I feel so my happier here than on the message boards!

My friends here do not judge me for my choices! And that means a lot, I can speak my mind here and feel I am not having to defend myself to others that I know online but will never meet...
Why is it that people online feel the need to CONTROL others online and PUSH their opinions on others, is there really a need for that? Why can't people discuss topics as adults without aking offence and getting nasty??
I recently changed message board systems and since then I have had major problems with people that seem to think they have a right to judge me? And if I disagree with them they get really nasty like I have no right to feel hurt or upset by how many of them have treated me? Aparently it is okay for others to put me down and treat me badly but I am not allowed to feel upset by any of it and God Forbid I try to defend myself, that aparently is not allowed! How sad is that! I'm just venting here nobody has to support my rants in this post I'm just feeling sorry for myself... I'll get over it!

Some people can't let anyone have an opinion that may be more accurate than their own. As well, they hate others who have lives and live them, when they themselves "have" to live in the Internet fantasy of choice for them.Or maybe they just do it for attention cause in the real world they don't feel they matter. No matter, take whatever view you like! Its your blog Deb! More power to ya!

Thank you Judie, I just find it sad that others feel the need to be like this, life is way too short to act like this.

I'd like to know which groups are acting this way with their members! I've been hearing a lot of this! And, I've seen it happen in the past! I hope I never come across as one of "those" people! "Who am I to judge"!

Eleanor , I don't think you know the message Boards I am reffering too, this is not on any craft group this happened all on a message board system that I thought I was chatting with friends and nice ladies , I was very wrong to think that and have now been burnt twice by these so called sweet friendly ladies, most of the ladies there are really nice but a few are very mean and I guess because I am use to people being nice on my craft sites I got taken in.

Deb,
I am sorry about the past. I agree the were a stressful thing. I too have decided to leave the message board scene for the most part and resort to blogs. blogs are much more peaceful and more like journals than messageboards. not sure if you have been on my board to see, but I am closing my board to focus on my family, and my Father in Heaven.
see ya on the blogs.
keep in touch. hugs to yah!
April

(Sorry) Yes I seen that you are closing your board, I know how you feel this whole silly board issue's has really been getting me down I have started to go back to posting on my old EzBoard faves about books and crafts I feel safe and happy at those type of boards :) What about your blog I posted on the other day and I have linked from here is that staying?

You never know who you are dealing with on the internet... Some people have nothing better to do than judging and attacking others... It seems like acting that way releases their frustration of life on people online like they were not real persons and don't have feelings...

Myself, on boards, I avoid some topics because I know how ugly it can turns out... But sometimes also you might hurt some people's feelings without meaning it...

I am so sorry you got hurt...

Deb,

I too like April have taken most of my boards and have had my membership deleted because of what you posted in your entry. I just am enjoying boards that I have an interest with. I am doing more blogs than anything right now, and I feel I am safe to say and do what I like. And if people don't like it they can just take me off their list. I want to have peace and happiness in my life. And just so sorry this happened.
Anyway, nice to have you around and hope to see you often.

Friends,
Becky

Becky I am finding I just can not please these people on the message boards, I feel I need to be a certain way to make these people happy, and that is just not me, I wanted to make friends on the message boards with people who have the same interests as me, but I found lately that it just did not happen I felt judged by people and not good enough for them, I have never felt any of that on the blogs or my yahoo groups, I feel happy and safe on them and people offer to help me with my knitting problems when I have them because they want too, not because they want to show off and seem better than me.
