Because LIF is a wonderful resource and has a wealth of information for people who don't know how to use Google

its a great site: its nice to see other people opinions and views on life. Although, there is a very ugly side but that is human nature.

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

I think some people like to fight. Some people like to be contrary for the sake of being contrary. So for them it IS fun to hate everyone and then spend their time on here arguing

Discontents I call them

Me personally, there are very few people who stick out as so awful I dislike. The ones that do are the obvious ones who everyone can't stand

There are a FEW ppl on here that I think are TOTAL B!tches and I just try to ignore them and yes I normally don't respond to anything they post. Its always the same ones that are nasty with every comment they don't agree with. Its quite annoying.

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

To me this is a public forum, nothing more, so I don't really know anyone well enough to dislike them ... I can barely remember screen names and I have been on LIF few years now...
I do feel that some people (no one in particular) need to lighten up a bit , they need to learn how to agree to disagree and remember that they are not alone, other people have opinions too ....

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

I think that is very odd too. I come here mostly out of habit and because I work from home in sales and though I love my job, it can get monotonous so LIF is an escape-adult interaction and conversation(well for the most part ) I can't see "hating" anyone on here because who do I really know? Obviously I have formed opinions on people based on what they write as I'm sure others have about me, but thats the extent of it.

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

I never look at screen names or pictures too closely, I don't know anyone well enough to hate or dislike or even like on here. Everytime I open a thread, to me, its all new people, all new opinions because I don't pay attention to anyone regularly to know what they normally say. I lurk daily, post occasionally.

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

I think this place is taken WAY too seriously. I really just come here as a chatting resource, I try not to get involved in the drama or the cliques (though it's fun to watch ). I 'talk' to many people from here, have met several and have made some great friends. But I think this place can get out of hand. I can't imagine making judgments/opinions on people I don't know. Yeah, maybe some posters are sh!tstirrers, others are born complainers, others are just puppies and rainbows...no different than IRL!

Like I said, people take this place waaayyy too seriously. I try not to form too strong of an opinion and take everything with a grain of salt. It's just not worth the time.

All we are saying...is give peace a chance!

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

There must have been another big drama post to trigger this topic.

I really don't understand why people "fight" on LIF. I've been on this website for years and I still don't recognize most users.

My kids are my life and I always come on here for information. I get so much parenting advice on here. LIF is a huge resource.

I don't understand how you can hate someone you never met....but this is the internet...and while I think most of the posters on here are "real" I'm sure there are a lot of fake posters and posers on here.

Same as there are a lot of shiiit stirrers on here as well as the goody two shoes who only see things in black and white and refuse to see the other side of a situation..such is life. In here and in the real world.

I come here to get great advice, look at cute pictures, get some suggestions, offer input, support hugs whatever where I can then go about my life. I don't take it too seriously. Yes I notice the cliques and the shiit stirrers and the goody two shoes but I don't let them affect my mood...not worth it because in the end it's only a minority of the LIF posters and the good outweighs the bad.

maybe they like the drama

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

I barely know most of the posters on here, but I do roll my eyes at a few and dislike a few others based on things that happened off the boards. I tend to ignore those posts/posters.

My friends and I also DO have a small private facebook group for chatting. However, I post on LIF primarily for pregnancy/parenting-related information because there is a wealth of knowledge/experience as well as other preggos going through the same thing as me

Honestly- I think it fires some people up and entertains them.

Personally- I don't know anyone here well enough to dislike them!

Re: I'm curious - if you don't like the majority of posters on LIF why people continue to post here?

I don't think I dislike anyone on here really.
Even those where a disagreement or the similar has occurred. I see it more as... so you disagree on this topic... there def could be another topic that you agree on.

Then when I think further about it... the only people who I could even remotely say I "dislike" are those who said outrageous things on specific boards where drama just doesn't belong (and literally only 2 people even come to mind). Or perhaps if a poster is just nasty all the time.

But for the most part... I don't dislike people on here.
