You know, I like this forum. I like the people who come on here who are sincere, who need answers, and those who gives answers with sincerety, patience, and respect.
At the same time, I get really bummed out when I see things like this happen. I know I'm new to this forum, but I've been writing in forums and dealing with users online for years. Heck, I'm a moderator in a few forums just like this myself to hundreds of users.
Seeing this, people going back and forth impatiently, starting disputes and just scoffing and insulting one another is probably not a very wise choice, don't you think? Maybe it's just me, but I would be removing people left and right from my groups if people were fighting with each other this way. It's unbelievable!
How can we create a community of people who want to represent positive body mod practices if we can't even treat ourselves positively? Even IF we come across someone we feel like are doing something wrong? What, yelling and spitting profanity doesn't help any; it just throws more fuel on the fire and makes this forum look even worse than it is.
It's just disappointing... it makes me feel bad because I want to be here and enjoy talking to people with the same interests as me, and yet I watch someone getting treated like crap. It doesn't matter what they do; that shouldn't be happening on a public forum for everyone to see and expect to have a good reputation.
All potential goes down the tubes if this is how people are going to respond to others, on BOTH sides. Where is the admin? Where are the moderators?! Who's suppose to be keeping an eye on this and draw the line? This is ridiculous.
