It is too beautiful of a morning and too lovely of a day to do this, but l feel l really need to say something: l tend to be a very optimistic, up-beat, and positive person...even when life is kicking me in the teeth, l find a way to smile about it (toothless grin not withstanding!). That being said, l abhore being around or being exposed to constant negativity and pessimism. It drains my energy and there is no space for it in my life. Be that as it may, l have had a few people make 'not so polite' remarks on my posts. Some l just ignore and others will receive a direct retort. It doesn't matter if the remark is directed at me or not. Side bars and off handed comments will NOT be tolerated. If a person can't take the hint and continues, there is NO second chance; there is NO second warning. I WILL BLOCK YOU. I had to do it this morning (thus creating the reason behind this post). My posts are about health, happiness, gratitude, and sharing some of that with all of you! I am the controller of my life, my destiny, AND my page! For those of you who appreciate it and respond with kindness and positivity, keep it up!! For anyone who thinks they can come and 'dump their trash on my lawn', you have clearly underestimated me!! Now let's go out and make some memories! PEACE!!
I've felt like blocking 2 people but I didn't. They had their little hissy fit, publicly, and I figure karma will take care of the rest. (not that I literally believe in karma). It's just how they live their lives and they don't need any help from me if you know what I mean!
People don't learn if never given guidance. Just like children don't learn manners unless they're taught or reprimanded. I didn't write this post to incite debate around it. You are welcome to 'live and let live'...but not everyone is so inclined.
Stay positive, Free_2B_Me. Keep sharing inspiring words and thoughts as it does brighten the day. Thank you.
Thank you!? Just doing my part to make the world a better place!
I think your attitude is great. Block them when they something terrible to insult you. I've blocked maybe 4 or 5 people. What a great feeling not being attacked for some harmless thing I said. Heck... I really want to be friends with everybody but trolls come after you and twist your comment around and end up making your post their sounding board. Dont hesitate.... you will find so much peace of mind... there are 30,000 members on this forum. I know 99% of them will love what you have to say.?
Thank you!? Share the love!
Yikes!
Of all the peeps here who wouldn't be picked on.. I'd put you in the top five.
Haven't been picked on, per se....just seen sideways comments...sarcasm...stuff that has no business being here...l'm not expecting an ego boost or atta-girl from anyone (because l do it for me), but l sure as hell don't need someone else's BS stinking up my posts!?
Luckily, I haven't run across any serious negativity on my posts, and haven't felt the need to block anyone. Here's hoping you stay positive!
It doesn't have to be 'over the top' to be negative and/or unnecessary. To me, if someone can't say something positive or supportive in some way, they should just be quiet. Even something 'meh' or neutral is better than negativity!?
