All this hate? WTF?

There are some things I just don't understand.

This board is devoted to the good and safe hobbying for both providers and clients.

Yet, just this morning, there seems to be an undercurrent of hate going on.

One thread started out as a discussion about BBWs and has degenerated into value judgements. "You don't like BBWs therefore you're an insensitive pig" and "BBWs are disgusting fat slobs" and whatnot.

Another one is all about how some crazed Muslim beheaded his wife because she wanted a divorce and has degenerated into yet-another "all Muslims are homicidal bastards" countered with "Jews are just as bad or worse" thread.

Can't we all just get along? Jeezuz....

Go get laid.
 
Screw you, you closed minded asshat. :D
 
I'm with Cap'ncrunch

Sick of the negativism ... as if the news isn't depressing enough, why do people have to perpetuate it, by spewing their negative value judgements and prejudices, every f**king opportunity they get?

I think the problem is that there are many on here who have no tact. Everyone is different (which is a good thing), but when people go to the lowest common denominator and post for the sole reason to offend it becomes something else.

Everyone becomes a tough guy when they are hiding behind a keyboard.

Sometimes it's their opinion, and not to offend anyone. When it's toward one person then yes it could be to offend, but when it generalizes' the group, it's an opinon.

This an opinion/review board is it not?

I understand what you are saying and agree to an extent. However if I were to come on and make derogatory statements about a group, (any group), there is no doubt in my mind it was meant for the intention of offending someone.

Take the BBW thread for example. I understand that not all men find large women attractive. That is totally cool, each to their own. There is a difference however in saying "I don't think most men find large women attractive", and "I think most men think of them as cows and whales". Both say the same thing, but one of them shows a severe lack of class, and was purposely meant to stir shit.

Just saying.

Yep.
 
I think you'll find that almost any discussion is welcome.

Differing opinions are welcome.

Insulting behaviour is not.

There is a difference.
 
I agree, it is a shame the thread was deleted. Though I disagree with the way in which many stated their case, I still think they had the right to say what they did, regardless of whether I was offended or not.

I will always advocate using tact, but never try to force anyone into doing so.
 
It takes time to go through and selectively delete posts while attempting to keep continuity in a thread.

The mods have lives.

Well, sorta.
 
The deleted BBW thread was just a symptom of what I've noticed as a much larger problem. I noticed a lack of civility that's becoming more and more apparent. Not just in the politics section - though, naturally, that one gets people's blood boiling and it isn't unexpected there - but all through the whole board.

For me personally, there's enough negativity in the real world. I grow weary of it here.

I think it's time for me to take a break from TERB for a while.

Luv why do you think it is sad that I have an opinion and preference is that because you are offended by the thread. You need to be a little more secure with yourself if you find what I had said to be insulting. Unlike the rest of this board I will not take a wrath from you nor will i change my opinion to accomidate anyone. You stating that it is sad that I was part of that thread has done nothing but show your insecurities towards your body. I think my opinion was very well stated and was not offensive in the least. So get over it, you are one of those that crys everytime you dont like something instead of stating a valid opinion and adding to a valid debate.

wtf you on abt??

Oh cap you dont need a break you just need to contribute more positive and honest things to boards like this and make difference sweets.......The whole world is like this no matter what your involved in.
I get what you're saying, but I really do need to take a break. Life awaits beyond TERB. Time to turn off the comp and go get it.

I heard walmart had a sale on tact last week, but they didn't sell any so they discontinued it lol
 
Erin I'm not insecure about anything thanks for your concern. having been a bigger woman in the past i do however have some sympathy towards the ladies who are. you think your all that but posting what you did showed nothing but how shallow and a total lack of human compassion you have towards others. it is sad that you would show that part because it really isn't flattering. also the fact that you took the opportunity to advertise in the the same breath, shows us all how much you think of being seen as a respectful and caring person I'm sorry but it is sad.:(
