I skirt past all the negativity and comment on things I'm either interested in or where I can support (when online of course). Agree about some of the other things you put OP.

Be kind to yourself and others

Enjoy Take That.

Sometimes the way a comment is taken is about the frame of mind of the receiver than the poster. I've find some people flying off the handle because of the way they interpret it not the way it is meant.

The danger of the textual form of communication, there is no intonation

I think there are more friendly people here than trolls.

Ps .. also resisting the urge to comment on Take That

I agree with what people are saying: individually, and even in a group, everyone here is generally lovely.

I see the OP’s point though, as an overall experience, I can see how it could sometimes feel like a lonely wasteland if you’re not flavour of the month and if it feels like the interactions you’re having are limited.

That said, if you’ve got issues and demons this isn’t really the place to exorcise those. This is a place to leave your baggage at the door.

Well said. There are some really lovely, genuine and supportive people on here but I've experienced a lot of hate on here too. Some people are very cold and detached emotionally it seems.

As this is a " sex site " as people like to mention a lot, there will unfortunately be people who are only interested in number one and don't care who they hurt or abuse along the way.

I've come across some really lovely, thoughtful people who've been a real support so i'm trying to focus on them.

I hope you had fun at the concert.

As in every walk of life, the Forum holds a mix of people, of personalities, of moods

I think your experience may be different to that of many because your introduction was with a couple of contentious and somewhat contradictory threads

There was little warmth in your introduction, just 'BAM - feed on this' folks

The responses were, as expected, mixed and you have not allowed for this in your summing up of the forum and vis-a-vis 'us'

I can, hand on heart, say that herein lies a group of people with a combined life experience like no other, with opinions, with differing values, with differing communication skills, tolerances and intolerances, with cynicism and scepticism, literally a cross section of society

I only follow one other Forum and that is a local news site - I can tell you now, if you want cruel, go there, if you want warmth and consideration, stay here

Just don't expect sympathy and appeasement with every thread

I like it here. I probably wouldn't have returned to Fab if it didn't offer the facility, but friendship and warmth aren't givens

How you interpret and balance your own response to some of the comments thrown your way isn't always easy, but it is possible to find friends and indeed friendships in these few rooms and, hidden in amongst us all, there will be people that get YOU.

Concentrate on those, don't take everything to heart, pay scant attention to any repetitive 'haters' and just take things for what they are, comments, from strangers, on a screen, that you can turn off any time you like

If your mind won't allow you to detach from the comments, I do wonder, however, if this is the place to be asking questions about deeply personal subject matter

There are people who are paid professionals to help you work through those

They are a much better option for you

That does happen, but there are a few who like to make their feelings known via PM, I've had some vile messages sent because of something I've said in the forum. The way I respond doesn't change, still a report and block.

Couldn't agree more but it's easier to get there by steering your own ship and not trying to scupper everyone elses. I feel for those that don't see that the world is not focused on them or out to get them.

There and to the left a bit

As I said in your other thread OP - I find it helps to focus on the positives and those you do get on with and whose criteria you meet than worry about those who are the opposite - this place is no different from real life in that you can't like everyone or expect to be liked by everyone - those that you don't just avoid as much as possible and don't let them get you down, just as you would with the obnoxious work colleague or bloke down the pub - it makes the overall experience so much better.

I personally have found the forums incredibly supportive and informative in my time here - yeah there are those who put a negative spin on things, or who I disagree with often but that's not only the nature of the forums the world over but that's life!!

On the whole I've had lovely experiences, when I used to do the bar thread it was a great way to chat and say hello.. But also had some not so nice experiences but that's online... I've met some lovely people and continue to do so...

How was TT... I love all sorts of music but was really sad to miss them as didn't have anyone to go with . Hope you had an amazing time
