The way people to each other on here frankly appalling.

Why?

It’s a wonder anyone meets these days.

16 years ago I joined this site.

It’s a disgrace now.

No age limit on the rudeness

Young and old.

It’s so sad

We are fully with you on this one. Some behaviour on here is shocking. No manners, no respect!

Yep, this is why I have all my filters on at the moment. 1 rude or insulting message out of dozens is enough to shatter a confidence, well mine anyway.

I agree to a point

Society is killing itself

However

This is supposed to be an exclusive club,community,like minded human beings

It’s just horrible

I'm only going by the forums...but thought it'd got better. Last time I was here was dog eat dog..

... having said this, I have decided to engage the site differently this time around, so maybe that's why it feels different

People have changed but the site hasn't. Off site for nearly 2 years when i came back not much has changed, like I'd never been away.

I don't think it has gotten any better or worse, people will always be rude or bitter, blame others for their own failings, rationalise their own behaviours in their favou, same old same old, status Quo.

But as in previous visits, sometimes the sun does come out between the clouds briefly and it's those moments that are of value.

I think people have got ruder in general, since the pandemic.

I see a lot more entitled people in real life too.

It's easy to hide behind the anonymity on here and be rude though sadly.

Just block and report those who are rude op.

just block move on ... thick skin has always been needed on this scene ...

but people not interested is not runt

people having different opinions is not rude

no thanks is not rude

block is not rude

being blunt and to the point is not rude

totally ignoring isd not rude

some people will just think every one is rude just because they are getting nowhere

Don't know about society at large,but certainly online discourse has gotten worse than ever.

The anonymity seems to bring out the worst in people

I agree however I get more people are on the site, meaning people spend less time on individuals. For example, being a single male on here is very challenging, sometimes makes you feel like deleting the account.

But the connections I have made are great, and would certainly invest more time into them.

That being said, if anyone wants to PM etc, ping me a message, I’ll get back to you, albeit in a couple days.

Agreed some behaviour is way out of line and it's makes people start think everyone is going to be a problem

But we have to keep trying look and talk to the good people and hopefully we can improve the experience and have a positive impact

Isn't this just being blatantly rude yourself, is this not the very thing you are accusing others of? No im not ganging up just think this was unnecessary
