i got one. made me chuckle. especially after reading an article titled jerks of the web on msn that hubby sent me today. anonymous whining. scary stuff.
we're not taunting. it's no joke or mock invitation. no bait and switch just to get someone to contribute so we can knock them down. we genuinely want people to post and say hi and let us get to know them as they get to know us. if you are afraid of someone disagreeing with you, i have no advice - life is full of adversity. if you are afraid of someone being nasty - again, i have no advice, the world is full of jerks. if i went through life worrying about whether or not people agreed with me or whether they may get nasty if they didn't like my opinion, i might decide to disguise myself and send whiney warnings to people too. but i do wish you could have felt secure enough to come out and give us an honest shot at getting to know you and understanding your reluctance to post instead of deciding to PM people with generalized complaints. you're words "stop taunting us" indicate that you've been appointed by others to speak on their behalf, but some how i doubt it. you also failed to notice that for every one person who chose to bail at the first sign of adversity or heated disagreement, there are at least 20 who didn't. i cannot hold myself responsible for the thin skin of other people. i will not hold back an opinion because i am worried someone will disagree or get their feelings hurt. i will not apologize for my opinions. i also try to never make it personal. this applies on-line and off.
like moose said, good thing we're all different, otherwise life would be boring indeed.
perhaps you should take your own advice, wxyz and begin acting like an adult. take responsibility for your own opinions and actions and don't be afraid to share them.
