I've been here in the forums since 2003. Most of the "flaming" I have seen has occured because some reject from Springer who watches too much Oprah comes on here with a 
sob story looking for vindication for their point of view. When they don't get the reaction they were looking for, or better yet, get ridiculed for their stupidity, then everyone who points out their lack of adult behavior is being mean-spirited and downright rude. What you drama queens need to do is GROW THE FORK UP!!!! and realize that this is the real world and sometimes despite what your mommy and Barney told you; you are NOT all that special.
PS: Elaine, will you marry me?

Beautifully said Vrai. I am a newbie. I enjoy the forums; there seems to be a lot of cool people on here. I'm not going to say I've been ridiculed or flamed, because I don't feel I have; I've made bonehead comments and been called on them, I've made comments that some thought were funny and others chose to give me Red Karma for, and I've seen posts that I didn't necessarily agree on. The posts I didn't agree with, I chose not to read, or comment. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and it is not my place to try and changes one's opinion.
So stop trying to change the forums.
I can read between the lines.

Or do you smile, introduce yourself and try to find some people you have something in common with, while avoiding the drunk with the lampshade on his head?
VRAI, I thought you weren't going to tell anyone about me wearing that lampshade!!!

The other night I was PWD and I made the comment, "Quick! Pandora! Has my karma gone down???"nachomama said:
I checked the next day and there was a red karma for that post that said, "Yes
"
If I were a different type of person, I might have gotten on and started ranting about red karma, demanding to know WHO gave it to me, and being a whiner in general. But, unlike some, I find that stuff highly amusing and don't get my knickers in a twist over dots on a computer screen.
