LesleyB said:I agree with the person that made the first post. I came to the forums hoping to find some locals with good and useful information regarding good apartments to live in, areas to avoid, etc... (Because I'm new to the area). There was one thread I found where someone, like me, asked for info and mainly got sarcasm, very little useful info, and people picking apart her post and being mean. My experience so far here in Southern Maryland has been that locals are not outgoing and friendly and are mean spirited smart ***es. I'm from the South, I guess this is just the way Northerners are. However, I have met a few that are nice. I guess the nice ones are out with friends and the rest spend their time on these forums making other people feel stupid so they can feel better about themselves.
Well..just when I was about to leave this thread - I saw your post. Well...welcome to the SOMD message forums anyways. Sorry you got a bad impression of the majority of the people here. As you will soon discover, there is a minority of bullys here who do just as you said "making other people feel stupid so they can feel better about themselves." They are on the boards a lot so they give the impression that they represent the majority of the members here...but they dont. Its just a fog that their nasty nature creates and often fools new members. If you attempt to stand up and defend someone who makes their concerns known....expect to get red for it. But dont let that bother you. The red they give is of such little value because the majority give plenty of green. Oh..and dont expect such folks to sign their red either - they find it easier to make blind stabs at people who they dont know.
If ya have any questions about the area....PM me.

Nothing to see here
Example of someone that gets it
Ms Tess has exactly 2 posts, prime example of someone brushing off the nonsense.

Amen! lol but we are a social grouping and should abide by some form of socially accepted bahaviors. Being hateful to people has yet to be a socially accepted behavior. would you agree?

Elaine,
I understand and perhaps you are right. But the new members do not know veterans of the forum. How are they to understand one member's sarcasm as being a joke? They dont know the people here....veterans should be understanding of that. How can you fault someone for not understanding the behaviors of the folks in the forum when they have never been here before? I've seen many new people ask questions to get helpful information but all they get is picked on. Thats not fair is it?
I know...some of yall are trying to just rile me up....and no....I'm not...and nor taking your punches seriously. I was trying to discuss a issue which I felt was valid.....while others saw as trival and an opportunity to be uncivil.
Oh well...

Its an internet forum. A lot of useful information is found on the front page of somd.com. While some of the people on here are a cynical or sarcastic, most are willing to help. But some are just ###holesTexasPride77 said:
