Showing Tact in Personal Threads

[one...two...tree 2,762]

It's really discouraging to see tactless posts in a thread where a VJ member is seeking advice and support. Remember there are real people behind these personal posts. Just my two cents.

Lighten up, dude. If you put yourself "out there" you get the good with the bad.

If someone only wants good, they should limit their venting to a controlled situation like a counseling session.

I just think that sometimes it's easy to forget that it's real people behind those personal posts with real issues.

I will never dare post my personal problems on a forum and what ever other forms epically has to do with money situations.

Thank you Steven.

[jundp 191]

Sorry, Steven. I didn't mean to say those things about you in that other threa-- oh, you weren't talking about that?

I agree though. I realize it's a public forum and that people should expect criticism and not all sunshine and rainbows, but there is a great deal of flat out rudeness here sometimes (and all over the interwebs, sure and in the real world, but still...)

I am often astonished at what people write in a public forum about their spouse, *WITHOUT* their knowledge. Unbelievable. Communication is the #1 issue in a marriage & airing your dirty laundry violates so that on so many levels.

Well, sure, I agree with you, Dev. But what if the topic isn't about their spouse?

I know this is an internet forum, but I would still think that common decency should prevail.

I agree that sometimes you have to remember that there is a person there, not just a story. It is important to greet people with a sense of dignity and caring.

Ditto to the Captain.

Astonished is an understatement.
