I have been on LIW for a while and honsetly..the air of negativity is getting so thick that sometimes you dont know what to say becasue everyone gets offended or goes out of their way to offend. What do you think will make this nasty time warp of negativity go away or at least quiet down a notch?

I agree with Jen, you're not #1. Posting something gross or political (as long as it's not personal or offensive ) is one thing, and I think that's fine, I think that's part of the #2 category (ok, so I really posted like 4 categories..lol)....
What's drama causing is like when someone says
'I can't believe so many people from such and such a group are on here why?'
or
'This person or group of people posts too many threads, they are so classless/trashy/tramy/hoe-baggy/annoying/whatever'
I mean there's absolutely NO point to posting those topics. there's no debate. There's either people jumping on your bandwagon saying 'yeah' and increasing the insult, or the people who will lay the smack down on you, and there you are, instant argument. instant drama
EXACTLY!!!

BRAVO LADY MOON!!! Exactly. I am always amazed at very specific folk who post for the seemingly SOLE purpose of creating drama then COMPLAINING about all the drama!!!!

Re: Is it just me noticing this..
Well there are people who think I'm a big drama queen, but they seem to only think that when i point out when other people are being dramatic and hypocritical. I post some provocative subjects sometimes, or I will lampoon something going on on the baords to try to make light of the drama, but I've never made personal attacks. EVER.
But some people, I mean when you do some of these things that are CLEARLY going to insult people, I mean, what's the point. Most of us said on a post a week ago that if a bride posts something and asks for our opinions on her dress, shoes, etc, we won't say anything if we don't have anything nice/constructive to say about it, however, when it comes to the content of someone's postings, or whatever, the claws come out.
What is the deal?

Re: Is it just me noticing this..
I don't know.. I've been gone for a bit.. and a lot of names look new.. and of course.. there are the ones I love to see still on here....
I love being crass and classless,..frankly.. it's all in fun.. nothing I say should ever hurt feelings... that would be REALLY wrong.. It should always remain innocent in a way.
I hope personal attacks are not part of the classless group now. Personal criticisms are OK. Personal attacks are bad. There's a definite bit of difeerence.
So I hope we can stop any negativity if in fact it does exist. Let's just laugh.

Re: Is it just me noticing this..
hmmmmmm...
Well i think i am a drama mama ( ). I like it at times. I like the debates, i like the agruments...as long as everyone remains respectful... And yes, my fangs start showing when i feel that people are really being rude and/or nasty. I have been know to make personal attacks (though usually it was started by another first), and maybe on some level that is immature and stooping down to some arse's level..BUT, when you see the same people over and over and OVER, intentionally trying to be mean...i lose it. All i can say is that it isn't very often!
eta...in my defense it was only 1 personal attack

Re: Is it just me noticing this..
As the official classless enforcer, I must tell you that we do not sanction or condone any personal attacks.
We do, however, take pride in laying the smack down every now and then when it needs to be laid.

I think the person who told you that awhile ago might have misunderstood your intentions at the time. I don't think that this would still be considered true!! My daring crime fighter against a certain persons stupidity attacks!!!!

lol I think we have all bared our fangs at one point or the other.. I think it says alot when you can apologise and move on. But if you feel cornered ..heck yeah defend yourself.
And I know I am a drama mama sometimes too lol but I am also supportive (at least I think I am) and feel that the majority of us are as well..but boy can we sniff out ..then our respect goes out the door

Re: Is it just me noticing this..
i belive most of the time drama is caused by misunderstandings. its hard to interpret a post the way it was intended all the time. once one person gets offended its a chain reaction... then some people dont even realize that they couldnt have taken it more the wrong way at all.
