It's a fine line. I've been posting on message boards for a long time. Sadly, it's the nature of the beast. If you're going to post on a public forum, you have to take the bad with the good. I came close to leaving this place yesterday as I had had enough of some of my posts being torn apart and bashed, but after thinking about it, reconsidered. There is something about sitting behind a computer screen with absolute anonymity that makes some people feel empowered. Whatever. My Dad didn't teach me much, but one thing he did teach me was to "consider the source". If people are going to go out of their way to be mean and insult others on a message board, be the bigger person and just use the good ole Ignore button.
