Perfect. I make a post about how there is zero tolerance on this "discussion forum" for anyone's opinions other than the hive mind and I get a response from it's moderator wondering what my problem is.
Psssst... the problem isn't mine but, I'll give you 3 guesses what it is
Soooo... no disability then? I'd re-apply.
There's no "hive mind" mentality I can think of regarding online dating. It's not a political hot button and it's not
a matter of social justice or anything.
If you find YOURSELF at odds with everyone else all the time, you might want to do a little math and
find what's common to all of them.

Oh.. so NOW you want to talk about the OP subject huh? No mention of how, where, and why it went off the rails in the first place huh?
Of course I am at odds. I am not a member of the "friends in real life" club which appears to be the ruling faction on here which is exactly what is "common" on here. Even offering a dissenting opinion on a discussion on here brings the vitriol of the club. I expect that on a board full of video gaming teenagers. Not on one overwhelmingly populated with middle agers or retirees.
It happens all the time. :shrug:
Good grief. Pick your wedgie and stop being such a crybaby.

Not really. You were just pretty much being a dick about it.

Hmm maybe, it was one of the first times I noticed him.
He was pretty condescending.

Crayons are the favorite snack of the Corps, I hear.
Slotted when he got dropped in the men's room?

I don't see why in order to comment in a thread I must also engage in your squabbles with others on here.
You're not the only one here, and your issues aren't the only ones that matter.
But you do have a stick up your butt if you think the reason you get in fights online is because of a hive mentality.
I'm not aware of a hive mind mentality over every single issue.
I get it too. Even from friends. Even from DeeJay. It's part of being a grown-up.
But here's where you're not seeing this - I have made *dozens* of friends on here, many of whom have gone on and left the group but with whom I am still engaged with and participate in my life.
What is different is -
We BECAME FRIENDS - online. Some people, like DeeJay for example - the time between meeting her for the first time and being friends online - was *years*.
Many of these friends, they've come to my home - sometimes, for Thanksgiving dinner. I've been invited to be a part of their wedding - or just to attend. And they were at mine.
I'm comforted friends with the death of their loved ones and helped them with their homes and issues afterward; been through divorces and break-ups; celebrated the births of
their children and have had their kids play with mine. One helped get a new job - and helped me when I lost it. I've helped some move - gone to ball games with them - gone on road trips - and so on.
Done all the things that good friends DO. And those who no longer post - we're still in touch.
All of whom - I met here first. And I 100% guarantee you, we do not agree on all issues.
It sounds like you don't have ANY here. That's a shame.
But you do have a stick up your butt if you think the fault is everyone else.
That's a child's response.
