Reply #55: People are entitled to be who they are, snarks included. [View All]

We're all here for different reasons; we are all different people. Some people are here to develop relationships and to seek emotional support; and there are many big-hearted people here. But there are also people that are here to debate; others are adversaries. Some people are here for the humor, and snark it up without understanding how anyone can take a message board so seriously. Others are hurt that strangers would 'snark' at them. Some are hurt that others would point out a flaw in their reasoning or values. (Freeper Post #4444 - "Librulz banned me cuz me like Bush. Intallerance!).

No one is the same all of the time. We all have our moods and life events. While I don't think that it's fair to be extremely unkind, the mods exist to weed out true freepers and 'abusers.' It's important to have some perspective about the impact of an internet disagreement.

If someone isn't nice, there's always the 'ignore' button.
