Re: When things get personal
If you see someone posting something you consider to be 'overstepping the mark' hit the report button. However, as we are only reading words it's very hard to tell, unless you know someone's 'style', if they're being rude, sarcastic, humorous, honest. Also two readers can read a post in two completely different ways. I may see rudeness, someone else may see humour. One person's level of acceptable behaviour can be completely different to someone elses.
So, if in doubt, report. In my opinion, the main problems occur when a poster reads a post (generally aimed at someone else entirely), takes offense and starts complaining about that post in the thread and an argument ensues. It is a very public forum, with individuals posting who you would have absolutely nothing to do with in real life. If someone continually responds in a manner you don't like, use the 'ignore' button. Don't let them (unknowingly some of the time) wind you up.
Disclaimer: There are also posters who have nothing better to do with their time than lob snotty posts about in order to get a rise but who manage to stay within the rules.

I thought that they were talking about Amazulu and NB. However, I don't think either of them is particularly rude or nasty. Just tell things like they are.
Of course I love you.

I think some people use BE as an outlet for negative aspects of their own life.
Is it a case of 'the dog kicks the cat, the cat kicks the mouse, the mouse comes on BE to sneer at someone' ?
It's easy enough to ignore someone after all.
