Dear CF Posters...

A piece of advice...

Don't feed the negativity. IGNORE IT. Don't reply to it.

I've noticed a number of posters here complain about people crashing this board to attack CF posters.

Well, here's my solution...IGNORE THEM.

You can't argue with someone if they don't argue back.

And if you really have a problem with what a poster says - report the comment. Ask LIF to remove it or FM that poster about what they said.

But if WE keep this board DRAMA FREE then we'll be able to post and eventually they'll give up.

Seems like a no brainer to me, that is unless you really DO want the drama and you just like pointing the finger rather than actually doing something about the problem.

Ok, I'll step down from my soapbox now, the ball is in your court.

Happy posting! Chat Icon

Re: Dear CF Posters...

Sorry I don't agree...if people didn't come on this board to just slap my hand like I'm a child, then there would not be any drama to begin with.

Why do I have to ask them what they mean...why do I have to ask LIF to remove the post? I certainly don't see this kind of "warning" on any other board....sorry but its NOT the CF posters that cause the drama....Just saying....

I agree they shouldn't be here posting snarkyass responses but if you don't engage they will eventually get bored and move on.

We can't necessarily control who posts here but we sure as shyt can ignore them and not engage in the drama.

If we want to preserve the board we have to put on out big girl/big boy panties and take the high road.

It really seems simple to me. Almost like tuning out my stbx mil Chat Icon

This has been said before. I let lots of things go unsaid on this forum. It doesn't make a difference. Any attempt I made to try to nicely explain the different point of view frequently falls on deaf ears.

Not to sound like a jerk here, but I think a thread to generate an actual conversation would starve the negativity better then making suggestions on how people should or should not react to other posts.

I'll hop off my Chat Icon and start a thread now. Chat Icon

However, this thread and the other one I posted, have sparked the most conversation I've seen yet. Chat Icon

Although I agree...Feel free to start a thread, I'll post on it!
