
In any such board, forum, newsgroup, etc., tasteless, inappropriate, and/or patently offensive postings may, or likely will subject the writer to a barrage of commentary, snide or otherwise. The offending posts may be deleted by moderators, & the sender possibly banned.
Common courtesy would dictate that resulting flame wars be conducted off-board, but often that does not happen.
Keep in mind we're all "discussing" w/o the benefit of tone of voice or facial expressions, so somethings can be easily misconstrued.
This is true, however there are times its obvious and plain as day what people mean in their typing.

This is my point. I would like to become a member, it takes awhile for my posts to post becasue as I am a quest, but I don't know that I want too. I have seen where some people will call someone else a dumbass, or that they are stupid. Or plain out hateful in their answers to another. What is the point in that? This is a place for advice and suggestions no to get bashed with hurtful words etc. I guess those people who say things like that, their lives are so screwed up they feel the need to say things like that. These are the same people who say these things to, who one minute will make a post about how great their relationship is, then the next day turn right around and say how crappy it is. Theya re real quick to give out hurtful advice and think they know it all, when infact I wonder if its becasue they don't even know whats going on in their own lives.
The site is all about life. You have a little bit of everything.I guess you just dont have to take it personal. Just view the advice or comments as different people who give them. You have to take the good with a little bit of the bad.Some might be mean some might be very helpful. We are humans and we dont view things the same way
Sometimes you have to take peoples comments with a grain of salt. I'm sure thats easier said than done. My favorite posts are the ones where people will come up with a post, it comes across as not serious at all, and is obvious with the responses it gets, for they joke back. Then the OP poster comes back and gets pissed saying it is a serious post and has a serious problem with whatever is going on. However, nothing about their post seems serious at all nor their replies. I would inagine thats just a attention type of post becasue it was lacked from certain areas of their life. I have seen that type of thing in forums before. I would ignore it.
What's really getting on my nerves lately is that somebody will post with a serious topic, and then people turn it into sex or just attacking people. It just seems to be more prevalant lately. I dunno what's going on. It's really going downhill, IMHO. And I know I'm not the only one that feels like this. In my opinion, it's really just the same ones over and over. As I said, somebody will start needing advice, and then a few posters just completely hijack the thread, and the OP just leaves, because it's gone way off topic, and they don't get the advice they were looking for. i've seen it with a few threads. but this is a good topic
